An assessment taxonomy for designing nursing research programs.
Clinical nursing research programs are a common structural component within nursing service organizations. Descriptive literature identifies many design features that are important in the development and success of organizational innovations, among which is the need to design programs that are congruent with the overall organization. Two exploratory Delphi studies were conducted to identify and classify organizational attributes that clinical nurse researchers considered critically important to the success of nursing research programs. Nadler and Tushman's Congruence Model for Organization Analysis was used as a framework to develop an assessment taxonomy for classification of the 64 critically important attributes identified by clinical nurse researchers.
