Collaborative management. A nursing practice model.
The authors discuss an innovative, collaborative management model intended to promote optimal patient care, personal and professional nurse satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness. The model delineates the role components of the nurse manager, the clinical nurse specialist, and the clinical nurse. Although the model is applied to a high-risk antenatal unit, staff members and managers can easily adapt the model to any unit.
