through use of foundations laid in the theoretical development of
"Nursing As Caring" offers a solid foundation upon which to
recalibrate and reconfigure toward a caring organizational health
system."

This is a time-tested, practical guide for nurses and other
healthcare professionals who wish to transform their healthcare
systems based on caring values and the promotion of intra- and
inter-professional dialogue among stakeholders. It describes a
theoretically grounded model created by nurses for transforming the
culture of healthcare systems at all levels, and features tested
strategies that facilitate accessibility, efficiency,
effectiveness, and enhanced outcomes. At its most basic level, this
model, the Dance of Caring Persons, expresses the fundamental
beliefs and attitudes that each person in the healthcare system
lives caring meaningfully in unique and valuable ways, and the
contributions of each person to the whole of the enterprise have a
significant place within it.
The book features successful examples of how various units of
the healthcare system can apply specific strategies to their inter-
and intra-professional work, and how to engage and sustain
authentic dialogue among and between stakeholders. Chapters feature
information from a great variety of health professionals that
represent a broad range of participants in healthcare. Detailed
information is presented in a variety of formats ranging from
formal written responses to chapter contents to transcriptions of
small group conversations relating to the topic at hand. The book
reflects the interests of such major stakeholders as patients and
families, nurses, physicians and other primary and adjunctive care
providers, ancillary service providers, administrators and
managers, and all other individuals involved in the many aspects of
organizational models and delivery of health care and human
resource functions and outcomes. Each chapter includes questions to
consider and suggested resources to help with implementation of
strategies. The text incorporates professional standards and
essentials from the Joint Commission, ANCC, and AACN (DNP).
