摘要:

As managed care and capitation methods of payment become more common to hospitals, a strategy to improve quality and reduce costs is introduced in response to these new pressures. Nursing leaders must take the initiative and respond to these changes by reducing the variations in patient care. The author describes seven initiatives undertaken by the nursing leaders of The St. Joseph Healthcare System in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during a 3-year period. The success of these initiatives and their universal application is discussed.

摘要:

As organizations restructure and redesign, hiring appropriate staff members becomes even more crucial for their success. Skill sets become more complex, fit becomes more significant, and fast-paced organizations do not have the time or resources for extensive grooming or training of in-house or newly hired personnel. The authors examine how talented professionals can be recruited and hired in a timely manner while using fewer in-house organizational resources.

摘要:

Clinical pathways define multidisciplinary staff members' responsibilities, time lines, and patient outcomes. Although medical and surgical care settings frequently use them to improve quality, clinical, and fiscal outcomes for specific patient populations, staff members of psychiatric care settings have been hesitant to use clinical pathways because psychiatry emphasizes patient individuality. The authors describe the development and implementation of a psychiatric clinical pathway for geriatric patients with depression and identify common multidisciplinary interventions and a pattern of outcomes over the course of treatment for these patients. They also delineate quality and fiscal outcomes and future directions. Implementation of the pathway has been successful, and the development and implementation processes have applicability to other patient populations and care settings.
