Value-Based Care Insights New Episode NOW On-Demand
On this episode Dan explores the evolving role of operating room (OR) nurse leaders within the perioperative service line. As perioperative services become an increasingly important strategic and financial focus for hospitals and health systems, the demand is growing for leaders who can combine clinical expertise with business and operational acumen.
Joining the conversation is Cheryl Barratt, a seasoned healthcare consultant with over 30 years of experience in surgical services operations, system integration, and performance improvement. Cheryl discusses how perioperative nurse leaders, while strong clinically, frequently lack the training needed to manage the broader responsibilities of these roles. She shares practical insights into how organizations can support their development with leadership, financial, and strategic competencies that enable them to lead more effectively and drive long-term performance.
Key Takeaways:
- Today, OR nurse leaders must go beyond clinical expertise by building skills in business operations, financial management, and strategic thinking.
- Nurses are uniquely positioned for perioperative leadership roles due to their deep clinical knowledge and frontline experience.
- Health systems must invest in leadership development to equip OR nurse leaders to manage the increasing complexity of surgical services and rising patient expectations.
