Preparing the paper

As the nurse executive of your organization, you must reexamine your current nursing care delivery model (your current model is total-patient-care) and propose a new model to reduce costs and improve the quality of healthcare for your organization.

However, in the recent past, health human resources shortage, limited budget, and safety and quality issues have resulted in the development of more suitable or redesigning of the existing nursing care delivery models (Havaei et al., 2019a).  The organization under consideration uses the Total-Patient-Care Model for nursing care delivery. The framework is one of the oldest systems and it involves having one nurse to organize, plan, and perform all care to a group of patients (Havaei et al., 2019b). A study by Havaei et al. (2019b) illustrates that the Total-Patient-Care model is associated with poor quality delivery of services compared to other programs, such as a team-based system. It also has limited safety outcomes compared to a skill-mix model. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a new system that addressed the drawbacks associated with the Total-Patient-Care model. In this regard, the study aims to suggest a new nursing care delivery model that will reduce costs, improve quality and…Please click the icon below to purchase the full answer at only $10.
