2/ Assignment- The Nurse Leader as Knowledge WorkerNURS 6051: Transforming Nursing
and Healthcare Through TechnologyAssignment: The Nurse Leader as Knowledge
WorkerThe term “knowledge worker” was first coined by management consultant and
author Peter Drucker in his book, The Landmarks of Tomorrow (1959). Drucker defined
knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge,
acquired through formal training, to develop products and services. Does this sound
familiar? Assignment: The Nurse Leader as Knowledge WorkerNurses are very much
knowledge workers. What has changed since Drucker’s time are the ways that knowledge
can be acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the tools used to access
this data have evolved significantly in recent years and helped healthcare professionals
(among many others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and powerful
ways. In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how
this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will
prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents
information, data, or knowledge. Infographics are intended to present information quickly
and clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge worker. Assignment: The
