Hospital culture--why create one?

Hospitals, to survive, must be transformed into responsive, participative organizations capable of new practices that produce improved results in both quality of care and service at reduced costs. Creating, managing, and changing the culture are critical leadership functions that will enable the hospital to succeed. Strategic planning and effective implementation of planned change will produce the desired culture. Work restructuring, a focus on quality management along with changes in clinical practices, as well as the care and support processes, are all a part of the necessary hospital cultural revolution.

Total quality management: defining a process for quality improvement.

An effective total quality management system is the outcome of a well-defined process for QI. The Toledo Hospital seven-step QI process provides a systematized, databased approach to problem solving. The process has been shown to work for all types of QI teams throughout the hospital.

Cooperation project in basic nursing education--the introduction of a new nursing education program in Tianjin, China.

Over the last few decades, traditional basic nursing education has taken place in nursing schools in China. In 1988, a new cooperation project for basic nursing education was tried between a Tianjin nursing school and several hospitals (Tianjin is one of the industrial cities in China). In this paper, an experiment in nursing education in Tianjin is described. In order to help readers to understand the Cooperation Project, the preparation courses are also described. Several advantages and disadvantages are discussed; some new proposals are also put forward at the end of the paper.

The Florida breastfeeding promotion project: a coalition effort to improve hospital practices and policies.

The Florida Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies-Coalition initiated a breastfeeding promotion project. The Coalition focused on hospital policies because of their impact on breastfeeding success and because of the potential for working with other state efforts directed at pregnant women or new mothers. The Florida Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition developed a three-part program. It consists of model hospital policies concerning breastfeeding, a lecture series which educates hospital nursing staff on the implementation of these model policies and a workshop through which trainers are prepared to present the educational program. Nurses' Association of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (NAACOG), Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), and Florida Lactation Consultant Association (FLCA) all contributed to this project.

Institutional and strategic choice perspectives on board involvement in the strategic decision process.

The level of a board of directors' involvement in strategic decisions can be viewed as an institutional response or as a strategic adaptation to external pressures for greater board involvement. We examined the antecedents and effects of board involvement from both the institutional and strategic choice perspectives. Data obtained from personal interviews with 114 board members and archival records indicated that board size and levels of diversification and insider representation were negatively related to board involvement, and organizational age was positively related to it. Furthermore, we found board involvement to be positively related to financial performance after controlling for industry and size effects. Overall, the results suggest that both theoretical perspectives are necessary for a comprehensive description of the strategic role of boards.

Nursing involvement in hospital governance: 1990 and 1995.

The integration of nursing into organizational governance structures has been advocated to improve practice and enhance the quality of patient care. In 1990, department of nursing involvement in hospital governance occurred primarily through the activities of the CNE. Projections for 1995 suggest that both staff RNs and CNEs will be more involved in governing health care organizations.
