Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.
Download or read book Managed Care and the First Line Nurse Manager written by John Richard Graham and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Managed care has consumed the healthcare industry and changed the way hospitals conduct business. The study examined the impact, if any, managed care has had on hospital based nurse managers. The nurse managers in the study viewed managed care as being synonymous with change. From their perspective this change permeated every aspect of their role. It required them to approach their job and responsibilities from a different vantage point, that being one of cost reduction. The influence of cost reduction was woven throughout five distinct areas of change that the study participants identified. The five areas of change were: composition of staff, clarification of care, nurse manager's role redesign, multiunit responsibility, and an external focus. The study showed that the nurse managers had changed significantly to meet the challenges of todays managed care environment. Their focus on cost reduction while maintaining or improving the quality of care was essential in securing and keeping the managed care business. These focuses helped to insure the financial viability of their institutions and assisted in obtaining and maintaining the managed care business.

Download or read book The Perspectives of the Woman nurse executive Working in the Managed Care Environment of Southern California written by Cheryl Lynn Brandi and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives of the woman/nurse/executive working in the managed care environment of Southern California. This research was extremely timely because (a) Southern California leads the nation in managed care market penetration, (b) changes in health care financing have resulted in a prolific expansion of nurse executive responsibilities, and (c) nurse executive experiences regarding increased responsibilities have not been researched. Role expansion impacts both male and female nurse executives, but female nurse executives must confront the dilemma of functioning in administrative domains which have been largely dominated by men. Knowledge about their experiences is vital to the future of the nursing profession and to the health care delivery system. This study blended feminist ideology with grounded theory. Seventeen woman/nurse/executive participants from mostly hospital settings were interviewed. Using primarily the dimensional analysis approach to grounded theory, the metaphor of a managed care battlefield became the study context. A typology of participants was discovered, consisting of four consecutive groups: (a) the Unsung Heroines, (b) the Engineers, (c) the Team Leaders, and (d) the Champions. Participants of each group made different ethical decisions about their most important responsibilities and leadership actions, resulting in a different professional identity, or battlefield position, for each group. The typology represented a continuum, ranging from the Unsung Heroines, who exhibited the strongest nursing identity and the least degree of organizational influence, to the Champions, who exhibited the weakest nursing identity but the greatest degree of organizational influence. The most important implications from this study involve nursing education, nursing research, and healthcare policy. Nursing education needs to be revamped to adequately prepare nurses for the expanding nurse executive roles. Additional research which explores the personal and professional value shifts involved in shaping these new roles is necessary. Finally, nurses must value feminist perspectives and become more involved in making healthcare policies which protect the essence of professional nursing practice.

Download or read book The Managed Care Revolution written by Ben Hickman and published by Vantage Press, Inc. This book was released on 2007 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing from forty-six years of experience, Dr. Ben Hickman, author of The Managed Care Revolution, endeavors to examine the impact of managed care on the nursing profession. Since the inception of managed care, hospitals, in competition with HMOs, have reduced patients' lengths of stay. Consequently, the roles and requirements of registered nurses have diminished considerably. The findings and conclusions from the author's thoughtful and exacting study of nurses at a leading New York City hospital are useful to hospital administrators seeking solutions to a shortage of nurses and provide critical information for resolving nurses' conflicts. Dr. Hickman cautions that managed care must be improved or replaced by another system if nurses are to remain in their profession and if young people are to be attracted to this noble career.
