The role of Chief Nursing Officers in B.C.'s Regional Health Authorities.
This is the first in a series of articles written by the Chief Nursing Officers (CNOs) of British Columbia. We appreciate the support of Anne Sutherland Boal, Chief Nurse Executive and Assistant Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Health Services, for facilitating the publication of this series. This first article will outline the origin of these roles, the strategic areas of interest for the CNOs in the province and a brief overview of how we are working together and with others to fulfill our mandate. Although several of the CNOs also have responsibility for the allied health professionals, the focus of these articles will be nursing.
