Interdisciplinary interactions

You are the nurse manager on an orthopedic unit in your hospital. The CNO convenes a retreat with all of the nurse managers in the department of nursing to create a unified vision for the Department of Nursing and then challenges each of you to come up with your own vision for your individual unit that is in alignment with that Department of Nursing vision. The Department of Nursing vision that all of you have worked on and developed, and are now in agreement with is ‘Providing Excellent, Evidenced Based Care Delivery With Every Patient Encounter.’ Please discuss the following points:

What process will you use to develop your unit’s vision and why?
How will you incorporate it into the culture of your unit once you have developed it?
How will you incorporate/model this in your interdisciplinary interactions?
