摘要:

Proposed federal legislation would expand the coverage options Medicare beneficiaries have. One option—Medisave—would enable beneficiaries to replace traditional Medicare coverage with a catastrophic insurance policy coupled with a medical savings account.

Cross-training nursing personnel to provide follow-up home care to patients with congestive heart failure has resulted in a dramatic drop in readmissions. Significant reduction in length of stay and cost for readmissions has prompted this hospital to expand this type of service to other patient populations.

摘要:

As organizations struggle to deliver the same level and quality of services with fewer resources, administrators are challenged with redesigning workplaces to maximize nurses' commitment. This study used Kanter's Structural Theory of Organizational Behavior to examine the relationship between job-related empowerment perceptions of staff nurses and their commitment to the organization. Strategies for creating more empowered work environments are discussed.
