Professional Contributions of Nursing at Willowbrook Hospital
Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital nurses use the Magnet® Model as a framework for nursing excellence. Through Transformational Leadership, Structural Empowerment, Exemplary Professional Practice, and New Knowledge, Innovation and Improvements, excellent empirical outcomes are achieved. Houston Methodist Willowbrook nursing supports the Houston Methodist vision for unparalleled safety, quality, service and innovation.
Nursing mission: Houston Methodist nursing provides an environment in which excellent nursing practice, interprofessional collaboration, leadership, education and research ensure that patients, families and the community experience compassionate, value-based care through unparalleled safety, quality, service and innovation.
Nursing vision: We lead the world of nursing in an innovative and collaborative environment of excellence in patient care, education and research.
Philosophy of nursing: We believe the cornerstone of the Houston Methodist Professional Practice Model is a triad of:
- Leadership: Building value-driven partnerships with patients, families and the interprofessional team that yield high-quality care.
- Art: Caring for patients and families in a holistic way to meet clinical, psychological, educational and spiritual needs.
- Science: Improving outcomes through evidence-based practices, research, innovation and professional development.
Transformational Leadership
Nurse leaders and nurses at the bedside are transformational leaders who keep nursing goals aligned with the vision and mission of the hospital. They participate in leadership development and mentorship programs, and demonstrate advocacy and support on behalf of staff and patients.
Structural Empowerment of Nursing
Shared Governance — A Model for Nursing Leadership
Nurses at Houston Methodist Willowbrook are empowered to share experience and knowledge by participating in collective decision-making with interprofessional colleagues. Shared Governance is a decision-making model that offers clinicians the means to influence professional practice and the quality of patient care, as well as to build leadership skills. Shared Governance supports the strategic goals of nursing, thus providing better care to our patients and families.
The Shared Governance model allows nurses to independently exercise judgment in the clinical setting, which has been described by nurses as one of the most significant factors affecting job satisfaction and retention.
