Professional Practice Model
What is a Professional Practice Model?
A Professional Practice Model is a schematic that symbolizes our beliefs, values, theories, and systems for nursing practice.
The ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ (SHC) Professional Practice (PPM) represents a framework for nursing excellence and is a unique depiction of all the key components of nursing practice at SHC.
It illustrates how nurses support the organization's mission, vision, and national professional standards of nursing practice.
Symbolizing our patient-centered beliefs and values, the PPM exemplifies nurse autonomy over clinical practice and the practice environment, depicting effective communication between interprofessionals to result in high-quality patient care.
It represents nursing practice across every setting: inpatient, outpatient, and interventional care venues.

Why is it important to have a model?
A Professional Practice Model defines the components of nursing practice in a way that brings significance to our daily work. At SHC, this Professional Practice Model unifies nursing practice throughout the system.
At ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½, the care we provide for our patients and families is guided by the following values (image on left).

Who was involved in the development of this model?
In January 2010, about 60 nurses from across the organization were invited to a model-defining meeting. The best experience of the day was to reawaken our excitement of what it means to be a Stanford nurse. The Coordinating Council, which is comprised of the leadership of all the Shared Governance Councils, served as the approval body for the final model.
