    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Practice and Healthcare Management
    • Healthcare System Transformation

    Background:

    • Traditional team and functional nursing models present challenges in acute care settings.
    • The need for enhanced patient-centered care models is increasingly recognized in hospital environments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document the experiences and process of implementing primary nursing on a pilot unit.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and organizational aspects of transitioning from team/functional nursing to primary nursing.

    Main Methods:

    • A pilot unit in a 350-bed acute care VA hospital was selected for the transition.
    • A project nurse coordinated the implementation using the nursing process: assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation.

    Main Results:
