摘要:

Objectives:A study was undertaken to determine the relationships among organizational culture, organizational commitment, and organizational readiness in a sample of employees participating in a hospital-wide redesign process.Methods:Employees of an organization undergoing patient-focused redesign were surveyed after a 6-month period of preparation and before the initiation of the new care delivery model.Results:Organizational readiness, a variable rarely described in organizational change literature, was the strongest predictor of employee commitment to the organization. Constructive culture also was predictive, but less so than readiness for change.Conclusions:Additional research is needed to clarify how an organization's history and culture of change contribute to employee willingness to work for the goals of the organization. Findings suggest that when change is seen as a positive characteristic of the environment, employees are more likely to commit to the work of the institution.

摘要:

Information about patient outcomes is increasingly available to guide consumers in their selection of healthcare. By unifying the traditionally separate programs of performance improvement, case management, and research, nurse executives can take control of care processes and outcomes. This article provides four case examples of patient care improvements achieved using performance improvement, case management, and research approaches. The use of the technologies outlined in the Johnson and Nolan article in this issue, "A Guide to Choosing Technology to Support the Measurement of Patient Outcomes," also is described.

摘要:

Currently, change is rampant in healthcare. Amid the economic pressures of managed care, nursing leaders find themselves pouring over financial spread-sheets and crunching numbers at the expense of staff interaction. While staff members feel overwhelmed by the whirlwind of change around them, nursing leaders struggle to balance staff needs with countless other responsibilities. The assessment and intervention strategy presented provides nursing leaders with a straightforward and efficient means of identifying and addressing issues that affect staff productivity, retention, and satisfaction.

摘要:

Problem-based learning (PBL) is offered as an appropriate pedagogy to prepare nurse managers for the uncertainties of future administrative practice. It is a student-centered, experiential learning strategy aimed at developing clinical reasoning, structuring knowledge in real-life contexts, motivating learning, and developing self-learning skills. Health professions and business schools report positive feedback from their stakeholders after adopting this new learning paradigm.
