Who We Are

Our nurses have created a mission, vision and values that reflect who we are.

Our Care Delivery Model: Patient Centered Care

Our care delivery model at Lutheran Hospital is patient-centered care. In patient-centered care, caregivers partner with patients and families to identify the patient’s holistic needs.

Intermountain Health Nursing Professional Practice Model

A Nursing Professional Practice Model (NPPM) represents the foundation of nursing practice and provides the basis and purpose of our work. The NPPM reflects who, what, why and how we practice nursing. Intermountain Health Nursing Division collaborated on an enterprise-wide Nursing Professional Practice Model (NPPM). With multiple NPPMs across regions, and as nursing is completing integration and optimization work, over 3,000 nurses provided input on a framework that defines our nursing practice to guide the continued delivery of extraordinary patient care and support the development and empowerment of nurses as professionals.
LMC Nursing Professional Governance

Shared Governance

Shared governance is a dynamic associate & leader partnership that promotes collaboration, shared decision-making, and accountability for improving quality of care, safety and work life. Decision-making is based on evidence, facts and consensus for what is best for all.

Lutheran Hospital has an integrated Shared Governance structure consisting of the following councils:

  • Professional Nurse Coordinating Council
  • Unit Based Councils
  • Research & Evidence-Based Practice Council
  • Nursing Peer Review Council
  • Nurse Staffing Council
  • Magnet Champions Council
  • Clinical Leader Councils
  • Training & Development Council
  • Destination Wellness Council

Career Ladder Program

The Intermountain Health Career Ladder Program, iAspire, kicked off in 2024 and originates from nursing theorist, Dr. Patricia Benner's “novice to expert” theory, which centers around the competence of the nurse through stages: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert.

The program offers a means for the bedside clinical nurse to advance in the nursing profession.

Additionally, the program:

  • Fosters an environment of excellence in nursing care
  • Recognizes accomplishments achieved by the clinical nurse
  • Encourages professional development and accountability
  • Increases retention
  • Empowers ownership of practice
  • Rewards and recognizes clinical nurses for their impact and the difference they make in safety, quality, their patients’ experiences, and professional practice

Lutheran Hospital is proud to have 120 nurses currently at an achieved career ladder level!
