Definition of Shared Governance
9. Partnership
Developing collaboration and healthy partnerships among the
healthcare team is essential to teambuilding, relationship
development, and strengthening professional practice.
Each team member’s role is important in helping the organization
to meet its overall goals.
This importance is further demonstrated when staff are included
in practice decisions and process changes.
O Partnerships development can occur both internally and externally in
an organization
principles of shared governance
10. O Equity
Equity within a shared governance structure focuses on all members of the
team having an equal stake in the outcomes of the care and quality that they
provide
No one role is more important than the other in providing safe and efficient
care.
Each member has specific knowledge and skills that, when combined with
those of the entire healthcare team, deliver quality to patients in the most
efficient way.
Collaboration and team effort are essential for healthcare members to
achieve optimal outcomes.
Equity is achieved when team members come prepared to work within their
scope of practice and role within the organization to achieve an overall goal
principles of shared governance
11. Accountability
when all staff members achieve a clear
understanding of their role and expectations, and
take responsibility for their actions and decisions;
this is the core of shared governance.
In order to operationalize professional
accountability there must be autonomy, authority,
and control of practice.

governance
12. O Ownership
O Ownership is based on the fact that success of an
organization depends on how well each member of the
healthcare team performs their jobs.
O Ownership is being responsible for the end product or
outcome, whether good or bad.
O In ownership, the individual goals become team goals,
because the goal of the team cannot be achieved
without each person skillfully performing his roles and
integrating his efforts .

14. Shared governance models
O A congressional model,
O which is structured similarly to that of the federal government, all
nursing departments belong to the nursing congress.
O Members are elected into the cabinet or committees that represent the
areas of nursing accountability, which typically include: practice, quality,
professional development and education, research, and management.
In this model, work is submitted to the committees for action.
O The various committees of the congress are delegated decision making
power in their area of accountability and report back to the cabinet or
senate their activities
15. O The councilor model
O uses councils that act on behalf of staff to make
decisions.
O Councils are given authority and accountability to
make decisions in their area of oversight
O Like the congressional model, the councilor model
divides nursing accountability into five key areas:
practice, quality, education, research, and resource
management
Shared governance models
16. O The accountability is dispersed between staff and
management.
O Typically there is a central council that coordinates the
activities of the different councils.
O Nurse accountability is divided in the same categories as
in the congressional and councilor models.
O The main difference is that this model has two separate
tracks, one for clinical practice and one for management
O The structure allows for work to be completed by
committees and then reported to the responsible
committees for accountability
Shared governance models
17. The unit-based model
O Is the last model discussed in the literature and is rarely
used.
O Accountability is defined by the unit and decisions made
on the unit typically do not affect the organization outside
of the unit.
O In a unit based model, each unit can establish its own
individual system; the downfall is that there may be
different models within an organization.
O Unit-based councils are not recommended by literature
because they do not integrate with the organization or the
nursing executive level للتمريض التنفيذي المستوى .
