The Corporate Oversea Leadership Program provides a good opportunity to build up the competence of clinical leader and also broaden our perspectives in oversea health care service delivery. The UC San Diego hospital we visited, was bestowed the Magnet recognized health care organization for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovation in nursing practice.
The Magnet Hospital is based on strengths in five key areas as structural empowerment, transformational leadership, exemplary professional practice, new knowledge innovations and improvements and empirical outcomes. The transformational leadership plays a proactive role in the healthcare management that inspiring followers to change perceptions and motivations to work towards the common goals of the organization and creating a sense of commitment.
The regular executive patient safety rounds and Nurse Collaborative Round among nurses and the leaders in the UC San Diego hospital can facilitate the mutual learning and sharing of the best practice to enhance safety of patient and quality of care. The periodic clinical nurse workshops act as a good platform to encourage staff to gain recognition through conducting research to develop new models and evidence based nursing care. The just culture is facilitated in the UC San Diego hospital for open communication focused on the improvement of care instead of blaming or criticism.
The clinical service development and enhancement in individual hospital as well as the cluster based service in Hospital Authority in HK will also be led by competent leader. The roles of the clinical leader in the healthcare unit are to promote the teamwork among staff and motivate staff to function at a high level of performance. The new generation of clinical leaders needed to be equipped and nurtured with significant training and support to enhance the continuum and standard of care.
The synergy in nursing chain can be best demonstrated in our groups of participants for this leadership program in different ranks from RN, APN, DOM and GMN. This nursing chain reaction is powerful as it provides a great platform to learn and share the management skills from different positions and specialty nursing.
