What kind of nursing delivery system are you using on your unit (team, functional, primary care, total patient care, case management, something else?)

Hello,

I am asking for a Nursing Administrator at the hospital here about what kinds of nursing management models/nursing management system/model are used on your Medical-Surgical Units. Whether its: team nursing/modular nursing, total patient care nursing, primary care nursing, case management style nursing, functional nursing/progressive nursing nursing or some other system/model. If you can tell us what you are using and how that is working for you. Any information would be appreciated.

We are building a new hospital here in about 3 years so are looking for something more effective (not task-oriented). Any information would be appreciated. Even anecdotal information.

Thank-you in advance for your help,

We use primary care. There is an RN and a CNA assigned to each patient.
