Patient Assignments and Nursing Care Responsibilities
Functional Nursing:
Functional nursing is a care delivery model in which nursing tasks are divided among team members based on their specific skills and expertise. In this model, each member of the nursing team is assigned specific functions to perform for a group of patients. For instance, one nurse may be responsible for administering medications, while another nurse may focus on vital sign monitoring. This approach aims to promote efficiency by utilizing the specialized skills of each team member. However, it can also result in fragmented care and reduced continuity as different nurses handle different aspects of patient care.
Team Nursing:
Team nursing is a collaborative care delivery model that involves a team of healthcare professionals working together to provide comprehensive care to a group of patients. The team typically includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nursing assistants, among others. A registered nurse usually leads the team and coordinates care, delegating tasks to team members based on their abilities and scope of practice. This model encourages teamwork, shared decision-making, and a holistic approach to patient care. By leveraging the collective skills and knowledge of the team, team nursing aims to provide high-quality care while maintaining efficiency.
Primary Nursing:
Primary nursing is a patient-centered care delivery model in which a registered nurse takes full responsibility for coordinating and providing care to a specific group of patients. The primary nurse develops a therapeutic relationship with the patients, assesses their needs, creates individualized care plans, and provides direct care throughout their healthcare journey. This model emphasizes continuity of care and places a strong emphasis on the nurse-patient relationship. By having a dedicated primary nurse, patients benefit from personalized attention, improved communication, and a sense of continuity in their care.
Case Management:
Case management is a care delivery model that focuses on coordinating healthcare services for patients with complex medical conditions or multiple healthcare needs. A case manager, often a registered nurse, plays a key role in this model by working closely with the patient, their family, and other healthcare professionals to ensure seamless transitions between healthcare settings and to optimize resource utilization. The case manager assesses the patient's needs, develops and implements care plans, advocates for the patient, coordinates appointments and services, and collaborates with various healthcare providers. The goal is to provide comprehensive and efficient care while maximizing patient outcomes and resource allocation.
Each of these care delivery models has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of model depends on factors such as the healthcare setting, patient population, and available resources.
