AONL Releases Span of Accountability Tool

AONL released the Nurse Manager Span of Accountability Index to provide nurse leaders with a data informed evaluation of nurse manager workload across staffing, scope and support. With nurse managers leading increasingly complex teams, budgets and responsibilities, the index enables organizations to visualize leader-to-team structures, identify operational strain and assess capacity needs. Nurse leaders can use the tool to quantify workload and team complexity, assess accountability spans across units or organizations and reveal where added support or role design may strengthen safety, retention and engagement. The tool can inform span of accountability changes and associated return on investment projections. More information about the tool, including purchase options, is available on AONL’s website.
