ORDER NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT;Case Discussion: Care Models

DQ2 Discussion Question 2: Care Models and the Nurse Leader There are many ways to organize and deliver nursing care to individual patients and groups of patients. Groups of patients with similar symptoms or like disease diagnoses are referred to as aggregates. There are many different ways nurse leaders organize and determine how the work should be distributed for individuals and aggregate patient populations. Regardless of the care model selected, nurse leaders have many variables to balance to find the right care model that meets and satisfies all key stakeholders. For example, it is not enough to use a care model that meets the nurses’ needs and preferences; finding the balance between comprehensive patient care and satisfaction and nurse satisfaction is required. Patients must have their healthcare needs met and be satisfied, and nurses must be satisfied and want to work in the healthcare organization.
