In a flat structure, decision-making is often more decentralized. This means that decision-making power is distributed among multiple levels, allowing nurses to have a more significant role in clinical decisions. This can lead to: - Faster Decision-Making: Critical decisions can be made more quickly without waiting for approval from multiple levels of management. - Improved Patient Outcomes: Nurses who are closer to the patients can make more informed decisions, potentially improving patient outcomes. - Empowerment: Nurses feel more empowered and valued, which can improve morale and reduce burnout.
