Colorado Flex Program Success Story
ColoradoIn response to interest from Colorado's CAHs, CRHC partnered with the Colorado Center for Nursing Excellence to offer a Nurse Leader Development Course. The training targeted frontline nurse leaders interested in effectively leading and managing care delivery within healthcare facilities. The course focused on improving leadership through skill-building in change management, effective communication and dealing with personnel problems. Nurse Leaders who attended the course learned ways to create a culture which encourages the development of each staff nurse while assuring patient safety, satisfaction, quality of care and increasing staff nurse retention.
