German term or phrase: Zimmerpflegesystem
Hum - I can translate this literally as room based care system or the like, but I don't think that's right

I found this description on the net, but would like to know the succint term in English:

Die Zimmerpflege ist ein Pflegesystem für das die Begriffe Gruppen- und Bereichspflegeverwendet werden.Das Kennzeichen der Zimmerpflege ist die Zuordnung einer oder mehrerer Pflegenden zu einerbestimmten Anzahl von Zimmern oder Patienten.Die Pflegenden sind während Ihrer Arbeitszeit ausschließlich für diese Patienten verantwortlich,und führen die gesamte Pflege, einschließlich der Organisation und Dokumentation, bei ihnendurch. Vorteile dieses Systems: Pflegende haben einen intensiven Kontakt zu den einzelnen Patienten und Begleitpersonen Patienten müssen sich nur auf wenige Pflegende einstellen Pflegemaßnahmen können zusammenhängend durchgeführt werden Pflegende können Veränderungen beim Patienten schneller erkennen Pflegende kann individueller auf Bedürfnisse der Patienten eingehen Bei den Pflegenden nimmt der Grad der Eigenverantwortlichkeit zu, dadurch wird eine größere Zufriedenheit erzielt.

Explanation:
or care system. As, for example, U.K. hospitals often just have open wards, the room concept would not work, but the idea of nurses being in charge of specific patients rather than doing one job for all patients is transferable
