    Author: Hendrich A, Chow MP, Goshert WS.
    Journal: J Nurs Adm; 2009 Jun; 39(6):266-75. PubMed ID: 19509601.
    Abstract:
    Mounting evidence describes inefficiencies in the hospital work environment that threaten the safety and sustainability of care. In response to these concerns, diverse experts convened to create a set of evidence-based recommendations for the transformation of the hospital work environment. The resulting Proclamation for Change, now endorsed by multiple health systems and professional and consumer organizations, cites patient-centered design, systemwide integrated technology, seamless workplace environments, and vendor partnerships as the cornerstones of transformational change.
