We asked the question “If your facility were to make a New Year’s resolution, what would it be?” on our Facebook page yesterday.
Below are some of the responses so far. Is there anything else you might add about your facility?
AMAZING HEALTHCARE
better patient care
maybe respect the staff
best patient safety
excellent mental/emotional health assessment and intervention
Every patient everytime!
i double that for respect for staff
It’s all about what’s best for the patients …
From my point of view….give us all a raise no matter how big or small!
Quality care, NOT Quantity care!!!
Free parking
Be COMPLETELY up on EMR by year end
To get the Drs to improve upon their verbal and written communication to nursing staff and to improve Drs understanding of what is meant by palliative care.
Thoughts After an INANE Editors Conference
August 16, 2011Begun almost 30 years ago, the group depends on the goodwill of its 200+ members, who volunteer for Web site operation, take turns organizing the annual meeting, and contribute when needed to support small expenses like mailings, Web site fees, etc.
It’s simple and it works. This year’s conference covered things editors of nursing journals find interesting—copyright, impact factor, ethics, and the like (see INANE’s blog, From the Editor’s Pen—“Cherry Ames” blogged from the conference!), plus a lot of great networking. (Full disclosure: the conference was sponsored by the specialty nursing journals of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, AJN’s publisher.)
I’m always struck by the breadth and variety of nursing knowledge among the members of this group—there’s everything from skin and wound care and infusion practices to broader topics like oncology and home health. (Not to mention a few broad-based journals, like AJN, that cover all of nursing.) The editors of these journals are passionate about meeting the needs of their readers—for some association journals, this means meeting members’ needs while also trying to gain nonmember readers. It might seem easy to figure out what those needs are, but it’s not. Read the rest of this entry ?
