摘要:

Healthcare delivery systems are experiencing sweeping changes; acquisition and merger activities abound. These activities have the potential to greatly impact employees and their quality of work-life. The authors describe how one nursing organization in a large metropolitan teaching hospital successfully merged two separate nursing departments by dealing with the essence of these organizations' cultures. A conceptual model was developed that will facilitate future organizational field research in the areas of corporate culture and change process.

摘要:

Self-determination theory describes the working conditions necessary for the experience of self-motivation. Performance evaluation sessions represent extraordinary opportunities to enhance motivation, yet often are approached with anxiety. An innate desire for feedback meets with a learned response of fear, by both the evaluator and evaluatee. Psychological fusion theory explains the source of this conflict and what nurse executives can do to use these sessions for motivational impact while ameliorating the attendant stress.

摘要:

Distance learning refers to any educational experience in which the instructor (teacher) is separated from the student (learner) by geographic distance. Partnerships are being established between institutions of higher education and healthcare organizations to achieve a mutual goal, that of educating employees to work in a rapidly changing workplace environment. The authors describe one such partnership and the common issues confronted by both the academic and service institutions in implementing an outreach education program. The authors propose that these partnerships can be effective in implementing distance learning programs that meet the ongoing educational needs of nurses living and working in rural and underserved environments.

摘要:

The authors describe the use of community development theory to assess the need for a community-based, nurse-managed primary care clinic. A community development model provided the framework for citizen participation in identifying collective health needs of public housing residents. The model facilitated the following: 1) planning for delivery of culturally appropriate primary care services that respond to health needs perceived by community residents; 2) ensuring acceptability and use of services; and 3) empowering residents to take responsibility for their own health. This article focuses on the assessment phase of the model and meeting the perceived needs of community residents.

The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award was established in 1987. Although primarily an award for business and industry, pilot criteria for healthcare settings have been developed. These criteria can be used by healthcare organizations to conduct internal evaluations of their institutions. Benefits of such an evaluation include improvement of an organization's effectiveness and improved healthcare quality for stakeholders.
