Aultman’s Nursing Professional Practice Model is eclectic by nature and embraces the theoretical concepts of Dorothea Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory, Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring and Patricia Benner’s Novice to Expert Theory. Core to this multifaceted model is the conviction to provide exceptional quality patient care to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological and social needs of each patient.
This commitment is further engrained in the Nursing Philosophy as reflected by the Mission and Values Statements of the organization.
Nursing at Aultman is philosophically committed to initiate and participate in nursing research. This research is then woven into a strong evidence-based foundation to support an environment that can significantly impact quality at the bedside. Participation and collaboration are both encouraged and supported by the organization and it is within this environment that nurses can practice autonomously and competently.
