Abstract:
Little is known about the relationship between registered nurses’ (RNs’) knowledge of nursing documentation, their attitudes towards this documentation, and how they perceive the importance of the forms used in the documentation process within residential aged care. The current study has several aims. This investigation sought to gain a measure of RNs’ knowledge of, and attitudes towards documentation, and assess their perception of the importance of forms used to document care. There were two phases of study. Study 1 utilised a cross-sectional, retrospective design with a large sample of RNs

Abstract:
There still appears to be much to do to make the National Health Service in England a safer place for patients. Hospitals, in particular, are complex organisations in which staff and processes are under the twin simultaneous demands of an increasingly aged society and severe financial constraints. While much health care is well delivered, there remains a need to predict, and to explore, where and why problems occur. This thesis presents work which has refined methods and tools that can be used at health system and organisation levels to explore some key safety and quality issues in health care

Abstract:
<p> The current environment of healthcare requires organizations to look at each department and each employee from an economic vantage and to consider at all viable options for cost containment. An organization&rsquo;s Medical Staff Office has traditionally taken responsibility for providing the credentials and privileging function for organizations. The amount of work and time as well as seasonal fluctuations in the number of applicants proves difficult for an organization from a staffing and budgetary standpoint. For many organizations, the ability to outsource its credentialing functions

Abstract:
Healthcare managers have a responsibility for the standard of their services and patient care delivered. Their work is thought to be essential in achieving and improving high quality care and patient safety. However, little is empirically known about their role in this. This thesis investigates acute care managerial work and impact in the context of quality of care and patient safety. It draws upon power and work-activity group theories and literature from other industries to guide investigation and elucidate findings. The introductory Chapters (Chapters 1-3) provide the background context of

Abstract:
Background: In response to the need for more comprehensive quality assessment within Australian residential aged care facilities, the Clinical Care Indicator (CCI) Tool was developed to collect outcome data as a means of making inferences about quality. A national trial of its effectiveness and a Brisbane-based trial of its use within the quality improvement context determined the CCI Tool represented a potentially valuable addition to the Australian aged care system. This document describes the next phase in the CCI Tool.s development; the aims of which were to establish validity and reliabil

Abstract:
This thesis explored the relationship between the discourses of nursing care, the nursing care provision, and the perceived nursing care needs of three highly dependent residents in a residential aged care facility in Australia. Residential aged care in this country has undergone major reforms since 1987 and the nursing profession has struggled with these changes because of the documentation, validation, and accreditation requirements; the inadequate determination of dependency on nursing care for funding; the Registered Nurse (RN) being removed from the bedside to a role of scribe and delegat

Abstract:
The need to address the issue of quality in aged care service provision in Australia has received increasing emphasis in recent decades. Particularly since the 1980s, the federal government has played a key role in ensuring that this is the case through the implementation of various reforms and regulatory strategies. In 1998, the national standards monitoring system which had been in place since the mid 1980s was replaced with a new system based on an accreditation model. In contrast to the former system which was wholly controlled by government and involved one-off inspections by government s

Abstract:
The current literature suggests one of the challenges of nursing today is to meet the health care needs of the growing older population, people over the age of 65. Quality of nursing is important for acutely ill older people who are the largest group of patients in terms of hospital admissions. The ageing population is a major focus for social and economic planners and policy makers. There is an increasing need for health systems to change their focus to more closely assess strategies used to manage the acutely ill older hospital population. The main aim of this study was to improve the qualit
