Effective Design

The healthcare construction boom requires evidence for effective design of nurse stations, including evidence supporting workflow processes, computerization, integration of technology, communication of caregivers, and optimal patient outcomes. This article describes the examination of a traditional centralized nursing station using a total patient care delivery model and minimal computerization and a highly computerized, decentralized nursing station using a team nursing model. Results specific to communication activities, time with patients, number of patient visits per registered nurse, and patient satisfaction with response time are reported.

Care Delivery Model

Purpose: This study aimed to test the effectiveness of High-Need Community-Dwelling Older Adults Care Delivery Model (HCOACDM) in Taiwan. Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial with repeated measures design was conducted in eight community care centers, involving 145 high-need older adults who were assigned to the intervention group or comparison group. The HCOACDM was provided over 6 months. Functional ability, quality of life, depressive symptoms, and health care and social service utilizations were measured at baseline, at 3 months, and 6 months into the intervention. The participants’ satisfaction was measured at the end of 6-month intervention. Results: Positive effects were shown on all variables in the intervention group at both the 3-month and 6-month intervals (all p < .05). The intervention group had a higher satisfaction with care delivery than the comparison group ( p < .05). Discussion: The promising findings supported a long-term implementation of the HCOACDM as applicable and beneficial.

Community Dwelling Older Adults

Abstract The effectiveness of sufficient care coordination for high-need community-dwelling older adults has not been discussed. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a newly-developed care delivery model for high-need community-dwelling older adults. A cluster randomized controlled trial with repeated measures design was employed. A total of 145 high-need older adults participated in the study and were randomly assigned to either the intervention group or comparison group. A categorized list of care services based on the types of high-need older adults as the intervention allowed care coordinators to make adequate care service linkages. The intervention period ranged over 6 months with regulated home visits and assesssments. Functional ability, quality of life, depressive symptoms, and healthcare and social service utilizations were measured at baseline, and at 3 and 6 months into the intervention. The participants’ satisfaction with care delivery was measured at the end of 6-month intervention. Results showed that the intervention group had a better functional ability, a higher quality of life, reduced depressive symptoms, and more efficient healthcare and social service utilizations than the comparison group at both the 3-month and 6-month intervals (all p &lt; .05). By the end of the 6-month study, the intervention group were more satisfied with the care service linkages than the comparison group (p &lt; .05). The positive effects of providing a categorized list of care services for care coordinators to make service linkages have been evidenced by the outcomes. The promising findings supported a further longer-term implementation of the care delivery model.

Patient Care Delivery

The principles of integrative nursing and caring science align with the unitary paradigm in a way that can inform and shape nursing knowledge, patient care delivery across populations and settings, and new healthcare policy. The proposed policies may transform the healthcare system in a way that supports nursing praxis and honors the discipline’s unitary paradigm. This call to action provides a distinct and hopeful vision of a healthcare system that is accessible, equitable, safe, patient-centered, and affordable. In these challenging times, it is the unitary paradigm and nursing wisdom that offer a clear path forward.
