Transformational leadership describes nurses who are
knowledgeable, strong risk-takers who follow a wellarticulated,
strategic philosophy in the day-to-day
operations of nursing services. Nurses, at all levels of
the organization, convey a strong sense of advocacy,
vision and support for the nursing staff and for the
patient.
Pat Niday, VP and CNO, conveys a strong and
supportive role as our chief nursing officer at Johnson
City Medical Center. Under the CNO’s scope of
practice, Pat has direct-line authority responsibilities
and matrix responsibilities where nursing is practiced
at JCMC. Pat is the leader with the development
of our MSHA Nursing Strategic Plan that outlines
strategies for optimizing outcomes through improved
clinical processes, enhancing financial performance
and creating a safe environment for patients and
caregivers. Promoting patient safety, quality nursing
care, and patient and nursing satisfaction are major
components in ensuring Patient-Centered Care,
positive patient outcomes and integrity in everything
we do.
