Sale and leaseback by Canadian hospitals: theory and practice.

Currently in Canada, between $3 and $4 billion of assets are financed annually through various forms of leasing, with the sale and leaseback transaction as the common vehicle for larger value asset financing. Financial theory of sale and leaseback is applied to Canadian hospitals with illustrations of the structure and process of sale and leaseback in practice. The moratorium on sale and leaseback transactions recently imposed by the federal and Ontario governments is also covered.

Developing a nursing management practice atlas: Part 1, Methodological approaches to ensure data consistency.

Challenges associated with the use of secondary data sources for benchmarking in nursing administration research are identified. A methodological approach for ensuring data consistency is presented in part one of this two-part series. Part two (September 2000) will provide an analysis of the nursing management data, based on a set of nursing and financial resource benchmarking variables identified by the senior nurse executives of these sites. Initial findings show evidence of data consistency across similar hospitals.

Supply and demand for cardiac nurses in Ontario: perceptions of CNOs.

This article presents the results of a nursing survey of cardiac care hospitals undertaken by a Cardiac Care Network of Ontario Consensus Panel on Cardiovascular Human Resources. The focus of the Panel was to identify areas of current or pending shortages in human resources and make recommendations to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care about human resource management in adult cardiac care in Ontario. The article presents the number and mix of full-time, part-time and casual nursing staff, the age distribution of RNs, and the number of vacant Registered Nurse (RN) positions for a sample of cardiac care hospitals in Ontario. Next a sample of Chief Nursing Officer opinions about factors contributing to current difficulties in recruiting RNs and the outlook for future shortages are presented. Implications for nurse managers are offered, including development of new recruitment and retention strategies, identification of further efficiencies in care provision, and a need for nurse manager involvement in debates about the future of how health care is provided in Canada.

Issues in the use of the Alberta Patient Classification System to fund Ontario long term care.

The purpose of this paper is to assess some of the issues surrounding the use of the Alberta Patient Classification System for Long Term Care Facilities (APCS) to fund Ontario long term care by attempting to answer the following questions: 1) Is the APCS valid for classifying Ontario long term care patients?; 2) Is it appropriate to use the APCS to fund Ontario long term care?, and; 3) What is required to develop a valid long term care patient classification and funding system appropriate for Ontario? The paper discusses why it may be inappropriate to use the APCS to classify Ontario long term care patients, some of the important financial consequences to a long term care facility if the APCS is inappropriate, and what might be necessary for a better patient classification and funding strategy. The potential and pitfalls of adopting patient classification systems developed in a different health system should be of interest to nurse managers in all provinces.
