INDIANAPOLIS—Are you trying to build a culture of ownership in your healthcare organization? In a new edition of their multi-AJN award-winning book, authors Joe Tye and Bob Dent continue to use construction as a metaphor to make the case that a healthcare organization’s Invisible Architecture—a foundation of core values, a superstructure of organizational culture, and the interior finish of workplace attitude—is no less important than its visible architecture.
In Building a Culture of Ownership in Healthcare, Tye and Dent believe that the challenges that healthcare organizations faced before the COVID-19 pandemic—stress, burnout, staffing shortages, and the erosion of trust in organizations—have only intensified. To be a part of the solution, they have provided a proven model, strategies, and practical solutions to help improve organizational culture in the healthcare setting. Readers will learn how investing in their organization and their people enables a significant, successful change in productivity; employee engagement; nurse satisfaction; recruitment and retention; quality of care; patient satisfaction; and positive financial outcomes.
In this third edition, readers will find a new chapter expanding on the concept of Invisible Architecture in organizations; new strategies to enhance bilateral loyalty and rebuild trust; ways to plan and care for COVID long-haulers; how to use the Assess-Inspire-Engage-Sustain Model for cultural transformation; and updated narratives, notes, and examples.
