Overview
The National Defense Authorization Act 702 of 2017 mandated the transfer of the administration of Service-specific Military Treatment Facilities to the Defense Health Agency. This transition to a triservice healthcare environment created an opportunity to develop a joint professional practice model (JPPM), outlined in these videos, to shape Joint Service nursing care. The JPPM components address:
-
Operational Readiness
-
Leadership Development
-
Evidence-Based Practice
-
Quality & Safety
-
Healthy Work Environment​

​
These videos offer rapid clarity for nursing leaders and team members, as well as access to strategies, standards, measurable objectives, and customizable tools you can use to implement the Joint Professional Practice Model at your MTF.
