摘要:

There was a steady increase in the number of hours worked by nursing personnel in California hospitals from 1977 through 1996, mostly due to an increase in the number of hours worked by registered nurses (RNs). The hours worked by nursing personnel and RNs per case-mix adjusted discharge and per adjusted patient day also have increased. Possible explanations for the discrepancy between perceptions of declining nursing staffing and the data are discussed.

摘要:

This two-part series provides a cogent discussion of designing and implementing an effective communication system, with a committee structure based on the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations(JCAHO) functions. Part one includes the development and design using a systems approach. Part two, which will be published in the April 1998 issue ofJONA, will address the evaluation of outcomes and implications of this communication system. The experiential learning gained from this process is illustrated by the analysis of themes that surfaced during the implementation.

摘要:

In the current rapidly changing healthcare environment, nurse executives are likely to find themselves seeking and hiring consultants, as well as working with consultants who have been hired by others. Because working with a consultant entails a certain amount of risk and involves a commitment of both personal and organizational resources, nurse executives need to know how to be effective buyers and users of consultation services. The author presents guidelines for developing effective working relationships with consultants.

摘要:

The need for effective discharge planning by nurses has become more urgent and complex in light of recent healthcare initiatives. In response to better understanding discharge planning, four focus groups were held to describe a comprehensive framework of factors needed for effective discharge that are relevant to multiple nursing specialties across practice sites. Through content analysis, four themes-common across sites and specialties-were identified as important to discharge.

摘要:

In the long-term care industry, the turnover rate among nurse aides is extremely high. This adversely affects resident satisfaction, resident care, morale, and finances. It presents a challenge to long-term care administration. Refusing to accept high turnover as an impossible situation allows changes to be made. The authors describe how the staff at one intermediate care facility identified its problems, assessed the causes, and implemented corrective action.
