Inside a CNO Assessment: What It’s Like, and Why It’s So Valuable
with Laura Robertson, CNO, Banner Heart Hospital
A good chief nursing officer holds the quality of patient care—and satisfaction—in his or her hands. Through efforts to retain and motivate nurses or control costs while maximizing care, a good CNO is invaluable. Yet, a good CNO is hard to find. How can you ensure your pick has (or will have) the leadership skills, financial or business acumen, and strategic savvy necessary for success?
Day-in-the-life assessment is a powerful tool to assist in both the development and selection of top clinical health care leaders. Simulating decision making, financial aptitude, and tolerance of stressful situations, assessment has long been a best practice for top organizations in the business realm. And, it’s beginning to gain attention in the health care community.
One of those leading health care organizations, Banner Health System, uses CNO assessments to develop CNOs at affiliate hospitals across the country. Learn what the assessment experience is like—and what kind of results it garnered for the CNO who participated. Read Banner Health System’s account of CNO assessment.
