RELATIONSHIP-BASED CAREGUIDING PRINCIPLES:

Caring and healing practices are found in relationships, communication and the hospital setting. Patients are actively involved in their
care and experience a therapeutic relationship with the caregiver.
Patient care is designed to meet patient and family needs while taking into account the unique needs of each patient. These values are
consistent in practice and include patient advocacy, safety and education.
Teamwork promotes clinical excellence and is rooted in effective communication, accountability and continuity of care and respect for
co-workers.
Caring leaders create an environment in which caring relationships happen. These leaders emerge from all levels of the network
helping to create a shared vision reflecting the mission, vision, and values of St. Joseph’s.
