Abstract

The purpose of this initiative was to define the development, verification, and evolution of the conceptual model for Professional Identity in Nursing. This action research design occurred over two phases, utilizing observations, a modified Norris process for model development, and focus groups. Analysis consisted of conventional content analysis and the Fawcett method for conceptual model analysis and evaluation. The model was modified, and results are presented based on the model's philosophical underpinnings, content, socialness, and evolution. The model resonates with nurses both in the United States and internationally. The interdependency shown in the model encourages collaboration, accountability, and sustainability within the profession and society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Determining the competencies of temporary staff is a responsibility of hospitals as well as of the temporary staffing company.

Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization standards provide a framework for assessing competencies in the areas of cognitive ability, psychomotor skills, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills. Regional trends affecting outsourcing are also discussed.

Subjects
Wounds and injuries -- Care and treatment, Cost benefit analysis -- Methods, Health
Abstract

A model for assessing the cost-effectiveness of wound care is presented. In the past, the cost of wound care was measured as the cost of the materials used plus the labor costs. Inexpensive materials may be more costly if they must be changed many times a day. Any cost-benefit analysis must specify treatment goals such as healing, pain relief, reduced incidence of infection and quality of life.
