ANALYSIS OF NURSING CARE DELIVERY MODEL

  1. Select a Nursing Care Delivery Model from the literature. Further information can be found under the BB tab, Term Paper. This is does not need to be the model you use in your work environment. If you do choose the model of your workplace please make sure it is a nursing model of care that is described in the literature, not just a model used in your organization. Do not mention your organization and do not give your opinion or personal views on the model. This is not an opinion paper, it is a factual paper with references found in peer reviewed journals or texts. 2. Describe the model:  History of the model (when, where, why, who developed it)  What personnel are utilized in the model?  What are their roles and responsibilities? Educational preparation? Licensure requirements?  How is the work coordinated?  What are the reporting relationships?  What are the educational requirements for the various nursing positions in the model? 3. Discuss how this model:  Affects/influences cost, quality of care, patient and family satisfaction.  How is the availability of resources taken into consideration when adopting this model.  How does the delivery model affect nursing job satisfaction, patient/family satisfaction, and hospital satisfaction?
