About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) details an affiliation agreement between a contractor and the Watson Caring Science Institute for the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. The primary objective is to strengthen the medical center's care delivery model by integrating Jean Watson's Human Caring Theory and Caritas principles into nursing practices. The contractor will help implement a care model focused on holistic, patient-centered nursing that emphasizes six key elements: clinical excellence, patient safety, evidence-based practice, cultural diversity, healthy work environment, and trusting relationships.
The SOW specifies that the affiliated organization must demonstrate a deep-rooted and sustainable commitment to caring science, transforming health and healing approaches for staff, patients, families, and communities. Specific requirements include guiding nurses to provide purposeful, efficient care with positive veteran patient outcomes, actively engaging veterans in their care plans, and applying evidence-based interventions. The ultimate deliverable is an official affiliation with the Watson Caring Science Institute, which will support the VA Medical Center's goal of embedding caring science principles into daily nursing practices and overall patient care strategy.

Watson Caring Science Institute
Statement of Work
Requirements
The contractor shall provide an affiliation for participation with the Watson Caring Science Institute. To become a National Caring Science Affiliate, an organization must demonstrate deep-rooted and sustainable commitment to integrating caring science within practices and policies, seeking to transform and broaden the notion of health and healing for its staff as well as the patients, families, and communities it serves.
Background & Objectives
The contractor shall provide an affiliation for participation with the Watson Caring Science Institute to strengthen the care delivery model at the Michael E DeBakey VA Medical Center. The model shall assist nurses with planning and implementing purposeful care that is also efficient and yields positive outcomes for our Veterans. As the overarching framework for nursing practice, the model shall guide nurses as they provide care, based on evidence-based practices, quality patient outcomes, and contributions to professional nursing practice. This framework shall feed directly into the Care Delivery models utilized at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. The care provided is guided and based on Jean Watson’s Human Caring Theory. Her caritas principles are embedded into the nursing care delivered and the environment in which the nurses work. Our collaboration and consultative relationship with Dr. Jean Watson has assisted in weaving the caritas processes into our day-to-day activities and tasks surrounding the care delivered to our veteran patients. VE employees shall have the opportunity to express their feelings; reconnect to their inner self to promote healing when necessary; and/or experience a caring moment through the Caritas’ avenues available in the medical center. Watson’s Caring theory is discussed at each new employee orientation so new staff members to the MEDVAMC understand that our environment is dedicated to Jean Watson’s caritas processes.
Nurses can create positive patient outcomes by integrating Jean Watson’s Caritas principles along with the 6 elements of a holistic safe zone into their daily professional practice to help meet the special needs of the veteran. Examples shall include, but not be limited to, actively engaging the veteran in their plan of care and decision-making and applying evidence-based practice to all nursing interventions. The 6 elements of a holistic safe zone shall be: clinical excellence, patient safety, evidence-based practice, culture diversity, healthy work environment, trusting relationships.
Deliverables
The contractor shall provide an affiliation with Watson Caring Science Institute.
