Front-line staff was exhausted and dispirited by the increasing workloads, inefficient work processes, and negative work environment. Nurses were leaving not only the unit, but the nursing profession. Yet, within the first year of TCAB, it became clear that by giving front-line staff the skills and permission to innovate and make improvements in their work, new energy and passion were building on the unit.
