Evaluation of the Master's in Genomic Medicine framework: A national, multiprofessional program to educate health care professionals in NHS England.

PURPOSE: Genomic medicine is revolutionizing health care but requires health care professionals to update their understanding of genomics and its application to clinical practice for successful implementation. To meet this need, Health Education England developed the Master's in Genomic Medicine, a national multiprofessional program to increase genomic literacy in the National Health Service workforce. This study summarizes an evaluation of the program, which will inform its future development. METHODS: Underpinned by Moore's evaluation framework, a mixed methods approach was used to characterize (1) learner demographics, (2) perceptions of the program, (3) knowledge and/or qualifications achieved, and (4) the outcome(s) for practice in the workplace. RESULTS: Learners were a diverse cohort of health care professionals, including doctors, health care scientists, nurses and midwives. Participant satisfaction was high for all elements of the program, including the curriculum, learning environment(s), and multiprofessional cohort(s), despite the challenges of engaging working professionals in part-time learning. Both learners and their managers reported enhanced genomic practice after completion of their studies. CONCLUSION: The Master's in Genomic Medicine program is an effective approach to professional education in genomic medicine. This broad multiprofessional learning complements training aimed at specific groups of health care professionals.

[Reunification: the impact of migration on potential West German growth].

"Using a certain number of hypotheses on labour efficiency, it is possible to evaluate the impact of reunification on West Germany's growth from 1988 to 1993. The additional growth generated by this increase in the labour force is approximately six points of GDP over the period. From 1989 to 1991, years during which immigration was at its height, the annual growth rate was 1.2 to 1.5 points higher than it would have been had reunification not taken place. Since 1991, this potential growth has been on the downturn and should become moderate in coming years." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND GER AND SPA)

Signs of change in Turkey's working class: workers' age-related perceptions in the modern manufacturing sector.

This paper explores the possible effects of the increasing exposure to modernity on younger workers in some sectors of developing countries with special reference to those employed in advanced manufacturing in Turkey. In recent decades Turkey has undergone considerable urbanization, improvements in literacy and rising levels of formal education. The paper systematically examines differences in the work-related attitudes and expectations, commitment and aspirations of younger and older workers, who have been exposed to these processes to different degrees. It is broadly confirmed that younger workers have higher expectations and aspirations that make them relatively less satisfied with a number of aspects of their work and which are likely to make for a less committed more critical workforce.

Surge capacity and casualization: Human resource issues in the post-SARS health system.

In Ontario, the unpredictable funding climate of the 1990s led health care organizations to look for ways to reduce costs. Adopting a just-in-time staffing policy, they employed fewer full-time workers, scheduled part-time workers to work regular shifts, took on more casual staff, and became increasingly reliant on agency nurses and overtime to cover shifts. These policies resulted in higher costs and reduced surge capacity, and placed the health of nurses and patients in jeopardy. Fewer staff meant more overtime. Stress-related absenteeism increased. Some nurses reacted to casualization by working for multiple employers. During the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) epidemic in Toronto, nursing resources were stretched to their limits. An exploratory investigation, based on relevant literature and interviews with 13 nurse administrators who held key positions during the epidemic, confirmed the lack of spare capacity in the health care system and indicated that community and long-term care sectors had less capacity than acute care. Low surge capacity in these sectors increased the vulnerability of the entire health care system. Capacity issues should be addressed as part of a larger human resources initiative to create a more flexible workforce. Since SARS, a number of government and organizational initiatives have been developed to increase nursing capacity.

Career development. Opportunity 2000.

Opportunity 2000 is an initiative designed to increase the role of women in the workforce and to promote equal opportunities in the workplace. The NHS Management Executive has set up a women's unit to put Opportunity 2000 into practice and to develop more 'women-friendly' working practices. The unit has produced a good practice handbook. The article discusses the eight goals produced by the NHSME to be achieved by health authorities and trusts by this year.

Shaping the future of academic health centers: the potential contributions of departments of family medicine.

Academic health centers (AHCs) must change dramatically to meet the changing needs of patients and society, but how to do this remains unclear. The purpose of this supplement is to describe ways in which departments of family medicine can play leadership roles in helping AHCs evolve. This overview provides background for case studies and commentaries about the contribution of departments of family medicine in 5 areas: (1) ambulatory and primary care, (2) indigent care, (3) education in community and international settings, (4) workforce policy and practice, and (5) translational research. The common theme is a revitalization of the relationship between AHCs and the communities they serve across all missions. Family medicine leadership can provide dramatic organizational improvement in primary and ambulatory care networks and foster opportunities for leadership by AHCs in improving the health of the population. Departments of family medicine can also play a leading role in developing new partnerships with community-based organizations, managing the care of the indigent, and developing new curricula in community and international settings. Finally, family medicine departments and their faculty have a central role in helping AHCs respond to workforce needs and in developing translational research that emphasizes the health of the population and effectiveness of care. AHCs are a public good that must now evolve substantially to meet the needs of patients and society. By pushing for substantial change, by helping to reinvigorate the relationship between AHCs and the communities they serve, and by emphasizing fundamental innovation in clinical care, teaching, and research, family medicine can help lead the renewal of the AHC.

Health care safety and quality: where have we been and where are we going?

Health care will always be associated with risk, but the Australian Council for Safety and Quality in Health Care has achieved much in bringing health care safety and quality into public consciousness and beginning systemic change for improvement. Work is underway to develop safety and quality standards, and infrastructure and systems for measurement and evaluation; to increase workforce understanding of how to improve health care delivery; to increase consumer engagement in health care management; and to develop policy and understanding of the barriers to progress. With this foundation of reform, the future of the new Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care is promising, but it is up to us as health professionals and managers, with the help of the community, to improve the safety and quality of health care.
