Clinical Advancement in Practice Synergy

In addition to education we strongly believe that the needs of our patients and families influence and drive the competencies of all clinical nurses.  Therefore, as part of the philosophy of Clinical Advancement in Practice Synergy (CAPS) model in place at Rush-Copley, we believe:

  • the patient is the center of our universe and that each nurse is directly accountable and responsible for the Quality of nursing care delivered.
  • the practice of nursing requires a commitment to continued professional growth throughout orientation, monthly continued education opportunities and formal education.
  • professional nurses must accept accountability for the quality and intensity of care provided, as well as the ethical, legal and regulatory responsibilities involved in their practice.
  • it is the responsibility of the nursing staff to utilize all the human and material resources provided in order to deliver the best possible care in the best possible manner.
  • the value of shared decision making and a working environment that is supportive to the professional, emotional, spiritual and social growth of our employees.
