Impact Report to Senior Leadership
Nurse leaders play an important role in guiding nursing professionals to achieve a health
care organization’s quality and safety standards—standards that should help patients receive
high-quality care without negative outcomes on their health. Despite efforts to maintain these
standards, health care organizations across the United States of America have witnessed an
increase in the number of poor patient outcomes (that stem from unsafe care. According to the
Quality Interagency Coordination Task Force, the consequences of quality and safety issues in
patients have amounted to an annual loss of $29 billion (Huber, 2017).
The importance of maintaining patient safety standards in health care will be explored
based on the challenges faced by a well-known nursing facility in the United States of America.
Located in a major city, the facility provides 24-hour residential care to the elderly and people
with special needs who require customized care. The facility has been facing patient safety issues
connected to how its nursing professionals administer treatment and monitor patients.
Patient Safety as a Nursing Challenge in the Nursing Facility
Nursing professionals are the primary caregivers in any health care setting; they spend
the most time with patients as they administer treatment, detect signs of deterioration in patients,
and build caring relationships with them. Therefore, safety issues that cause any negative
outcomes in their patients can affect nursing professionals emotionally and hinder their career
development (Lawton, Carruthers, Gardner, Wright, & McEachan, 2012; Huber, 2017).
The nursing facility encountered safety issues caused by nurses when administering
medicines, patients falling or injuring themselves because of nursing negligence. These issues

are called adverse events because they occur in clinical practice and affect patients directly (U.S.
Food & Drug Administration, n.d.).
Following the perspectives of systems theory, which explain how smaller parts of an
organization affect the whole, the safety issues caused by errors in nursing practice can impact
the organization and its achievement of health care goals on a larger scale. In fact, adverse events
in nursing may have multiple consequences across the entire organization as different parts
interact symbiotically. For example, the safety issues have made the facility vulnerable to
sentinel events, which are patient-related events that result in death, permanent harm, or grievous
injury (The Joint Commission, 2017). Finding solutions to such challenges in nursing practice
requires nurses to grow into genuine systems leaders who can safeguard the goals of the
organization and nurture similar commitment in other nursing professionals (Senge, Hamilton, &
Kania, 2015).

The Impact of Safety Issues on the Organization

Since its inception, the nursing facility has always prided itself as a premier health care
organization that offers specialized physical, occupational, and rehabilitative therapies, aside
from medical services to the elderly and people with special needs. Through its mission, vision,
and core value statements, the facility has made a commitment to improve people’s lives, abide
by health care ethics, adhere to local and national health care standards, and provide affordable
services. The facility depends on skilled staff, nurses included, to carry out the goals mentioned
in its mission, vision, and core value statements.
However, the adverse events taking place in the facility and among its nursing
professionals are contradicting the mission, vision, and core value statements.. Systems theory

states that organizations have inherent weaknesses—latent failures—that can cause adverse
events in patient care (Lawton et al., 2012; Huber, 2017).
Nurse leaders can ensure there is a culture of safety and quality through implementation
of continuous quality improvement and safety management initiatives. Organizational change
guided by systems theory plays a major role when introducing any quality improvement and
safety management initiatives. An effective safety culture in health care acknowledges change as
a common element in health care and can pre-emptively reduce the probability of adverse events
(Huber, 2017). The culture of safety incorporates systems thinking into patient-related decisionmaking made by nurse leaders, which allows them and nursing professionals to consider how
actions can affect an organization as a whole.

the greatest impact on health care quality and patient safety.

Defining the New Leadership Position at the Nursing Facility

CNO will be responsible for planning, executing, and evaluating the strategies to improve safety
issues. The CNO will also be a part of the facility’s shared governance council and will head a

team that will analyze the organization for latent failures. Certain key competencies—
knowledge, skills, and attitudes—will define the broad nature of the CNO’s role and influence in
the organization.
Key Competencies for the Nursing Leadership Position
The American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE, 2015) details five professional
leadership competencies that can help the chief nursing officer. The five competencies are
communication and relationship-building, professionalism, leadership skills, business skills, and
knowledge of the health care environment (AONE, 2015).
By developing these competencies, the CNO will gain (a) knowledge about global trends
in nursing and health care; (b) expert problem-solving and critical-thinking skills for making
decisions; (c) an understanding of patient safety and quality care; (d) an understanding of
organizational politics, authority, and power dynamics; (e) relationship-building and teambuilding skills; (f) knowledge of systems theory and systems thinking; and (g) the trust of health
care professionals in the organization and the skills to adapt to organizational change.
Influence of Leadership Power in Patient Outcomes
Demonstrating appropriate power and authority is a prerequisite for productive nursing
leadership. Having this authority allows nurse leaders to recruit and retain a highly skilled
nursing workforce, which is a critical indicator of patient safety. They can also maintain the

of Nursing, 2015).
Conclusion
Successful health care organizations are those that understand the role of nursing
professionals in patient outcomes and involve the workforce in addressing safety and quality
concerns. Such organizations demonstrate effective management that identifies latent
organizational factors behind adverse events and implements solutions accordingly. Nurse
leaders are crucial to this system as they communicate organizational and nursing goals to other
health care professionals in the organization. Acknowledging these nursing roles and
incorporating them into an organization’s strategic planning help health care professionals adapt
to sudden environmental changes that affect safety and quality (Salmela, Eriksson, &
Fagerström, 2013).
