MUSC Nursing’s Professional Practice Model and Care Delivery System

What is a Professional Practice Model? Professional Practice Model (PPM) - diagram used to demonstrate how: Organizational goals and values relate to each other. Professional Nursing plans, delivers, and evaluates patient care. The organization evaluates the results for the patient. Professional relationships impact interdisciplinary care. Defines nursing as a profession rather than a task-based job.

What is a Care Delivery System (CDS)? The Care Delivery System describes our approach to delivering patient care by: Detailing assignments, responsibilities and authority to accomplish patient care; Determining who is going to perform what tasks, who is responsible, and who makes decisions. Matching numbers and type of caregivers to patient care needs. Provides structure that: Allows the nurse to function as a professional and a colleague Supports the organization and effective use of resources.

Relationship Based Care Nurse-Patient Nurse-Self Nurse-Team Designed to strengthen or transform three critical relationships to achieve quality, financial, and organizational outcomes

What does all this mean in your work area? Each unit provides patient care a little differently.

Collaboration MUSC Nurses function as an equal member of a caring team that creates a healing environment and fosters trust between, clinicians, patients and the community. Collaboration is demonstrated by a nurse’s relationship to a patient and relationship to other members of the healthcare team A key nursing value we identified
