Philosophy of Nursing
Nursing at Baxter Health commits to promote the health and wellness of
the individuals in the community we serve. To that end, nursing is on
a Journey to Excellence and welcomes the challenge to improve nursing
care and treatment, exceed the patient's service expectations, and produce
outstanding nursing clinical outcomes related to national benchmarks.
Nursing at Baxter Health is built upon sound nursing theory and research.
The Nursing Model depicts the integration of our nursing Theory of Caring
and our commitment to practice. Baxter Health nursing leverages the primary
care delivery system to ensure our practice is autonomous, collaborative,
interprofessional, and relationship - based with our focus on Patient/Family
Centered Care. All decisions, plans, and approaches solicit the voice
of our key customer – the patient. When making changes, we take
into account the preference and impact of care on the patient first, with
the impact on staff and physicians as important partners. Through the
lens of the patient’s well-being, safety, and choice we determine
what, how, when, and why we do what we do.
Nursing at Baxter Health strives to innovate and breakthrough barriers
that prevent or compromise best practices. Nurses commit to team work,
trust building and trustworthiness, and a forward thinking search for
and discovery of yet unknown possibilities of best practice. Our greatest
imperative is to serve.
