Advocacy: the time for involvement is now.

The American Hospital Association has targeted 1994 for its national advocacy campaign, which is called "Health Care '94: Shaping Tomorrow Today." Health care educators have an important opportunity to participate in the AHA advocacy efforts and to play a role on the local level, perhaps by assisting their institutional campaigns. In order to be effective, they must be (1) informed about national issues and reform efforts, and (2) committed to participating. This article summarizes actions taken in the first half of 1994 and offers options for educators to consider in expanding their own roles in the advocacy effort.

Meeting health-care educational needs: a case study.

The rapid rise of health-care education has been much noted and discussed of late. Most of the prominent A-V magazines feature articles about health-care education programs, ads for soft-ware production aimed at different health-care needs, and tips on in-house production of materials. Rarely, however, do authors address themselves to how particular hospital needs are perceived, assessed, defined, and--given the preceding requirements--met with specific in-house productions.

Three decision-making aids: brainstorming, nominal group, and Delphi technique.

The methods of brainstorming, Nominal Group Technique, and the Delphi technique can be important resources for nursing staff development educators who wish to expand their decision-making skills. Staff development educators may find opportunities to use these methods for such tasks as developing courses, setting departmental goals, and forecasting trends for planning purposes. Brainstorming, Nominal Group Technique, and the Delphi technique provide a structured format that helps increase the quantity and quality of participant responses.
