Building a Culture of Ownership in Healthcare, Third Edition: The Invisible Architecture of Core Values, Attitude, and Self-Empowerment

Winner of the 2025 ACHE James A. Hamilton Book of the Year awardAwarded third place in the 2024 AJN Book of the Year Awards in the Health Care Administration categoryIn 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.
