A new care model was created in a large urban acute care hospital, to make care more patient- and family-centered and to use its health human resources more effectively by enhancing collaborative practice. The following study evaluates the new model one year after implementation using interviews and surveys of staff and patients, as well as administrative data pulled from organizational databases. Administrative data showed slight decreases in overall length of stay, 30-day re-admissions, staff absenteeism, staff vacancies, and the overtime rate. Conclusions from the evaluation were positive, providing initial support for the idea of the collaborative practice model vision for adult medical units.
