See the PDF file: Norlander, L. (Ed.). Transformational models of nursing across different care settings. Washington, DC: National Academy of Sciences. This paper describes a variety of innovative or transformational models in nursing care across different care settings. Since the students in this course currently work or have worked in many different health care settings (acute, community, armed services), the focus of your paper will be on the ONE of the following areas of health care (NOTE: Ignore nursing education/curriculi): ??£ Acute Care ??£ Chronic Care ??£ Palliative and End of Life Care ??£ Community Health ??£ School Health
b) Choose ONE of the listed (bulleted) health care areas above that are described in the paper and read the descriptions about innovative or transformational models of nursing care that have been established for that selected care setting. NOTE: Many of the models in the paper are described in more detail in other journal articles. You may want to do a literature search if you are interested in learning more about a particular model.
c) Think of your own health care setting (your unit, clinic, etc,). This is your chance to adapt a innovative/transformational model for your current work setting, and/or combine two or more models described in the paper for a new model, and/or develop a completely new model. For example, the Agile Team Model is described in the acute care setting. How would you adapt it to your current settingor would you completely scrap it for a new model in your setting? Think out of the box. Choose a name for your model. NOTE: If you are not currently working as an RN, choose a clinical setting you worked in as a student or veteran.
i. PAPER HEADING: Description of the [Name of Your Model]. Describe the model as it will be incorporated into your work setting and/or community. Health care organizations and communities are unique and adaptations would be required depending on the organizational or community setting.
In describing your model, how would you incorporate the following common themes? These themes are crucial to meet the challenges of the future:
a. Nurse Led and Nurse Managed Health Care
b. Partnerships & Collaboration
c. Continuity of Care Across Settings
d. Technology Always consider cost-effectiveness; you could develop the Cadillac of models, but no one would consider implementing it because the cost would be too high.
ii. PAPER HEADING: Development/Implementation Team for the [Name of Your Model]. Organize a team. Who would you select to be on your team to develop and implement the model (titles, not names). What would each of the team members do in your modelhow would they be integrated into your model? What is their unique role? Againthink about the cost effectivenesscould ancillary staff be used just as effectively?
iii. PAPER HEADING: Evaluation of [Name of Your Model]: Outcome Measurement. Evaluate. After implementation of the model, what outcomes would you measure and how and when would you measure those outcomes? Look at the outcomes that were measured in other models. Would you look at cost comparisons and/or savings? Patient satisfaction? Staff satisfaction? Fewer ER visits and/or re-hospitalizations?
