Establishment of a Logic Model for Improving Productivity in Nursing Care Settings

The illustration of the logic model for the productivity improvement of the nursing field is displayed.

The logic model in the nursing care field utilizes technologies such as ICT and home care robot, and aims to improve productivity in the nursing care field, such as "1. Retention of nursing care personnel" and "2. Quality improvement of nursing care services", by allocating the time generated by work improvement and efficiency improvement to direct nursing care work.

  1. Retention of Nursing Care Personnel
