Building a learning organization beyond the walls.

Senge's model of the learning organization served as the conceptual framework for the Vermont Nursing Initiative during its 5-year effort to create change across Vermont's 15 community hospitals. The author describes the process of investing in the intellectual capital of these hospital nurses through the development of Senge's five disciplines. The unexpected outcome of this process was the development of a nursing learning organization that reaches beyond hospital walls.

Currently employed public health administrators: are they prepared?

Challenges to the public health system come from shifting expectations of government, economic cycles, and demographic changes. Public health administrators, charged with the responsibility of both leading and managing their agencies, those who are recognized as having significant management responsibility and influence over programs and hold positions of leadership, must be prepared. The skills needed by administrators were identified using a focus group approach. The critical skills identified include public health values, epidemiology and advocacy, organizational management, cultural competency, coalition building, communications, managing change, strategic thinking and planning, Informatics, and team building. Potential action steps were also identified.

Towards a new health care paradigm. Patient-focused care. The case of Kingston Hospital Trust.

Patient-focused care (PFC) and business process re-engineering (BPR) have been advocated in the academic literature as techniques to improve both quality of service and reduce costs. Seeks to separate and delineate the components of PFC and BPR and, using the case study method, describe the adoption and implementation process of PFC in medicine and maternity by one London NHS Trust Hospital. Reports the impact of this innovation on service delivery, staff reconfiguration and multi-skilling. Identifies preconditions and key success factors and indicates lessons for the future.

Rural public health: policy and research opportunities.

Changes in the health care system, medicine, and technology as well as in the characteristics of rural communities raise issues that impact the responsiveness of the rural public health system to emerging threats to health. These issues, which are systemic in nature and primarily involve the infrastructure of public health, include the capacity of rural public health to manage population health, utilize information technology, monitor performance of the essential public health functions, develop leadership and the public health workforce, and promote the interaction and integration of public health and health care. This article provides an overview of policy and research implications, and it suggests that each of these issues contributes to the capacity of public health to effectively improve the outcomes of health in rural communities.

Developmental lessons of seasoned marital and family therapists: a qualitative investigation.

Little has been published regarding the development of therapists during their professional careers. This qualitative research study explored the development of seasoned marriage and family therapists (MFTs) in order to identify important events and themes in their personal and professional lives. The main developmental theme that emerged was the integration of their personal and professional selves. Information gained from this study might be useful in understanding the self of the therapist within training and supervision and might partially provide a map of the possible transitions facing MFTs along their developmental journey.

Academic mentorship: an effective professional development strategy for medical reference librarians.

Academic mentorship is a professional development strategy that enables fledgling professionals to take advantage of the skills and expertise of the senior members for professional growth. Although widely practiced in many other professions, academic mentorship has not been widely reported in medical librarianship. Drawing upon personal experience, the author reports the success story of an academic mentorship program implemented in an academic medical library and argues for academic mentorship to be widely adopted in academic medical libraries. This paper first reviews the literature on the concept of mentoring in an academic setting, and then describes the background, rationale, methods, and results of the mentorship programs the author has experienced. Lastly, based upon an analysis of several surveys and studies on coping skills for quality job performance of health sciences reference librarians, the paper discusses mentorship as one effective means to ease a new medical reference librarian's transition from his/her pre-service experience to the professional world of medical librarianship. It calls on other health sciences librarians to consider developing their own mentorship programs to promote their professional development and personal growth.

Myco-Ed: Mycological curriculum for education and discovery.

Fungi are important and hyperdiverse organisms, yet chronically understudied. Most fungal clades have no reference genomes, impeding our understanding of their ecosystem functions and use as solutions in health and biotechnology. Also, opportunities for training in fungal biology and genomics are lacking, creating a bottleneck that hinders the recruitment and cultivation of a talented future mycological workforce. To address these issues, we developed Myco-Ed, an educational program offering training and scientific contributions through genome sequencing and analysis. Myco-Ed empowers students to pursue careers in fungal biology while improving fungal resources. Myco-Ed has been piloted at 12 institutions (15 classrooms) ranging from online e-Campuses to R1 universities, resulting in hundreds of fungal observations and many new high-quality reference genomes.

A model for capacity-building in AIDS prevention programs.

This article discusses a collaboratively organizational capacity-building model for agencies engaged in HIV/AIDS prevention. The cooperative training approach (CTA) utilized by the Training and Technical Assistance Program trained participants to incorporate learned skills into their daily work practices, and to become trainers to help disseminate their newly acquired skills, first to others in their own organization and later to other organizations. The CTA was successfully implemented among 285 community-based organizations (CBOs) serving predominantly Hispanics in the U.S.-Mexico border region. The program evaluation demonstrated that it has significantly upgraded the program implementation capability and the organizational infrastructure of the participating organizations resulting in improved delivery of services to their clients. Furthermore, it fostered networking and collaboration for the development of sustainable training and technical assistance networks of agency staff skilled in organizational capacity building. It is suggested that funding agencies examine the feasibility of using this approach to increase the organizational capacity of CBOs involved in HIV/AIDS prevention.

The distribution and supply of Cuban medical personnel in Third World countries.

More than 2,000 Cuban health care personnel are presently providing care in Third World nations; less than five years ago this number was fewer than 100. Some 1,500 of these are physicians, representing nearly 13% of Cuba's 12,000 health service physicians. Cuba dominates the health care delivery system of four small African nations and South Yemen, and Cubans are a major presence in a number of larger countries, such as Iraq.

More schools of public health: a worldwide need.

This article asserts an urgent need for more schools of public health to produce an adequate supply of personnel capable of dealing with the health problems of the world population. Although there is a need for 450 schools of public health worldwide (1 for every 10 million population), there are currently fewer than 100 independent schools, with 23 concentrated in the United States alone. The benefits of independence from medical schools are stressed. The academic environment of patient-oriented clinical medicine is posited not to be conducive to the growth of the community-oriented public health discipline. The need for expansion exists in both developing and industrialized countries, although shortages are greater in less developed areas. Effective schools of public health should welcome students from a variety of backgrounds and serve as centers for the research and evaluation of national health systems.
