Nursing care delivery models

This module reviewed nursing care delivery models, staffing, and scheduling. There are several methods for designing staffing models which then, in turn, support the development of a schedule. Using your experiences to this point, answer the following:

1- Which nursing care delivery models have you seen in your clinical hospital rotations?

2- Are hospitals required to have a staffing plan? How does acuity drive staffing?

3- Have you observed any adverse outcomes for a patient related to staffing, if so what?
