Shared Leadership Councils (SLC) is a collaboration of inter-professionals that come together to empower, define, implement, and maintain evidence-based practice standards and to implement the vision and strategic plan for patient care. 

To achieve this end, the Coordinating Councils provide oversight for organization-wide councils, unit-based councils, and service-line councils in each department/ unit chartered to:

• Ensure patient safety and promote quality service.
• Drive accountability to the level of frontline staff.
• Provide a vehicle for shared  decision-making.
• Engage staff in innovative and collaborative problem-solving and strategy  development.
• Encourage discussion and resolution of clinical or professional operational issues.
