Nursing care delivery systems. A nursing administrative practice perspective

The Nursing Administrative Practice Perspective (NAPP) is a macro, ecologic, open systems, conceptual model. This model guides the discovery, understanding, prediction, and use of key resources, structures, goals, and processes in the delivery of nursing care. NAPP encompasses and expands upon established domains of nursing, person, health, and environment as they influence nursing administration practice. A heuristic device, NAPP advances the understanding of relationships between nursing administrative practice, nursing care delivery systems, and organizations.
