8 Steps for Making Effective Nurse-Patient Assignments

This article appears on page 14 of

South Dakota Nurse November 2018

Reprinted from American Nurse Today

Successful assignments require attention to the needs of both nurses and patients.

YOUR MANAGER wants you to learn how to make nurse­ patient assignments. What? Already? When did you be­came a senior nurse on your floor? But you’re up to the challenge and ready to learn the process.

Nurse-patient assignments help coordinate daily unit activities, matching nurses with patients to meet unit and patient needs for a specific length of time. If you are new to this challenge, try these eight tips as a guide for making nurse-patient assignments.

1. Find a mentor

Most nurses learn to make nurse-patient assignments from a colleague. Consider asking if you can observe your charge nurse make assignments. Ask questions to learn what factors are taken into consideration for each assignment. Nurses who make assignments are aware of their importance and are serious in their efforts to consider every piece of information when making them. By asking questions, you’ll better understand how priorities are set and the thought that’s given to each assignment. Making nurse-patient assignments is challenging, but with your mentor’s help, you’ll move from novice to competent in no time.

2. Gather your supplies (knowledge)

Before completing any nursing task, you need to gather your supplies. In this case, that means knowledge. You’ll need information about the unit, the nurses, and the patients. (See What you need to know.) Some of this information you already know, and some you’ll need to gather. But make sure you have everything you need before you begin making assignments. Missing and unknown information is dangerous and may jeopardize patient and staff safety. The unit and its environment will set the foundation for your assignments. The environment (unit physical layout, average patient length of stay [LOS]) defines your process and assignment configuration (nurse-to-patient ratios). You’re probably familiar with your unit’s layout and patient flow, but do you know the average LOS or nurse-to-patient ratios? Do you know what time of day most admissions and discharges occur or the timing of certain daily activities? And do other nursing duties need to be covered (rapid response, on call to another unit)? Review your unit’s policy and procedures manual for unit staffing and assignment guidelines. The American Nurses Association’s ANA ‘s Principles for Nurse Staffing 2nd edition also is an excellent resource.

Review the assignment sheet or whiteboard used on your unit. It has clues to the information you need. It provides the framework for the assignment-making process, including staff constraints, additional duties that must be covered, and patient factors most important on your unit. Use the electronic health record (EHR) to generate various useful pieces of patient information. You also can use the census sheet, patient acuity list, or other documents of nursing activity, such as a generic hospital patient summary or a unit-specific patient report that includes important patient factors.

Depending on your unit, the shift, and the patient population, you’ll need to consider different factors when making assignments. Ask yourself these ques­tions: What patient information is important for my unit? Does my unit generate a patient acuity or work­load factor? What are the time-consuming tasks on my unit (medications, dressing changes, psychosocial support, total care, isolation)? Which patients require higher surveillance or monitoring? Finally, always talk to the clinical nurses caring for the patients. Patient conditions change faster than they can be documented in the EHR, so rely on the clinical nurses to confirm each patient’s acuity and individual nurses’ workloads. Nurses want to be asked for input about their patients’ condition, and they’re your best resource.

Now ask yourself: How well do I know the other nurses on my unit? This knowledge is the last piece of information you need before you can make assignments. The names of the nurses assigned to the shift can be found on the unit schedule or a staffing list from a centralized staffing office. If you know the nurses and have worked with them, you’ll be able to determine who has the most and least experience, who’s been on the floor the longest, and who has specialty certifications. You’ll also want to keep in mind who the newest nurses are and who’s still on orientation.

3. Decide on the process

Now that you’ve gathered the information you need, you’re ready to develop your plan for assigning nurses. This step usually combines the unit layout with your patient flow. Nurses typically use one of three processes–area, direct, or group–to make assignments. (See Choose your process.)

4. Set priorities for the shift

The purpose of nurse-patient assignments is to provide the best and safest care to patients, but other goals will compete for consideration and priority. This is where making assignments gets difficult. You’ll need to consider continuity of care, new nurse orientation, patient requests and satisfaction, staff well-being, fairness, equal distribution of the workload, nurse development, and workload completion.

5. Make the assignments

Grab your writing instrument and pencil in that first nurse’s name. This first match should satisfy your highest priority. For example, if nurse and any other returning nurses are reassigned to the patients they had on their previous shift. If, however, you have a complex patient with a higher-than-average acuity, you just assigned your best nurse to this patient. After you’ve satisfied your highest priority, move to your next highest priority and match nurses with unassigned patients and areas.

Sounds easy, right? Frequently, though, you’ll be faced with competing priorities that aren’t easy to rate, and completing the assignments may take a few tries. You want to satisfy as many of your priorities as you can while also delivering safe, quality nursing care to patients. You’ll shuffle, move, and change assignments many times before you’re satisfied that you’ve maximized your priorities and the potential for positive outcomes. Congratulate yourself–the nurse-patient assignments are finally made.

6. Adjust the assignments

You just made the assignments, so why do you need to adjust them? The nurse-patient assignment list is a living, breathing document. It involves people who are constantly changing–their conditions improve and deteriorate, they’re admitted and discharged, and their nursing needs can change in an instant. The assignment process requires constant evaluation and reevaluation of information and priorities. And that’s why the assignments are usually written in pencil on paper or in marker on a dry-erase board. As the charge nurse, you must communicate with patients and staff throughout the shift and react to changing needs by updating assignments. Your goal is to ensure patients receive the best care possible; how that’s ac­complished can change from minute to minute.

7. Evaluate success

What’s the best way to eval­uate the success of your nurse-patient assignments? Think back to your priorities and goals. Did all the patients receive safe, quality care? Did you maintain continuity of care? Did the new nurse get the best orientation experience? Were the assignments fair? Measure success based on patient and nurse outcomes.

Check in with the nurses and patients to get their feedback. Ask how the assignment went. Did everyone get his or her work done? Were all the patients’ needs met? What could have been done better? Get specifics. Transparency is key here. Explain your rationale for each assignment (including your focus on patient safety) and keep in mind that you have more information than the nurses. You’re directing activity across the entire unit, so you see the big picture. Your colleagues will be much more understanding when you share your perspective. When you speak with patients, ask about their experiences and if all their needs were met.

8. Keep practicing

Nurse-patient assignments never lose their complexity, but you’ll get better at recognizing potential pitfalls and maximizing patient and nurse outcomes. Keep practicing and remember that good assignments contribute to nurses’ overall job satisfaction.

What you need to know

Before you make decisions about nurse-patient assignments, you need as much information as possible about your unit, nurses, and patients.

Competence •    Certification •    Education •    Efficiency •    Experience •    Knowledge/knowledge deficit •    Licensure •    Orienting •    Skills •    Speed •    Status (float, travel)

Choose your process

Your nurse-patient assignment process may be dictated by unit layout, patient census, or nurse-to-patient ratio. Most nurses use one of three assignment processes.

Area assignment This process involves assigning nurses and patients to areas. If you work in the emergency department (ED) or postanesthesia care unit (PACU), you likely make nurse-patient assignments this way. A nurse is assigned to an area, such as triage in the ED or Beds 1 and 2 in the PACU, and then patients are assigned to each area throughout the shift.

Direct assignment The second option is to assign each nurse directly to a patient. This process works best on units with a lower patient census and nurse-to-patient ratio. For example, on a higher-acuity unit, such as an intensive care unit, the nurse is matched with one or two patients, so a direct assignment is made.

Group assignment With the third option, you assign patients to groups and then assign the nurse to a group. Bigger units have higher censuses and nurse-to-patient ratios (1:5 or 1:6). They also can have unique physical features or layouts that direct how assign­ments are made. A unit might be separated by hallways, divided into pods, or just too large for one nurse to safely provide care to patients in rooms at opposite ends of the unit. So, grouping patients together based on unit geography and other acuity/workload factors may be the safest and most effective way to make assignments.

You also can combine processes. For example, in a labor and delivery unit, you can assign one nurse to the triage area (area process) while another nurse is as­signed to one or two specific patients (direct process). Unit characteristics direct your process for making assignments. Your process will remain the same unless your unit’s geography or patient characteristics (length of stay, nurse-patient ra­tio) change.

The Nursing Process: A Comprehensive Guide

In 1958, Ida Jean Orlando began developing the nursing process still evident in nursing care today. According to Orlando’s theory, the patient’s behavior sets the nursing process in motion. Through the nurse ‘s knowledge to analyze and diagnose the behavior to determine the patient’s needs.

Application of the fundamental principles of critical thinking , client-centered approaches to treatment, goal-oriented tasks, evidence-based practice (EBP) recommendations, and nursing intuition, the nursing process functions as a systematic guide to client-centered care with five subsequent steps. These are assessment , diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation ( ADPIE ).

The nursing process is defined as a systematic, rational method of planning that guides all nursing actions in delivering holistic and patient-focused care. The nursing process is a form of scientific reasoning and requires the nurse’s critical thinking to provide the best care possible to the client.

What is the purpose of the nursing process?

The following are the purposes of the nursing process:

• To identify the client’s health status and actual or potential health care problems or needs (through assessment).
• To establish plans to meet the identified needs.
• To deliver specific nursing interventions to meet those needs.
• To apply the best available caregiving evidence and promote human functions and responses to health and illness (ANA, 2010).
• To protect nurses against legal problems related to nursing care when the standards of the nursing process are followed correctly.
• To help the nurse perform in a systematically organized way their practice.
• To establish a database about the client’s health status, health concerns, response to illness, and the ability to manage health care needs.

The following are the unique characteristics of the nursing process: 

• Patient-centered . The unique approach of the nursing process requires care respectful of and responsive to the individual patient’s needs, preferences, and values. The nurse functions as a patient advocate by keeping the patient’s right to practice informed decision-making and maintaining patient-centered engagement in the health care setting.
• Interpersonal . The nursing process provides the basis for the therapeutic process in which the nurse and patient respect each other as individuals, both of them learning and growing due to the interaction. It involves the interaction between the nurse and the patient with a common goal.
• Collaborative . The nursing process functions effectively in nursing and inter-professional teams, promoting open communication, mutual respect, and shared decision-making to achieve quality patient care .
• Dynamic and cyclical .The nursing process is a dynamic, cyclical process in which each phase interacts with and is influenced by the other phases.
• Requires critical thinking . The use of the nursing process requires critical thinking which is a vital skill required for nurses in identifying client problems and implementing interventions to promote effective care outcomes.

The nursing process consists of five steps: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation . The acronym ADPIE is an easy way to remember the components of the nursing process. Nurses need to learn how to apply the process step-by-step. However, as critical thinking develops through experience, they learn how to move back and forth among the steps of the nursing process.

The steps of the nursing process are not separate entities but overlapping, continuing subprocesses. Apart from understanding nursing diagnoses and their definitions, the nurse promotes awareness of defining characteristics and behaviors of the diagnoses, related factors to the selected nursing diagnoses, and the interventions suited for treating the diagnoses.

The steps of the nursing process are detailed below:

1. Assessment: “What data is collected?”

The first phase of the nursing process is assessment . It involves collecting, organizing, validating, and documenting the clients’ health status. This data can be obtained in a variety of ways. Usually, when the nurse first encounters a patient, the nurse is expected to assess to identify the patient’s health problems as well as the physiological, psychological, and emotional state and to establish a database about the client’s response to health concerns or illness and the ability to manage health care needs. Critical thinking skills are essential to the assessment, thus requiring concept-based curriculum changes.

Data collection is the process of gathering information regarding a client’s health status. The process must be systematic and continuous in collecting data to prevent the omission of important information concerning the client.

The best way to collect data is through head-to-toe assessment. Learn more about it at our guide: Head to Toe Assessment: Complete Physical Assessment Guide

Types of Data

Data collected about a client generally falls into objective or subjective categories, but data can also be verbal and nonverbal. 

Objective data are overt, measurable, tangible data collected via the senses, such as sight, touch , smell , or hearing , and compared to an accepted standard, such as vital signs, intake and output , height and weight, body temperature, pulse, and respiratory rates, blood pressure , vomiting , distended abdomen, presence of edema , lung sounds, crying, skin color, and presence of diaphoresis.

Subjective data involve covert information, such as feelings, perceptions, thoughts, sensations, or concerns that are shared by the patient and can be verified only by the patient, such as nausea , pain , numbness, pruritus, attitudes, beliefs, values, and perceptions of the health concern and life events.

Verbal data are spoken or written data such as statements made by the client or by a secondary source. Verbal data requires the listening skills of the nurse to assess difficulties such as slurring, tone of voice, assertiveness, anxiety , difficulty in finding the desired word, and flight of ideas.

Nonverbal data are observable behavior transmitting a message without words, such as the patient’s body language, general appearance , facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, proxemics (distance), body language, touch, posture, clothing. Nonverbal data obtained can sometimes be more powerful than verbal data, as the client’s body language may not be congruent with what they really think or feel. Obtaining and analyzing nonverbal data can help reinforce other forms of data and understand what the patient really feels.

Sources of Data

Sources of data can be primary, secondary, and tertiary . The client is the primary source of data, while family members , support persons, records and reports, other health professionals, laboratory and diagnostics fall under secondary sources.

The client is the only primary source of data and the only one who can provide subjective data. Anything the client says or reports to the members of the healthcare team is considered primary.

A source is considered secondary data if it is provided from someone else other than the client but within the client’s frame of reference. Information provided by the client’s family or significant others are considered secondary sources of data if the client cannot speak for themselves, is lacking facts and understanding, or is a child. Additionally, the client’s records and assessment data from other nurses or other members of the healthcare team are considered secondary sources of data.

Sources from outside the client’s frame of reference are considered tertiary sources of data . Examples of tertiary data include information from textbooks, medical and nursing journals, drug handbooks, surveys, and policy and procedural manuals.

Methods of Data Collection

The main methods used to collect data are health interviews, physical examination, and observation.

The most common approach to gathering important information is through an interview. An interview is an intended communication or a conversation with a purpose, for example, to obtain or provide information, identify problems of mutual concern, evaluate change, teach, provide support, or provide counseling or therapy. One example of the interview is the nursing health history , which is a part of the nursing admission assessment. Patient interaction is generally the heaviest during the assessment phase of the nursing process so rapport must be established during this step.

Aside from conducting interviews, nurses will perform physical examinations, referencing a patient’s health history, obtaining a patient’s family history, and general observation can also be used to gather assessment data. Establishing a good physical assessment would, later on, provide a more accurate diagnosis, planning, and better interventions and evaluation .

Observation is an assessment tool that depends on the use of the five senses (sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste ) to learn information about the client. This information relates to characteristics of the client’s appearance, functioning, primary relationships, and environment. Although nurses observe mainly through sight, most of the senses are engaged during careful observations such as smelling foul odors, hearing or auscultating lung and heart sounds and feeling the pulse rate and other palpable skin deformations.

Validation is the process of verifying the data to ensure that it is accurate and factual. One way to validate observations is through “double-checking,” and it allows the nurse to complete the following tasks:

• Ensures that assessment information is double-checked, verified, and complete. For example, during routine assessment, the nurse obtains a reading of 210/96 mm Hg of a client with no history of hypertension . To validate the data, the nurse should retake the blood pressure and if necessary, use another equipment to confirm the measurement or ask someone else to perform the assessment.
• Ensure that objective and related subjective data are valid and accurate. For example, the client’s perceptions of “feeling hot” need to be compared with the measurement of the body temperature.
• Ensure that the nurse does not come to a conclusion without adequate data to support the conclusion. A nurse assumes tiny purple or bluish-black swollen areas under the tongue of an older adult client to be abnormal until reading about physical changes of aging.
• Ensure that any ambiguous or vague statements are clarified. For example, a 86-year-old female client who is not a native English speaker says that “I am in pain on and off for 4 weeks,” would require verification for clarity from the nurse by asking “Can you describe what your pain is like? What do you mean by on and off?”
• Acquire additional details that may have been overlooked. For example, the nurse is asking a 32-year-old client if he is allergic to any prescription or non-prescription medications. And what would happen if he takes these medications.
• Distinguish between cues and inferences. Cues are subjective or objective data that can be directly observed by the nurse; that is, what the client says or what the nurse can see, hear, feel, smell, or measure. On the other hand, inferences are the nurse’s interpretation or conclusions made based on the cues. For example, the nurse observes the cues that the incision is red, hot, and swollen and makes an inference that the incision is infected.

Once all the information has been collected, data can be recorded and sorted. Excellent record-keeping is fundamental so that all the data gathered is documented and explained in a way that is accessible to the whole health care team and can be referenced during evaluation. 

2. Diagnosis: “What is the problem?”

The second step of the nursing process is the nursing diagnosis . The nurse will analyze all the gathered information and diagnose the client’s condition and needs. Diagnosing involves analyzing data, identifying health problems, risks, and strengths, and formulating diagnostic statements about a patient’s potential or actual health problem. More than one diagnosis is sometimes made for a single patient. Formulating a nursing diagnosis by employing clinical judgment assists in the planning and implementation of patient care .

The types, components, processes, examples, and writing nursing diagnosis are discussed more in detail here “ Nursing Diagnosis Guide: All You Need To Know To Master Diagnosing ”

3. Planning: “How to manage the problem?”

Planning is the third step of the nursing process. It provides direction for nursing interventions . When the nurse, any supervising medical staff, and the patient agree on the diagnosis, the nurse will plan a course of treatment that takes into account short and long-term goals. Each problem is committed to a clear, measurable goal for the expected beneficial outcome. 

The planning phase is where goals and outcomes are formulated that directly impact patient care based on evidence-based practice (EBP) guidelines. These patient-specific goals and the attainment of such assist in ensuring a positive outcome. Nursing care plans are essential in this phase of goal setting. Care plans provide a course of direction for personalized care tailored to an individual’s unique needs. Overall condition and comorbid conditions play a role in the construction of a care plan. Care plans enhance communication, documentation, reimbursement , and continuity of care across the healthcare continuum.

Types of Planning

Planning starts with the first client contact and resumes until the nurse-client relationship ends, preferably when the client is discharged from the health care facility.

Initial planning is done by the nurse who conducts the admission assessment. Usually, the same nurse would be the one to create the initial comprehensive plan of care.

Ongoing planning is done by all the nurses who work with the client. As a nurse obtain new information and evaluate the client’s responses to care, they can individualize the initial care plan further. An ongoing care plan also occurs at the beginning of a shift. Ongoing planning allows the nurse to:

• determine if the client’s health status has changed
• set priorities for the client during the shift
• decide which problem to focus on during the shift
• coordinate with nurses to ensure that more than one problem can be addressed at each client contact

Discharge planning is the process of anticipating and planning for needs after discharge. To provide continuity of care, nurses need to accomplish the following:

• Start discharge planning for all clients when they are admitted to any health care setting.
• Involve the client and the client’s family or support persons in the planning process.
• Collaborate with other health care professionals as needed to ensure that biopsychosocial, cultural, and spiritual needs are met.

A nursing care plan (NCP) is a formal process that correctly identifies existing needs and recognizes potential needs or risks. Care plans provide communication among nurses, their patients, and other healthcare providers to achieve health care outcomes. Without the nursing care planning process, the quality and consistency of patient care would be lost.

The planning step of the nursing process is discussed in detail in Nursing Care Plans (NCP): Ultimate Guide and Database .

4. Implementation: “Putting the plan into action!”

The implementation phase of the nursing process is when the nurse puts the treatment plan into effect. It involves action or doing and the actual carrying out of nursing interventions outlined in the plan of care. This typically begins with the medical staff conducting any needed medical interventions. 

Interventions should be specific to each patient and focus on achievable outcomes. Actions associated with a nursing care plan include monitoring the patient for signs of change or improvement, directly caring for the patient or conducting important medical tasks such as medication administration, educating and guiding the patient about further health management, and referring or contacting the patient for a follow-up.

A taxonomy of nursing interventions referred to as the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) taxonomy, was developed by the Iowa Intervention Project. The nurse can look up a client’s nursing diagnosis to see which nursing interventions are recommended. 

Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) System

There are more than 550 nursing intervention labels that nurses can use to provide the proper care to their patients. These interventions are categorized into seven fields or classes of interventions according to the Nursing Interventions Classification system.

These are interventions designed to help a patient change their behavior. With behavioral interventions, in contrast, patient behavior is the key and the goal is to modify it. The following measures are examples of behavioral nursing interventions:

• Encouraging stress and relaxation techniques
• Providing support to quit smoking
• Engaging the patient in some form of physical activity , like walking , to reduce the patient’s anxiety , anger, and hostility

These are interventions that refer to the community-wide approach to health behavior change. Instead of focusing mainly on the individual as a change agent, community interventionists recognize a host of other factors that contribute to an individual’s capacity to achieve optimal health, such as:

• Implementing an education program for first-time mothers
• Promoting diet and physical activities
• Initiating HIV awareness and violence-prevention programs
• Organizing a fun run to raise money for breast cancer research 

These are interventions that influence a patient’s entire family.

• Implementing a family-centered approach in reducing the threat of illness spreading when one family member is diagnosed with a communicable disease
• Providing a nursing woman support in breastfeeding her new baby
• Educating family members about caring for the patient

These are interventions that designed to maintain a safe medical facility for all patients and staff, such as:

• Following procedures to reduce the risk of infection for patients during hospital stays.
• Ensuring that the patient’s environment is safe and comfortable, such as repositioning them to avoid pressure ulcers in bed

These are interventions related to a patient’s physical health to make sure that any physical needs are being met and that the patient is in a healthy condition. These nursing interventions are classified into two types: basic and complex.

• Basic. Basic interventions regarding the patient’s physical health include hands-on procedures ranging from feeding to hygiene assistance.
• Complex. Some physiological nursing interventions are more complex, such as the insertion of an IV line to administer fluids to a dehydrated patient.

These are interventions that maintain a patient’s safety and prevent injuries, such as:

• Educating a patient about how to call for assistance if they are not able to safely move around on their own
• Providing instructions for using assistive devices such as walkers or canes, or how to take a shower safely.

When implementing care, nurses need cognitive, interpersonal, and technical skills to perform the care plan successfully.

• Cognitive Skills are also known as Intellectual Skills are skills involve learning and understanding fundamental knowledge including basic sciences, nursing procedures, and their underlying rationale before caring for clients. Cognitive skills also include problem-solving, decision-making, critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and creativity.
• Interpersonal Skills are skills that involve believing, behaving, and relating to others. The effectiveness of a nursing action usually leans mainly on the nurse’s ability to communicate with the patient and the members of the health care team.
• Technical Skills are purposeful “hands-on” skills such as changing a sterile dressing , administering an injection, manipulating equipment, bandaging, moving , lifting, and repositioning clients. All of these activities require safe and competent performance.

Process of Implementing

The process of implementing typically includes the following:

Prior to implementing an intervention, the nurse must reassess the client to make sure the intervention is still needed. Even if an order is written on the care plan, the client’s condition may have changed.

Other nursing tasks or activities may also be performed by non- RN members of the healthcare team. Members of this team may include unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) and caregivers , as well as other licensed healthcare workers, such as licensed practical nurses/licensed vocational nurses (LPNs/LVNs). The nurse may need assistance when implementing some nursing intervention, such as ambulating an unsteady obese client, repositioning a client, or when a nurse is not familiar with a particular model of traction equipment needs assistance the first time it is applied.

3. Implementing the nursing interventions

Nurses must not only have a substantial knowledge base of the sciences, nursing theory, nursing practice , and legal parameters of nursing interventions but also must have the psychomotor skills to implement procedures safely. It is necessary for nurses to describe, explain, and clarify to the client what interventions will be done, what sensations to anticipate, what the client is expected to do, and what the expected outcome is. When implementing care, nurses perform activities that may be independent, dependent, or interdependent.

Nursing interventions are grouped into three categories according to the role of the healthcare professional involved in the patient’s care:

A registered nurse can perform independent interventions on their own without the help or assistance from other medical personnel, such as: 

• routine nursing tasks such as checking vital signs
• educating a patient on the importance of their medication so they can administer it as prescribed

A nurse cannot initiate dependent interventions alone. Some actions require guidance or supervision from a physician or other medical professional, such as:

• prescribing new medication
• inserting and removing a urinary catheter
• providing diet
• Implementing wound or bladder irrigations

A nurse performs as part of collaborative or interdependent interventions that involve team members across disciplines.

• In some cases, such as post- surgery , the patient’s recovery plan may require prescription medication from a physician, feeding assistance from a nurse, and treatment by a physical therapist or occupational therapist.
• The physician may prescribe a specific diet to a patient. The nurse includes diet counseling in the patient care plan. To aid the patient, even more, the nurse enlists the help of the dietician that is available in the facility.

Delegate specific nursing interventions to other members of the nursing team as appropriate. Consider the capabilities and limitations of the members of the nursing team and supervise the performance of the nursing interventions. Deciding whether delegation is indicated is another activity that arises during the nursing process.

The American Nurses Association and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (2006) define delegation as “the process for a nurse to direct another person to perform nursing tasks and activities.” It generally concerns the appointment of the performance of activities or tasks associated with patient care to unlicensed assistive personnel while retaining accountability for the outcome.

Nevertheless, registered nurses cannot delegate responsibilities related to making nursing judgments. Examples of nursing activities that cannot be delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel include assessment and evaluation of the impact of interventions on care provided to the patient.

Record what has been done as well as the patient’s responses to nursing interventions precisely and concisely.

5. Evaluation: “Did the plan work?”

Evaluating is the fifth step of the nursing process. This final phase of the nursing process is vital to a positive patient outcome. Once all nursing intervention actions have taken place, the team now learns what works and what doesn’t by evaluating what was done beforehand. Whenever a healthcare provider intervenes or implements care, they must reassess or evaluate to ensure the desired outcome has been met. The possible patient outcomes are generally explained under three terms: the patient’s condition improved, the patient’s condition stabilized, and the patient’s condition worsened.

Steps in Evaluation

Nursing evaluation includes (1) collecting data, (2) comparing collected data with desired outcomes, (3) analyzing client’s response relating to nursing activities, (4) identifying factors that contributed to the success or failure of the care plan, (5) continuing, modifying, or terminating the nursing care plan , and (6) planning for future nursing care.

The nurse recollects data so that conclusions can be drawn about whether goals have been fulfilled. It is usually vital to collect both objective and subjective data. Data must be documented concisely and accurately to facilitate the next part of the evaluating process.

The documented goals and objectives of the nursing care plan become the standards or criteria by which to measure the client’s progress whether the desired outcome has been met, partially met, or not met.

• The goal was met , when the client response is the same as the desired outcome.
• The goal was partially met , when either a short-term outcome was achieved but the long-term goal was not, or the desired goal was incompletely attained.
• The goal was not met.

It is also very important to determine whether the nursing activities had any relation to the outcomes whether it was successfully accomplished or not.

It is required to collect more data to confirm if the plan was successful or a failure. Different factors may contribute to the achievement of goals. For example, the client’s family may or may not be supportive, or the client may be uncooperative to perform such activities. 

The nursing process is dynamic and cyclical. If goals were not sufficed, the nursing process begins again from the first step. Reassessment and modification may continually be needed to keep them current and relevant depending upon general patient condition. The plan of care may be adjusted based on new assessment data. Problems may arise or change accordingly. As clients complete their goals, new goals are set. If goals remain unmet, nurses must evaluate the reasons these goals are not being achieved and recommend revisions to the nursing care plan .

Discharge planning is the process of transitioning a patient from one level of care to the next. Discharge plans are individualized instructions provided as the client is prepared for continued care outside the healthcare facility or for independent living at home. The main purpose of a discharge plan is to improve the client’s quality of life by ensuring continuity of care together with the client’s family or other healthcare workers providing continuing care.

The following are the key elements of IDEAL discharge planning according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality:

• I nclude the patient and family as full partners in the discharge planning process.
• Describe what life at home will be like
• Review medications
• Highlight warning signs and problems
• Explain test results
• Schedule follow-up appointments
• E ducate the patient and family in plain language about the patient’s condition, the discharge process, and next steps throughout the hospital stay.
• A ssess how well doctors and nurses explain the diagnosis, condition, and next steps in the patient’s care to the patient and family and use teach back.
• L isten to and honor the patient’s and family’s goals, preferences, observations, and concerns. 

A discharge plan includes specific components of client teaching with documentation such as:

• Equipment needed at home. Coordinate home-based care and special equipment needed.
• Dietary needs or special diet . Discuss what the patient can or cannot eat at home.
• Medications to be taken at home. List the patient’s medications and discuss the purpose of each medicine, how much to take, how to take it, and potential side effects.
• Resources such as contact numbers and addresses of important people. Write down the name and contact information of someone to call if there is a problem.
• Emergency response: Danger signs. Identify and educate patients and families about warning signs or potential problems.
• Home care activities. Educate patient on what activities to do or avoid at home.
• Summary. Discuss with the patient and family about the patient’s condition, the discharge process, and follow-up checkups.

In CINAHL , it is sometimes possible to locate more specific terms by searching the CINAHL Subject Headings . This is done by logging into CINAHL , clicking on the link located on the top of the page, on the blue bar called, CINAHL Subject Headings .  Here is a short video that explains how to do optional activity:  https://guides.emich.edu/c.php?g=653525&p=5516023&preview=5ef4d05ab8949abfaaf109e4c93573e9

CINAHL Keywords or Search Terms Commonly Used for Nursing Research Topics

A Sample Search

In this imaginary assignment, the topic I’m interested in researching centers around patient safety and how many patients are assigned to each nurse on a given shift.

Step #1 – I look over the keywords and phrases from the table above and decide that “nurse patient ratio” and “patient safety” most closely capture my topic. So, I copy and paste the search into the CINAHL search boxes. (By the way, it doesn’t matter which keyword or phrase is placed in which search box. Each box is treated equally.)

First search box: “nurse patient ratio”

Second search box : “patient safety”

I have read my assignment’s rubric, so I know I have to select a research-based article from a peer reviewed journal from the last 10 years, and I only read and speak the English language. So, I scroll down the Advanced Search page under the Search Options section and I:

• DO NOT check the box in front of Linked Full Text

Do check the box in front of:

• Research Article
• English Language (unless I’m fluent in another language)
• Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals
• In the Published Date area, in the Year box, I type in 2010 in one box and 2020 in the other box

Nursing aims to promote health, prevent illness, care for the ill, and assist in coping with disability and terminal illness.

First, promoting health means encouraging individuals to adopt healthy habits, such as eating a balanced diet, proper stress management, and regular exercise, helps to enhance the quality of life and reduce the risk of illness.

Second, nurses participate in preventative health efforts, such as health education, prenatal care for pregnant women, immunization programs, and blood pressure screening.

Third, caring for the ill involves restoration of health by early detection, promotion of healing, rehabilitation, and education during recovery. Nurses use the best evidence-based practice to assess, diagnose, plan, implement, and evaluate patient-centered nursing care.

Fourth, the care of the disabled includes improving their strength and capability through patient education, clear communication, and referral to the community support system.

Finally, care for the terminally ill involves providing comfort by managing symptoms, assisting the patients and families in preparing for death, giving psychological support, and facilitating peaceful death while respecting the patient's culture, beliefs, values, and decisions.

Nursing involves independent, cooperative, person-centered care for people of all ages, families, groups, and communities. Nurses assist the sick or the well person in all settings. Nursing includes promoting health, preventing illness, and caring for ill, disabled, and dying people. Health promotion encourages people to take responsibility for their health. It focuses on the healthy behavior of individuals, families, and the community and the factors that impact their health. Examples of healthy behaviors include sleep hygiene and maintaining healthy relationships.

Nurses play a crucial role in health-promoting activities by assessing individual and societal needs, identifying resources, and evaluating and implementing programs to meet the needs. Illness prevention focuses on reducing the risk of illness and maintaining holistic functioning. Nurses partake in preventative health efforts, for example, by providing health education on smoking cessation.

Caring for the ill emphasizes the people who have an illness. It involves early disease identification, rehabilitation, and health education during recovery.

Care for the disabled involves improving the disabled individual's strengths and potential to the fullest. Improving an individual's strengths can be achieved via health education and referring them to community support systems.

Care for the dying involves care for the patients and their families during end-of-life care. A patient can receive end-of-life care and services in various settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and homes. The nurse assists the patients and their relatives in preparing for death and helps them live comfortably physically, psychologically, psychosocially, and spiritually.

Background: The delivery of quality, safe, and patient-centered care is foundational for professional practice. The primary nursing model allows nurses to have excellent knowledge about patients and families and to plan and coordinate care from admission to discharge, with better management of health situations. Nurses play a crucial role in improving patients’ outcomes, namely those sensitive to nursing care. The knowledge of the relationship between the primary nursing model and the nursing-sensitive outcomes provides new scientific evidence that strengthens the relevance of this nursing care organization model in the inpatients’ health outcomes. This systematic review describes the relationship between nurse-sensitive inpatients’ outcomes and the primary nursing care model. Methods: A systematic review was conducted with a narrative synthesis, and the following databases were searched: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Nursing & Allied Health Collection, SciELO Collections, and Cochrane. Results: A total of 22 full texts were assessed, of which five were included in the study according to the selection criteria. The analysis results indicated that the primary nursing care model was related to nursing-sensitive patient safety outcomes. Patients’ experience was also considered a nursing-sensitive outcome, namely in the satisfaction with nursing care. Conclusion: The negative outcomes are clearly related to the primary nursing care model. There is scarce research that relates primary nursing to positive outcomes, such as patients’ functional status and self-care abilities, and more studies are needed.

1. Introduction

The way nurses are organized and how nursing care is delivered are critical factors for quality and patients’ outcomes in hospital stays [ 1 ]. Patients’ satisfaction with care is affected by missed nursing care and the nurses’ work environment [ 2 ]. A care model can be defined as a set of frameworks, policies, and procedures that guide nursing care [ 3 ]. A professional practice model is a basis for quality, safe and patient-centered care, for nurses’ job satisfaction and provides a theoretical background that enables nurses to explain and share their practice [ 4 , 5 ]. An analysis of 38 professional practice models revealed that they were based on a clearly defined conception of nursing, relation-based care, a theoretical context, and the most incorporated core organizational values [ 4 ]. Additionally, all models found six components: leadership; nurse independence and collaboration; practice environment; research/innovation; nurse development and rewards, and patients’ outcomes [ 4 ]. According to such findings, reflection on the organization of nursing care, particularly in inpatient settings, and how these can affect patient outcomes, is of great importance to care quality and effectiveness.

Looking at models of care delivery, they can be classified as (a) functional, focusing on the execution of tasks; (b) team care, where care is provided by a team guided by a leader and including professionals with different levels of competence; (c) individualized care, where each nurse is assigned to the complete care of a set of patients in each shift; and (d) primary nursing, where the responsibility of a nurse for a group of patients occurs from admission to discharge [ 3 , 6 ]. The term primary nursing has been seen as a generic and philosophic way of providing care. Still, it needs to be applied to explain how nurses deliver care in each specific organizational context [ 7 ]. The primary nursing model allows nurses to plan and coordinate patients’ care over time based on trust relationships; this care organization is considered essential to avoid fragmentation, improve nursing documentation and achieve person-centered quality nursing care [ 8 , 9 ]. As part of primary nursing, a nurse’s role is to assess health care needs, and plan, structure, and evaluate that care while the patient is at the unit; this nurse may implement the care plan or delegate it to other team members [ 8 ].

Within hospital environments increasingly characterized by patients’ complexity, shorter stays, high readmission rates, heavy workloads, skill mixes, and suboptimal staff, nurses’ managers may perceive primary nursing as a supportive structure for care related to patient-centered care philosophy [ 6 , 10 ]. Patient-centered care is associated with satisfaction; making care more adapted and focused on the patients’ needs can contribute to better outcomes [ 11 , 12 ].

Nursing interventions related to patients’ education seem to reduce readmissions, the causes of which are related to deficiencies in knowledge about the disease, health status, treatments, or difficulty in self-care [ 13 ]. A model such as primary nursing, which foresees the existence of a reference nurse, can be a facilitator for patients’ education. Patients seemed to be more satisfied when they knew there was a nurse responsible for their care and who was available to provide information [ 1 ].

Investment in nursing resources and quality practice environments have long been known as critical factors in achieving better patients’ outcomes and ensuring the quality of care [ 14 , 15 ]. The nurses’ performance-sensitive indicators are the result of the interaction among the available resources, the environment, the interventions, and patients’ outcomes [ 16 ]. Five nursing-sensitive outcome indicators were identified, (1) patients’ well-being, which includes interventions regarding the satisfaction of daily living needs and symptoms management; (2) safety and risk factors, which can include falls, medication errors, pressure ulcers or urinary tract infections; (3) empowerment, which reflects changes in patients’ behaviors related to nursing interventions; (4) functional status, including physical, psychosocial and cognitive status, resulting from nursing interventions; and (5) satisfaction with the care experience, which reflects the link between patients’ expectations and the perception of the actual outcomes obtained with the nursing care provided [ 16 , 17 ].

A systematic review that analyzed studies conducted between January 1990 and March 2013 in surgical, medical, orthopedic, and maternity settings on primary nursing as a method of care delivery and its association with patient outcomes concluded that this practice only had a positive impact on the care of women and their children in the maternity ward [ 18 ]. The authors stated that future research must attempt to relate the primary nursing model to nursing-sensitive patients’ outcomes, in particular medication errors, duration of treatments, the prevalence of infections in hospital stays, and health service utilization [ 18 ]. The studies found were scarce and not robust. Further studies with a more rigorous design would be helpful to develop research concerning the relationship between the primary nursing model on patients’ and nurses’ outcomes [ 19 ].

This systematic review clarified how the primary nursing care model is related to nursing-sensitive inpatients’ outcomes, namely the relation between nursing interventions and inpatients’ experiences. Currently, thinking about the quality of nursing care is imperative in any context. One of the possible ways to assess the quality of care is to use indicators obtained from patients related to the outcomes of nursing interventions. Other studies have identified patients’ satisfaction with respect as an indicator, but it is believed that it would be more relevant to focus on the broader concept of the patient experience. Thus, an objective and two questions were identified for this systematic review. In the first step, it was considered crucial to see whether any association was found between nursing-sensitive outcomes and this model of care for patients in hospital settings, and in the second step, an attempt was made to understand whether this model of nursing care may have any association with the inpatient experience. It is expected that the more we know about the effects that the organization of care may have on patients, the more we will be able to adapt care to their real needs and expectations.

This systematic review described the relationship between nursing-sensitive inpatients’ outcomes and the primary nursing care model.

Review questions:

(1) Is there any evidence regarding the association between nursing-sensitive outcomes and a primary nursing care model for inpatients?

(2) Is the primary nursing care model described as being associated with changes in the inpatients’ experience?

2. Materials and Methods

The guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) were used to report on this review [ 20 ].

2.1. Search Strategy

The search approach was to find the available texts and was preceded by an exploratory search to find the most accurate terms (indexed and free) aiming for a sensitive main search according to the review goals. CINAHL and MEDLINE were the databases searched through EBSCOhost in the first phase, and all titles, abstracts, keywords, and terms considered relevant for describing the articles that were identified. Afterward, a full search was conducted in the databases using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and other vocabulary structured according to the databases, as well as free terms. The full search was performed in June 2021. The combined search terms were: “chronic disease” or “chronic conditions,” or “inpatients,” or “acute care” or “wards,” and “primary nursing” or “primary nursing model” and “models of nursing care” or “nursing care delivery systems” and “patients’ outcomes” or “nursing-sensitive outcomes” or “patients’ satisfaction” or “patients’ experience”. The search was updated in October 2022. The complete search strategies are provided in Appendix A . The references of the selected articles were analyzed. The complete search was carried out in the following databases: Nursing & Allied Health Collection, Web of Science Core Collection, and via the EBSCOhost platform, and the databases CINAHL Plus with Full Text and MEDLINE with Full Text, SciELO Collections, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, RCAAP (Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal) were also searched using the following terms: inpatients, primary nursing, and patients’ outcomes.

2.2. Selection Process

This review included studies (1) whose subjects were 18 years of age or older and admitted to acute care units; (2) studies concerning the use of primary nursing and inpatients’ nursing-sensitive outcomes, namely those related to nursing interventions: promoting patients’ comfort and quality of life; preventing medication-related errors, patients’ falls, pressure ulcers and urinary tract infections, patients’ empowerment, as well as functional status; and (3) studies on inpatients’ experience, namely satisfaction with nursing care.

The studies included patients from all medical and surgical specialties admitted to acute care wards. There was no limitation on the geographic location. The included studies were primary research studies using quantitative methods, namely randomized controlled trials and non-randomized controlled trials, case–control, cohort, and before-and-after studies. Secondary reviews or synthesized evidence of primary research studies, namely systematic reviews, have been excluded. Full-text studies available in the English, Spanish and Portuguese languages were considered. The search considered the date of publication from the 2000s to 2022, as the phenomenon of health outcomes and their association with nursing care began to be more systematically studied from the last decade of the 20th century [ 21 ]. Studies that solely analyzed the relation of the primary nursing care model with professionals were excluded.

2.3. Data Extraction

The titles and abstracts collected by the search strategy were independently analyzed by two authors (I.G. and D.A.M.) regarding the inclusion criteria to determine those eligible for full-text reading and analysis, and the results were compared. The articles selected by consensus were uploaded to Mendeley Reference Manager 2.79.0 Mendeley Ltd, read in total, and it was decided which ones were eligible for the study. The reason for exclusion is shown in the -Prisma flow diagram in the results section. The same authors collected data from the review articles using a specific tool. The information contained in the tool includes the article title and authors, year of publication, research design, settings, and participants (sample and characteristics), outcome measurement and conclusions. Disagreements at either stage were resolved through discussion until agreement.

2.4. Outcomes

The outcomes searched for in the analyzed studies were the nursing-sensitive patients’ outcomes with the primary nursing model. The outcomes were selected according to Dubois et al. [ 16 ], namely: (a) falls; (b) medication errors; (c) urinary infections; and (d) pressure ulcers. The outcomes to measure the patients’ experience are: (1) nursing interventions addressing patient self-care and safety; (2) symptom management; (3) satisfaction with nursing care; and (4) discharge planning. These results have also been agreed among several authors to be sensitive to nursing care [ 22 , 23 , 24 ].

2.5. Quality Assessment of Studies

According to Armijo-Olivo et al. [ 25 ], the “Effective Public Health Practice Project” (EPHPP) uses a more generic scale that allows a broader range of study designs to be assessed that includes RCTs, observational studies, cohort, case–control, or other studies. The EPHPP tool was applied to analyze the five studies’ quality. The tool incorporates six dimensions: (a) selection bias; (b) design; (c) confounders; (d) blinding; (e) data collection methods; and (f) withdrawals and drop-outs. The tool guidelines state that each component is scored as strong (1 point), moderate (2 points), or weak (3 points), and the average score for each dimension is calculated to provide the total score. According to their overall ranking, studies were allocated a quality grade of weak, moderate, or strong. The global ranking for each study was determined by considering the rankings of the six dimensions. All studies without weak scores were classified as strong. Those with one weak score were categorized as moderate. Finally, the studies with two or more weak scores were classified as weak. The minimum scores of studies to be included have not been defined previously [ 25 , 26 ]. Quality assessment was conducted by two independent reviewers and reviewed by three, also independently. To increase the level of reliability, the Kappa index was calculated to test the agreement between the two primary reviewers. Disagreements between the reviewers were debated until an agreement was reached.

2.6. Data Synthesis and Analysis

The studies included in this systematic review were summarized in a table presenting the main characteristics of each study, including the study title, authors and year of publication, research design, settings, and participants (characterization of the hospital and sample), the instruments used in the measurement of outcomes and the main findings. The studies analyzed used different methodologies and instruments to measure the same outcomes, which made a meta-analysis unviable [ 27 , 28 ], so a narrative synthesis was used to present the results.

Following the presentation of the studies’ characteristics, they were analyzed for quality regarding selection bias, study design, confounder blinding, data collection method, and withdrawals/dropouts using an assessment instrument applied to each study. The results of this analysis are presented in a table. The results of the studies were grouped to answer the purpose of the study and the research questions. Three groups were found: the first group identified the scope in which the primary nursing model of care was analyzed in each study; the second group identified the relationship between the primary nursing model of care and inpatients’ sensitive nursing outcomes; and the third group analyzed the relationship between the primary nursing model of care and inpatients’ experience. A fourth group was created concerning a set of other varied outcomes found in the studies that did not fall within the scope of this review but were considered relevant to be presented because they have an impact on professionals and may indirectly influence the analyzed outcomes.

3.1. Study Selection

Through the search performed in the databases, 1665 papers were identified: Web of Science Core Collection = 1316, Scielo Citation Index = 46, CINAHL Plus with Full Text = 68, MEDLINE with Full Text = 201, Nursing & Allied Health Collection = 20, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials = 14. The titles and abstracts of 1567 articles were analyzed after duplicate removal. No reports were obtained through the Open Access Scientific Repository. The main reasons for excluding studies by title and abstract were that they needed to analyze the outcomes of applying the primary nursing model or focus on the hospital setting; some studies were eliminated due to inappropriate participants and the full text not available. The search findings are fully described and presented in a PRISMA flow diagram ( Figure 1 ).

3.2. Study Characteristics

This systematic review included five studies [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. All studies are recent, with three published in 2020, one in 2019, and another in 2018. Two studies were conducted in Asia, one in China and one in Israel; two are European, one from Italy and one from Switzerland; there was also a study from South America, namely Brazil. All analyses were conducted in large acute care hospitals, two of which were university hospitals. Four of the studies have samples of more than 300 participants [ 29 , 30 , 32 , 33 ], and one study had only 96 subjects as a sample [ 31 ]. One of the studies was a quasi-experimental study [ 29 ], and the remaining were cross-sectional studies. The average length of stay varies between 5.7 and 6 days in three studies; two studies do not mention it. The results of four studies refer to patients and nurses, and only one study reported results exclusively for patients related to primary nursing. Table 1 synthesizes the characteristics of the five selected articles.

3.3. Quality Assessment of Studies

Table 2 presents the authors’ final quality rating of the five studies. Two studies were classified as strong, two considered moderate, and one as weak [ 25 , 26 ]. Agreement on the quality of studies between authors using Kappa statistics with linear weighting, with a 95% confidence interval, was an almost perfect consensus (0.816) [ 34 ].

3.4. The Use of the Primary Nursing Care Model in Inpatients’ Outcomes

The effect of implementing the primary nursing care model on patients, namely nursing-sensitive outcomes, and satisfaction with care, was studied by Dal Molin et al. [ 29 ]. With the use of the model, there was a small increase in some of the nurses’ competencies, namely in the helping role, in such diagnostics, managing situations, and teaching or coaching the patients. The implementation of primary nursing ensured that (1) each patient had a designated nurse with responsibility for their nursing interventions, (2) an individual nursing care plan was developed for each patient, and (3) a discharge plan was established for patients [ 29 ].

The Naef et al. [ 30 ] study explored the benefits of using the primary nursing model on care coordination, patient-centered care, and care quality perceived by patients.

The authors concluded that central patients had a designated primary nurse, and admission evaluations and care planning were accomplished within 48 h; most patients had discharge planning activities documented in the records; and in about 50.0% of patients staying for seven days or more, weekly monitoring assessments and adjustments to the care plan were made by the primary nurse. Implementing the primary nursing model has reduced missing care by around 80.0 %, increasing the quality of patients’ care [ 31 ]. Likewise, Chen et al. [ 33 ] concluded that the length of the patient stay was shorter after using the primary nursing model.

The study of Tonkikhon et al. [ 32 ], where the primary nursing model was not used, concluded that, on average, patients had allocated the same nurse less than twice and received care from seven different nurses throughout their hospitalization; 21.0% of inpatients between two and seven days were never allocated the same nurse on successive days, and 81.0% of these patients were allocated a different nurse on each work shift. The authors mentioned that dispersion in nurses’ assignments to patients interferes negatively with relational continuity, the inpatients’ experience, and the preservation of their cognitive status, especially in the elderly.

3.5. Primary Nursing Care Model and Inpatients’ Nursing-Sensitive Outcomes

Two studies reported the relationship between the primary nursing model and nursing-sensitive patients’ outcomes, namely: venous catheter-related infection, pressure ulcers, falls, as well as medication errors and urinary infection [ 29 , 33 ]. The Chen et al. [ 33 ] study, applying multilevel statistical models, found that nurses reported fewer adverse events in 2016 after implementing the primary nursing model than in 2009 before using this model, controlling for nurse-level covariates (nurses’ characteristics). Similarly, the study by Dal Molin et al. [ 29 ] also found that the incidence of adverse events decreased following the use of the primary nursing model, such as pressure ulcer, patients fall, urinary infection, infection of peripheral and central venous catheters. The study of Tonkikh et al. [ 32 ] does not relate patients’ outcomes to primary nursing, but reports that patients who had the highest care continuity, i.e., a single nurse assigned on consecutive days, was similar to the number of patients who had lower levels of disease severity, comorbidities and impaired cognitive status at discharge compared to admission baseline. The remaining two studies do not report patients’ outcomes to nursing care.

3.6. Primary Nursing Care Model and Inpatients’ Experience

Four of the analyzed studies reported results related to the patients’ experience with care [ 29 , 30 , 32 , 33 ]. Two of them addressed the satisfaction with hospital care experience [ 29 , 32 ]. Dal Molin et al. [ 29 ] concluded that there was an increase in patients’ satisfaction with the care provided by nurses, and the use of the primary nursing model had a medium effect on this outcome. The hospitalized patients with the highest values regarding the assignment of the same nurse for successive days showed the highest values of satisfaction with the care experience [ 32 ]. A couple of studies [ 30 , 33 ] refer to patients’ views on nursing care quality. According to Naef et al. [ 30 ], 96.5% of patients reported high overall nursing quality, and the attributes of responsiveness, proficiency and individuality of patient-centered nursing care scored highly (>90.0%). The coordination of care attributes was considered lower. As reported by Chen et al. [ 33 ], for patients, hospital ratings in 2016 following the adoption of the primary nursing model, with a score of 9 or 10 (scores of 8 to 10 are the best rating) increased compared to patients in 2009, controlling for patient-level covariates (length of hospital stay). Two studies analyzed the care quality through the nurses’ point of view [ 31 , 33 ]. Four months following the application of primary nursing model, according to the nurses there was an increase above 40.0% in the following activities, (1), ambulate thrice a day or as prescribed, (2) mobilization of patients every two hours, (3) preparation of meals for autonomous patients, (4) response to light call is initiated within five minutes, (5) attending interdisciplinary care conferences whenever they take place, and (6) sitting the patient out of bed [ 31 ]. According to Chen et al. [ 33 ], the length of patient stay in 2016, following the adoption of primary nursing model, was shorter than in 2009 before the use of this model. The rating of patients’ care quality “excellent” obtained from the nurses’ questionnaire increased 1.71 times in 2016 compared to 2009, controlling for nurse-level covariates (nurses’ characteristics).

3.7. Other Outcomes

The analysis revealed that three studies reported the results of using the primary nursing model among nurses. The nurses’ level of leadership increased, the team’s environment improved, as well as the satisfaction with the performance of teamwork [ 29 , 31 ]. The nurses’ demographic and professional characteristics did not influence the adherence to the primary nursing model or the perception of the model’s benefits [ 30 ].

4. Discussion

The current paper systematically reviewed five studies to synthesize their findings regarding using the primary nursing model and its association with patients’ outcomes. Few studies on this topic were found in the literature, although the primary nursing model has been regarded as the preferred model for delivering care [ 18 ]. The studies were recent, and observational studies were the most common. Therefore, no significant and comprehensive conclusions could be reached about the influence of the nursing care organization model on patients’ outcomes. However, the analyzed studies allowed identifying some advantages of using primary nursing, namely in the continuity of care, the relationship established with patients, their relatives, to encourage self-care and reduce missing care. Adverse outcomes were associated with missing care, and these are partly a consequence of the organization of nursing care; on the other hand, patients’ engagement in their own self-care process is more effective and safer when they are encouraged by nurses with whom they build a relationship. As main results, we can conclude that there seems to be a relationship between primary nursing and adverse events between primary nursing and patients’ experience in the dimension of satisfaction with nursing care. Adverse outcomes were associated with missing care, partially a consequence of the organization of nursing care. With the primary nursing model, some advantages were identified, namely in the continuity of care, the relationship established between nurses, patients, and relatives, the encouragement to self-care, and the reduction of missing care. Patients’ involvement in their self-care process is more effective and safer when they are encouraged by nurses with whom they build a relationship [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. However, the conclusions were not significant and comprehensive enough about the influence of the nursing care organization model on patient outcomes.

Two of the analyzed studies [ 29 , 33 ] centered on the relationship between the primary nursing care model and nursing-sensitive patients’ outcomes. The implementation of the primary nursing care model seems to relate to patients’ outcomes, namely the reduction of venous catheter-related infections, pressure ulcers falls, medication errors and urinary infections. These indicators are nursing performance-sensitive; they evaluate modifications in patients’ status because of interaction between the efficient management of nursing resources and their becoming quality services [ 16 , 39 ]. The analyzed papers revealed that the indicators are mostly associated with negative occurrences, such as adverse events or complications. No positive indicators related to nursing care were found, namely the patients’ involvement with health care, their functional status, or self-care skills [ 16 ]. The study of Tonkikh et al. [ 32 ] does not associate patients’ outcomes with the primary nursing model but relates the assignment of the same nurse to patients on consecutive days with lower disease severity and comorbidities as well as better cognitive status at discharge. This is consistent with recent research suggesting that when patients are encouraged, coached, and supported by nurses, they are more active and involved in their self-care during hospitalization [ 13 ]. Two studies did not analyze patients’ outcomes and their association with the primary nursing model. We could conclude from the studies’ analysis that the primary nursing care model seems to be related to nursing-sensitive patients’ outcomes, particularly to undesirable events such as adverse events.

Patients experience is one indicator of the quality of care provided throughout hospitalization; nursing care has a significant weight in this equation, and perhaps that is why four of the analyzed studies present results on this topic [ 29 , 30 , 32 , 33 ]. These studies indicate that the primary nursing model improves satisfaction with nursing care and, consequently, global satisfaction with a hospital stay. Satisfaction is also associated with the patients being assigned the same nurse on consecutive days. Nurses’ responsiveness, care proficiency, and individualized and patient-centered care are also valued. Previous studies highlight the importance of a nurse with responsibility for continuity of care to the satisfaction and empowerment of patients, a nurse whom the patients can identify [ 18 , 40 ]. No study has examined symptom management or discharge planning from the patient’s perspective. The quality of care was analyzed in two studies, but only from the perspective of nurses [ 31 , 33 ], who observed that by implementing the primary nursing model, they had more time to organize and deliver individualized care and were more available to patients. As a result of these changes, patients’ satisfaction with nursing care increased, and, in turn, there was a decrease in the average length of hospital stays. Satisfaction with care is an indicator that nurses increasingly value as a measure the care quality they deliver [ 11 , 41 , 42 ]. According to the studies assessed, the primary nursing model is related to the patients’ experience, particularly in the dimension of satisfaction with nursing care. They value the existence of a nurse assigned the responsibility for continuity of care.

Although this study did not aim to analyze nurses’ views on primary nursing, it was observed that three of the studies addressed it [ 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Using the primary nursing model has benefits perceived by nurses, particularly in terms of leadership, work environment, and satisfaction with teamwork. The more productive practice environments are those in which nurses can achieve greater autonomy in delivering care through monitoring some health conditions or in health education actions, which will result in positive patients’ outcomes [ 43 , 44 ].

This review has identified some evidence that can contribute to improving nursing care organization with a positive impact on nursing-sensitive patients’ outcomes. Political decision-makers and nurse administrators’ support for applying the primary nursing model as an organization of nursing care can be a strategy to improve professionals’ performance, and patients’ satisfaction, achieve good indicators of health quality and safety, as well as reduce patients’ average length of stay in hospitals. However, more research is needed to allow more robust and widespread results to be produced.

The limitations of this systematic review ought to be considered when reading the results. The heterogeneity of the studies included may also compromise the conclusions, viewing location and cultural dimensions of healthcare. Although they all addressed the primary nursing model, it was studied from different perspectives. Regardless of the sensitive search strategy, a small number of studies were found. In many searches, there were articles on primary care nursing instead of articles on the primary nursing model.

5. Conclusions

This systematic review has synthesized evidence from recent studies on the primary nursing model, its relationship to nursing-sensitive inpatients’ outcomes, and their experience with care. It was found, however, that in the studies under analysis, the indicators presented were mainly associated with negative occurrences, such as adverse events or complications. There is scarce research that relates primary nursing with positive indicators such as the patients’ functional status and self-care abilities, where the nurses’ distinctive contribution, either through health education interventions or care coordination, can be analyzed. Further research is warranted regarding the influence of the primary nursing model on these outcomes.

In the event a student is denied access to a clinical site, the student may be unable to complete the course requirements, successfully pass the course, and/or graduate.

Note: The cost of additional background checks, drug screens, and/or fingerprinting is typically paid for by the clinical agency. However, it is possible that the expense may be the responsibility of the student.

Note: The presence of marijuana will disqualify you from entering the Nursing Program

My Clinical Exchange is a clinical student placement platform that has been established by clinical agencies to manage student clinical rotations and compliance. It will be the students’ responsibility to register and pay for the platform once admitted into the Nursing Program. Some clinical sites may require additional documentation.

“We are hoping with the re-instatement of the traditional BSN program in Oxford, we can contribute more nurses to the workforce, thereby lessening the nursing shortage in Mississippi and nationally,” she said. “In doing so, we believe this can contribute to positive patient outcomes and a healthy Mississippi.” The traditional BSN program follows the “2+2” model of students taking foundational academic courses during their freshman and sophomore years before moving into nursing courses at the start of their junior year. The UMMC School of Nursing began in 1948 as the state’s first baccalaureate nursing program in the state in Oxford. The nursing program then moved to the Medical Center campus in 1956, following the School of Medicine.

The classes now underway are the first traditional BSN classes in Oxford since 2014. The traditional BSN students join accelerated BSN students in Oxford. The accelerated BSN program allows graduates with four-year degrees in other disciplines to earn a BSN and take the registered nurse licensure exam in about a year.

The traditional BSN program being in Oxford as well as Jackson gives students more choices, Holley said.

“Some nursing students may not be able to move to the metro Jackson area for a traditional BSN program, but they still want the value and expertise of a UMMC nursing degree,” she said. “Others may be involved in athletics and campus life at the University of Mississippi and want to complete their nursing degrees in Oxford. The traditional BSN program being available in Oxford as well as Jackson gives nursing students options.”

For BSN student Laila Totten of Olive Branch, the best asset of the traditional BSN program in Oxford is the location.

“I’m familiar with Oxford because I’ve been an Ole Miss student the past two years,” she said, “and my friends are here.”

MoSCoW Prioritization

What is moscow prioritization.

MoSCoW prioritization, also known as the MoSCoW method or MoSCoW analysis, is a popular prioritization technique for managing requirements. 

  The acronym MoSCoW represents four categories of initiatives: must-have, should-have, could-have, and won’t-have, or will not have right now. Some companies also use the “W” in MoSCoW to mean “wish.”

What is the History of the MoSCoW Method?

Software development expert Dai Clegg created the MoSCoW method while working at Oracle. He designed the framework to help his team prioritize tasks during development work on product releases.

You can find a detailed account of using MoSCoW prioritization in the Dynamic System Development Method (DSDM) handbook . But because MoSCoW can prioritize tasks within any time-boxed project, teams have adapted the method for a broad range of uses.

How Does MoSCoW Prioritization Work?

Before running a MoSCoW analysis, a few things need to happen. First, key stakeholders and the product team need to get aligned on objectives and prioritization factors. Then, all participants must agree on which initiatives to prioritize.

At this point, your team should also discuss how they will settle any disagreements in prioritization. If you can establish how to resolve disputes before they come up, you can help prevent those disagreements from holding up progress.

Finally, you’ll also want to reach a consensus on what percentage of resources you’d like to allocate to each category.

With the groundwork complete, you may begin determining which category is most appropriate for each initiative. But, first, let’s further break down each category in the MoSCoW method.

Start prioritizing your roadmap

Moscow prioritization categories.

1. Must-have initiatives

As the name suggests, this category consists of initiatives that are “musts” for your team. They represent non-negotiable needs for the project, product, or release in question. For example, if you’re releasing a healthcare application, a must-have initiative may be security functionalities that help maintain compliance.

The “must-have” category requires the team to complete a mandatory task. If you’re unsure about whether something belongs in this category, ask yourself the following.

If the product won’t work without an initiative, or the release becomes useless without it, the initiative is most likely a “must-have.”

2. Should-have initiatives

Should-have initiatives are just a step below must-haves. They are essential to the product, project, or release, but they are not vital. If left out, the product or project still functions. However, the initiatives may add significant value.

“Should-have” initiatives are different from “must-have” initiatives in that they can get scheduled for a future release without impacting the current one. For example, performance improvements, minor bug fixes, or new functionality may be “should-have” initiatives. Without them, the product still works.

3. Could-have initiatives

Another way of describing “could-have” initiatives is nice-to-haves. “Could-have” initiatives are not necessary to the core function of the product. However, compared with “should-have” initiatives, they have a much smaller impact on the outcome if left out.

So, initiatives placed in the “could-have” category are often the first to be deprioritized if a project in the “should-have” or “must-have” category ends up larger than expected.

4. Will not have (this time)

One benefit of the MoSCoW method is that it places several initiatives in the “will-not-have” category. The category can manage expectations about what the team will not include in a specific release (or another timeframe you’re prioritizing).

Placing initiatives in the “will-not-have” category is one way to help prevent scope creep . If initiatives are in this category, the team knows they are not a priority for this specific time frame. 

Some initiatives in the “will-not-have” group will be prioritized in the future, while others are not likely to happen. Some teams decide to differentiate between those by creating a subcategory within this group.

How Can Development Teams Use MoSCoW?

  Although Dai Clegg developed the approach to help prioritize tasks around his team’s limited time, the MoSCoW method also works when a development team faces limitations other than time. For example: 

Prioritize based on budgetary constraints.

What if a development team’s limiting factor is not a deadline but a tight budget imposed by the company? Working with the product managers, the team can use MoSCoW first to decide on the initiatives that represent must-haves and the should-haves. Then, using the development department’s budget as the guide, the team can figure out which items they can complete. 

Prioritize based on the team’s skillsets.

A cross-functional product team might also find itself constrained by the experience and expertise of its developers. If the product roadmap calls for functionality the team does not have the skills to build, this limiting factor will play into scoring those items in their MoSCoW analysis.

Prioritize based on competing needs at the company.

Cross-functional teams can also find themselves constrained by other company priorities. The team wants to make progress on a new product release, but the executive staff has created tight deadlines for further releases in the same timeframe. In this case, the team can use MoSCoW to determine which aspects of their desired release represent must-haves and temporarily backlog everything else.

What Are the Drawbacks of MoSCoW Prioritization?

  Although many product and development teams have prioritized MoSCoW, the approach has potential pitfalls. Here are a few examples.

1. An inconsistent scoring process can lead to tasks placed in the wrong categories.

  One common criticism against MoSCoW is that it does not include an objective methodology for ranking initiatives against each other. Your team will need to bring this methodology to your analysis. The MoSCoW approach works only to ensure that your team applies a consistent scoring system for all initiatives.

Pro tip: One proven method is weighted scoring, where your team measures each initiative on your backlog against a standard set of cost and benefit criteria. You can use the weighted scoring approach in ProductPlan’s roadmap app .

2. Not including all relevant stakeholders can lead to items placed in the wrong categories.

To know which of your team’s initiatives represent must-haves for your product and which are merely should-haves, you will need as much context as possible.

For example, you might need someone from your sales team to let you know how important (or unimportant) prospective buyers view a proposed new feature.

One pitfall of the MoSCoW method is that you could make poor decisions about where to slot each initiative unless your team receives input from all relevant stakeholders. 

3. Team bias for (or against) initiatives can undermine MoSCoW’s effectiveness.

Because MoSCoW does not include an objective scoring method, your team members can fall victim to their own opinions about certain initiatives. 

One risk of using MoSCoW prioritization is that a team can mistakenly think MoSCoW itself represents an objective way of measuring the items on their list. They discuss an initiative, agree that it is a “should have,” and move on to the next.

But your team will also need an objective and consistent framework for ranking all initiatives. That is the only way to minimize your team’s biases in favor of items or against them.

When Do You Use the MoSCoW Method for Prioritization?

MoSCoW prioritization is effective for teams that want to include representatives from the whole organization in their process. You can capture a broader perspective by involving participants from various functional departments.

Another reason you may want to use MoSCoW prioritization is it allows your team to determine how much effort goes into each category. Therefore, you can ensure you’re delivering a good variety of initiatives in each release.

What Are Best Practices for Using MoSCoW Prioritization?

If you’re considering giving MoSCoW prioritization a try, here are a few steps to keep in mind. Incorporating these into your process will help your team gain more value from the MoSCoW method.

1. Choose an objective ranking or scoring system.

Remember, MoSCoW helps your team group items into the appropriate buckets—from must-have items down to your longer-term wish list. But MoSCoW itself doesn’t help you determine which item belongs in which category.

You will need a separate ranking methodology. You can choose from many, such as:

• Weighted scoring
• Value vs. complexity
• Buy-a-feature
• Opportunity scoring

For help finding the best scoring methodology for your team, check out ProductPlan’s article: 7 strategies to choose the best features for your product .

2. Seek input from all key stakeholders.

To make sure you’re placing each initiative into the right bucket—must-have, should-have, could-have, or won’t-have—your team needs context. 

At the beginning of your MoSCoW method, your team should consider which stakeholders can provide valuable context and insights. Sales? Customer success? The executive staff? Product managers in another area of your business? Include them in your initiative scoring process if you think they can help you see opportunities or threats your team might miss. 

3. Share your MoSCoW process across your organization.

MoSCoW gives your team a tangible way to show your organization prioritizing initiatives for your products or projects. 

The method can help you build company-wide consensus for your work, or at least help you show stakeholders why you made the decisions you did.

Communicating your team’s prioritization strategy also helps you set expectations across the business. When they see your methodology for choosing one initiative over another, stakeholders in other departments will understand that your team has thought through and weighed all decisions you’ve made. 

If any stakeholders have an issue with one of your decisions, they will understand that they can’t simply complain—they’ll need to present you with evidence to alter your course of action.

Rural Texas nursing program aims to help recruit and retain nurses

by: Sarah Al-Shaikh

Posted: Jun 3, 2024 / 12:19 PM CDT

Updated: Jun 3, 2024 / 06:49 PM CDT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A new state program is trying to help address the nursing shortage in rural Texas communities.

On Monday, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller and the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) announced applications are open for the Rural Nursing Recruitment & Retention Program (RNRR) .

This comes a few weeks after Gov. Greg Abbott announced $17 million in grant funding awarded to rural hospitals by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

“In rural Texas, we have a lot of challenges. We have most elderly population,” said Commissioner Miller. “We have the highest uninsured population. We have the two vocations that are most accident prone: farming and oil field work.”

The nurse program provides eligible health care facilities with the money to incentivize nurses to work in rural areas of Texas, according to a news release. 

Eligible facilities must do the following:

• Employ nurses
• Provide direct patient care to its community as a whole
• Accept Medicare/Medicaid patients
• Stay within a rural Texas county with a population of 68,000 or less

What does the program offer?

The program helps rural health care facilities provide $15,000 in stipend assistance to nurses who agree to work or continue to work at their facility.

“Access to medical care is crucial for rural Texans. With the implementation of RNRR, qualifying rural healthcare facilities will be able to attract and retain needed staff to provide quality care,” the news release said.

An awarded facility can give that money to a nurse who is currently employed or will be employed and agrees to work full-time for a minimum of three years.

Applications are due June 27. The release said the award is competitive and TDA cannot review completed applications before the deadline.

“Staff are available to answer questions until 5 p.m. June 27,” the release said.

Rural staffing shortages

Staffing concerns are an ongoing issue that rural communities have dealt with for years.

“There are 4 million rural Texans. Sometimes those areas of the state are an afterthought.” John Henderson, CEO of the Texas Organization of Rural and Community Hospitals

Henderson said sometimes it’s hard to recruit and retain a good clinical workforce.

“Not just with physicians, but also with nurses, respiratory therapists, and lab technicians,” Henderson said.

Ultimately, Henderson said a lot of it comes down to money.

“Even if they offer competitive pay packages, sometimes they can’t match the bonus and incentives that some of the urban systems can provide,” Henderson said.

This program adds to a growing list of resources for rural hospitals. Henderson said he already knows of hospitals that are interested in applying.

“This, they think, will help put them over the top with regard to those recruitment efforts,” Henderson said.
