New Knowledge
and Innovation
One of the hallmarks of a profession is
the use and development of specialized
knowledge in the performance of the
functions of the profession. Nursing
as a profession has long embraced
this principle. e provision of health
care by nurses requires a strong initial
educational base, but the provision
of continuing excellent care requires
lifelong learning and the development
of new nursing knowledge to meet an
ever-changing body of knowledge about
health, wellness and illness in society.
As a Magnet-designated organization,
NewYork-Presbyterian/Hudson Valley
Hospital has a strong commitment
to evidence-based practice and
nursing research.
