The Excela Health nurse regards a patient encounter as an occasion to create
a healing environment in which a patient’s health, comfort, dignity
and well-being are improved through a genuine, caring relationship along
with the use of evidence-based practices. Our nurses strive to make a
positive impact on the patient’s care along with attention to that
patient’s family/loved ones. An Excela Health nurse thinks critically,
solves problems and shares in decision-making while embracing a helping-trusting
relationship with colleagues all for the patient’s benefit. Excela
Health nurses believe that excellence in patient care is achieved when
the value of learning from each other is prized and that upholding a culture
of collegiality and congeniality supports the recruitment and retention
of the best and brightest in order to achieve excellence in patient care.
We Believe:
The patient and family are the center of our professional practice and
actively participate in planning their own care.
That a healthy working environment empowers the nurse to deliver compassionate,
safe, holistic care to the patient in a competent, ethical and caring manner.
Relationship-based care promotes positive human connections while creating
a caring and healing environment.
Professional nursing values an interprofessional, collaborative process
to create a patient- and family-centered environment.
Our nurses are committed to innovative strategies, lifelong learning, and
research to advance clinical nursing.
A Model for Nursing Excellence: Excela Health Shared Governance
Begun in 2011, the Shared Governance program at Excela Health ensures the
use of best practices in the areas of Practice and Transitional Research,
Quality and Safety, Professional Development and Management. Headed by
a Leadership Council to oversee the four councils, they provide nurses
with a voice in decision-making that creates a positive impact on both
patient care and their own work environment. Through these five councils,
more than a dozen committees with members from each Excela Health site
explore issues crucial to nursing, such as professional image,service
excellence and life-long learning.
