title: Responsibility and authority must match in nursing management.
abstract: Throughout one hospital's nursing management structure, the authority delegated to the nurse managers is commensurate with the responsibility delegated to them. This approach has helped to ensure that they can fulfill their responsibilities, has changed the roles of nurse managers at all levels throughout the structure, and has provided a system that is highly responsive to operational and personnel problems and concerns.
