NURSING CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM :
1. Nursing care delivery systems are conceptual frame works which are formed for patient centered care and delivering quality care for the patients suffering with diseases. Nurses are the back bone to every health care settings, as they put their inputs for the development of health care organization and healing of patients disease conditions. Nurses are eligible to work in hospitals when they are completely graduated with their professional degree, that is Registered Nurse and Registered Midwife. The care delivery systems are not limited in one particular area but it is expanding in various levels in health sectors. Nursing is one of the noble profession which compasses the derivation for NURSE as :
N - Noble

R - Responsible
S - Sympathy
E - Empathy
In many countries nursing care delivery systems are excellent in providing their enormous services for the benefits of patients. In some countries and hospitals the delivery care systems are poor that has to be changed completely. As technology is raising its height advancements in nursing services are also becoming higher and expectations are also becoming higher from nursing health care services. But due to differences between doctors and nurses, nursing care delivery system are not reaching to their desired goals.
FOR EXAMPLE :
In INDIA the nursing care delivery system is completely different when compared to other countries. Provision of health care services completely depends on doctors and higher authorities. At emergency or critical times where patient needs immediate attention and care, nurses have to inform a doctor take their medical advice, wait for his arrival at the spot and then the treatment will start to save the life of a patient. By seeing this example even if the patient is going to die nurses are not having any legal authority to prescribe medications to patient by using their critical thinking and problem solving approach.
But other countries like US nurses are having free rights to deliver nursing services without any barriers or in the absence of doctor they can take their own decisions. So the delivery care system has to change where the primary goal is PATIENT AND NURSE CENTERED CARE has to develop. One of the reason is that 24 hours nurses will stay along with patients than doctors.
