Study Notes
Patient Care Delivery Systems
- Models of patient care delivery have evolved over time to address changing healthcare needs and organizational goals.
- Common factors to consider when selecting a model include:
- Organizational goals
- Budget
- Staff availability
- Unit objectives
- Patient population
Case Method
- It involves one nurse providing comprehensive care for a patient during an entire shift.
- Emphasizes continuity of care for a particular shift.
- Can be expensive due to the high ratio of nurses to patients.
- May not be feasible with staff shortages.
Functional Nursing
- Emerged during World War II to maximize efficiency.
- Nurses are assigned specific tasks rather than caring for whole patients.
- Can be cost-effective due to use of different skill levels of staff.
- May lead to fragmented care and a lack of holistic patient focus.
Team Nursing
- Developed to address challenges of functional nursing.
- A team of nurses, led by a senior nurse, collaboratively cares for a group of patients.
- Allows for knowledge sharing and skill development among nurses.
- Requires strong leadership and consistent team members for effective implementation.
Primary Care
- Focuses on holistic care throughout a patient’s stay.
- A registered nurse is assigned to each patient and manages their care 24/7.
- Encourages high job satisfaction but requires a high ratio of registered nurses.
- Can be challenging with flexible scheduling and varying levels of staff accountability.
Modular Nursing
- Modifies team nursing and focuses on geographic groupings of patients for care.
- Patient units are divided into modules, with the same team assigned to the same location.
- Aims to improve continuity of care and communication efficiency.
- Requires careful planning to ensure adequate supplies and consistent team members.
Innovative/Contemporary Methods
- Reflects the evolving role of nurses in a technologically advanced healthcare setting.
- Nurses assume roles traditionally held by physicians, such as medication prescription.
- New technologies enhance patient care efficiency and provide access to crucial information.
- Examples of technologies include:
- Automated IV pumps
- Portable monitors
- Portable X-ray machines
- Electronic health records
- Centralized command centers
- Telehealth
Case Management
- A coordinated approach to providing individualized and quality healthcare solutions.
- Involves four key levels:
- Intake: Gathering client information to understand their situation and needs.
- Needs Assessment: Identifying problems, establishing goals, and communicating potential challenges.
- Service Planning: Developing a plan with specific actions, timelines, and metrics to measure progress.
- Monitoring & Evaluating: Tracking progress through established metrics and making adjustments as needed.
