Testimonial
“As a nurse working at Trinity, there is opportunity to be involved in Shared Decision Making. The Committee is called IGNITE and it gives every nurse at Trinity a voice to help make our hospital an even better place to work.”

Inviting Growth in Nursing and Igniting Teams in Excellence

Nurses at Trinity Regional Medical Center have participated in the Decisional Involvement Scale (DIS) survey to share their thoughts about the types of decisions in which they want to be involved.  The results of the DIS survey were utilized to develop a Shared Decision Making (SDM) Model for nurses at Trinity Regional Medical Center called Inviting Growth in Nursing and Igniting Teams in Excellence (IGNITE).
