Keeping Nurses Engaged in Nursing Professional Governance During the COVID-19 Pandemic:: Nursing Professional Governance Structure at Yale New Haven Hospital

Kate Baron et al. Nurse Lead. 2021 Apr.

Abstract

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing professional governance (NPG) clinical nurse leaders at Yale New Haven Hospital developed an innovative way to engage nurses in their practice. Utilizing an electronic platform, NPG leaders established a way to harvest best practices, innovations, and resources from clinical nurses and reputable sources to share with all nurses in every practice area. Support for NPG leaders to have dedicated time for this work accelerated the process and allowed them to engage with nursing leaders to enhance communication and support clinical nurses. This work demonstrated the value of NPG during a time of crisis.
