Abstract
The patient experience leadership structure at Northwell Health is strategically championed by Culture Leaders, a novel role
established to transform the organizational culture from “service excellence” to “patient experience.” This case report
describes how the implementation of Culture Leader structure has aided in the improvement of organizational patient
experience performance as well as how Culture Leaders remain highly engaged. Responsible for effectuating change by
bridging the gap between local and organizational experience strategies, Culture Leader engages key stakeholders within the
strategic pillars of culture, care delivery, hospitality, and accountability.

Introduction
In every organization, there are individuals who are culture
influencers. Formal or informal leaders, they elicit follower-
ship and have the ability to make definitive impacts on their
colleagues, processes, and organizational culture (1). Lead-
ers effectuate change and their interventions impact out-
comes (2). This case report focuses on how Northwell
Health systematically implemented a patient experience
leadership and accountability structure to drive cultural
transformation. The Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality describes patient experience as “the range of inter-
actions that patients have within the health-care system (3).”
Patient experience remains a national steadfast priority due
to the intrinsic and positive correlation with patient safety
and clinical effectiveness(4).
Northwell Health is a large, integrated health care orga-
nization comprised of 66 000þ caregivers, 23 hospitals, and
650þ medical practice locations, spanning geographically
from Westchester to New York City and across Long Island.
Due to the inherent growth of the organization by means of
mergers and acquisitions, patient experience efforts were
historically siloed, fragmented, and inconsistent, with much
focus on reactive service recovery. There were pockets of
excellence and areas of opportunity to achieve our mission
of providing world-class, patient- and family-centered care.
Description
Northwell is continually growing and evolving. Consistent
challenges include organizational complexity, geographic
span, and diverse communities and workforce. In 2014,
Northwell’s first Chief Experience Officer joined the orga-
nization bringing a unique and refreshed perspective given
his hospitality indust

Developing a Nursing Practice
Framework to Align With
Strategy
Joan Gygax Spicer, PhD, RN, CCM, NEA-BC
Patricia S.A. Sparacino, PhD, RN, FAAN
Noris E. Larkin, BSN, RN
Clinical and administrative nurse
leaders in a safety-net health system
in Northern California developed
and implemented a nursing prac-
tice framework to complement the
system_s 5-year strategic initiative
(2015-2020). Their contributions
have been integral to the health
system_s strategic direction and
success. This article summarizes
highlights of the journey from intel-
lectual curiosity to pragmatic im-
plementation system-wide.
Intellectual curiosity is the seed of
every successful journey. The jour-
ney here summarized began in
2014 when clinical and adminis-
trative nurses, in a 100-bed hospital
with associated community clinics,
met to discuss the development of a
nursing practice framework (NPF).
The San Mateo Medical Center
(SMMC), which is the safety-net
health system for San Mateo County,
California, comprises a public hos-
pital with medical and psychiatric
emergency services, 10 community
clinics across a 744-square-mile
county, and a skilled nursing facil-
ity. Almost 75% of the patients who
receive care at SMMC are low-
income residents who are covered
by Medi-Cal (California_s Medicaid
program) or by San Mateo County_s
Access to Care for Everyone pro-
gram. Many of the patients have
weak social support and have
experienced the negative impact
of physical, social, or emotional
trauma on their health. Sixty-five
percent of the patients identify a
preferred language other than
English; most of these patients iden-
tify Spanish as their preferred lan-
guage. The small cadre of RNs
deliver nursing care at 18 points
within the medical center, clinic
system, and skilled nursing facility.
In many respects, the journey
itself was more important than the
publication of Being and Becom-
ing a Nurse at San Mateo Medical
Center: A Nursing Practice Frame-
work. Notable highlights include
the importance of developing an
inclusionary framework, aligning
visually the NPF with the orga-
nization_s strategic initiatives, ar-
ticulating nurses_ contributions to
financial stewardship, creating
synergy of nurses_ work across the
SMMC care continuum, validating
externally SMMC nurses_ work,
and developing a nursing brand.
The Journey
Developing an Inclusionary
Framework
Rather than adopting a nursing
theoryYbased professional prac-
tice model, the organization_s clin-
ical and administrative nurse leaders
created an NPF to guide the devel-
opment of nursing_s strategic goals
and plans.1 They wanted this NPF
to be culturally aligned, flexible,
and adaptable2; meaningful to non-
nursing colleagues; pragmatic;
and inclusionary. Although the
NPF complements the SMMC_s

Many schools of nursing have employed strategic planning as resources have become limited and demands for
organizational efficiency have increased. Although the process of developing a strategic plan has been described
in the literature, there is little information about how to implement and evaluate a plan. In this paper, we
provide an overview of one nursing school’s strategic plan development and the implementation and evaluation
processes. Our paper provides a detailed description of the leadership framework used to shape, implement and
evaluate the plan and makes recommendations for their application to other schools engaging in strategic
planning.
Introduction
Traditionally, strategic planning has been the purview of organi-
zations in the business sector. That has changed as universities em-
braced the practice (Kulage et al., 2013; Best, Jarrin, Butterheim,
Bowles, & Curley, 2015). Public support and research funding had
dwindled, and tuition caps became common. It was clear that uni-
versities, like businesses, needed to make crucial decisions about how to
better manage resources in tight financial times. This mandate became
important for private schools as well as public universities. Likewise,
schools of nursing began to look closely at strategic planning as a means
of bridging gaps between resources, whether their funds flowed directly
and solely from university administrations or they operated under a
responsibility-centered budgeting model (Broome, Bowersox, & Relf,
2017).
The purpose of strategic planning is defined as a set of processes
undertaken to develop a range of strategies to help an organization
achieve its goals and objectives over a three- to five-year period
(Tapinos, Dyson, & Meadows, 2005; Broome, Bowersox, & Relf, 2017).
This kind of planning becomes especially important when there is a
transition of authority at the organizational level (i.e., dean, provost,
president).
In schools of nursing, strategic planning is an essential activity as
resources are increasingly limited, faculty shortages prevail, and de-
mands for new programs continue. Further, expectations for the school
to be involved in university-level initiatives (e.g., global health,
community engagement) increase the
