A mission statement is a formal expression of an organization's purpose. Mission statements are drafted according to the following guidelines: they should be no longer than a couple of sentences, they state the organization's purpose using action words, and they should be simple and from the heart. Vision statements reflect an organization's vision of itself for the future. They tend to cover a variety of activities and span longer and broader time frames.

The principles of whole-systems shared governance are: partnership (implies horizontal linkages between nursing and other staff roles), accountability (individuals are accountable for their actions), ownership (individuals own the work they perform), and equity (staff roles are based upon relationships, not titles).
