摘要:

The label "magnet hospitals" originally was given to a group of U.S. hospitals that were able to successfully recruit and retain professional nurses during a national nursing shortage in the early 1980s. Studies of magnet hospitals illuminated the leadership characteristics and professional practice attributes of nurses within these organizations. Recent investigations within magnet hospitals document significant relationships between nursing and patient outcomes, including mortality and patient satisfaction.The purpose of this review is to: 1) synthesize the magnet hospital research that describes and evaluates the professional practice of nurses within these institutions and (2) identify areas for future research to advance professional nursing models within current hospital organizations.

摘要:

Located throughout academic institutions, private hospitals, and clinic settings, clinical research nurse coordinators often practice outside the purview of institutional nursing departments yet must adhere to established nursing practice standards. Nursing administrators have a professional and legal responsibility to recognize the educational needs and competency requirements of these individuals and provide them with tools for their professional development. Establishing a network for clinical research nurse coordinators provides a forum for education, problem-solving, benchmarking performance, and camaraderie.

摘要:

Recognition for job performance is central to staff nurse morale. However, little research has been done to identify recognition methods most valued by nurses themselves. The authors report results of a multisite survey conducted to compare staff and manager perceptions of meaningful recognition behaviors. They provide data for developing management interventions that may help to improve morale and increase retention. Given the financial constraints of the current environment, the nonmonetary recognition practices identified are of particular significance.

There were no differences in nurses job satisfaction or patient satisfaction with nursing care in different organizational structures or where different nursing care delivery models were used. A supportive environment was most important to the job satisfaction of nurses.

摘要:

Patients arrive at emergency departments in distress. Physical needs are addressed, but less pressing emotional and social needs often go unrecognized. Although patients may not articulate their concerns, they may later feel dissatisfaction if needs were unmet. This study determined whether emergency department patients and nurses have similar perceptions of patients' needs, and which needs patients identify as most important. A convenience sample of patients and nurses in a two-hospital system was selected. Study results indicate that nurses may not always perceive accurately patients' needs or the strength of those needs. Institutions that place a high value on patient satisfaction with care must treat patient-centeredness as a priority-at all institutional levels.

摘要:

In the world of healthcare, there is a great deal of passion about productivity. Even mention of the word sparks internal angst and intense discussion-among providers and payers alike. Creating dialogue about productivity and its merits was the motivating force behind a debate at the American Organization of Nurse Executives 31st Annual Meeting in San Diego, California. Payer and provider representatives were given an opportunity to define and elaborate key factors that drive or inhibit productivity and core issues related to an important coexisting variable, that is, quality. The debate was moderated by Ann Van Slyck, MSN, RN, CNAA, FAAN, President of Van Slyck & Associates, Inc., of Phoenix, Arizona.

摘要:

Knowledge management provides a means for sharing data, lessons learned, and accumulated knowledge throughout an organization or within an entire industry. Gone are the days of hoarding knowledge to ensure job security; today's workers and managers must work together to find new and innovative ways to use what they know and optimize how that knowledge is accessed. Knowledge management's new approach to shared intellectual resources has implications for workers and managers in all fields and promises to redraw the management landscape. But are healthcare organizations setting the stage for reengineering themselves all over again?
