Management of SNF beds in a group model HMO.

The appropriate use of alternatives to the acute care hospital is an essential component of the HMO's ability to manage utilization. The Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) can be a particularly useful and flexible alternative. The present article describes how Fallon Community Health Plan, a 130,000-member group model HMO that includes a 16,000-member Medicare risk contract known as Senior Plan, integrates SNFs into its overall delivery of patient care. The article discusses the types of patients admitted, reasons for admission, types of services provided, and outcomes. The article also discusses the continuing evolution of the HMO's use of the SNF in patient care management.

NMR of the normal and pathologic eye and orbit.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) images of the eye and orbit were reviewed in a series of 100 normals and in four patients with orbital or ocular pathology. A rich retrobulbar fat content rendered the orbit well suited for NMR imaging. The lens, vitreous, optic nerve, and extraocular muscles were well visualized with spin-echo technique. However, NMR spatial resolution was inferior to that of high-resolution computed tomography (CT). NMR was comparable to CT in demonstrating choroidal melanoma and orbital pseudotumor. NMR exhibited a particular sensitivity in displaying tissue contrast for infiltrative orbital fat lesions with a relatively long T1. This initial experience suggests a promising role for NMR in orbital imaging.

Nursing diagnosis: use and potential in critical care.

Nursing diagnosis is a classification system for nursing widely used in the USA. There is increasing interest in its potential for use within British nursing. Benefits and concerns are raised about using nursing diagnosis in practice. This paper considers the potential for using nursing diagnosis in a critical care setting. Using nursing diagnosis raises many issues for British nurses, and these need to be discussed and clarified prior to implementation into practice.
