Apply to the Ambulatory Care Nursing Leadership Structure
Position Statement and Paper Task Force
Help Shape the Future of Ambulatory Care Nursing Leadership
AAACN is seeking members to join the Ambulatory Care Nursing Leadership Structure Position Statement and Paper Task Force, a new initiative focused on defining and strengthening nursing leadership frameworks across ambulatory care settings.
As health care systems become increasingly complex, clear leadership and reporting structures are essential for communication, accountability, and effective decision-making. This task force will explore how nursing leadership models can best support autonomy, collaboration, and improved patient outcomes.
Members will develop AAACN’s official position statement and paper outlining best practices and guiding principles for ambulatory care leadership, as well as a Companion Implementation Framework with practical tools—such as sample organizational charts and communication models—to help nurse leaders apply these concepts in their own organizations.
By establishing clear leadership structures, this work will elevate nurse leaders’ influence, strengthen standards of excellence, and enhance patient safety and outcomes. The task force’s work is expected to take approximately one year, with members meeting regularly and collaborating closely with AAACN leadership and the Board Liaison.
We are looking for AAACN members to serve on this Task Force who:
- Have experience with research of literature
- Have skills in writing and editing
- Have the desire to improve the quality of health care and elevate and advocate for the role of the RN in ambulatory care
- Can commit the time to this Task Force's work (several hours per week for approximately 6–8 months)
This is an opportunity to help create a lasting resource that will strengthen nursing practice, promote professional growth, and shape the voice of ambulatory care nursing for years to come. If you’re passionate about advancing ambulatory care nursing leadership, apply below.
Apply by Friday, November 14, by 11:59 pm Eastern.
