Professional Practice Model

The patient care delivery system at the Medical Center is an integrated, patient- and family-centered model in which caregivers and resources are organized according to patient needs. The system uses a multi-skilled, interdisciplinary approach that enhances continuity and coordination of patient care along the health care continuum. Managers and department directors ensure that appropriate utilization of resources, cost effective quality care and desired clinical outcomes are achieved in a timely manner.
