title: Organizational innovations that nourish staff leadership.
abstract: Health care is experiencing a paradigm shift that has the potential to redefine traditional roles, systems, and practices. At Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the nursing organization has capitalized on this potential and has been energized by the array of opportunities for innovation and experimentation. The results of these efforts suggest that many of these changes not only are positive approaches to patient care but also promote staff leadership and an entrepreneurial spirit at the front line.
