-Clinical excellence
-Innovations in
professional practice
Thank you for the meaningful work you performed in FY12.
You showed caring by actively participating in many efforts to improve our patients’ experience.
From learning the Language of Caring to adopting best practices related to patient and family centered
care, you made our patients feel cared for – a foundational principle of a nurse’s practice. You worked
with fellow nurse colleagues and with physicians, leaders and staff to take care of each other, which
allowed us to provide the best possible care to our patients.

You also demonstrated your integrity. You continued to support and participate in the shared
governance processes that advance our institutional nursing practice. You were truthful and
transparent in your actions and conversations with patients, family members and colleagues. You
adopted bedside shift reporting with enthusiasm and improved our handoff communications to ensure
the delivery of safe, quality care. We had the pleasure of observing your reliability in action through
our rounding efforts. In FY12, you rounded on your patients more frequently, and nursing leaders
rounded on you and your patients. This allowed an open flow of information and through that, we
were able to recognize your exceptional work through acknowledgment of countless individuals.
Finally, you embraced discovery. Through the Evidence-Based Practice and Research Programs,
which celebrated its fifth year in FY12, we witnessed the development of 53 projects with
measurable outcomes and were proud when 72 abstracts were accepted at local and national
conferences such as the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS), The American Organization of Nurse
Executives (AONE), American Nurse Credentialing Center (ANCC), American Society of Bone
Marrow Transplant (ASBMT) and many others. This allowed others in our field to recognize the
breadth of the nurses’ role in patient care, research, education and prevention at MD Anderson.
In addition, all our nurses discovered their own ability to advance their practice. Many of you began
the rewarding road toward achieving the Clinical Nurse Advancement Program (CNAP) levels of
progression. In FY12, a total of 41 nurses achieved proficient, which is the highest required level
in the program. Also in FY12, we had 55 nurses enrolled in a doctoral program, with 32 pursuing
a Ph.D. (research expertise) and 23 pursuing a D.N.P. — doctorate in nursing practice (applied
leadership/clinical expertise). Our Nursing Academic Cohort Program supported 567 students
in pursuit of formal academic advancements; we supported 198 new graduates RNs in residency
classes; and our Nursing Workforce Development Program provided academic students with
1,094 academic clinical placements.
You lived our Core Values in FY12, as you do every year. As you will see in this report, we are better
defining our professional practice model for FY13 and beyond to reflect the work you already perform
within the context of our institutional Core Values.
Our professional practice model is designed to resonate with all nurses at MD Anderson. You will
see that it is based upon the principles of relationship-based caring, clearly defines our eight caring
factors, and identifies five key components of our practice.
We invite you now to take time to read about the revised model, complete with examples of how
you already live this model through extraordinary practice day-to-day.

Nursing Professional Practice Model
The organizational framework of the FY12 Nursing
Annual Report reflects the re-designed MD Anderson
Nursing Professional Practice Model (PPM), a major
initiative for the year.
MD Anderson
Nursing Professional Practice Model
Professional Action Coordinating Team
(PACT)
Each section of this report defines and explains key components
of the PPM and shares the stories of how nursing colleagues
across the organization relate the PPM to their practice and to the
major initiatives of the Division of Nursing.
Molding our practice
Because nursing uses and refers to a number of models in practice and in the
literature, “model confusion” can be common. Professional practice models,
care delivery models and shared governance models are not the same, but these
terms sometimes are used interchangeably, erroneously.
To clarify, a PPM is a visual that schematically describes how nurses in a
particular organization practice, collaborate, communicate and grow professionally
(ANCC, Magnet Manual, 2008). The focus of a PPM includes structures, processes,
and the philosophical background or values that support and guide how nurses
perform their work. It is specific to the organization and context driven; what
represents nursing in one organization does not necessarily apply to another.
A PPM helps give structure to nursing practice, defines how care is delivered
and describes professional values and the practice environment. It clarifies
expectations, accountability, and authority for practice and connects the dots
between goals and initiatives, helping us move together in the same direction.
The literature describes five essential components of a PPM
(Hoffart & Woods, 1996):
•Professional values:
shared beliefs about what is good or desirable practice
•Professional relationships:
approaches such as teamwork and collaboration that help define how
individuals work together to achieve outcomes
•Patient care delivery:
structures that focus on how the work of nursing occurs and processes by
which patient care responsibilities are assigned and work is coordinated among
staff (Shirey, 2008; Hoffart & Woods, 1996)
•Shared governance:
the decision-making framework of nurses that affects accountability and
autonomy for practice (Porter-O’Grady, 2003)
•Professional recognition:

how an organization acknowledges professional achievements, addresses
educational needs, provides career advancement programs, and engages
nurses in evidence-based practice and research
Required reading
It is important that nurses understand
how their practice fits within a PPM,
especially in Magnet-designated
hospitals. Although we had a PPM
with the essential components in
place, the PPM was not something
nurses easily recognized or related to.
From January to March 2012, the PACT met weekly.
All the members read Quality Caring in Nursing: Applying
Theory to Clinical Practice, Education, and Leadership by
Joanne R. Duffy, Ph.D. This was the theoretical framework
chosen to support our model. Over a series of meetings,
participants developed, shared, and discussed written
reports on each chapter. The team spent several weeks
reviewing existing components of our professional
practice that members wished to incorporate in the
re-designed PPM.
The re-birth of our model
Drawing on our shared governance
model, Dr. Summers presented
the issue to the Nursing
Practice Congress and asked
that a Professional Action
Coordinating Team (PACT)
be formed to explore a re-design
of our PPM. Thirteen nurses
volunteered in response to the
PACT call-out for members
and were charged with
updating and revising the
MD Anderson Nursing
Professional Practice Model.
Two directors in the Division
of Nursing facilitated the group.

Putting it on paper
The group was divided into two smaller groups. Armed
with flip charts, sticky notes and markers, they drew
pictures of how the model and the components should
look at MD Anderson. When both groups were pulled
back together, they found a number of similarities and
worked together to ensure the final model included
elements from both drawings. Model drafts were
shared with nursing leadership and Dr. Duffy during
an on-site consultation, and the design was finalized.
A communication, education, and implementation plan
officially kicked off in February 2013.

Quality-Caring Model
©
The Quality-Caring Model©, which was developed
by Joanne Duffy, Ph.D., serves as the theoretical
framework for our professional practice model.
About The
Quality-Caring
Model©
at
MD Anderson
Dr. Duffy’s Quality-Caring Model© is a
mid-level theory of nursing. This model
informs and guides the practice of
professional nursing at MD Anderson.
According to Duffy (2009), caring professional
practice requires:
1.Knowledge of the caring factors and
relationships among, patients and caregivers,
the health care team and the community;
2.Skills, which can be both behaviors and
competencies;
3.Intentions, which are the attitudes and beliefs
that lead to choices; and
This nursing theory guides the practice
of professional nursing at MD Anderson.
4
4.Time, with a primary focus on relationships;
this involves the integration of “being”
and “doing.”
The role of the nurse in this model is to
engage in caring relationships that lead to
feeling “cared for.” The caring relationships
include caring for self, caring for patients and
caregivers, and caring for community. Feeling
“cared for” assists patients and caregivers in
improving short- and long-term outcomes,
including those that are nurse-sensitive.
The relationships described and the parties
involved in those relationships are found in
the center of the PPM.
The eight caring factors
Our Quality-Caring Model© has eight caring
factors. Each factor independently explains the
concept of caring. It is within these factors that
relationships are developed by the professional
nurse. The eight factors are:
• Mutual problem solving describes nursing
behaviors that help patients and caregivers understand how to confront, learn and think about their
health and illness. This gives patients information
they need to be better partners in decisionmaking regarding their care and treatment.
• Attentive reassurance refers to availability and
hopeful outlook. Patients learn that they can rely
on the nurse, and they feel a sense of security.
This requires conscious effort on the part of the
nurse to concentrate fully on the patient at that
moment.
• Human respect refers to honoring the worth
of humans through unconditional acceptance,
kind and careful handling of the human body, and
recognition of rights and responsibilities.
• Encouraging manner displays caring through
the demeanor or attitude of the nurse. Messages
of support, positive thoughts and feelings, and
openness to the feelings of others are what make
patients feel cared for in this factor.
• Appreciation of unique meanings refers to
knowing what is important to patients, including
distinctive sociocultural connections associated
with their experiences. Nurses use those
features that are important to them in the
provision of care.
• Healing environment refers to the setting
where care is taking place. This environment is
focused on holistic care and strives to maintain
patient privacy, safety and control.
• Basic human needs refers to those needs
identified by Maslow – physical needs, safety
and security needs, social and relational needs,
self-esteem, and self-actualization.
• Affiliation needs refer to needs for belonging and membership in families or other social
contexts. This factor focuses on the importance
of families and other caregivers to the health and
well-being of patients in the hospital.
The Quality-Caring Model© provides a framework
for nursing that resonates with professional nurses
and is readily applicable in their daily practice.

Quality-Caring Model©
Nancy Gilbert, outpatient clinical nurse,
Lymphoma/Myeloma Center
“Dr. Duffy states that nurses need to ‘integrate
being with doing.’ In our outpatient clinics, we
have to move at a rapid pace to keep the clinic
flowing and minimize patient wait times. Many
interactions with our patients occur over the
telephone and email. Even though our time may
be limited, we need to be present in the moment
with the patient and family. The tone of our voice,
the words we choose, and our body language all
send a message to our patients. As a nurse,
I focus my efforts on being present and limit
distractions so I can attend to each patient in a
respectful, caring manner”.
“
Susan Ferguson, clinical administrative director, Nellie B. Connally Breast Center
“I had the privilege of participating in the PACT that re-designed our PPM. Dr. Duffy’s theoretical framework
guided the development of a model that fits nursing across all settings, creating a common focus and language
for the nursing force at MD Anderson. The Quality-Caring Model© will help sustain our momentum in providing
quality outcomes and promotes the value of nursing in our organization.”
Patient Care Delivery System
Primary Team Nursing (PTN) is the patient care delivery system nurses use
to guide how patient care is delivered at MD Anderson.
Principles of primary team nursing include: safe and
effective care, synergy of patient needs and nursing expertise,
nursing team satisfaction and vitality, team-based professional
practice development, interdisciplinary/interprofessional collaboration,
and continuity of care providers/care coordination.
These principles are applicable in all patient care settings.
Carla Willis, associate director, Nursing Education
“I am excited about our new Nursing Professional Practice Model. It is simple and easy to understand and yet it
embodies all the most important aspects, qualities, and values that I believe, as a nurse at MD Anderson, describe
what we do in our quest to provide the best quality care and service for our patients. It visually describes what
most of us went into nursing to do.”
Cicely Scarlett, nurse manager, Bay Area Regional Care Center
“As health care continues to evolve, it is imperative that nurses, while spending much of their time involved in
non-direct patient care, come full circle and re-establish activities that makes our patients feel ‘cared for.’”
Roxy Blackburn, associate director, clinical nursing, Nursing G18
“The concept in Duffy’s Quality-Caring Model© that resonates with me revolves around caring for self. The idea
that professional nurses must acknowledge and allow themselves to feel the meaning of their experiences with
patients has profound implications when caring for others. Engaging in reflective analysis through increased
self-awareness and soliciting formal feedback from colleagues help nurses know and value the self – a prerequisite
for caring interactions. The statement that describes caring as an intentional process that requires self-awareness,
choice, specific knowledge and time captures what it means to be a nurse.”
Elissa Venable, clinical nurse, Nursing P9

“The Quality-Caring Model© is the framework for what I base my nursing practice on. It applies to all aspects of
my practice: how I interact with my patients and anyone else involved in his or her care. It helps to refocus my
attention from accomplishing tasks during my shift to making sure the patient’s needs are addressed. This makes
them feel cared for, increasing their trust in our prescribed interventions and compliance with those interventions,
the end goal of which is improving patient outcomes. As inpatient nurses, we have the most consistent and
prolonged contact with the patient, which makes this crucial while patients are admitted. The aspects of the
model that most resonated with me, as a new graduate and nurse, are the relationships between the nursing
leadership and nursing staff and how much they shape what kind of nurse we will become.”

Primary Team Nursing:
Leading change for the future
Primary Team Nursing is the patient care delivery system used by nursing at MD Anderson.
We formally adopted this system of care in September 2012 with the implementation of
four inpatient demonstration units. Development of PTN has been a multi-year process
begun in response to a number of driving forces converging on and shaping the future
of health care delivery. Some practices that served nursing and hospital-based care well
in the past will not add value in the changing health care environment. It was clear to
Dr. Summers and her senior nursing leaders that transformation of nursing care delivery
would be necessary to assure patients continue to receive quality nursing care.
Primary Team Nursing Model
Professional
Nurses & CNLs
A perfect storm
From our hospital to our centers
Driving forces for PTN include increasing acuity
and complexity of patients cared for in the inpatient
setting, and fragmentation of patient care delivery in
the context of multidisciplinary care, affecting the
“connecting work” of nurses. As fewer nurses opt
to become clinical nurse specialists and shift toward
nurse practitioner roles, hospitals lose valuable
clinical nursing coaching and development roles to
support nurses at the bedside. The aging nursing
workforce and those in the Baby Boom generation
are beginning to retire, resulting in the loss of clinical
wisdom and greater reliance on new graduates.
These losses will fuel the nursing shortage at a
time when salaries are increasing, yet resources are
diminishing. Compressed work schedules, although
appealing to many nurses, result in less continuity of
care and increasing numbers of hand-offs.
Although PTN is operationalized as described
previously in the inpatient areas, the principles of
primary team nursing can be applied to nursing
practice in all settings and areas where nurses
practice at MD Anderson. Each ambulatory nurse
functions as a part of the patient’s care team. The
nurse works daily with the physician, mid-level
provider, and patient services coordinator to
coordinate the care of the patient. The registered
nurse is a vital part of this team, providing
assessment, education, and support during each of
those steps. Based on the plan of care, the nurse will
spend time educating the patient about treatment
regimens, teaching side effects management, and
answering questions. The continuity that the
RN provides to the patients allows her or him to
notice subtle changes that could impact the life of
a patient. This same continuity increases trust and
communication between the team members
because of the experience of working together,
which in turn improves patient care by providing
consistent information, assessment and follow up.
Patients want a point person for their questions and
concerns. The nurse serves as the point person for
patients and is able to answer questions about their
care. The coordinated efforts of the nurse, in
conjunction with the team members, promote an
optimal patient care experience.
These driving forces actually pose opportunities for
nursing leaders to re-think traditional models and
frameworks, and look to alternative systems and
roles with the potential to use resources creatively
to assure that quality care continues to be delivered
in a fiscally responsible way. Primary Team Nursing
combines selected aspects of primary nursing and
team nursing, with the integration of a new role, the
Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL), as the leader of the
primary team.
A new role for nurses
Our patient care delivery system is designed to
sustain a group practice culture of nursing care
in which members of each primary nursing team,
led by a CNL, are collectively responsible and
accountable for outcomes of care to patients in the
group practice. Primary teams are delineated by
geography of inpatient units, with each practice
team consistently assigned and focused on a
“pod” of patient rooms.

Nurses also provide positive feedback regarding
being part of a team in ambulatory care, both in their
individual teams as well as in the nursing team as a
whole. They enjoy the professional relationships that
develop from working together for many years and
state that this makes working in an ambulatory
setting much more desirable, because they are
appreciated and respected. The nurses also enjoy
getting to know their patients and their families
during their time at MD Anderson; they are able
to be a part of their patients’ lives and share the
patients’ journeys.
“The teams are really evolving. There is more communication
among team members; the team has taken steps to become
really effective and high functioning. Daily briefings give us the
opportunity to have team discussions and problem-solve
issues immediately.”
Darci Blackmon, clinical nurse leader, Nursing G10
“Being a clinical nurse leader has made me more connected. When I was a bedside nurse,
my goal was to take care of a set of patients each day. I did not have time to figure out the
behind-the-scenes workings of supplies and finances – you know the thermometer is on the
wall but you may not know how it got there. Now I have gotten exposure to so many of the
departments that affect patient care. Moreover, that helps when you are trying to understand
a process or recommend a change.”
Clinical Nurse Leaders are nurses who want to continue being nurses at the point of care.
In the past, a nurse had two options for advancing; get a master’s degree and become an
administrator, or get a master’s degree and become an advanced practice nurse. Both
mean leaving behind the day-to-day direct care of patients.
Now there is a third option: get a master’s degree and use it to improve patient care
outcomes at the unit level. By leading and overseeing a “practice team” of nurses and care
partners, the CNL brings evidence-based quality improvement to the bedside. The Primary
Team Nursing model puts nurses back at the helm in driving positive patient outcomes.

Bedside generalist: Clinical Nurse Leader
The role of clinical nurse leader is integral to our patient care delivery system.
Rapid change and increasing complexity have driven health care leaders to re-evaluate
how care is delivered and what changes need to be made to facilitate safe, effective
care delivery. Nursing’s response has been multi-faceted and has included efforts by
key professional nursing organizations including The American Organization of Nurse
Executives (AONE) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN)
(Haase-Herrick & Herrin, 2007;Tornabeni, Stanhope et al., 2006). In 2004, AONE
joined with AACN, and through that work, the vision of the CNL role evolved and the
task force published the AACN White Paper on the Education and Role of the Clinical
Nurse Leader (AACN 2007).
Professional Values
The role of the CNL as developed at MD Anderson is true to the initial intent of the
white paper. Others have implemented the role across the country, but with variation.
Who is a CNL?
A CNL is a master’s prepared generalist who delivers and
manages care at the bedside to patients and families at the
microsystem level. Through coordination and teamwork,
the CNL leads the clinical team in the provision of safe,
effective care to a cohort of patients, using evidence-based
practice to improve and sustain quality outcomes. The CNL
provides a structured leadership role at the bedside that
strengthens nursing leadership at the point at which care is
delivered while also focusing on patient outcomes
(Monaghan & Swihart, 2010; AACN, 2007). The role is
integral to Primary Team Nursing and provides a context
for practice, and a framework in which the CNL influences
improvements in clinical, financial, and human resource
outcomes. The CNL is focused on improving patient
outcomes, fostering continuity of care and care
coordination, collaboration with interprofessional and
interdisciplinary colleagues, accessing and using clinical
care resources effectively, and practicing patient and family
relationship-centered care. To achieve these functions, the
CNL works to develop the professional practice of the
nursing team; promotes teamwork, practice satisfaction,
and vitality; serves as a consistent point of contact for the
health care team, patients, and families; evaluates and
implements evidence-based practice; and uses quality
improvement strategies to affect improved outcomes.
Interested candidates went through a competitive
application process to be selected for the CNL program.
The first cohort of 12 graduated in December 2012, and
the second cohort of 10 CNLs will graduate in December
2013 and May 2014. MD Anderson partnered with Texas
Woman’s University, Houston, and The University of
Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, to develop graduate
programs for the CNL. There are currently students
enrolled in both programs.
The PTN model will be implemented on new units
annually as CNL students complete their programs.
The goal is to implement PTN and the CNL role
throughout the inpatient units over the next three years.

Autonomy, accountability and excellence in practice
are the professional practice values
of nurses at MD Anderson.
“As a clinical nurse leader, I enjoy being out on the unit with the
nursing team and being there for the patients. It gives me the
opportunity to provide reliability to nurses and the patients,
because I can see the big picture, thus increasing patient safety.
10
“I believe the continuity of care has improved with the implementation of the PTN model. Being on the unit five days a week allows
the clinical nurse leaders to share important patient information
with nurses who have been off for a few days.”

Rounding strategies
Rounding is an integral part of the strategic and quality plan for
nursing at MD Anderson. Rounds are conducted by nurses at all
levels of the organization to enhance visibility and communication
with both patients and clinical staff. Multiple rounding strategies
and formats are used to reach all of the constituent groups and
meet the assigned purpose of the rounds.
“Rounding is just as much for the staff as it is for the patient,” says
Hyacinth Gordon, director of Clinical Nursing. “Staff need to know
when they’re appreciated by their leaders and our patients. This
motivates them to focus on providing the best possible care.”
Inpatient nurse leaders are
re-implementing rounding
as a formal process, in
part, to share positive
feedback with employees.
EB-RUN Best Practice Program
The Evidence-Based Practice program provides
nursing staff at all levels the guiding principles
for developing excellence in nursing practice,
based on the most current and best evidence.
The program’s first initiative was the development
of the Evidence-Based Resource Unit Nurse
(EB-RUN) program. The EB-RUN program educates
a minimum of two nurses a year per unit on the
principles of research and evidence-based practice.
The program develops unit-specific nurse champions
who lead the development of unit-specific evidencebased practice projects. Unit-based projects are
developed and presented at an annual poster
presentation during Nurses’ Week. Over the years,
projects have grown in depth and breath, becoming
more sophisticated and leading to multiple changes
in practice in the organization and report of these
changes to external audiences.
Through the program, we now offer an abstract
preparation class at least once a month to teach
nurses about the avenues of external presentation.
The class provides nurses with the information and
tools they need to prepare and submit an abstract of
their work to a professional organization. In addition,
members of the program review the abstracts of
all nurses who are presenting externally to provide
constructive feedback to nurses who are developing
abstracts for external review and consideration.
The abstracts are submitted electronically via a link
on the Nursing and Evidence-Based Practice site.
This programmatic feature has provided feedback
and mentorship for many nurses across the
institution, and allows the institution a chance to
annually review approximately 200 abstracts
submitted by MD Anderson nurses.
12
Gordon says this strategy
pays off by improving
morale and promoting
teamwork among nursing
staff. “We make an extra
effort to recognize
employees when patients
mention them by name,”
she says. “Appreciation of
each other is one of many
ways we can encourage
positive outcomes for our
patients.”
Evidence-Based Resource Unit Nurse
(EB-RUN) Project: caregiver support
As a result of the EB-RUN Program, nurses have the
opportunity to improve patient and patient caregiver
outcomes. The EB-RUN Caregiver Support Project was
aimed at developing measures to assist caregivers and
reflects the autonomy and excellence in practice that
MD Anderson nurses value.
The melanoma-sarcoma medical unit (P10) completed an
evidence-based practice project about caregiver burden and
strain. As the patients’ caregivers observe and go through
the different phases of cancer treatment – from diagnosis to
survivorship – with their loved ones, they experience many
changes in their lives. These changes include psychosocial
challenges, financial concerns, emotional highs and lows,
and physical and spiritual issues that they face with their
loved ones.
After conducting a literature review, the project team
identified valid and reliable assessment tools to assess
caregiver burden and strain. The team compared several
tools and selected two that best captured the burden and
strain of oncology patients’ caregivers’ experiences.
The nurses distributed the Caregiver Quality of Life
Index-Cancer (CQOLC) and the Caregiver Demand Scale
(CDS) to 54 caregivers who were chosen to participate
based on established criteria. Each participating caregiver
was asked to provide answers to a short demographic
questionnaire and indicate which of the tools best addressed
the issues that they experienced as a caregiver. The CDS
was the preferred tool among survey participants.
The project helped underscore that nurses are critical
to facilitating and supporting caregivers’ coping
mechanisms. The team’s future steps include using
a caregiver assessment at specified intervals and
implementation of interventions focused on decreasing
caregiver burden and strain.
We base our rounding
models on “Rounding for
Outcomes,” as outlined by Quint Studer in the book, Hardwiring
Excellence. Rounds are also an important strategy in developing
the relationships required with the patient, family, nursing team
members and other groups in Dr. Duffy’s Quality-Caring Model©.
These relationships are necessary to create a sense of trust,
transparency and commitment that make all feel “cared for.”
Quality rounds
Nursing Quality Rounds formally began in August 2012 on each
of the inpatient units. At the first meeting, led by the director of
Nursing Quality, participants reviewed the nurse-sensitive indicators
that are tracked, identified data sources, and became familiar with
the data collection methods and tools. The unit-based quality
committee members hold quarterly meetings with nursing leaders.
The focus of these rounds is to engage the nursing staff in quality
and have closer involvement of leadership with unit staff,
specifically focusing on quality improvement. The goal of the
initiative was to ensure staff members share quality data, discuss
unit projects with their peers, and are afforded the opportunity to
openly share with leadership the unit accomplishments and quality
efforts. The initiative has increased staff’s awareness and focus on
unit efforts for addressing patient safety, patient satisfaction, nurse
satisfaction and other quality endeavors.
Leadership rounds
Leadership rounds provide the opportunity
for nursing leaders to connect with patients, families
and staff. This allows nurses to gain insight into
processes that work well and those in need of
improvement as part of the leadership commitment
to improving the patient experience. Leadership
rounds take place every Friday morning, and leaders are
asked to protect this time to focus fully on the activity.
Anecdotal comments indicate that staff members
appreciate leadership rounds. They welcome the
opportunity to share their concerns and provide
feedback. Often, patients and their families provide
complimentary comments about staff members who go
beyond to make their stay exceptional. When possible,
nursing leaders provide such feedback immediately to
those team members or their managers. Additionally, the
chief nursing officer shares the names of team members
who were commended in a weekly email. Team members
look forward to this recognition and are eager for their
names to be included in this communication. Providing
recognition and positive feedback has the potential to
increase staff satisfaction and engagement, which the
literature suggests increases staff satisfaction and
engagement and translates to better patient care and
improved patient satisfaction.
Leadership rounds have provided the opportunity for
nursing leaders to hear firsthand comments from
patients about their experiences. One patient cited a
time when he had difficulty sleeping. The nurse came to
his room around 1 a.m. and talked with him until he was
able to fall asleep. He said that made such an impact
that when he was discharged from the hospital, it was
the only story about his hospital stay that he shared with
friends and family. He said the nurse’s action made him
feel “cared for and valued.” Another patient related that
she was having difficulty breathing and was not feeling
well. The nursing assistant offered to remain with her,
held her hands, and just remained calm. The patient said
she felt at peace and began to pray. This simple gesture
had an impact on the patient, who believed the nursing
assistant changed the course of her situation and
made her feel better.

Professional Values
Bedside shift
report
Bedside shift report increases patient safety,
satisfaction and participation in care. The
Nursing Practice Congress formed a PACT
to further develop our bedside shift report
process, after the DoN-CAPE Committee
recommended the process as a best practice.
Nursing implemented the current process for
bedside shift reporting on all inpatient units in
January 2012.
The benefits of bedside shift reporting are
numerous:
• Patients who are informed about their plan
of care are more likely to be compliant.
• The process builds teamwork, transparency
and trust.
• Incoming and outgoing nurses can see
the patient at the same time, and nurses
can share crucial care information in the
presence of the patient.
• It offers an opportunity for clarifying
outstanding issues and addressing patients’
comments, questions and concerns.
• Nurses experience fewer interruptions
while giving reports and are able to leave
work in a timely manner, eliminating the
need for overtime.
Bedside shift report feedback
One patient said he liked the exchange of
information at shift change because it gave
him the opportunity to hear his nurses discuss
his care. He had the chance to provide input
and make corrections.
A family member shared that he and his
siblings had a rotating schedule to care for his
mother, and the end-of-shift report at the
bedside provided a summary of care events
for the 12-hour shift that was informative and
comforting.
14
Ambulatory rounds
The ambulatory rounding project entailed developing and
implementing a formal, standardized and sustainable
rounding process in the ambulatory centers by collecting,
analyzing and reporting patient experiences and feedback.
The aim was to examine ways to improve wait time and
staff courtesy, and to determine what is important to our
patients.
Nursing leaders posed the following questions
to patients during rounds:
1. What could we have done better with regard to your
visit with us today?
2. Has there been anything about your stay so far that
you have been very pleased with?
3.Is there someone in particular who provided exceptional
care for you?
4.Is there anything else I can do for you before I leave?
I have the time.
A free-text box on the rounding log allowed an opportunity
for open dialogue outside of the structured questions.
Nursing leadership visited with a minimum of five patients
per week in their home center. Effective June 2012, these
individuals partnered with other managers/directors in
other centers, and for two weeks per month, each pair
rounded in their partner’s respective center. The rounds
are documented in an electronic Leader Customer
Rounding Log.
Team members are responsible for collecting, reviewing,
analyzing, and reporting any patient feedback trends;
recommending opportunities for improvement; and
submitting them to the leadership of the respective
multidisciplinary care center on a monthly basis.
Centers will report these on a multidisciplinary care
center scorecard each month.
Conversations make connections
For Sue Ferguson, clinical administrative director of
the Nellie B. Connally Breast Center, patient rounding
is about having a conversation.
“I don’t walk up to someone, introduce myself and
tell them I’m rounding,” she says. “I just start a
conversation while I’m straightening up our lobby.”
Ferguson adds that communicating openly makes
patients feel as though you’re paying attention to
their individual needs. “When we talk to patients,
we establish an important connection,” she says.
“It lets them know that we’re here and willing to
listen if they need to talk.”

Regional Care Centers:
Caring in the community
Professional Partnerships
Successful professional partnerships result when all partners collaborate,
merging their collective knowledge, expertise and perspectives to improve
patient outcomes. This cannot occur when individual professionals act on
their own. Internal professional partnerships include nurses, physicians,
other professionals and volunteers. External partners include the
National Cancer Institute (NCI), professional nursing organizations,
schools of nursing, affiliate sites and global partners.
16
The extension of the community of nurses who provide exemplary
care for MD Anderson patients offers the option for patient care
closer to home. Presently there are 102 clinical team members,
including registered nurses, medical assistants and nursing
assistants working at the Bay Area, Katy, Sugar Land, and
The Woodlands Regional Care Centers. A total of 11 advanced
practice nurses and three nurse navigators assist with the multidisciplinary team for services such as: medical oncology, radiation
oncology and surgical oncology, pain management, dermatology,
head and neck, genitourinary, and gynecologic oncology services.
The nurse navigator participates in the patient care referral process,
diagnostic testing, and relationship building. Weekly interdisciplinary
rounds offer a review of treatment plans, service coordination with
the Texas Medical Center (TMC) Campus and clinical trial participation from a multidisciplinary plan of care. Information technology supports community networking with the TMC Campus through group
video conferences and computer screen sharing for in-services. This
optimizes relationship building and participation in Nurse Practice
Congress, nursing leadership and Magnet Champions meetings.
Clinical nurses are aligned with the team to offer support for clinical
trial research, patient education and community partnership. One
nurse notes, “Regional care allows me to bring the care closer to our
patients’ homes and this is important to patients and nurses.”

Professional Partnerships
Banner MD Anderson: nurses and knowledge sharing
MD Anderson’s affiliation with Banner Health in Arizona
has provided an excellent opportunity to partner with
another institution and facilitate sharing of knowledge
and skills with other health care professionals. In fall of
2012, Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center initiated a
program to provide head and neck cancer (HNC) care
to the patients it serves. Nursing leadership in both
organizations undertook a collaborative effort to ensure
that Banner MD Anderson staff members were offered
the opportunity to gain knowledge about this patient
population and develop the skills they needed to care
for these patients. Initial steps included the sharing of
policies, plans of care, standardized order sets and
patient education materials. Regularly scheduled
conference calls allow the Banner clinical leadership
team opportunities to engage in routine discussions
with the clinical experts at MD Anderson in Houston.
The Banner nursing leadership team, including the chief
nursing officer and several directors, made an initial visit
to Houston in November 2012 and met with the HNC
nursing leadership team, which included both inpatient
and ambulatory care representatives.
Throughout this process, plans were developed to
bring Banner MD Anderson nurses to Houston for
clinical experiences with HNC patients. Five nurses from
Banner spent several days at MD Anderson in Houston
in January 2013, where they were given the opportunity
to see patients and provide hands-on care to patients,
under the oversight of Ginny Bowman, the clinical
expert for HNC nursing care. Later that month, three
additional staff members came to Houston, learned
about processes in the operating room, and gained
more knowledge about the flow of patient care across
the continuum. Bowman offered education in the form of
lectures and discussion of patient scenarios. Following
the visits to Houston, Bowman traveled to MD Anderson
Banner, and over a period of several days, provided
educational lectures to Banner health care professionals
about HNC. She also spoke at two “lunch and learn”
sessions open to all employees about demonstrating care
and respect to patients who may have significant change in
appearance and function during and after their cancer
treatment. Throughout the visit to Banner MD Anderson,
Bowman met with health care providers in all areas of
patient care and discussed concerns, special needs and
opportunities to provide safe, effective care to the HNC
patient population. Since the visit to Banner, there has
been an ongoing exchange of information through emails
and phone calls, as the nursing leadership team at Banner
MD Anderson continues to implement staff education
and develop competencies aimed at enabling nursing staff
to provide excellent patient care to HNC patients.
Nursing collaboration with
Texas Woman’s University (TWU)
and The University of Texas
Medical Branch (UTMB)
When the Division of Nursing chose to incorporate the role of the clinical
nurse leader as part of Primary Team Nursing, partnerships between the
hospital and two local universities were developed, enabling the vision
of Primary Team Nursing to be actualized using the role of clinical nurse
leader as a core component. Unique to these partnerships was the vision
that the hospital and the university would work together to create the
curriculum for this program.
In 2011, we solidified formal partnerships with Texas Woman’s University
(Houston) and UTMB Health School of Nursing (Galveston). Through
collaboration, teamwork and communication, the curriculum for the
clinical nurse leader program was developed.
Essential to the process were the initial face-to-face discussions between
key faculty and hospital nursing leaders to establish common ground and
the vision each party had for the role. Additional meetings with key
stakeholders to discuss further mutual expectations, timelines, critical
accomplishments, and potential issues transpired over two years.
A critical component in the success of the partnership was the
identification of hospital and university liaisons. These individuals
became the first contacts to discuss and determine how to address
issues. Channeling discussions through the liaisons kept communication
focused and reduced the opportunity for multiple interpretations. These
liaisons allowed the hospital and university to raise student and program
concerns or issues, and led to modifications in the programs over time to
best meet the needs of MD Anderson and the universities.
Establishing non-tenured faculty appointments for designated nursing
leaders within the institution has allowed participation in the education
of the program candidates. Professional relationships have formed and
a deeper understanding of the needs of the participants and limitations
of both the institution and the universities has occurred. Successful
partnerships support preparing clinical nurse leader graduates to
function effectively and add value to the settings in which they work, and
to increase the desirability of the academic programs that prepare them.

National Magnet Nurse of the Year - Nancy Tomczak
MD Anderson was honored to have one
of its own recognized as a 2012 National
Magnet Nurse of the Year. But what made
this award even more exceptional was
that it recognized a leader of our nursing
shared governance body.
Shared Governance
Nancy Tomczak, clinical nurse resource,
Inpatient Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular
Therapy Unit, was recognized for her contributions
in the area of Transformational Leadership.
Tomczak epitomizes the characteristics of a
transformational leader as chair of the Nursing
Practice Congress. She revolutionized the congress
by bringing in multidisciplinary members, resulting
in increased engagement and a global vision for
de-compartmentalizing clinical issues to achieve
workable, interdisciplinary solutions. She devotes
equal attention to research and evidence-based
practice, nurse advocacy and mentoring, and a
commitment to high-quality care. Her research
efforts resulted in a grant-funded physical activity
program that engages both patients and staff. In
2011, she received the Arceneaux Award, recognizing her outstanding delivery of hands-on care
and excellence in daily contact with patients in the
clinical setting.
“I got to have my real mom and my ‘work mom’
there,” Tomczak says, referring to Patty Johnston,
a director for Clinical Nursing, who was one of
her first managers and still is a key mentor for her.
“It was fun to have them and others with me to
cheer me on and to share this success.” Tomczak was joined by her associate director, Roxy
Blackburn and other Nursing leaders, including Dr. Summers.
“It was an honor to see Nancy represent MD Anderson,” says Dr. Summers. “She’s an
exceptional clinical nurse who has worked hard to develop her leadership skills. Her work
has benefited so many nurses and patients.”
The Shared Governance body at MD Anderson is a multidisciplinary team
of representatives from across the institution charged with the task of defining,
implementing and maintaining institutional standards for clinical practice that
are consistent with national, state and community standards of practice.
The American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) National Magnet Nurse of the
Year™ awards recognize the outstanding contributions of clinical nurses in each of the five
Magnet® Model components: Transformational Leadership; Structural Empowerment;
Exemplary Professional Practice; New Knowledge, Innovations & Improvements; and
Empirical Outcomes. The 2012 award winners were recognized at the ANCC National
Magnet Conference® in Los Angeles.
“It’s a great responsibility and
honor to be the voice of the
constituents I represent.”
– Felicia Selman
Nursing Practice
Congress Representative
As an elected representative to the Nursing
Practice Congress, Felicia Selman, clinical
nurse, Ambulatory Surgery Center Short Stay
Nursing Unit, attends monthly meetings to
represent the outpatient nursing constituents.
Selman, a clinical nurse with the Ambulatory
Surgery Center Short Stay Nursing Unit, has
served on the congress for two terms, each
with a two-year commitment. Starting out,
she did not know what to expect but the
unique experience far surpassed any of her
expectations. Selman was amazed that such
a large institution could bring together a
body of multidisciplinary professionals to
collaborate and address clinical practice
issues through exploration of potential
solutions, with the common goal of
improving patient outcomes.
This experience has allowed Selman to
network and encourage others to respond to
PACT call-outs, where the work of the congress occurs. These smaller work groups are
open to all nurses across the institution. She
is able to experience first-hand the effectiveness of this process in maintaining control
over nursing practice.
Selman believes that nurses must continue to
use their voices in decisions affecting clinical
practice through shared governance, as outlined in our PPM. This framework gives nurses
the ability and the power to drive needed
changes in collaboration and partnership with
the multidisciplinary team to achieve a culture
of safety for patients and our workforce.
Mary West, clinical nurse, Emergency Center
“I have been on two PACTs and am hoping to chair a PACT. When I went to my first PACT meeting, I had no idea what to expect. When I walked
in and learned that Geri Lobiondo-Wood, Ph.D., associate professor, Division of Nursing, would be mentoring our PACT, I realized that
MD Anderson really takes nurses’ involvement in the decision making process at the institutional level seriously. I found it very empowering
to be part of a truly multidisciplinary team that shared my passion for a particular topic.
20
I appreciate the Emergency Center Leadership Team for always supporting me, as attending PACT meetings can be a challenging on days that
I am scheduled to provide patient care at the bedside. I look forward to PACT meetings. As a PACT member, I now have a better understanding
of how change evolves and that each of us has the power to initiate the changes that we feel would benefit our deserving patients.”
21
Clinical NurseAdvancement Program
Professional Recognition
and Rewards
In 2010, the Division of Nursing adopted Benner’s
Novice to Expert theory as the conceptual framework for the Clinical Nurse Advancement Program
(CNAP). The three core competency levels are
apprentice, competent and proficient. All current
staff members who had completed one of the two
highest levels of the previous professional development model have been challenged to complete
the proficient level by April 2014.
A new standard in clinical practice requires
specialty certification at the proficient level.
Additional documentation includes case studies,
a value statement and other examples provided
by the clinical nurse completing the application,
in addition to peer evaluation. The promotion to
the next level is approved by a committee of
unit or division clinical nurse peers. A group of
22 “proficient pioneers” were the first to complete
the process. They served as the first review
committees and were an inspiration to their
nursing colleagues.

Joseph Brown, clinical nurse,
Main Operating Room
Joseph Brown was the first proficient
pioneer in the Perioperative Services.
He says he learned a lot about who
he was as a clinical nurse on his journey to reach the proficient level.
“I approached the CNAP process as
a challenge. It was a learning and
improvement process for me and my
clinical nursing practice. I made it fun
either through a daily review of my
CNAP folder to the self-satisfaction
of highlighting each section as I completed it. Knowing I was that much
closer in achieving this goal was very
gratifying.
“Being the first circulating nurse in
the Main Operating Room to complete
the CNAP, I really do feel honored. I
have new confidence in knowing that
I went through the CNAP Process. I
was challenged, and I came out shining. In the end, this makes me a better
circulating nurse for MD Anderson
and, most importantly, for my surgical
patients and families.”
Surgical Team Recognized for Advanced Skills by
Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses
The formal acknowledgement of an individual’s education, clinical expertise,
and professional status. This ensures nursing expertise is visible, valued and
understood, and that professional autonomy is maintained. Additionally, it values
and rewards clinical practice, provides a structure for ongoing education,
encourages the achievement of specialty certification and supports nurse retention.
More than 50% of MD Anderson perioperative registered nurses have taken steps
to strengthen their professional knowledge and earn CNOR certification from the
Competency & Credentialing Institute of the Association of PeriOperative Registered
Nurses (AORN).
The institute recently distinguished MD Anderson as a CNOR Strong facility, based
on this team achievement and our reward and recognition programs to encourage
certification.
CNOR once stood for certified nurse operating room. Today, it is referenced only by its
acronym to denote perioperative nurses who strive to exceed standard competence in
the perioperative setting. The credential is awarded for five years.
“Specialty knowledge of operating room practices helps perioperative nurses handle a variety of cases and challenges, leading to improved patient
outcomes,” says Deborah Alpers, director of Perioperative Nursing. “We’re especially pleased so many of our nurses have achieved this advanced
certification and that we have programs in place to encourage certification and the continued professional development of our OR nursing teams.”
AORN is a non-profit organization that provides nursing education and standards for perioperative quality and safety.
22
The CNOR Strong designation signifies our commitment to national standards for evidence-based perioperative practice and to fostering a team
environment that encourages each member to pursue the highest credentials and education in support of safe patient care, Alpers says.
23
The Beacon Award
One of the proudest moments for the staff of P7 in 2012
was the day the thoracic surgical step-down unit was
awarded the Beacon Award for Nursing Excellence from
the American Association for Critical Care Nurse (AACN).
The Beacon award, created by AACN, recognizes individual
units for improving all elements of patient care, and includes
criteria that address the leadership structure, patient outcomes, evidenced-based practice and process, effective
communication, appropriate staffing, and staff engagement.
Staff worked together and supported each other as a team
during the two-and-one-half year journey, even creating
T-shirts with the motto of “Seekin’ the Beacon” that they
wore every Wednesday.
A core group met weekly to work on the areas of
opportunity identified from the initial assessment that
needed strengthening.
Katie Lewis, associate director, credits the team’s success
to the support shown by leadership. Bob Massey, Ph.D., an
assistant professor of Nursing, sponsored and mentored the
team. Dr. Summers met with the team at its kick-off and
signed a commitment statement for the application to
demonstrate her support.
After a lot of hard work, networking and collaboration
with others, the document was submitted to AACN.
Achieving this award brought a great deal of pride to the
staff, knowing that this was the first Beacon award to be
awarded at MD Anderson and that they were recognized
for excellence in nursing. The award reminds staff of our
responsibility to our patients and of the need to look critically
at processes, outcomes, and the environment – assuring
the promise to excellence is continually being evaluated.
“It’s such a testament to the level of teamwork and
collaboration that MD Anderson is all about,” Lewis says.
Nursing Accomplishments
Honors and Awards
Sugar Land nurse Claudine Jreissaty wins 2012 Arceneaux award
Each year, one deserving nurse at MD Anderson is named the Ethel Fleming
Arceneaux Outstanding Nurse-Oncologist. The award honors the exceptional
patient care this nurse delivers and celebrates the winner as an ambassador
for the nursing profession.
In 2012, that honor belonged to Claudine Jreissaty, an outpatient clinical nurse
at our Sugar Land Regional Care Center.
Jreissaty has been with MD Anderson since 2008. She started her career here
with the Nellie B. Connally Breast Center and joined the Sugar Land Regional Care
Center in 2010. She has nearly 15 years of experience as a nurse and is a certified
breast care nurse.
Thanks to the Brown Foundation Inc., Jreissaty will receive a $15,000 prize in
recognition of the superior hands-on care she provides to her patients.
She hopes other units will be spurred to action by their
success. “We look forward to sharing the lessons we’ve
learned with other teams, and we’re not done yet.”

100% Certified Cardiopulmonary Center and Cardiac Catheterization Lab
24
The path towards 100% certification was a thrill ride for
the Cardiopulmonary Center and Cardiac Catheterization
Lab. As a team, they decided to complete certification
together at close intervals, to maximize momentum
and support from each other. First, the appropriate
certification that all areas could take was identified.
There are many specialty practices in one area:
Cardiac clinic, Stress lab, Pulmonary clinic, Pulmonary
function tests Bronchoscopy procedures, and Cardiac
Catheterization. The team found a certification test that fit
all areas in the CVRN Level I Cardiovascular Nursing Board
Certification Exam, which was developed specifically for
nurses working in cardiology arenas such as telemetry,
the cardiac catheterization lab, chest pain centers,
cardiac rehabilitation units and office-based private
practice cardiac nurses. The leadership team and
medical team cheered the group on. The team worked
together so all received time to attend the review classes
and take the test itself. The medical team also provided
review on topics with CE credit that were going to be
covered in the exam. In June 2012, the team was 100%
certified, from the managers to all the clinical nurses. This
center was the first at MD Anderson to achieve 100%
certification. The nurses reported a sense of validation of
their clinical practice, and this empowered them to drive
better patient outcomes.
