Developed at McGill University by Moyra Allen, RN, PhD and Mona Kravitz, RN, PhD, this practice model was first called Situation-Responsive Nursing or Complemental Nursing. Dr. Moyra Allen and colleagues offered refinements which were described as the Developmental Model of Health and Nursing. Dr. Laurie Gottlieb and faculty and students at McGill University offered refinements which were named the McGill Model of Nursing which emphasizes collaborative partnership and a strengths perspective.
