Nurse leader calls for systemwide well-being initiatives
Well-being initiatives must on building systemwide healthy work environments rather than individual resilience to be effective, says 兔子先生member Vicki Good, DNP, RN, chief clinical officer at the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses. Such initiatives take time to change culture but are worth the effort. Health workers need to bring their 鈥渂est self鈥 to work, but they cannot do that when work environments are not healthy. She notes many organizations recognize the importance of including nurses and other clinicians in efforts to improve well-being. The AACN is building a network to share its well-being best practices broadly, including through its partnership with the National Academy of Medicine鈥檚 , where it elevates the nursing perspective in well-being initiatives.
