Description
In the aftermath of the pandemic, preexisting challenges in healthcare organizations have intensified. Stress, burnout, staffing shortages, and even the erosion of trust in organizational leadership are pressing issues that need solutions.
Using construction as their metaphor, authors Joe Tye and Bob Dent make a compelling case that a healthcare organization's Invisible Architecture-a foundation of core values, a superstructure of organizational culture, and the interior finish of workplace attitude-is no less important than its visible architecture.
In this third edition of Building a Culture of Ownership in Healthcare, readers will learn how investing in their organization and their people can enable a significant, successful change in productivity; employee engagement; nurse satisfaction, recruitment, and retention; quality of care; patient satisfaction; and positive financial outcomes.

Critical Reviews
"Nurse leaders from the HCA South Atlantic Division created a book club program using the first edition of Building a Culture of Ownership in Healthcare. The ideas in this book, including the concept of Invisible Architecture, helped us formulate a meaningful statement of core values for the division, and many of our hospitals implemented strategies for building a Culture of Ownership using the book as a guide, several examples of which are included in this third edition. An excellent blueprint to develop and sustain exceptional cultures."

"Healthcare in the 21st century can, at times, be completely overwhelming and frustrating to the individual practitioner. How do we, as providers of healthcare services, find a way to preserve ourselves in order to serve our patients? How do we create the type of environment that we not only want to work in, but thrive in? Joe and Bob ask these important questions and provide the framework for establishing a Culture of Ownership among everyone in the healthcare arena. Ownership provides purpose while building resilience. The lessons learned are timely and timeless."
-Andrew S. Nugent, MD, MHA Clinical Professor, Chair, and Department Executive Officer Department of Emergency Medicine University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics
"In a Culture of Ownership, no one has to hold you accountable; "You hold yourself accountable." Love it. This edition offers a clear blueprint to all leaders to ensure we execute our promise to assist those needing healthcare services. I know you will be inspired to inspire others after reading this book."
