Washington Health Professional Practice Model

The Washington Health Professional Practice Model (PPM) embodies our commitment to patient-centered care. Built upon five pillars—Evidence-Based Practice, Professional Practice, Interprofessional Relationships, Advocacy, and Patient/Family—the PPM aligns with our Mission, Values, and Patient First Ethic.

• Evidence-Based Practice: We utilize research to inform and improve patient care.
• Professional Practice: We adhere to legal and ethical standards, upholding the ANA Code of Ethics.
• Interprofessional Relationships: We collaborate as a team to ensure comprehensive patient care.
• Advocacy: We champion patient autonomy, beliefs, and needs.
• Patient/Family: We prioritize the patient and family in all aspects of care, reflecting principles of Marie Manthey’s Relationship-Based Care.

This model defines our nursing culture and drives positive impacts on patient safety, quality, satisfaction, and staff experience.
