Strategic planning in a school of health related professions: organizational transformation for the future.

The School of Health Related Professions (SHRP) at The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has been in existence for over a quarter of a century. During this time, it expanded and grew to offering 34 individual programs at the time of its silver anniversary. A concerted strategic planning process over two years has resulted in the School pursuing major organizational transformations to better align itself with the rest of the University's academic health center, to maximize its resources, and to refine its niche in academia. The strategic planning process used and major outcomes are described for the potential benefit of other schools of health related professions desiring to pursue introspection for future survival.

The development of a state-level health manpower database using an employer-based survey: a pilot project.

State health care reform may provide a better approach to meeting the health care needs of rural communities than does federal reform because the planning is closer to the needs of local communities. However, state health reform requires a health manpower database (along with other data) that includes all health occupations and such databases are often nonexistent. This study reports on one element of such a database--a survey of a wide range of rural health care employers covering the full range of health occupations in Alabama. Information on current and future employment of the most significant health occupations is reported here. It was found that the greatest numbers of new health personnel employees needed in the future were, in descending order, nursing assistants, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, radiological technicians, specialist physicians, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, primary care physicians, and respiratory care therapists. While an employer survey has limitations and should be supplemented by data on community needs and health status indicators, it does provide useful information for planning educational programs to prepare health personnel.

Babington's syndrome--setting the record straight.

Mrs FM walked slowly to Guys Hospital on 5th July 1945. She had to walk slowly, for she had been increasingly breathless with exertion of late. She was to attend Ear, Nose and Throat Outpatients, and after some initial delays she was ushered in to see the consultant, Mr TB Layton. He had been appointed to the staff of Guys Hospital in 1912. He then served in the Great War, was twice mentioned in dispatches, and won the DSO. He claimed to be the first British officer to enter Jerusalem when it was taken by Allenby's forces. In a word he was a character; and much loved (Figure 1).

Management's response to the union phenomenon.

While management must be allowed to assert its right to govern, it must not neglect the dignity of the employee in the process. If management can satisfactorily handle employeees' grievances about poor upward communication and poor and unfair treatment, it might also prevent unionization in its institution.

Recurrent sigmoid volvulus in young people: a missed diagnosis.

In nine young patients with recurrent attacks of sigmoid volvulus there was a long delay before a correct diagnosis was made, yet volvulus was indicated in most of them by a well-taken history. All were treated successfully by excision of the redundant colon. This condition is not as uncommon in young people as was thought.
