Nursing council ... coordination within decentralization.
A nursing council modeled after the traditional five nursing roles--manager, educator, practitioner, evaluator and researcher--improves patient outcomes and enhances nurse work satisfaction. The council provides a participative forum to address nursing and patient-care issues within a decentralized matrix organization.
