Moving from Productivity to Professional Value Model of the Hospital-Based Registered Nurse

Billings, Crystal Maree 01 January 2015 (has links)
There is a gap between organizational commitment to professional value of the nurse and the achievement of quality outcomes. This study explored the relationship between the productivity model and the professional value (PVS) model of the hospital-based registered nurse (RN). It was essential to understand how to measure nursing's contribution to patient care as a means to promote patient care outcomes. The current professional nursing dynamic provides an unprecedented opportunity for nurses to achieve their highest professional potential through increased demonstration of advocacy and accountability for the central tenets of nursing. The intent of this project was to explore the elements of the professional nursing workforce in a modern-day hospital. This study was conducted on the medical, surgical, progressive care unit (PCU) and critical care unit (CCU) of a community-based acute care hospital Washington State. A quantitative approach was undertaken utilizing a descriptive correlational study design. RNs on the identified units received electronic invitation and survey via organizational email system, resulting in a participation rate of 47.1% (N=48). The study found that PVS model achievement explained patient outcome variable variance (fall rate 86.4%, HAPU 83.1% and CAUTI 40.9%). Further, large effect size (98%) with work unit variance was demonstrated with PVS model achievement. The innovative PVS model was found to demonstrate a statistically significant difference from existing productivity model, and alignment of RN staffing with organizational quality goals. Recognizing the professional value of the RN could promote meaningful change in the healthcare landscape and optimize patient care and quality outcomes.

Lost in Translation: An Exploration of Professional Values in Cross-cultural Design Practice

Liu, Lian 15 May 2013 (has links)
Globalization has drawn Canadian design firms to projects in many parts of the world and cross-cultural design projects are now a significant part of landscape architecture practice. However, currently there are few studies that discuss the issues and challenges associated with these projects. Through exploring the relationship between professional values and the design process, this research intended to identify issues and provide resolutions associated with cross-cultural design projects. A literature review and interviews of experienced design professionals show that professional values affect the design process. In a cross-cultural design project, different value systems from multiple cultures interact and influence each other, creating issues and challenges, but also inspiring new design ideas. The research suggests that understanding values and the professional value system could help landscape architects identify issues and improve both the processes and the products of cross-cultural design projects.
