Nurse Leader Paper: Transformational Nurse Leadership Comes to Life - Igniting the Implementation of Age-Friendly Health Systems in CVS MinuteClinics
Nurse Leader has published a paper, "Transformational Nurse Leadership Comes to Life: Igniting the Implementation of Age-Friendly Health Systems in CVS MinuteClinics."
In the paper, authors Mary A. Dolansky, PhD, RN, FAAN, Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, Case Western Reserve University, et al note that, "As the population ages, it is imperative to ensure that older adults receive evidence-based care. Age-Friendly Health Systems is a national initiative to spread the evidence-based Age-Friendly What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility [4Ms] Framework, and is supported by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement."
The paper talks about a key driver to spread this effort being the use of transformational leadership, a leadership model used by nurse practitioners at MinuteClinic, the convenient care clinics in select CVS Health Pharmacies, to implement the Age-Friendly 4Ms Framework during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations are provided for aligning leadership principles of front-line staff, managers, and executives to encourage the implementation of evidence-based care using the transformational leadership model.
