Yale Nurse Steering Committee Sigma Theta Tau Winter 1977 Yale University School of Nursing Many of you have wondered from time to time what it is that deans, particularly YSN's deans, ALUMNAE ASSSOCIATION do for a living. While Donna has been away on sabbatical, I've had a privileged view of the Newsletter deanship and would like to pass on to you my con ceptualization of the role.

It's thing that characterizes the dean's role it is Winter 1977 that it simultaneously requires an ability to tolerate chaos and to objectify and analyze the logical progression of work to be done.

From The Assistant Dean This work must take place against the backdrop of our operational work, maintaining the curriculum, admitting students, teaching students, faculty productivity, etc. In my experience a "typical" day in the dean's office involves an interaction between these necessary work functions of the organization. On the one hand the dean may have to deal with a pressing curriculum need which demands an instant decision that on the other hand will necessarily impact on long-term planning. For instance, if in an attempt to solve today's budgetary problems the school commits itself to joint clinical appointments in certain settings this decision will impact on our ability five years from now to "shift" our faculty from one setting to another, since their source of finan cial support will be partially dependent on the institution to which they are jointly appointed. Since the dean is one of the few people in the organization with a conceptual overview of all the work of the organization it is the dean who must raise questions about how today's decisions will feature influence tomorrow's planning. In addition, the readers.

The university’s College of Veterinary Medicine was also closely aligned with the AHC at this time, becoming formally incorporated into the AHC in 1985. The development of the AHC made possible the coordination and integration of the education and training of the health care professions and was part of a national trend which saw academic health centers emerge as the dominant institution in American health care in the last third of the 20th century. AHCs became not only the primary sites of health care education, but also critical sites of health sciences research and health care delivery. The University of Minnesota’s Academic Health Center Oral History Project preserves the personal stories of key individuals who were involved with the formation of the university’s Academic Health Center, served in leadership roles, or have specific insights into the institution’s history. By bringing together a representative group of figures in the history of the University of Minnesota’s AHC, this project provides compelling documentation of recent developments in the history of American health care education, practice, and policy. 2 Biographical Sketch John Westerman was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

  • Leadership for Relationship-Based Care Marie Manthey Magnet
    Leadership for Relationship-Based Care Marie Manthey Magnet Conference Plenary Session Delivered October 17, 2004 Good morning. It is my pleasure to introduce the distinguished nurse who developed the concept of Primary Nursing, Marie Manthey. Marie is founder and President Emeritus of Creative Health Care Management, a full-service consultation company specializing in professional practice, management training, staff empowerment, and work redesign. Marie's interest in the delivery of hospital services began in the1960s, when she developed the concept of Primary Nursing. Since that time she has designed and implemented Primary Nursing programs for numerous hospitals. Prior to consulting, Marie held positions at every level of nursing, from staff nurse to vice president for patient services. Marie received her nursing diploma from Saint Elizabeth's Hospital in Chicago, and both her bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Minnesota. In 1994 Marie was elected to the Royal College of Nursing in the United Kingdom, at the time one of only four American nurses to be so honored. In May 1998 she was selected for fellowship in the American Academy of Nursing. Marie has written many articles on timely nursing topics, in addition to the book The Practice of Primary Nursing. It is truly a pleasure to have such a nursing icon among us. Please welcome Marie Manthey. (applause) Good morning. Thank you. I can't tell you what an honor it is to be here in this group of nursing leaders who represent the best in the United States. I am absolutely thrilled to be here.

  • Relationship-Based Care: Primary Nursing As a Practice and Outcomes to Evaluate Effectiveness
    Relationship-Based Care: Primary Nursing as a Practice and Outcomes to Evaluate Effectiveness THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lauren Elizabeth Thacker, RHIA Graduate Program in Allied Medical Professions The Ohio State University 2014 Master's Examination Committee: Melanie S. Brodnik, PhD, RHIA, FAHIMA, Advisor Laurie Rinehart-Thompson, JD, RHIA, CHP, FAHIMA Susan E. White, PhD, RHIA, CHDA Copyright by Lauren Elizabeth Thacker 2014 Abstract The role of the Primary Nurse was introduced under the Relationship-Based Care (RBC) Professional Practice Model at a freestanding cancer center on the campus of one of the nation’s largest public universities. The Primary Nurse Role was established to meet the need for a more patient-centered care delivery model aimed at providing a more caring and healing environment for patients and families. While Primary nursing has been adopted and praised across the country, there is limited research on whether or not Primary Nursing truly impacts a patient’s perception of care or clinical outcomes. In fact, organizations have struggled to show how Primary Nursing activities have impacted patient care. This study explored the Relationship- Based Care nursing framework and its component, Primary Nursing. In order to evaluate the impact of the Primary Nurse role in an inpatient oncology setting, outcome measures included in the analysis were Press Ganey Associates® patient satisfaction questionnaire results, NDNQI (The National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators) results of the Percent of Unit Acquired Pressure Ulcers, Fall Rates as well as Falls with Injury, Assisted and Unassisted Falls and results of Relationship-Based Care (RBC) Primary Nurse Audits that were internally developed to quantify the implementation of the Primary Nurse role.

  • Annotated Table of Contents for Creative Nursing 24 #4
    Annotated Table of Contents for Creative Nursing 24 #4 Cornerstones of Healing: Unleashing Hidden Resources FROM THE EDITOR: Hidden Resources: Inquiry into the Best of What Is, by Marty Lewis-Hunstiger, BSN, RN, MA, retired pediatric nurse and preceptor, editor-in-chief of Creative Nursing, copy editor of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies, and affiliate faculty member at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing in Minneapolis, MN. In our 2018 Creative Nursing exploration of Cornerstones of Healing, we have advocated for Finding Meaning, Advancing Quality and Safety, and Living in the Code of Ethics. This fourth issue depicts how we can master situations of limited resources in insightful, mature, well-organized ways, from an attitude of abundance rather than of scarcity. What kinds of resources? Finances. Personnel (staffing). Time. Energy. Positional power. Other resources that are often underappreciated and underused are personal skills, traits, or habits: Creativity. Leadership. Civility. Tolerance for Ambiguity. Appreciation for heterogeneity. Intentional use of self. Care of self. This editorial’s title is from Gervase Bushe, quoted in our guest editorial: “Appreciative Inquiry is a collective inquiry into the best of what is, in order to imagine what could be, followed by collective design of a desired future state.” This issue of Creative Nursing inspires us to seek out strengths – the best of what is – and apply them, in clients’ and families’ homes; in primary schools, community centers, and senior living facilities; in in-patient units and out-patient clinics, family support groups, and schools of nursing.
