Development of a criteria-based performance appraisal for emergency department staff nurses.

Developing a criteria-based performance appraisal tool is a rewarding effort, but not one to be taken lightly. It took weeks. At times, the project loomed as "mission impossible." A reflection of its success is the fact that other ED staff members (e.g., charge nurses, clerks, triageurs, and lab assistants) now want criteria-based performance appraisals for their positions. We have just finished a job description and criteria-based appraisal for laboratory assistants.

How mental health and developmental disabilities staff prioritize training and development needs.

This paper contrasts a staff training needs assessment distributed to three groups: staff serving persons with mental health needs in the community, staff serving persons with mental health needs in state hospitals, and staff serving persons with developmental disabilities in the community. Analyses revealed that all three groups rated team-related training as the area in greatest need of development. Further analyses suggested that community staff serving persons with developmental disabilities reported significantly less need for training on direct client care compared to community and inpatient staff who serve persons with mental health needs. The community staff serving persons with mental health needs did not differ significantly from the inpatient staff on any of the surveyed training areas. Results suggest that future development efforts should begin with team building skills.

Knowledge of blood pressure measurement among a teaching hospital staff in a developing nation.

Hypertension is a common and potentially serious disease and accurate measurement of blood pressure (BP) is important for its diagnosis and management. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of hospital staff on the basic principles of BP measurement. Consultants, junior doctors and nurses in a large teaching hospital in southern Saudi Arabia were requested to answer a questionnaire about the most important aspects pertaining to BP measurement. The overall response rate was about 70%. There was a wide diversity of responses reflecting a poor knowledge of some of the basic techniques of BP measurement. This included inconsistencies regarding the knowledge of cuff size, recording of diastolic BP, position of the arm and rate for deflating the cuff. Overall, 60% of the respondents had insufficient knowledge. Inaccurate BP measurement can seriously affect the diagnosis and management of the patient with this common disease. Hospital staff need to improve their knowledge about BP measurement, and teaching programmes about BP measurement should be developed as part of continuing education.

Hospital and medical staff strategic planning: developing an integrated approach.

The physician as the principal customer of the hospital is a relatively new concept, indicative of the shift to a more complete market orientation in strategic planning. Although medical staff and medical community dynamics receive increasing attention in strategic planning, much more sophistication is now needed to involve physicians constructively in strategic planning for the hospital and medical staff. While full consonance of physician and hospital plans may be achievable only in a completely integrated delivery system, there is considerable room for improvement in current organizational models.

[Training and development of the nursing staff: a model of spread sheet cost].

This paper presents a model of spread sheet cost for training and development programs to the nursing staff in a hospital organization. Significant items of the total cost have been considered in relation to its elaboration and proper functioning. This model is divided into four parts: Item 1--data related to the training programs; Item 2--direct costs of these programs; Item 3--indirect costs (Continuum Educational Center structure), and Item 4--cost amount. The use of spread sheet cost may provide knowledge and managementfor the nurses and nurse managers. However, the related costs should be reviewed according to each service.

The patient care development programme: organisational development through user and staff involvement.

A number of approaches have been developed in recent years to try effectively to engage service users in the process of planning and delivering health-care services. The consumerist methodology for the strategy described in this paper was designed to maximise staff involvement in capturing user views, in order to develop services at a district general hospital. This strategy--the Patient Care Development Programme (PCDP)--provides a framework for both staff and patient involvement in shaping and influencing the development of health-care services. Uses the findings from applying the strategy to modify care packages, roles, skills, layouts, protocols and procedures, in response to both the "shortfalls" and the service strengths that the patient's view uncovers. Discusses the results of an evaluation of the programme which has been replicated in another part of the UK. The PCDP now forms part of a clinical governance framework and is being used to develop multi-agency integrated care pathways.
