Introduction to the Guiding Principles

Excellent working relationships between nurses and physicians are key to creating a productive, safe, and satisfying practice environment.  The patient and the patient’s family benefit from care delivered by a team practicing within this environment.

Senior leadership in healthcare organizations must support the development of excellent relationships and, more importantly, create an environment that sustains and nurtures these critical relationships.
