Abstract
To succeed in the face of recent challenges, healthcare organizations need highly trained, educated, and competent staff. Nursing professional development (NPD) practitioners and departments are a key component to achieving this goal. Little evidence exists on the most efficient and effective way to organize NPD departments in the hospital setting. This article describes 1 hospital's journey through centralization of an NPD department, which resulted in high satisfaction, cost savings, and enhanced quality outcomes.
