These include the following: 1) Primary nursing - This means of providing nursing care, which provides for 24-hour accountability and responsibility by one registered nurse for her /his primary patients, now is practiced on all The Miriam's mu:sing units. The Miriam is the only hospital in the state which ex­ clusively practices primary nursing. 2) Collaborative practice - One aspect of this practice, collaborative rounding, is being conducted on a trial basis on one nursing unit. This involves the primary nurse making rounds with the house staff and contributing to patient care plans. 3) Clinical levels of practice - The structure for this practice, which allows for a job promotion at a higher level of practice but with the nurse remaining at the bedside, is being developed at The Miriam this year. 4) Status of nurse-in-chief - As a clinical chief, the nurse-in-chief has equal authority with the Hospital's other chiefs, for example the physician-in-chief and surgeon-in-chief. 5) Decentralized decision-making - Nurses work with one of three area direc­ tors, each of whom has the rank of assis­ tant nurse-in-chief, on such matters as overtime, tuition reimbursement and con­ ference attendance.
