Abstract
Empowerment of the nursing staff was a significant contributing factor to the success of this initiative. Originally ambivalent, the nursing staff did not want to police the attending physicians or contribute to patient dissatisfaction. Hard stops resulted in discharged patients, and several physicians were referred for peer review, but over time compliance with the policy became the norm. Supported by leadership, nurses continue to be a driving force in our evidence-based culture of quality and safety.
