Our Background

Encompass has had an active field consulting team since 1994, and quickly realized that effective cultural changes in nursing behavior were only possible if the messengers of that change were considered credible. We think there is no better person than a nurse to convince another nurse that there may be a better way to serve the needs of their patient that also serves the financial and quality goals of the hospital.
