摘要：

The chronically critically ill (CCI) population has complex and unique nursing needs. To meet the needs of both CCI patients and health care professionals who care for them, innovative care models have been developed as alternatives to the traditional ICU model. One such model is the Respiratory Care Unit (RCU) at Mount Sinai Hospital, in which nurse practitioners (NPs) work with clinical nurses and a clinical nurse manager to provide intensive and comprehensive care to CCI patients. In this model, NPs successfully coordinate medical and nursing care in collaboration with physicians, social workers, physical therapists, and clinical nurses. This interdisciplinary approach is central to the successful provision of competent and compassionate care to the CCI patient. While the RCU is one successful nurse leadership model of caring for CCI patients, diverse hospitals and health systems can adopt some aspects of the model to accommodate their needs and resources.
