Shared Governance supports and encourages a dynamic partnership between nursing and leadership. Professional nursing practice is facilitated through the empowerment, encouragement, and teamwork of Shared Governance activities and the solicitation of staffs' voices in shared decision-making and innovation in a performance improvement framework. Collaboration promotes shared decision-making and accountability by empowering all members of the healthcare workforce to have an active voice in issues that impact all aspects of the work environment. Satisfied individuals take ownership of their decisions and work to improve patient outcomes.

Shared Governance consists of Unit-Based Councils (UBC), Divisional Councils, teams, and task forces. These councils meet monthly to talk about standardization and improvement of practice, development, safety, quality, and evidence-based research.
