AACN SYNERGY CARE MODEL

Introduction

In the 1990s, the American Association of Nurses in Critical Care (AACN) convened a task force to discuss a proposed new paradigm for nursing practice and create a conceptual framework for certified practice.  The synergy model as scribes eight nursing skills. These skills include the clinical trial, advocacy and free will, caring practices, collaboration, systems thinking, response to diversity, facilitating learning, and clinical investigation. Cerebral members felt that the practice must be certified on the basis of the needs of patients and maximize results, rather than a set of performance skills of nurses caring for critically ill patients and acute (Hardin, 2005). Since the original work of the Reflection Group has a description of the characteristics of a patient brings a medical center and a skill set that brings a nurse in bed. These initial lists were changed, the Expert Group on eight patient characteristics and nurse competencies eight AACN Synergy Model for patient care (Hardin, 2005).  AACN Synergy Model of Care describes nursing practice based on eight patient characteristics. The basic concept of the model is that the needs and characteristics of patients and its influence on families and the characteristics or competencies nurses.Synergy results when the needs and characteristics of the patient, clinical unit, or a system compatible with the skills of nurses (AACN, 2006). These features include a health-illness continuum (AACN, 2006).  Patient characteristics are resiliency, vulnerability, stability, complexity, resource availability, participation in care, participation in decision making, and predictability.  The basic principles of synergy model are: (a) The patient characteristics are of concern for nurses, (b) nursing skills are important for patients, (c) The patient characteristics drive nurse competencies, and (d ) when patients' characteristics and skills of nurses and the synergy of the match, patient outcomes are optimal (Hardin & Kaplow, 2005).
