Patient Satisfaction And Nurse Communication Pre- And Posthospital Mergers And/Or Acquisitions, Shakeeya Sorrells
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Amid continuing mergers and/or acquisitions (M&As) of their institutions, U.S. hospital leaders have found it challenging to maintain favorable patient satisfaction Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Care Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores. The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental study was to explore the correlation between patient satisfaction (identified as the “likelihood to recommend” metric) and “nurse communication” HCAHPS scores pre- and post-hospital M&As. Donabedian’s theoretical framework and triad model of structure, process, and outcomes within health care quality served as the foundation for the evaluation. HCAHPS and 2019 change of hospital ownership data were obtained from the Centers for Medicaid …

Improving Financial Employee Organizational Commitment During Post-Merger Integration, Natalie Yve Cote Canestro
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) remain a top growth strategy for organizational leaders. However, the success of these initiatives is often undermined during post-merger integration (PMI) due to challenges in aligning organizational cultures, processes, and employee commitment. A lack of focus on enhancing employees’ organizational commitment (OC) during this critical phase can lead to disengagement, resistance to change, decreased productivity, and higher turnover rates. The purpose of the pragmatic inquiry was to explore how financial managers enhance their employees’ OC during PMI through the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) framework. Data were collected through semistructured interviews of six financial managers. Data were then …
