Sustaining work redesign innovations through shared governance.
Organizational change, in the form of work redesign, is widespread in hospitals across the country. How can the resulting patient-focused care models be sustained when "sustaining" means continuously changing and improving? The authors describe one hospital's use of a multidisciplinary shared governance system to provide the structure and process support for the innovative changes initiated by work redesign.
