Professional Practice Model
Stony Brook Medicine’s nursing practice relies on the professionalism of the care delivery team to improve patient outcomes. This is essential to the philosphy of Stony Brook Nursing. SBM’s Professional Practice Model reflects the “guiding star” that nursing staff play in their role with patients, family, inter-professional teams, community, nursing colleagues and for oneself. The PPM incorporates:
Nurse Theorist and Theory: Jean Watson’s Caring Theory
Care Delivery Model: Compassionate Connected Care Model
Also incorporated on the PPM are: SB Mission - Nursing’s Vision - iCare Values - Nursing Philosophy - Hospital Strategic Vectors - Nursing Foundational Enablers
Shared Governance
Shared governance is a professional practice structure founded on the principles of: Partnership, Equity, Accountability, and Ownership. Shared Governance is about shared decision making with evidence-based decisions as the focus. All members of the division of nursing are invited to join a council or committee.
