摘要:

This study compares direct nursing care costs within specific DRGs between a primary and team nursing unit. Using a computerized information system, data relating to length of stay, acuity, and nursing care costs were collected. The data revealed that, despite an increased acuity of 28%, a daily savings of $1.30 per patient per average DRG was realized by the primary nursing unit.

摘要:

An analysis of data from medical records of 500 patients discharged from an acute care hospital in 1983 found seven of ten variables studied to be significantly related to length of stay. The results of this correlational study can lead to experimental research to determine the effects of nursing care on length of stay, which greatly affects hospitals' financial survival.

Nursing administrators are increasingly called upon to participate in media interviews. Because the affects of a single interview can help or hinder the reputation of an individual or an institution, it is vital that one be thoroughly prepared for the interview. This article offers specific suggestions for improving interview skills, including (1) the importance of predetermining the interview objectives and audiences; (2) how to avoid the mistakes that novices frequently make; (3) special considerations for live interviews; (4) what to do if you are misquoted; and (5) how to handle malpractice situations.

摘要:

Predicting the future is a risky effort for nursing administrators. What we can do is reevaluate our past and learn how the lessons of prior eras can help us understand the trends affecting health care and nursing and plan strategies for moving nursing forward. Specifically, to move forward we must effectively deal with our image, mechanism for educating students, attainment of public accountability and professional autonomy, political skills, and becoming more actively involved in research to document the value of nursing.

摘要:

Absenteeism negatively impacts sick leave benefits, staff hours, overtime pay, salary losses, productivity, employee moral, continuity, and quality of patient care. This paper describes findings from a large study that was conducted for the purpose of identifying variables contributing to absenteeism. Variables identified by the study included child care problems, conflict between the parent and employee roles, staffing and scheduling difficulties, and attitudes toward sick leave. While valuable information was identified by the study, the findings raised some serious questions about productivity, staff attitudes, and work ethics.
