The ability of an organization to create an environment where nurses feel engaged is essential because it affects their work commitment and loyalty. These outcomes are the reason why mission, vision, and values impact patient outcomes ANCA created an RN Satisfaction metric to encourage organizations to pay more attention to the nurses’ attitudes towards work. If nurses are disengaged, for example, since their personal values do not align with those of the organization, they will not perform their duties to the fullest extent and with the best quality possible.
Similar to the engagement of nurses, the mission, vision, and values affect the patient’s outcomes of treatment, making these statements essential for healthcare establishments. One reason is that these statements reflect how the leaders make decisions and what priorities they have, such as community health, patient outcomes, or financial gain.
