This book was released on 1996-03-27 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hospitals and nursing homes are responding to changes in the health care system by modifying staffing levels and the mix of nursing personnel. But do these changes endanger the quality of patient care? Do nursing staff suffer increased rates of injury, illness, or stress because of changing workplace demands? These questions are addressed in Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes, a thorough and authoritative look at today's health care system that also takes a long-term view of staffing needs for nursing as the nation moves into the next century. The committee draws fundamental conclusions about the evolving role of nurses in hospitals and nursing homes and presents recommendations about staffing decisions, nursing training, measurement of quality, reimbursement, and other areas. The volume also discusses work-related injuries, violence toward and abuse of nursing staffs, and stress among nursing personnelâ€"and examines whether these problems are related to staffing levels. Included is a readable overview of the underlying trends in health care that have given rise to urgent questions about nurse staffing: population changes, budget pressures, and the introduction of new technologies. Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes provides a straightforward examination of complex and sensitive issues surround the role and value of nursing on our health care system.

Book excerpt: After a series of studies found that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Survey of Occupational Injury and Illness (SOII) was undercounting injuries and illnesses at work, the BLS funded further research to explore these findings. These additional studies were conducted in Massachusetts, California and Washington and used varied methodologies. The overall conclusion, across the three jurisdictions and across methodologies, was that the SOII significantly undercounts - and therefore underestimates - the number of injuries, even when looking only at objectively verifiable and often serious injuries such as amputations. These findings were published together in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine in October 2014. This article, written as the introduction to this set of BLS-funded papers, explores the possible reasons for under reporting and the negative consequences that flow from unreliable data in this field. The authors note that the SOII relies on unaudited employer-reported data, and there are significant disincentives to report injuries and illnesses. Inappropriate pressure or fear of retaliation (particularly for workers), ignorance (on the part of health care providers and workers), disincentives for employers (including the possibility of increased regulatory oversight) all contribute to the problem. For a wide range of reasons, few occupational diseases are reported. Under reporting means that the magnitude of the public health and safety issues as well as the real economic and human costs of occupational morbidity and mortality are hidden from regulators, health care providers, employers, unions, workers and the public at large. The authors conclude by presenting several actions the BLS could take to ameliorate the problem of undercounting.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
