  • Title: Spinal cord injury nurses in action: partners in practice.
    Author: Colodny A.
    Journal: SCI Nurs; 1997 Sep; 14(3):79-82. PubMed ID: 9355613.
    Abstract:
    The creation and implementation of a Partners in Practice care delivery model on a spinal cord injury unit is described in this article. As a result of changes in the number and mix of staff, new strategies were necessary to assure the provision of patient focused, team oriented care. The goal was to increase the efficiency, effectiveness, and continuity of care while ensuring staff accountability and appropriate utilization of resources. Manthey's (1980) Partners in Practice model was adapted to meet the needs of the unit, and was implemented using Lewin's (Scott, 1994) change theory. Outcomes of the model included the establishment of a culture of partnership for providing team oriented care to spinal cord injury patients.
