Using models in learning disability nursing.

Abstract

Nursing models and theory can be of particular benefit during periods of significant social and professional change. The use of nursing models in learning disability nursing needs to be shown to have positive outcomes in practice. A literature search found little proof of the efficacy of nursing models in learning disability nursing. More nursing research is essential in this area of practice.

Technology assessment: relationship to coverage issues--a case for temporary coverage decisions.

Making appropriate coverage decisions has the potential of impacting patient outcomes. In both the public and private sectors, great diversity exists in the methodology and process used to make coverage decisions. Because definitional issues are important, they are described in this article. The underpinning of coverage decisions are a commitment to certain methodological principles, including embracing evidence-based medicine. The role of the federal government and local entities in regard to evidence production and process as well as methodology used to formulate policy decisions is complex and requires resolution. A temporary coverage decision can be a helpful tool when no consensus exists.
