Synergy occurs when "...things work together harmoniously" as noted by Mark Twain,and when the whole is greater than its parts (Steven Covey,1989).The Synergy Model of Professional Caring and Ethics was developed by the American Association of Critical Care Nurses in which the characteristics of the patient (not the nurse),clinical unit,or system are matched with the nurse's competencies (not the patient's ability to achieve identified outcomes)(Hardin & Kaplan,2005).
