This article, a continuation of an article previously published by ROL (Issue 29:7-8), is fundamentally based on the work by the author and other professionals involved in the Samueli Institute for Biological Information (SIIB) National Project (Quinn et al, 2003). Quinn and others were invited to serve as a consensus group to develop the investigation guidelines to be used to evaluate the impact of the healing relationship on nursing practices in clinical situations. In essence, this article centers on the use of a theoretical framework for philosophical, ontological, epistemological and ethical care anchored to a healing and relationship-based model. This model hopes to maintain humaneness and care as the center of professional practice.
