Professional Practice Model

Nursing Professional Practice Model at Kishwaukee Hospital and Valley West Hospital

The Northwestern Medicine Interprofessional Relationship Based Care^TM model graphically illustrates the commitment of NM nursing.

NM nurses create a caring and healing experience through interprofessional collaboration, a commitment to quality and safety, and the use of the most current and innovative approaches available.

We commit to caring for our communities, our patients and their loved ones, each other, and ourselves while holding true to the NM values of Patient’s First, Integrity, Teamwork and Excellence.
