Spring 2008 Bulletin SPRING American Association 2008 for the History of Nursing Bulletin NO. 97 IN THIS ISSUE Changing Context: Message from Continuity of Purpose the President . 1 s historians of nursing we often discover that there are persistent themes that 25th Annual Research A emerge over time, despite constant change Conference . 3 in the social, political, and economic context of various periods of our history. So it is, I think, for In Memoriam: AAHN. Over the past year, AAHN has seen Mary Elizabeth changes in leadership and board members; shifted Carnegie, its center of operations from New Jersey and Jan DPA, RN, FAAN . 4 Fickeissen (Thank you again!) to the Colorado team at the Resource Center for Associations led by Francine Butler and Dave Stumph; and set Professional goals to expand our international connections as Opportunities . 5 Arlene W.

Welcome to Both the social and political context of globaliza - Resource Center . 8 tion and the economic situation in the United States will no doubt be of serious consideration as we move forward as an organization. From my perspective, the“Tip - ping Point” for an international interest in nursing and health care history has Member already been attained, in part due to the ease and speed of internet communication, Accomplishments . 8 and in part due to the personal connections our members have made throughout the world. Most recently, under the leadership of Siobhan Nelson and BarbraWall, Welcome to AAHN and CAHN members representing countries from around the world will New Members . 8 meet inToronto this June and again in Philadelphia next September to discuss the possibility of organizing a“History of Nursing Interest Group” as part of the Inter - national Council of Nurses. (By the way, contact either Barbra or Siobhan if you are Calendar . 12 interested in participating). Meanwhile, we must pay attention to the economic context in which AAHN exists. Today, the limited federal funding for historical nursing research, and the possibility of an economic recession in the U.S. will no doubt effect our work.That said, it is clear to me that we must take steps as an organization not only to ensure our financial sur - vival by increasing our membership and increasing dues, but also to increase our ability to fund historical research by considering financial investment strategies and initiating a capitol campaign. To that end, I challenge each of you to recruit a new member to join us in Philadelphia for our conference in September and once again consider giving $25.00 (or multiples of that amount) for our 25th conference anniver - sary. I will also ask the Finance Committee at this year’s Spring Board meeting to develop a financial investment plan for the future. In addition, I will ask the Board AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE HISTORY OF NURSING BULLETIN members to consider the idea of initiating a“Research Capi - American Association tal Campaign” with the goal of raising a $ 300,000 for the endowment to ensure our ability to fund historical nursing History of Nursing research in the future.

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. I am coming from another exciting event some of you know about, a program we had in Minnesota last weekend: A Summit of Sages.

  • 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. LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Ethics of Organ Donation, by Catherine Garvey, RN, BA, CCTC, Clinical Lead Living Donor Coordinator at MHealth/University of Minnesota from 2000 to 2009.
