Center for American Nurses: Workflow Design

Established in 2003, the Center for American Nurses offers tools, services and strategies designed to make nurses their own best advocates in their practice environments. Through research, continuing education and knowledge sharing among today’s nursing community, the Center offers powerful resources to nurses seeking to overcome workforce challenges and realize opportunities.

The Center for the American Nurses is advocating that registered nurses become active participants in any future design decisions that involve their workplaces.
