WIHCC Division of Nursing
Updated: 4/2/2021
We recognizes and appreciates the diversity of our community and our nurses. Realizing the value in the ranges of experience and background, we welcome nursing interest from all areas. WIHCC Nursing also supports continuing education for our nursing staff in the pursuit of professional growth and excellence. Educational opportunities are intended to develop, refine or enhance nursing expertise.
In 2013 WIHCC Division of Nursing implemented the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model for the primary purpose of: (1) improve continuity of care for patients and providers; (2) improve appointment show rates; (3) improve patient-provider relationships; (4) improve patient outcomes.
The WIHCC PCMH program is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). The program consists of a PCMH Manager and several Clinical Care Coordinators whom focus on coordinating all necessary information for the patient encounter to ensure the most efficient visit possible. It is also to help the patient achieve a safer and better transition from discharge to home and back into primary care for necessary follow up.

DAISY Award Recipient for January 2019 - June 2019”
The DAISY Award For Extraordinary Nurses (The DAISY Award) was established by the Daisy Foundation in memory of J. Patrick Barnes who died at the age of 33 of Immune Thrombocytopenic purpura, an autoimmune disease. Patrick’s family brainstormed and wanted to do something in his memory. The family recalled the skillful and compassionate care Patrick received from his nurses during his eight-week hospitalization and wanted to say “thank you” to Nurses everywhere by establishing a recognition program.
Nurses are nominated by anyone in the organization - patients, family members, other nurses, physicians, other clinicians and staff - anyone who experiences or observes extraordinary compassionate care being provided by a nurse. Nominees should be role models and meet the following criteria: excellent clinical nursing skills; excellent educator of patients and their families; excellent interpersonal skills and a continued commitment to excellence.
