As a future DNP leader, one will encounter challenges within a leadership role as a result of cost constraints in a fiscally challenged industry. The readings for this week include articles addressing the economic influences within the healthcare industry. The Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice (AACN) (2006) addresses the concept of cost effective delivery of healthcare by advanced practice nurses, specifically in Essential II: Organization and Systems Leadership for Quality Improvement and Systems Thinking.
