The Beryl Institute Announces Nurse Executive Council
DALLAS (PRWEB) February 22, 2018 -- With its commitment to engaging all voices in addressing patient experience excellence and a focus on expanding the participation of executive voices in the efforts of the patient experience community, The Beryl Institute introduces a Nurse Executive Council (NEC) comprised of senior nurse leaders from organizations across North America.
Formally launched in late 2017, the NEC is comprised of a diverse network of innovative and visionary nurse executives who will work collaboratively with the Institute to develop strategies for nurse leader engagement in the broader patient experience movement as well as inform the efforts of the Institute. The NEC will hold its first in-person meeting in association with The Beryl Institute Patient Experience Conference.
"As we continue to grow the Institute community, we maintain the perspective that all voices are essential in the patient experience conversation," said Jason Wolf, PhD, CPXP, President of The Beryl Institute. "We have always believed, and our research has reinforced, that executive support and engagement is critical to patient experience success. We're excited to partner with the Nurse Executive Council as we determine how to best expand the involvement of nurse executives and leaders and support them in positively impacting experience efforts in their own organizations."
The NEC will complement the Institute's Executive Board, Advisory Board, Resource Advisory Council and Global Patient and Family Advisory Council.
