AONL digital transformation guidelines critical for practice

An article in the February issue of Nurse Leader lays out a crosswalk between AONL’s digital transformation guiding principles and AONL’s core competencies, showing how the guidelines are grounded in AONL’s foundational requirements for nurse leader practice. Released in 2024, the digital transformation guidelines outline how nurse leaders can lead and support their organizations in adopting and leveraging technology effectively. The alignment between the core competencies and the guidelines highlights the nurse leader’s critical role in advancing health care through technology. Nurse leaders who build upon the competencies are better equipped to lead their organizations to a place in which digital tools improve patient care, operational efficiency and interprofessional collaboration.
