The Magnet ® Model : Structural Empowerment
Incorporate shared decision-making
Structural empowerment includes shared decision-making . A decentralized organizational structure includes nurses in the creation and development of personnel policies and programs that support professional nursing practice , work-life balance , and the delivery of quality care .
Engage direct care employees in strategic planning
Transformational leaders involve employees in strategic planning , which leads to increased employee adherence and competency in delivering evidence-based care . When patient care providers identify impediments to patient care rather than management , the priority areas identified tend to be unified , resulting in improved patient outcomes and sustainable project goals .
