St. Joseph’s Hospital-North in Lutz has achieved the Pathway to Excellence designation, a national nursing recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center that identifies health care organizations for positive practice environments where nurses excel.
To qualify, organizations need to meet six practice standards essential to an ideal nursing environment: shared decision-making, leadership, safety, quality, well-being, and professional development.
Applicants must undergo a thorough review process that documents the integration of those standards in the organization’s practices, policies and culture.
