Care-centered organizations: Part 1: Nursing governance.
In the first of a three-part series on the role of nursing in care-centered organizations, the authors describe the thinking and process that lead to the creation of care centers and related governance structures. They explore the rationale for the establishment of care centers, describe the process for determining governance structures, and examine the changing role of nurse executives in a large academic medical center reorganized around care centers.
