“…The impact of the nursing work environment is an important area of nursing research, particularly because the environment relates to patient safety and quality of care (IOM, 2004; American Nurses association, 2011). Magnet hospitals are popular with nurses since they are characterized by high levels of management support, positive nurse-doctor and nurse-manager relationships, professional responsibility and autonomy (Smith, Tallman, and Kelly, 2006). Most nurses succeed in these settings as workplace empowerment structures enhance nurses' autonomy, control, power, and opportunity (British Columbia Nurses Union, 2011).…”

“…It is imperative that stakeholders understand this intricate link in CRN in decision making. Implementing a transformational methodology such as RTCe impacted the outcomes related to the patient, CRN and organization as observed by others (Cameron et al, 2004;Canadian Health Services Research Foundation, 2006a;Green and Jordan, 2004;Havens and Vasey, 2003;Mrayyan, 2003;Porter-O'Grady, 2001, 2003aSmith et al, 2006;Tourangeau et al, 2005).…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to describe the processes and results of implementing and evaluating the Releasing Time to Caree (RTCe) model in a 45-bed Neurosciences unit in a tertiary care hospital in Saskatchewan province of western Canada. Design/methodology/approach -Organizational restructuring in healthcare systems has impacted the ability of clinical registered nurses (CRNs) in participation and in influencing the decision making that affect the delivery and outcomes of patient-centered care. At the same time, CRNs' work has intensified because of increases in patient acuity, technological advances, complexity of care provided to patient families and communities, in addition to the intensifying demands put on by an aging population and dwindling resources. The work reported in this paper shows that significant improvements have been made based on the current needs and the change is forever imminent. Establishing solid people connections and networking opportunities proved valuable for current and future exchange of information and knowledge translation. Findings -Model implementation resulted in positive narrative and empirical data including: improved patient safety, staff engagement, leadership opportunities and an affirmative shift in organizational culture. Improved patient safety was evidenced by a reduction in falls and decreased medication errors. Originality/value -The paper focuses on including the clinical nurse in organizational and system change towards improving patient-centered quality care. Neurosciences 6300 at Royal University Hospital (RUH) in Saskatoon, was viewed as an RTCe champion and one of the first to implement and complete the 11-module toolkit.

“…Each of these strategies, and the organizational attributes they create, have a positive impact on nurses' job satisfaction, their perception of the quality of care they deliver, trust in management, and the hospital environment as a whole. [2][3][4]6,[34][35][36][37][38] Research regarding satisfaction and retention was seminal to the formulation of the American Nurse Credentialing Center's (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program ® , a program that evaluates settings in which nurses practice, recognizing professional practice environments that demonstrate exemplary practice in these key areas. The ANCC program has continued to refine its standards based on research evidence and to disseminate evidence-based strategies that enhance professional nursing practice environments.…”
