Greetings!
I am Neena Philip, Chief Nursing Officer at NYC Health and Hospital North Central Bronx. I am excited to an- nounce that North Central Bronx is embarking on our Path- ways to Excellence journey. It is a momentous occasion where we are laying the foundations, creating means and ways to transform our nursing culture for excellence. The Pathway to Excellence is a prestigious American Nurses Credentialing Center designation. Our nursing team at eve- ry level and every department will work together to lead the journey and create a vibrant, healthy, and innovative
environment. We are cultivating a culture where our teams love to come to work because they are accountable, engaged, and empowered for better patient and staff outcomes. Studies show that patients receive high - quality and safe care when nurses are empowered, happy, and educated. The tenets of the Pathway to Excellence are Shared decision - making, Leadership, Safety, Quality, Well Being, and Professional Development.
What does it mean when we talk about Shared Decision making? It ’ s where Nurses are involved in nursing policy, practice, and procedure decisions.
Leadership - We cultivate leadership capabilities among our teams to support, mentor, educate, and lead our nurses to excellence.
Quality - Nurses are engaged in evidence - based practice solutions to improve the quality and safety of care.
Safety & Wellbeing - We believe our strength comes from our workforce. We can achieve excellence when we protect the safety and ensure the well - being of our staff. Professional Development - Nurses adopt a quest for lifelong learning through onboarding, certifications, and continued professional and academic education. We will need everyone ’ s active participation in this journey. This takes hard work and not settling in for the status quo. However, we look forward to this journey that will be transformative in the lives of our nurses, our patients, and this organization.
