A unique approach in utilization of nursing personnel was instituted at the University of Colorado Medical Center to alleviate the following patient care problems: 1) lack of continuity of care of obstetric patients, 2) inadequate prenatal instruction, and 3) the unpredictability of patient census in the labor and delivery area. Half the nurses from the labor and delivery area were organized into four teams of two nurses each who acquired a case load of patients for antepartum care. When a patient was admitted to the hostpial in labor, the nurse from her team who was on call came in and provided all nursing care during the intrapartum period. The problems and benefits of this new approach to nursing care are discussed.
科罗拉多大学医学中心采用了一种独特的护理人员使用方法，以缓解以下患者护理问题：1）产科患者护理缺乏连续性；2）产前指导不足；3）产房区域患者人数的不可预测性。产房区域一半的护士被分成四个小组，每组两名护士，负责一批产前护理患者。当一名产妇入院分娩时，其所在小组待命的护士前来并在分娩期提供所有护理。本文讨论了这种新的护理方法的问题和益处。
