MORE ABOUT SHARED DECISION MAKING

Professional Nurse Council/Shared Decision Making

The nurses at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan value the opportunity to make decisions as they affect practice in their work environments. Nurses shape clinical practice through involvement on unit-based councils as well as hospital-wide committees. The Professional Nurse Council (PNC) provides a medium for staff nurses to examine issues that effect patient care, develop appropriate plans to improve the care, and work as a team to implement identified strategies. A quarterly nurse-physician forum allows for collegial dialogue on issues that affect patient care. The PNC also provides information, insight and recommendations to the hospital administrative and nursing leadership teams. The thirty member PNC has nursing representation from each unit and area within the hospital.
