Health care settings are becoming ever more complex. With this increased complexity, however, people often become less clear about their responsibilities and accountability. In this article, the authors discuss the process of responsibility charting and illustrate how it can be used to clarify the roles of the many different people whose work may be affected by the implementation of new programs and procedures.

Recognizing the variety, distribution, and relevance of language can help nurse executives understand the subtleties of leadership, varying dimensions of power, and paradoxes of organizational life.

摘要:

Following the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospital's emphasis on clinical privileging for professionals other than physicians, Saint Elizabeths Hospital implemented a criteria-based system for granting privileges to nurses. Current literature does not provide much, if any, guidance for the nursing administrator facing the task of developing such a system. This article describes the development and implementation of a successful system, as well as results of evaluation of the system 18 months after implementation, and recommendations for change.

摘要:

Believing that nurses must agree on a uniform system for defining nursing hours and on a method for determining costs, the author describes how an automated patient classification system was enhanced as a preliminary step to cost out nursing. Nursing administrators are encouraged to refine patient classification systems so that accurate data for fiscal and staffing management can be generated.
