Care Pair Model pairs a nurse with a CNA to provide better care for patients and greater job satisfaction for colleagues.

Learn more here:

• RN and CNA pair collaborate to care for 5-6 patients as a team. The two-way communication of this pair allows us to see increased staff and patient satisfaction. The lower patient ratios for our CNAs allows them more time to care for their patients by providing more time for activities of daily living (e.g., bathing, ambulation, etc.). Staff do not have to feel rushed to go from room to room, which is different when they have 12-15 patients on a shift.
• When observed in action, you can see how more coordinated their day was. By setting up the day with report and two-way communication, the RN is able to rely on the CNA to ensure that turns, bathing and feeding is getting done, which reduces stress on their day and allows them to focus on their role as an RN to assess and carry out orders as they come.
• This model improves staff and patient satisfaction and the team also saw an increase in quality data regarding CHG bathing, and a decrease in the number of call lights activated and how long they were activated for.
