Nursing Leadership
The mission of Rhode Island Hospital nursing leadership is to provide
a model of caring that demonstrates cooperative involvement, communication,
and commitment to the needs of patients and families. Nursing leadership
assumes accountability and responsibility for supporting the delivery
of excellent care. The rights of patients are guaranteed by providing
a professional nursing staff to assess their physical and emotional
needs with skill and compassion.
Our vision is for a proactive
nursing leadership structure that participates in all aspects of the care
delivery system. The Nursing Leadership philosophy creates and supports an
environment that provides competent, culturally responsive, patient/family
focused care.
Our belief is that this philosophy
can be operationalized through:
- Responsive organizational structure
- Participative management principles
- Open, consistent and respectful communication
- Empowered decision making at each level of practice
- A nursing practice model that embraces research and publication
- Multidisciplinary team building and collaboration
