  6. e.g. Traditional Indian medicine • Practitioners of traditional Indian medicine as huge resource • Parallel systems of allopathy and homeopathy • Developed together as part of government policy • 90% health care outside “modern” system • Different systems of evidence and belief

  7. …traditional Indian medicine • Indigenous system is a major feature of system • Used more widely - clients feel more accessible • Less costly • Located closely to where needed • Fit with lifestyle, beliefs and values of people served • Enable a dual system to operate with cross linkages

  8. Health Care in revolution - Nicaragua • Public Health Led programs of care • Third world health problems • Changing life experience through public health • Working under complex and changing political regimes (destruction of hospitals) • Access for the poor and not wealth alone • Prevention Prioritised • Participation of local communities in establishing their own health priorities

  9. US Health Care • Federal and Private health care system • Single tier system with patient direct access • Insurance dependent system. (32% have no insurance) • Role of Nurse as part of client funded contract • Separation of health and social care services

  10. UK health care systems • Government funded - treasury dependent • System of NHS funding and PFI • Health policy is in the political domain • 85% care in public sector but changing - in Yorkshire more private beds • Major changes in health care modeling

  15. Organising care • Primary Care • Secondary care • Tertiary care • Hub and spoke models • vertical integrated models

  16. Care delivery systems • Nurse as technician • Task allocation • Individualised Care systems (patient allocation • Primary Nursing • Team Nursing • Key worker • Care management programmes

  17. Primary Nursing “The delivery of comprehensive, continuous, coordinated and individualised patient care through a primary nurse who has autonomy accountability and authority to act as the chief nurse for her patients Maria Manthey 73

  18. Key concepts in primary nursing • Responsibility for the quality of nursing care • Case method assignment • Direct channels of communication • Care giver as care planner

  19. Primary Nursing • Make own decisions • Liaises with others (Associate nurses) • Part of a primary nurse group • has authority (power to act) • has autonomy(freedom to act) • has accountability (responsibility to act)

  20. Strengths of primary nursing • Individualised care is real and involve the patient/client • Relationship develops with trust and knowledge • Total care package • Role modeling • Multi-disciplinary teamwork • Effective continuity of care • Professional advocacy • Communication with family & carers

  21. Weaknesses of primary nursing • Style is important (autocratic, over protective • Skill and knowledge requirements are considerable • Problems with “ward routines” - who is not my patient • ?Night nursing in primary nursing • Preferences of nurse over needs of patients

  22. Team nursing • Group of nurses to a group of patients • Most popular approach in acute hospital care • Manages the skill mix available • Team leadership roles emerge • A modified form of primary nursing where team leader manages the nursing diagnosis and plan and the team members act as care givers

  23. Team Nursing offers • Continuity of care • Named nurse • communication channels • closer liaison over planning and evaluating care • Always someone from team on duty • Team environment to learn and develop

  24. Weakness in team nursing • Task allocation reverts • Dependency on team on not focus on patient • Who is the key person in charge? • Named nurse can be eroded

  25. Patient allocation • Care allocated daily for a patient • enables total care rather than tasks • nurses get to know patients • may not be continuous care • planned care is fragmented • does not build authority and autonomy

  26. Key workers • Similar to primary nursing - lead worker for a client • Key worker coordinates the programme of support or care • most common in services for people with learning difficulties or mental health problems • enables enduring and continuing support to be developed

  27. Case Management • Caring for people DoH 1989 • Commonly used where sidcrete case work is identified (community/mental health services/learning disability services) • The key worker extends their role to incorporate the lead role for the multi disc team

  28. Questions………………. • What approach happens in your service settings? • Do they work? • How do you know they work? • How is quality managed in individualised systems? • What other possibilities exist?
