Abstract

Coupling evidence-based practice with technology enables nursing leaders and their staffs to engage with new vigor and passion as they integrate better practices from the nursing literature into what happens at the patient bedside. The degree to which nurses and their leaders engage positively, or negatively, affects organization's health-from the unit to the boardroom. Nurse executives now have available to them the tools needed to measure, improve, and sustain a culture of engagement in their organizations.
