Models of Nursing Care
At every site, nurses practice autonomously and own their approach to care. We utilized several care delivery models, each tailored to facilitate the best patient outcomes.

Explore Nursing Models:

RBC focuses on three specific relationships—those with patients, with colleagues and with yourself as a caregiver. RBC is grounded in a primary nursing model of care, and it makes relationships the primary focus of the patient care experience. RBC creates a culture of caring among all employees by integrating RBC principles into the daily fabric of nursing service.


Patient-Centered Care incorporates a multidisciplinary approach that integrates service excellence initiatives with back-to-basics concepts and best practices. As a care delivery model, it emphasizes the direct relationship between patient satisfaction and employee satisfaction. Disciplines form collaborative partnerships to ensure a safe healing environment. We combine performance accountability with behaviors that enhance quality outcomes.


Family-Centered Care recognizes that family is THE constant in a child’s life. Family is, therefore, paramount to the healing and care delivery process. We understand that when a child is injured or sick, the whole family is affected. Families are included in every possible aspect of the child’s care. We respect cultural sensitivities and provide a full range of supportive services.


Planetree is a model of patient-centered care that focuses on healing and nurturing the body, mind and spirit. Through organizational transformation, we create healing environments in which patients can be active participants, and caregivers are empowered to thrive.
