Primary team nursing: the 90s model.
The nursing shortage of the late 80s necessitated development of an alternative to primary nursing to meet patient needs. After assessing the strengths and limitations of functional nursing, team nursing and primary nursing, a team designed a new model which incorporated the best features of the three. After a pilot period, "primary team nursing" has proven effective and feedback from nurses has been positive.
