Implementing Clinical Nurse Leader Role Improves Core Measures Performance, Patient and Physician Satisfaction and Reduces Nurse Turnover

Snapshot
Summary

St. Lucie Medical Center created a new position, known as the clinical nurse leader, who provides interdisciplinary coordination, facilitates care planning, serves as a physician liaison, encourages quality improvement and adherence to evidence-based practices, mentors and coaches less experienced nurses, and communicates with the patient and family. The program led to improved performance on Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services core measures, reduced nurse turnover, and increased patient and physician satisfaction.

Evidence Rating Moderate: The evidence consists of before-and-after comparisons of key outcomes measures, including scores on CMS core measures, nurse turnover, and physician and patient satisfaction.
