Finding a model that fits. The use of nurse models in A&E.
Careful and promptly completed documentation is vital in A&E, where patients rarely stay for long. Most A&E departments do not appear to use a nursing model. Many respondents to the study felt there was no suitable model available for A&E. There is a need for more emphasis on developing models for A&E and educating nurses about their use; nurses also need to be actively involved in their implementation.
