The Magnet ® Model : Exemplary Professional Practice
The following eight action items demonstrate exemplary professional practice :
Cultivate an environment of autonomy and accountability
Although evidence-based policy and procedures set expectations for practice and care , exemplary professional practices thrive in an environment of autonomy and accountability . Clinical autonomy allows employees to practice with authority and freedom to make patient care decisions , regardless of setting . For example , following the professional model of care , employees in the operating room are empowered to delay the start of a procedure to perform a timeout procedure and fully assess safety issues .
Use the performance appraisal process
To promote self-regulation , employee performance review can include self-reflection , evaluation , and a clinical narrative , in addition to the manager and peer review .
Involve employees
Include employees in decisions regarding staffing , scheduling , and budgeting . While staffing may be based on client needs , employees can participate in scheduling and provide feedback regarding staffing adequacy .
