Theory M: A restructuring process.
Abstract
Through the Nursing Incentive Reimbursement Award (NIRA) Program initiated by the New Jersey Department of Health, a medical center tested, over a two-year time frame, the impact of a staff-developed "Theory M" nursing model. Three nursing units served as control groups and one as the experimental group that incorporated the following features: restructuring of a nursing unit through the redefinition of roles; modifying nurse staffing patterns to change existing ratio of RNs to NAs; incorporating matrix management principles; developing, implementing and evaluating training and educational programs; and renovating a nursing unit.
