Professional Practice Model

The Nursing Professional Practice Model, refined in 2015, provides the conceptual framework for nursing at Mercy:

• The center of our focus is engaging people to achieve their highest level of health, guided by the principles outlined in the Mercy Model of Caring.
• In providing patient-centered care, we assume individual and organizational accountability to meet or exceed standards of care and behavior.
• We are supported by a strong infrastructure and a commitment to nursing excellence and nursing well-being.
• Nursing exists at Mercy to fulfill the mission, values and strategies of the organization as a whole.
