The Diversity Of Case Management Models, Diane Huber
The Diversity Of Case Management Models, Diane Huber
Diane Huber
Case management is experiencing rapid growth and evolutionary transition. This article explores the diversity and richness of case management models found in practice. Interdisciplinary communication in case management programs can be facilitated by an awareness of discipline-specific definitions and models. A categorization of models is described as a device to stimulate multidisciplinary case management collaboration.

Exploring Nursing Home Staff's Perceptions Of Communication And Leadership To Facilitate Quality Improvement, Jill Scott-Cawiezell, M. Schenkman, L. Moore, C. Vojir, R. Connoly, M. Pratt, L. Palmer
Exploring Nursing Home Staff's Perceptions Of Communication And Leadership To Facilitate Quality Improvement, Jill Scott-Cawiezell, M. Schenkman, L. Moore, C. Vojir, R. Connoly, M. Pratt, L. Palmer
Jill Scott-Cawiezell
Leadership and clinical staff were surveyed to explore communication and leadership in nursing homes. Registered nurses and other professionals perceived communication as better than their nursing colleagues did. Overall, results suggest all factors of communication could improve. In terms of leadership, licensed practical nurses perceived less clarity of expectations, encouragement of initiative, and support than other groups. The study provides insight into what is organizationally necessary to improve quality of care in nursing homes.

OBJECTIVE: To develop an instrument to measure organizational attributes relevant for family practices using the perspectives of clinicians, nurses, and staff. DATA SOURCES/STUDY SETTING: Clinicians, nurses, and office staff (n=640) from 51 community family medicine practices. DESIGN: A survey, designed to measure a practices' internal resources for change, for use in family medicine practices was created by a multidisciplinary panel of experts in primary care research and health care organizational performance. This survey was administered in a cross-sectional study to a sample of diverse practices participating in an intervention trial. A factor analysis identified groups of questions relating to latent …

TOPIC: A culture of safety. PURPOSE: To explore the current culture of blame and what organizational elements must be impacted to move toward a culture of safety in the nursing home setting. METHODS: A mixed-method approach incorporating a case study and staff member survey results were used to explicate the organizational elements impacting the current nursing home culture. CONCLUSION: Nurse leaders can create an environment in which every member of the team feels a responsibility and an ability to insure that residents are safe by improving communication and participation in decision making.
Nursing Home Safety: A Review Of The Literature, Jill Scott-Cawiezell, A. Vogelsmeier
Nursing Home Safety: A Review Of The Literature, Jill Scott-Cawiezell, A. Vogelsmeier
Jill Scott-Cawiezell
The number of older persons in the United States is rapidly growing and, based on this growth projection, the number of consumers needing nursing home (NH) care will likely triple in the next 10 years. Although NHs have been bombarded and scrutinized about the care that they provide, the concept of safety (specifically, error prevention) remains at the margin of most quality improvement efforts. The purpose of this review is to explore what has recently been written (2000-2005) about the evolution of the NH as an organization focused on safety and the most critical clinical processes that must be closely …
An Examination Of Role Strain For University Nurse Faculty And Its Relation To Socialization Experiences And Personal Characteristics, Paula Mobily
Paula Mobily
The purpose of this study is to describe the degree of perceived role strain and the major sources of role strain in nurse faculty employed in major universities; and to explore the relationship between selected socialization experiences and personal characteristics and the degree of role strain experienced. The sample (N = 102) was comprised of full-time tenure track nurse faculty employed in major universities that offered National League for Nursing-accredited undergraduate and graduate programs in nursing, and were located in institutions classified as Research Universities I by the Carnegie Council on Policy Studies in Higher Education (1987). The majority of …

Communication, Encouragement, And Cancer Screening In Families With And Without Mutations For Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer: A Pilot Study, Anne Ersig, Janet Williams, D. Hadley, L. Koehly
Communication, Encouragement, And Cancer Screening In Families With And Without Mutations For Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer: A Pilot Study, Anne Ersig, Janet Williams, D. Hadley, L. Koehly
Anne L. Ersig
PURPOSE: Known and suspected mutation carriers for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer are advised to have colonoscopies every 1 to 2 years to detect colorectal cancer. Little is known about colonoscopy completion in families suspected of having hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer but without identified mutations. METHODS: This study examined the effect of communication and encouragement on colonoscopy in families with and without known mutations. Twenty-three respondents from 11 families with indeterminate genetic test results were matched with 23 respondents from 11 families with mutation-positive results. Hierarchical modeling examined the effects of relational characteristics on time since last colonoscopy in index cases …
Characteristics Of Health Information Gatherers, Disseminators, And Blockers Within Families At Risk Of Hereditary Cancer: Implications For Family Health Communication Interventions, L. Koehly, J. Peters, R. Kenen, L. Hoskins, Anne Ersig, N. Kuhn, J. Loud, M. Greene

OBJECTIVES: Given the importance of the dissemination of accurate family history to assess disease risk, we characterized the gatherers, disseminators, and blockers of health information within families at high genetic risk of cancer. METHODS: A total of 5466 personal network members of 183 female participants of the Breast Imaging Study from 124 families with known mutations in the BRCA1/2 genes (associated with high risk of breast, ovarian, and other types of cancer) were identified by using the Colored Eco-Genetic Relationship Map (CEGRM). Hierarchical nonlinear models were fitted to characterize information gatherers, disseminators, and blockers. RESULTS: Gatherers of information were more …

Teamstepps Communication And In Situ Simulation Training To Improve Individual And Team Performance During Handoff Of The Immediate Post-Operative Cardiovascular Surgical Patient, Stacy Lynn Jepsen
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
The aim of this pilot study was to identify if establishing a reliable framework for consistent use of TeamSTEPPS communication would improve the team communication and performance during the critical handoff of the cardiac surgical patient from the OR team to the ICU team. Breakdown in handoff communication has been attributed as the cause of adverse health events, delays in treatment, inappropriate treatment, increased length of stay, and increased costs and inefficiencies from rework. Standardizing handoff communication is a Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal, and immediate postoperative cardiac surgical patients are a high-risk population needing consistently high quality communication …
