Shared governance: innovation or imitation?
Is nursing shared governance an innovation or merely an imitation of other organizational governances? A simple determination is confused by the euphemisms applied to similar governance forms and the simultaneous occurrence of related concepts like participation and decentralization. In the absence of a common model, anecdotal literature suggests that the implementation of shared governance in specific hospitals contributes to further innovation in governance.
