Help Shape the Future of Ambulatory Care Nursing Leadership

AAACN is seeking members to join the Ambulatory Care Nursing Leadership Structure Position Statement and Paper Task Force, a new initiative focused on defining and strengthening nursing leadership frameworks across ambulatory care settings.

As health care systems become increasingly complex, clear leadership and reporting structures are essential for communication, accountability, and effective decision-making.

By establishing clear leadership structures, this work will elevate nurse leaders’ influence, strengthen standards of excellence, and enhance patient safety and outcomes. The task force’s work is expected to take approximately one year, with members meeting regularly and collaborating closely with AAACN leadership and the Board Liaison.

We are looking for AAACN members to serve on this Task Force who:

Have experience with research of literature
