Why Shared Decision Making
• Essential to achieving the best patient outcomes by giving nurses control of their practice – they know best! • Recognizes the power already present in a role and allows that power to be expressed legitimately • Builds autonomy into the profession

Shared Decision Making – The Process
A dynamic process that is centered on 4 critical principles of fully empowered organizations: Partnership Accountability Equity Ownership

Operational Definitions
• Partnership – nursing staff and leadership work together at the unit and system level to move practice forward and achieve the best outcomes • Accountability - staff and managers share ownership for the outcomes of our work and are answerable to our colleagues, the institution and the community we serve

Operational Definitions
• Equity – Integrating roles to achieve outcomes; everyone contributes within the scope of their role as part of the team • Ownership – Everyone must realize that success is linked to how well they do their jobs
