4 PROFESSIONAL NURSING PRACTICE AT SAINT JOSEPH HOSPITAL The professional nursing practice model at Saint Joseph Hospital is known as ENGAGE (Empowered Nurses Get Active in Growth and Excellence). The model provides a foundational structure for all nurses in which to enhance professional growth, guiding practice in collaboration with others. The model is based on four components of professional practice: operational aspects of efficiency and effectiveness, worklife environment, clinical practice and education, and performance improvement. These areas constitute the major focus of the four councils based upon Timothy Porter-O Grady s work in shared governance. The councils are interdependent, receiving guidance from the Nursing Coordinating Council. Involvement also translates into committee work within the patient care unit, expanding the depth of decision-making to even higher levels. Promoting staff involvement in addressing issues relevant to professional practice, the councils sustain the belief that those closest to the issues must be the ones to recommend and institute solutions. Thus, the bi-directional flow of communications and problem-solving allows for issues to be raised along a continuum of narrow to broader focus. The degree of engagement is dependent on the scope of the issue, from unit specific to nursing department wide. The rewards of governing practice through the ENGAGE model provide for a rich work environtment with a myriad of opportunities for professional enhancement. As nurses, we have a responsibility to meet the needs of our patients and families and the community we serve. At Saint Joseph Hospital, we have renewed our commitment to excellence by establishing our professional practice model: ENGAGE. This booklet is intended to be informative, enlightening and inspirational so that you will become ENGAGED in your practice of professional nursing at Saint Joseph Hospital! 4
