Abstract
The LORETTA FORD Framework for advanced practice nurse (APN)–led clinical practice management honors the pioneering legacy of Dr. Loretta Ford while providing a contemporary guide for APNs in practice management leadership roles. The framework outlines 11 leadership traits—Leadership Proficiency, Operational Intelligence, Relationship Building, Evidence Integration, Team Development, Transformational Thinking, Advocacy Excellence, Fiscal Stewardship, Outcomes Focus, Resilience, Decision-making Expertise—aligning with 11 comprehensive building blocks for successful clinical practice management. This integrated approach equips APNs with the traits and competencies needed to navigate complex health care environments while addressing the evolving challenges of modern health care systems.
