Many of the best practices adopted by Penn hospitals are designed and implemented by the nursing staff. This shared governance allows nurses to assume full accountability for their practice, empowering them to initiate changes to improve the quality of patient care. The collaborative relationships nurses have with the physicians and entire care team creates a culture of excellence for patients, their families and the community to which they serve.
