Human Resources -- Performance Management and Organizational Effectiveness
Nurse socialization can be significantly aided by case management. The inclusive, team-oriented, patient-centered approach to case management develops powerful dimensions of the nurse, the nurse-patient relationship, the healthcare team and the healthcare environment. Unfortunately, the traditional patriarchal system found in current healthcare militates against this most effective development and usage of case management.
One way in which nurses learn their roles and functions in the healthcare system is through Case Management. For example, through Newman's model of nurse case management, the nurse can: review the totality of circumstances; focus on the "caring and commitment" aspect of service; learn and honor a patient's choices and goals; assist the patient in reaching educated decisions; raise the quality of care while reducing costs; expand his/her work with patients to assist them in settings outside the nurse's set service area; and employ a team-oriented approach to care (Butts & Rich, 2010, p. 460). These aspects of nurse case management can assist the nurse in developing powerful dimensions of the nurse-patient relationship, such as: "pattern recognition" of the client in all applicable medical/social settings and of illness as a...
460). Clearly, this comprehensive use of case management by the nurse individually and as a team member leads to effective assumption of the nursing role, as the nurse is increasingly able to learn and honor each patient's circumstances in order to render the most effective and service.
The current patriarchal, male physician-focused nature of the healthcare system militates against the nurse socialization espoused in Newman's approach to case management. Newman's approach celebrates and thoroughly uses the whole-human and often feminine characteristics that best develop the case management dimensions of pattern recognition, rhythm and timing, opening of the self to…

New Nurses and Managers: Organizational Analysis As the nursing profession evolves and rises to meet modern demands, we are faced with growing complexities in our profession and in our workplaces. From the orientation and socialization of new nurses and managers, to the selection processes for preceptors and mentors, to continuing education, to legal and ethical issues, the modern nurse is faced with complicated situations and elaborate organizations that require his/her continuing
Stress Management in the Caregiver Setting An increasing body of evidence points to the intensity of the labor involved in caring, and the impact it has on the caregiver in a healthcare setting. Whether lay or professional, it seems that the potential for suffering among caregivers is enormous. When a person reaches a state of physical, emotional or mental exhaustion, burnout occurs, and it appears to affect both lay and professional
Pharmaceutical industries have to operate in an environment that is highly competitive and subject to a wide variety of internal and external constraints. In recent times, there has been an increasing trend to reduce the cost of operation while competing with other companies that manufacture products that treat similar afflictions and ailments. The complexities in drug research and development and regulations have created an industry that is subject to intense
Nurses can frame a personalized clinical plan accordingly. The plan can empower the patient as well as his nurse. By using a family-centered model approach, the nurse can collaborate closely with the patient's family, who knows his temperament better (Ranger & Campbell-Yeo). Clinical Case 1: Sciatica Mrs. J. K, aged 42, has had stiffness and aching in the lumbar region when rising or sitting down for six now (Boger 1994). Her
Ethics is a grey area in many instances within the medical community. Ethical codes help by providing guidance that allow for professional judgment or discretion and the idiosyncratic nature surrounding ethical dilemmas. As mentioned in the first lecture concerning ethics, ethics is mostly observed as being a serious reflective activity essentially concerned with a methodical inspection of the ethical life (Callaghan & Ryan, 2012). It is intended to illuminate what
Indeed, effective problem solving in these circumstances often requires high levels of creative collaboration (Richards, 2007a, p. 34). In recognition of this reality, employers consistently name the ability to work together creatively as a primary and crucial skill -- even though many organizations have created cultures that undercut individual and collective creativity. In order to solve this problem there is a need of a comprehensive review of the facility management
