"Methodist Healthcare System strives to be an organization that works in partnership with all disciplines and leaders to work collaboratively to achieve goals, communicate openly and honestly, and form an environment committed to continuous learning and improvement. To abide by these principles, the Nursing Staff of MHS Hospital has established the following structure to preserve and enhance a culture where decisions related to the improvement of patient care and work life satisfaction is done collaboratively at all levels within the organization."
This expert is from page 5 of the "MHS Nursing Bylaws Organization an Functions Manual". The manual gives a detailed explanation of the Boards, Centers, Councils and Committees within the bylaw structure. It also explains the purpose, duties, composition, supporting structures, and meeting frequency of each committee.
Current Methodist nurses can access more information about committees and bylaws by going to the MHSCentral Web site under the "Nursing Staff" department link. There they can find the complete Nursing Bylaws Organizational and Functional Chart, the Organization and Functional Manual and the Nursing Committee Membership list.
Nursing Committee Membership
Listed below are the committees currently working to make the Methodist Healthcare System the best place to receive healthcare in Texas. There are many opportunities for nursing staff members to participate in committees within their service specific area or across the healthcare system. For information about the responsibilities, chairperson, and membership of each of the committees, current employees can go to wwwMHSCentral.com. and within the “Nursing Staff” department link they will find a "Nursing Committee Membership" list.
There is a Frontline Leadership team that is working on developing this page and in the future you will be able to click on committees to view hot topics, meetings and scheduled events, and contact information.
