"The primary focus for any leader planning a practice redesign is to have strong communication. You have to build in that feedback loop and make sure you've had that communication with the staff that are going to be involved with the change to get their buy-in." — Kit Bredimus, chief nursing officer, Midland Memorial Hospital, Midland, Texas

As nurse executives consider new care models to adapt to nursing shortages, involving their team members in the process is critical to success, says Kit Bredimus, DNP, RN, CPEN, CNML, NE-BC, CENP, NEA-BC, FACHE, FAONL, FNAP, chief nursing officer at Midland Memorial Hospital in Midland, Texas.

For this week's lead story, I spoke with Bredimus about he and Midland Memorial approach practice redesign and how they’ve found success.
