ting a Professional Practice Model in the ER
A 5 page paper discussing the benefits of the professional practice model and suggesting implementation in the ER. The development of professional practice models is a rather recent innovation growing from a variety of needs and goals. One of these goals lies in achieving higher standards of practice in nursing; another is gaining more improved patient outcomes. Another relates to the still-evolving nature of health care in general. The cost of health care delivery has been problematic for years; cost-related crisis levels have arrived at largely the same time that technology advances rapidly to give even greater choices in determining plans of care.
