Abstract

Abstract: High quality nursing care is linked to improved patient experience and outcomes, which is of paramount importance to healthcare delivery, especially in light of the significant local and global challenges. Having workplace environments that nurture a culture of nursing excellence is fundamental to delivering best quality nursing care. The American Nursing Credentialing Centre (ANCC) Pathway to Excellence® programme provides a framework to improve working environments for nurses. This paper narrates the Pathway to Excellence® journey for the first Children’s Hospital to attain this international accreditation in Europe with a focus on staff engagement. Key to success was nursing strategic planning, transformational leadership, and effective staff engagement activities informed by a change model framework.
