Professional Activities. High quality patient care requires the combined, coordinated and interdisciplinary efforts and services of a variety of personnel and the specific identification and assignment of tasks required for proper patient care to certain categories of personnel, to the exclusion of other categories is not practical nor in the best interest of quality patient care. It is understood, therefore, that employees covered by this Agreement have a primary responsibility of providing nursing care, which does not require them to function as a clerk, messenger, transporter, custodian, maintenance employee or dietetics worker for substantial periods of time except in rare and unusual circumstances.
