Abstract:
A nursing model selection team was created to evaluate the theoretical framework of the professional practice model for the department of nursing. The team's mission was to assess whether the present nursing model was congruent with the culture of contemporary practice of nursing within the organization. After a year of in-depth readings, meetings, and communications with other hospitals, the committee adopted the Quality Caring Model(©) (QCM) developed by Joanne Duffy, RN, PhD. The implementation team used focus groups, Web-based tutorials, and interactive media as educational tools. Quality caring advocates (unit-based direct care nurses) were selected to assist with the sustainability of the QCM(©).
