The Concise Encyclopedia of Nursing Leadership is a manageable, one-volume reference that describes and defines the field of nursing leadership. The Encyclopedia will provide students, faculty, nurse managers, executives, and others with a comprehensive resource for information about the range of knowledge and roles encompassed by the term "nursing leadership." It details the contributions of key nursing leaders, the knowledge base and traits of leadership, skills and models on which leadership is based, the regulatory environment of health care, the range of practice settings and roles, and the design of quality outcomes.
Nine themes have been developed around which the entries are organized:
* Management and Executive Skills
* Theories and Models of Management and Leadership
* Major Leaders and History of Management and Leadership in Nursing
* Professional Standards
* Health Care Delivery Standards and Health Policy
* Characteristics of Leaders
* Leadership in Practice, Education, and Research
* Quality Outcomes
* Informatics and Technology
