title: Critical care nurse model.
abstract: An innovative organizational framework is proposed in which professional group practices provide health care services by contract to hospitals and nurses and other health care providers have equal authority and power. Using this model, nurses can form group practices and contract with hospitals to provide total critical care nursing services to patients in hospital units.
