The Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) is a Registered Nurse with a
Master's degree in Nursing from a university with a specialized CNL
program. The competencies unique to CNL practice are clinical
leadership, care environment management, and clinical outcomes
management. The CNL enacts these competencies at the clinical
microsystem defined as functional front-line unit such as a
hospital unit, outpatient clinic, or home health setting, or unit
level to influence care delivery processes and dynamics. The CNL
works with healthcare team members and leaders to coordinate care,
manage resources, and compile and evaluate data with a focus on
quality, patient safety, and outcomes.

Nursing Professional Practice Model and Care Delivery Model, and is

"Competencies and Curricular Expectations for Clinical Nurse Leader
Education and Practice" (2013), and an empirically validated
conceptual model for CNL practice (Bender et al. 2016).
The CNL partners with patients, staff, and providers. The CNL
collaborates with nursing leadership to focus on the patient, at
the point of care as a subject matter expert. To support this

knowledgeable, uphold the practice of nursing as outlined by the
Georgia Professional Nurse Practice Act, and implement the Scope of
Practice and Code of Ethics Standards put forth by the American
Nurses Association. As a member of the healthcare team, it is
