Professional Practice Model

Nursing Professional Practice Model at Kishwaukee Hospital and Valley West Hospital

The Interprofessional Relationship-Based Care^® model graphically illustrates the commitment of nurses at Northwestern Medicine.

Northwestern Medicine 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 clinical approaches.

We commit to caring for our communities, our patients and their loved ones, each other and ourselves while holding true to the Northwestern Medicine values of putting patients first, integrity, teamwork and excellence.
