Martin SC, Greenhouse PK, Merryman T, Shovel J, Liberi CA, Konzier J Transforming Care at the Bedside: Implementation and Spread Model for Single-Hospital and Multihospital Systems. [JOURNAL ARTICLE] J Nurs Adm 2007 Oct; 37(10):444-451.
Institute of Medicine reports provide evidence of the failings of the healthcare system in the United States and a vision of the required transformation. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation created the Transforming Care at the Bedside initiative in 2003 to develop and validate a process for transforming care in hospital medical-surgical units. The authors describe Transforming Care at the Bedside as implemented by one of Institute for Healthcare Improvement/Robert Wood Johnson's initial pilot hospitals, including promising outcomes and a model for spreading the initiative.
