Surgical care models
View through CrossRef
The delivery of surgical care in modern healthcare systems has undergone a significant change in recent years. Increasing patient demands, and technological and pharmacological advances have enabled more complex surgery to be undertaken on patients with greater co-morbidities. In addition, new techniques have seen the development of day and short-stay surgery, enabling patients to spend less time in hospitals. These advances have required significant adaptation of surgical nursing skills, and this chapter gives an outline context to new models of surgery and the implications for nursing.
