Streamlining patient care documentation.

One of the most challenging realities faced by practicing nurses is patient care documentation. Miller and Pastorino have estimated that nurses currently spend more than 15% of their day in documentation activities. This documentation is essential in describing the care provided and the patient's response to that care. Today, a concise, efficient, and effective documentation system is urgently needed. The answer is the merging of the traditional patient care plan with the nursing care management MAP. This merger combines the proactive approach of multidisciplinary care found in nursing case management with the best concepts of the care plan.

Case management: a bottom-line care delivery model. Part 1: The concept.

Nurse executives have been challenged to "reinvent" hospital-based nursing through alternative care delivery models. These models also help eliminate a major barrier to quality: the lack of understanding and ability to control the care delivery process. The authors discuss a collaborative and multidisciplinary case management model which promises to positively affect the institution's total bottom-line patient, staff, and system, including financial, outcomes.
