Practice Model
The Mayo Clinic Model of Care (MCMC) is the professional practice model of care chosen for this assignment. The Mayo Clinic drives healthcare change by providing holistic and compassionate care to their patients by using education, research, patient-centered care and evidence-based practice. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the MCMC and how this model of care is a positive influence to healthcare.
A professional practice model (PPM) is implemented in healthcare organizations to foster professional identity, job satisfaction, high quality nursing care, improved patient and family outcomes and communication (Mullen and Asher, 2007). The Mayo Clinic Model of Care is one PPM with a positive and influential reputation for healthcare. The MCMC sets high standards for their healthcare team and provides patients with optimal outcomes. The MCMC embraces two important core elements, patient and environment, to define their model. They sets themselves apart and influence other organizations by being an institute that provides quality patient care with compassion, trust and respect to every patient. They encompass an environment of patience, research and education, quality not quantity, physician leadership and professional staff with expertise and devotion (Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 2002).
The MCMC takes pride in employing professionals of high quality and providing them with an environment of research, learning and development. As healthcare changes, the MCMC adjusts by encouraging their staff to practice evidence-based practice. They do this through the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MCHS PBRN) whose mission is to “solve the problems of health care practice to improve the health and health equity of patients and communities,” (Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 2013). Evidence based practice allows hospitals to provide the most up to date and clinically effective care possible.
