Care centered organizations, Part 2. The changing role of the nurse executives.
In the first (February 2001) of a three-part series on the role of nursing in care centered organizations, the rationale for establishing service lines, the process for determining governance structure, and the changing role of nurse executives in a large academic medical center reorganized around service-line care delivery were discussed. In this second article, the author describes the nursing governance structure in two academic healthcare institutions after their redesign into care centers.
