    A new nursing care delivery system combining team nursing and a unit-based case manager improved patient outcomes and was cost-effective. This model efficiently supports hospitals with limited bedside care resources.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Management
    • Quality Improvement
    • Healthcare Delivery Systems

    Background:

    • Hospitals face challenges in providing adequate bedside care, especially with limited resources.
    • Existing care delivery models may not fully integrate case management with staff and patient education.
    • The need for cost-effective solutions that improve patient outcomes is critical in healthcare.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To implement and evaluate a novel care delivery system integrating team nursing and a unit-based case manager.
    • To assess the cost-effectiveness and impact on patient outcomes of this integrated model.
    • To determine the feasibility of this model for resource-limited hospital settings.

    Main Methods:

    • A quality improvement team comprising nursing managers and staff nurses designed and implemented the new system.
