摘要:

Hospitals can realize substantial savings from nursing case management. The author describes an investigation assessing the cost-effectiveness of this mode of patient care delivery. The results showed an overall decrease in length of stay, an increase in patient turnover, and a potential increase in patient revenues generated for the hospital. The author provides several general and socioeconomic implications relating to the importance of nursing case management to patient care and institutions' profitability.

摘要:

This article is the fourth of a four-part series on the University Hospital Nurse Extender Model using patient care technicians (PCTs). Part I provided the overview and conceptual framework for the model. Part II described the implementation process. Pan III described the 1-year evaluation of the impact of the model. Part IV presents six lessons learned from this attempt to alter the way nursing care is delivered to patients. The lessons include the steps that must precede implementation, the role of leadership, the importance of clearly conveyed goals, the need for realistic incentives, and the necessity of a clearly defined communication system among those involved in the implementation.

摘要:

To respond to decreasing hospital revenues and the continuing shortage of registered nurses, nurse administrators are increasing their use of nursing assistants. Most nurses who direct these assistants, however, have little knowledge or experience in personnel management. The author describes the implementation of a program to improve nursing assistant supervision and discusses how the program has led to improved distribution of work load and increased nursing assistant productivity.

摘要:

The primary purpose of most regulatory agencies is to insure that standards for patient care are defined and adequately supported by policy, procedure, and organizational structure. In addition, the regulatory agency evaluates the effectiveness of the organization in implementing and monitoring the standards for providing safe, quality patient care. The objectives of regulatory agencies do not differ significantly from the major responsibilities of nursing administration. Despite similar accountabilities between the surveyor of the regulatory agency and the nurse administrator of an organization, there may be a great deal of anxiety and stress before an accreditation visit. A method of understanding the standards, developing tools to monitor compliance with the standards, educating staff regarding the standards, and assuring nursing practice is in compliance with the standards is presented. A mechanism for organizing materials and information for the survey that will be effective for ongoing monitoring of standards is also discussed.
