Professional Practice Model

Achieving World-Class Outcomes at Good Samaritan

A Professional Practice Model (PPM) provides a framework for enabling nurses to articulate their unique contributions to healthcare. The model provides graphic depictions of nursing at any given institution. Good Samaritan’s Nursing Professional Practice Model evolved through a collaborative effort between staff nurses, managers, directors, and advanced practice nurses. The goal of the Professional Practice Model is to display the model of care all Good Samaritan caregivers provide to ensure our patients achieve world-class outcomes.

Our PPM encompasses all members of the healthcare team working together to form Collaborative Relationships with staff, patients, and their families to provide Compassion Driven care, that is Evidence Based to improved outcomes of our patients. Staff are Professional Empowered through professional development and shared governance. Through all of this, members of Good Samaritan healthcare team are Exemplary in Practice, as shown by quality nursing and patient outcomes, nurse satisfaction, and patient experience.
