摘要:

ABSTRACT:States are struggling to devise politically acceptable ways to curb rising healthcare costs while improving access for their uninsured residents. In general, their reform strategies attempt to increase access to quality healthcare services, reform the health insurance industry, and control healthcare costs. Additionally, states have enacted laws that provide reform in the areas of medical malpractice, the health planning process, provider availability and scope of practice, the pharmaceutical industry, and the Medicaid program.

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Comprehensive healthcare reform depends on our ability to educate more primary care providers and reduce the oversupply of specialists and subspecialists. However, significant financial incentives exist, hidden within the Federal reimbursement system to fuel continued growth of highly specialized physicians, undermining efforts to educate primary care practitioners. If Medicare cannot correct this situation, perhaps the government should redirect GME funds to educate nurse practitioners.

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Ideally, patient needs are carefully matched with nursing skills, but despite the use of tools such as patient classification systems, matching needs with capabilities remains problematic. To effectively confront this problem, hospitals have a model to manage professionals with disparate education, training and experience—the medical staff credentialing and privileging program. Although adaptation of this model requires a significant cultural change for most nursing departments, it offers the benefits of fostering professionalism and increasing accountability in addition to better meeting patient care needs. In return for their initial investment, nurse executives may see results that include a more responsive, professional staff and increased customer satisfaction, both internal and external.

摘要:

ABSTRACT:The Tiffany/Lutjens Planned Change Theory Evaluation Scale guides nurses in choosing an effective planned change theory. The scale asks many questions specifically related to the relevance of a change theory to nursing concerns such as significance, economy, practicality and congruence with nursing's perspective. Appropriate applications of two change theories to nursing situations are discussed.
