Caregiver & Integrator

5. Integrator role
 Necessary in all complex organizations.
 Informal, unacknowledged, powerful.
 Arises at the point of greatest knowledge of
the product on a moment-to-moment basis.

6. The Youngest Science
“One thing the nurses do is to hold the place
together…My discovery as a patient…is that the
institution is held together, glued together,
enabled to function as an organism by the
nurses and by nobody else.”
- Lewis Thomas, MD, PhD

The Future of Nursing
 Nurses should practice to the full extent of their
education and training.
 Nurses should achieve higher levels of education &
training through an improved education system that
promotes seamless academic progression.
 Nurses should be full partners, with physicians and
other health professionals, in redesigning health care
in the U.S.
 Effective workforce planning and policy making
require better data collection and an improved
information infrastructure.

You have to engage the glue because,
without that ingredient, the innovation
won’t stick.
