San Leandro’s Professional Governance Council Structure, IMPACT, launched the 4-part 4 month Caring Science series to ensure each professional governance nurse was trained in Caring Science principles to deliver Caritas care to their patients. This strategy has spread to our Nurse Residents, Nurse Leaders, and caring partners to ensure our CNE’s vision of each patient has the opportunity to be cared for by a Caritas Nurse.
Quality outcomes, care experience data, and workplace injuries are shared monthly on San Leandro Visibility Boards and aligned with new Daily Management Systems Boards on IMPACT Professional Governance Council Day.
