Brief for the Canadian Nurses Association's National Expert Commission on The Health of Our Nation – The Future of Our Health System.
The purpose of this brief is to recommend what is needed for health executives and senior leaders to effectively lead health system transformation in Canada. To develop a truly integrated patient-centred healthcare system, health leaders are called upon to work across boundaries related to organizations, professions, sectors, geography and jurisdictions.
We offer the following recommendations to strengthen the role of executive leadership in transforming the Canadian healthcare system:
-
Balance national vision and strategy with local flexibility
-
Develop avant-garde executive leadership competencies
-
Tap into expertise to develop executive leadership capacity and accelerate change
-
Foster executive leadership continuity and succession planning
