Learn to Develop Effective Systems of Care

Healthcare is growing more complex, dynamic, and challenging — but with these challenges come opportunities for business-savvy healthcare leaders seeking to drive systemic change.

OpusVi™ and Northern Arizona University (NAU)’s online Graduate Certificate in Strategic Systems Leadership teaches learners to develop innovative approaches to implementing change that depart from traditional hierarchies. This brand-new program was created with hospital-based nurse leaders and leverages the strengths of individuals, communities, and systems to help learners face challenges brought on by the pandemic. All credits earned as part of this program can be applied toward OpusVi™ and NAU’s MS in Nursing (Strategic Systems Leadership).

Andrew Malley

Chief Executive Officer, OpusVi

We’re proud to offer a meaningful and substantial nationwide Nurse Residency and Preceptorship program. We can support nurses in the field and continually educate them for better outcomes in the communities that they serve. Equally, we will support health systems in the retention of nurses and create a stronger and better-prepared workforce at scale.

Vicky Buchda MS, RN, NEA-BC

Senior Vice President of Care Improvement, Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association (AzHHA)

Providing support for nurses has never been more imperative, and we’re proud to partner with OpusVi to leverage its Transition to Practice platform to provide competency-based education. The time is now to put systems in place to address the nursing shortage and workforce burnout within our community hospitals, and we’re thrilled that this partnership, with the support of HB 2691 and funding from AHCCCS, will do just that.
