摘要:

The creation of innovative retention strategies will be a major focus for nursing administration as a shortage of nurses recurs and turnover of staff becomes a problem. A recent study provides information on which to formulate retention strategies. The findings suggest that retention strategies, to be effective, need to be targeted specifically to particular conditions of the nursing staff,e.g., educational preparation and the clinical service on which staff are functioning. The authors outline their research findings and the innovative strategies that have been constructed.

摘要:

Many nursing departments have developed methods for identifying the cost of acute nursing care services. Assuming that rehabilitation services will soon be reimbursed on a prospective basis as well, the nursing costs of those services will also need to be ascertained. In a study of one rehabilitation service, it was found that nursing care costs accounted for a greater proportion of hospital charges in rehabilitation than is true in acute care and that length of stay was the best predictor of the cost of care.

摘要:

In November 1985, St. Clare's Hospital in New York City became the first hospital on the East Coast (the second in the country) to open a separate dedicated unit for AIDS patients. Staff succeeded despite some seemingly impossible contradictions: John Cardinal O'Connor of the Archdiocese of New York, who has been opposed to the life-styles of most of the people who would use the unit (gays and IV abusers) urged the creation of the unit; St. Clare's had been bankrupt and virtually dismantled just a few years earlier; and the hospital did not have the financial resources, facilities, or AIDS patient caseload of the larger, well-known New York medical institutions. Through the perseverence of many individuals, stumbling blocks were overcome. The lessons learned at St. Clare's can be applied anywhere.

摘要:

This article describes a four-step process designed by a midwest teaching hospital to identify priorities for the appointment and use of clinical nurse specialists. In an era of cost containment where the outcomes and effectiveness of staff positions are continually questioned, such a process enhances the objectivity and quality of administrative decision making.
