Culture

We Believe In Better

Our mission to improve health and inspire well-being in the communities we serve is achieved, in part, by exceeding the expectations of our patients, families and guests. The Parkview Standards of Behavior guide us in providing excellence, innovation and value our patients seek in terms of convenience, compassion, service, cost and quality.

We know that an environment of excellence is the best place for co-workers to work, physicians to practice medicine and patients to receive care.

Clinical, operational and service excellence is important to Parkview’s success, and our success enables us to continue with our mission in the community.

Adherence to these standards is reflected in co-worker performance evaluations and merit increases.

Nursing

Choose Parkview. This is why you chose healthcare.

Guided by our mission to improve the health of our communities, Parkview Health nurse leaders and co-workers have charted a course for nursing excellence and professional growth. Parkview nurses provide excellent care to every patient, every day.

Nurses working in complex healthcare environments are challenged to maintain clinical expertise and skills that lead to clinical excellence in the midst of changes in technology, government regulations and economic conditions. Parkview supports nursing professionals with the best clinical tools and current medical information.

To help enhance clinical excellence, Parkview nurses can draw on these resources:

• At Parkview, the Nursing Professional Practice Model provides the structure and process for staff nurses and nursing leaders to share in decision-making, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration on the delivery of nursing practice. This model also promotes a high degree of adaptability, teamwork and professionalism.
• Mosby’s Nursing Consult, an online resource that is accessed at the bedside, provides evidence-based nursing monographs, patient education handouts, the latest drug information, full-text journal articles, expert discussions from nursing and medical reference books and clinical updates.
• The Parkview Nurse is an annual publication documenting experiences of the registered professional nurses at Parkview. Sharing this information is intended to both inspire and inform nurses in their efforts regarding service enhancement and professional development.
• Parkview supports healthcare education in a variety of ways and has partnerships with the nursing departments at these universities: IPFW, The University of Saint Francis and Indiana Wesleyan University.
