Develop this from your reading and the organization’s definition. In other words, modify it as you would like to see it developed into the framework and organizational structure of the facility by specifically identifying your redefinition and explaining why you feel the definition of the concept should be modified.

How this concept supports your professional practice model. Be sure to specifically identify by name your facility’s professional practice model (Hospital name is BAY MEDICAL CENTER) or provide a framework that would represent the philosophy of nursing within your facility.
