Part of that experience includes care coordination and care transitions, which promote value-based care. But with nurses pulled in multiple directions in a demanding, fast-paced work environment, how can you create a safe environment for patients across the care continuum? And how can nurse leaders achieve the best outcomes in nurse engagement and patient health?
