Models of Health Care Delivery
There are numerous models of health care delivery, or ways that health care delivery systems, such as hospitals, operate. Nurses often serve as the "backbone" to health care delivery models because of the unique hands-on role they play in providing care. Columbia University School of Nursing researchers carefully examine the wide array of models of health care delivery across many settings (e.g., inpatient, outpatient) to determine which are the most beneficial, efficient, and cost-effective. Our research is examining health care delivery models that are not only integrated, coordinated, leverage technology, and theory-driven, but that also elevate the nurse’s role from caregivers to "care integrators" to maximize their positive impact on patients. Such research is driving change in health care delivery by developing and launching innovative solutions to today’s health care problems.
