Pediatric Intensive Care Unit nurses’ lived experience of environmental and quality improvement changes in the context of a major hospital transformation

Massive public and private funding is being invested in building new healthcare infrastructure. Hospitals who take part in building new facilities often take this opportunity to improve their practices through quality improvement projects. The organizational transformations that result create a lot of changes for individuals who work, visit and receive care in these hospitals. Nurses as recognized experts in leading change are often solicited to participate in projects and are often impacted professionally and personally by the changes that these projects bring about. The main objective of this study is to explore pediatric intensive care unit nurses’ lived experience of environmental and quality improvement changes in the context of a major hospital transformation. The Mitacs project will focus on the data analysis phase, with leading experts in organizational spaces, project management and healthcare environments at the host university. TO BE CONT’D
