How might we discover the strategies top nurse leaders use to tackle workforce challenges, conquer administrative burdens, and harness technology to enhance nursing practice?

Empowering our nurses to make decisions on behalf of their patients and their careers is a foundation of our 10-year-strategic plan at MultiCare. The fact is patient outcomes improve when nurses are empowered to make necessary decisions and influence positive change. It also is a building block for resiliency and professional development. While there is always more work to do, I am proud of the shared nursing leadership culture we are building at MultiCare. Last year, we documented nearly 300 separate decisions nurses made that related directly to our nursing practice. Nursing involvement in our shared nursing leadership program has grown from 14 percent in 2018 to 72 percent in 2023. More importantly, our nurses reported feeling less burned out in 2023 when compared to the previous year, although burnout is still a very big issue across the healthcare industry and within the clinical ranks at MultiCare. Thank you to all our incredible nurses who are participating in our shared leadership councils. You are making a real difference in the outcomes of our patients. #multicare #multicarenurses #structuralempowerment #resiliency
