Nursing leaders must have a well-rounded
knowledge of the patient care delivery system continuum
between multiple
settings and stakeholders to include acute care, ambulatory care, health plan,
social services,
and community partners. The Ambulatory Care Nurse Executive
Toolkit is a professional development resource
designed by ambulatory
care nurse executives, for ambulatory care nurse executives.
This collection of best practice strategies and
tactics, collected from across the country and in current literature,
is aimed
at supporting the ambulatory care nurse executive and other leaders in
ambulatory healthcare settings.
Using the American Organization for Nursing
Leadership (AONL) Nurse Executive Competencies as a framework,
the task force
adapted 14 of the competencies for the role of nurse executives in the
ambulatory care setting.
