# Critical pathway
9. Case method
Oldest method
Total patient care method
Total responsibility of meeting patient need
is of nurse on duty
Assignment of one or more clients to a
nurse for a specific period of time
10. Case method - principles
Accountability of care planning
Continuity
Co-ordination
Documentation
Nursing process
Cost effectiveness
12. Case method - Merits
The nurse can see better an attend to the total needs of
clients.(physical , emotional, medical regimen, teaching)
Continuity of care can be facilitated with care
Rapport can be build.
Client may feel more secure.
Educational needs can be monitored.
Family and friends become well known by nurse and get
more involved in the care of the client.
Workload can be equally divided among staffs.
Nurses are accountable for their function.
13. Case method - demerits
The greatest disadvantage is when the nurse is
inadequately trained or prepared to provide total care to
the patients.
Nurses are not enough to comply the demand of this
model: cost effectiveness should be considered.
This method has to be modified is nonprofessional health
workers are to be used.
It is difficult for nurses to use this method to become
involved in long term planning and evaluation of care
14. Functionalnursing
1930, USA
Functional nursing is a method of providing patient care by
which each licensed and unlicensed staff members perform
specific tasks for a large group of patients.
Task method
Good for long term care setting with improved coordination,
care planning and communication.
16. FunctionalNursing-MERITS
The person can be skilled in the assigned task, it can be
efficient and economical.
The best use of persons aptitudes and experience and desires.
Saves time
Easy to organise the work
Useful in emergency
17. FunctionalNursing-DEMERITS
Clients can become impersonal, accomplished and
fragmented
Tremendous risk in diminishing continuity of care.
Staff may have very little motivation to develop self and
others, as work becomes monotonous
Clients may feel insecure not knowing who their staff is .
It is difficult to establish clients priorities
18. TEAM NURSING
1950’s
A nursing team made up of professional nurses, nursing
auxillaries and nursing aids. They can work together co-
operatively under a well qualified team leader to provide a
range of nursing services which may vary from the simple
to the most complex nursing functions.
19. TEAM NURSING
The spectrum of nursing functions includes
Simple nursing functions - nursing aides
Intermediate nursing functions - trained nursing personnel.
Professional functions - a nurse with professional nursing education
background.
Better coordination, supervision and efficiency. Potential for high quality
care.
20. CHARACTERISTICS
Common agreed goals
Clear division of labour
Adequate resources human and material
Supportive and cooperative interpersonal relationships
Open, honest communications
Provision for evaluation and improvement
Good scope for utilization of nursing process by the team.
23. DISADVANTAGES
No direct care may be given by the team member.
Individual members may not have comprehensive knowledge
about the patient as a whole due to lack of communication
Team members may become too much dependent on the leader for
the decision making.
Nursing care may become fragmented.
Continuity suffers if daily team assignments vary
Team leader should have good leadership skills.
Insufficient time for planning and communication
24. MODULAR NURSING
• THE NURSING STAFF INCLUDES TECHNICAL AND
NURSE AIDES, AS WELLAS PROFESSIONAL NURSES.
• TWO OR THREE PERSONS ARE ASSIGNED TO EACH
MODULE, THE GREATEST RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
CARE OF ASSIGNED PATIENTS FALLS ON THE
PROFESSIONAL NURSE. THE PROFESSIONAL NURSE
IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR GUIDING AND TEACHING
NON-PROFESSIONAL NURSE.
25.
26. MODULAR NURSING - ADVANTAGES
•CONTINUITY OF CARE IS IMPROVED
•RN MORE INVOLVED IN PLANNING AND
COORDINATING CARE
•GEOGRAPHIC CLOSENESS AND EFFICIENT
COMMUNICATION
27. MODULAR NURSING - DISADVANTAGES
•INCREASED COSTS TO STOCK EACH
MODULE
•LONG CORRIDORS NOT CONDUCIVE TO
MODULAR NURSING.
28. PRIMARY NURSING METHOD
Comprehensive, continuous and coordinated nursing
process for meeting the total needs of each patient.
Primary nursing concept was to promote individualized
nursing care and to make qualified registered nurses
assume responsibilities for nursing care provided to
patients .
One registered nurse is responsible for patient care over
24 hours period , 7 days a week from the time the patient
29. CONCEPT OF PRIMARY NURSING
Patient assessment by a primary nurse

reporting method.
Discharge planning including teaching, family involvement and
appropriate references.
30. PROCESS

34. Case management method
• Case management is a process of monitoring an
individual patient’s health care by the case manager, for
the purpose of maximizing positive outcomes and
containing costs
• Quality of care plus cost.
35. • From the diagnostic phase through
hospitalization, rehabilitation and back to home
care.
• Planning, implementing, coordinating and
evaluating care for the patient throughout the
period of illness
• plans are made in advance for the next needed
step.

care processes
• Clinical pathways promote organized and efficient patient care based

44. JOURNAL ABSTRACT
• The Effects of the Primary Nursing Care Model: A
Systematic Review
Since the 1980s, the primary nursing model has gained
increasing prominence. The study aims to describe the effects
of the primary nursing model for patients, their family
members, nursing staff and the care organization. Based on
the findings of this review, it seems that the primary nursing
model may have beneficial effects for patients in the contexts
of care , it seems to add to patient satisfaction with care and
reduce health problems.
45. JOURNAL ABSTRACT CONT….
It is also possible that the model contributes to nurses’
increased sense of job control and autonomy. There is also
preliminary evidence that the costs of the primary nursing
model are lower than those of the team nursing model. In the
future, family members will be increasingly involved in patient
care, and therefore it is important to understand how nursing
under the primary nursing model supports the coping of the
patient’s family members during periods of hospitalization.
46. JOURNAL ABSTRACT CONT….
• Team Nursing : A collaborative approach improves patient care
This article describes an evidence based project to improve the
delivery of care and patient and staff satisfaction with team nursing.
The primary benefit of this approach is that pairing nurses provides a
resource and supplement to patient care. The results of a baseline
survey to evaluate staff satisfaction and morale indicated staff
members were dissatisfied because of a lack of team work and
support from peers in patient care. Believing that poor nurse
satisfaction is related to undesirable patient outcomes and decreased
quality of care, the authors of article , who were the stakeholders,
decided that a team nursing model of care would be implemented
