title: Team nursing revisited.
abstract: The use of team nursing as a model of nursing care is being reconsidered by many nurse executives as a strategy to meet patient needs while efficiently using nursing resources. The author examines the historical development and original concepts of team nursing, discusses problems that led to the criticism of team nursing, and suggests ways in which team nursing can be enhanced for future use.
