Organizational Leadership in Primary Care Practices and Nurse Practitioner Care
Webinar Description
Although studies consistently demonstrate the critical role organizational leadership plays in promoting or restricting NP practice, little is known about effective strategies to promote a favorable relationship between NPs and leadership. This presentation will be focused on the role of leadership in healthcare organizations employing NPs. Leadership theories will be discussed, and recommendations for best practices will be provided to promote the relationship between NPs and leadership. By increasing awareness of NP competencies, organizational leadership will be better equipped to promote NP practice by providing NPs sufficient support and access to adequate organizational resources.
Objectives:
- Illustrate the need to understand the relationships between NPs and organizational leadership
- Analyze how organizational leadership promotes or restricts NP practice
- Demonstrate how to implement best practices to promote favorable relationship between NPs and organizational leadership
