title: The role of the chief nurse executive in the knowledge-intense organization of the future.
abstract: The health care world is being upended. Nurse executives, like other leaders, must develop new roles or risk being displaced or discarded. The health care organizations of the future are likely to look and function much more like "knowledge-intense organizations," peopled by knowledge professionals working in sophisticated interdisciplinary groups or teams. Nurse executives are well positioned to create new leadership roles in these knowledge-intense organizations.
