"We're down to one day a week where we come together in what we call a huddle. That is the place where, during the year of the pandemic, we used for more COVID decision-making, and now we use it for other things that need to be quickly communicated or things that need to have rapid decision-making." — Sharon H. Pappas, PhD, RN, CNE, Emory Health System As COVID-19 began to overwhelm hospitals and health systems, everything changed, including how decisions were made. Nurse leaders quickly had to make decisions about documentation requirements, masking, diagnostic testing procedures, and much more. Now, as the pandemic appears to be winding down, nurse leaders are retaining rapid decision-making and the advantages it brought to their systems. I talked with two nurse executives from Emory Health System in Atlanta, Sharon H. Pappas, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, the health system's chief nurse executive, and Nancye R. Feistritzer, DNP, RN, NEA- BC, vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer of Emory University Hospital and Emory Wesley Woods Hospital, about how rapid decision-making remains at Emory. |
