The manager role involves guiding others through a set of derived practices that are evidence-based and known to satisfy preestablished outcomes such as participation in a competency program.This involves engagement of staff through sharing of concerns and ideas.A close analysis of the IOM report and the summary of the PPACA suggests that no health reform can unfold without active nursing engagement.Each document emphasizes that nurses must lead,manage,and behave as active collaborators with other members of the health team and with those being served.
