Shared Leadership Councils at UPMC Presbyterian
Nursing leaders are always seeking ways to improve the work setting in their organizations. Using a shared leadership model supports a journey to promote a culture of nursing excellence.
Our shared leadership structure is a way to strengthen nursing practices representing our Professional Practice Model (PPM). The main goal of shared leadership is to support nursing's desire to be in control over their practice setting.
UPMC Presbyterian strongly depends on our Shared Leadership structure to accomplish our organizational goals. Our councils are strong change agents who advocate by identifying areas of opportunity, research evidence-based literature, implement practice changes, and conduct audits to ensure compliance. Our Nursing Administration seeks the shared leadership councils’ input when making decisions related to nursing practice at UPMC Presbyterian.
