NURS 764 - Integrative Structures of Transformative Practice

The transformation of healthcare occurs through an understanding of the integrative nursing and healthcare concepts, theories and sciences and their influences on health, well-being and health care delivery phenomena. As such, DNP leaders in complex organizational systems must possess the capacity to synthesize knowledge gleaned from the physical and social sciences, effectively translating that knowledge to create innovative practices aimed at the achievement of desired outcomes. Through the study and exploration of these foundational underpinnings, and the associated dynamics of the ethical structures of leadership, the influence and outcomes of interprofessional practice and the impact of policy and regulation, this course prepares DNP leaders to be agents in transforming health care and complex systems. Students will complete 50 hours of practice experiences during this course.
