General Conclusions

Abstract

Life in healthcare organizations mirrors conditions in society and the economy more broadly. Markets are constantly in transformation, and thus businesses are forced to develop appropriate organizational governance mechanisms, policies, and structures in addition to attracting talented, well-trained knowledge workers. The survival of organizations in conditions of turbulence requires alignment of company goals with leadership capacity at all levels and adapting roles from the boardroom down to the frontline workers closest to customers protecting everyone’s contributions and performance to create resilient companies. Parallel trends can be found in healthcare organizations confronting constant transformations due to social and economic realities and the needs of patients and their families. Therefore, healthcare organizations have the unique positions to create governance and policy and appropriate structures to maximize the present and future capacities and abilities of healthcare workers such as clinical nurses, nurse managers and leaders as well as physicians and other healthcare workers to solve and find answers for continuous changing needs of patients and their families regardless of place, time or circumstances.
