Legally mandated nurse-to-patient ratios are one of the most controversial topics in health care today. Ratio advocates believe that minimum staffing levels are essential for quality care, better working conditions, and higher rates of RN recruitment and retention that would alleviate the current global nursing shortage. Opponents claim that ratios will unfairly burden hospital budgets, while reducing management flexibility in addressing patient needs.
Safety in Numbers is the first book to examine the arguments for and against ratios. Utilizing survey data, interviews, and other original research, Suzanne Gordon, John Buchanan, and Tanya Bretherton weigh the cost, benefits, and effectiveness of ratios in California and the state of Victoria in Australia, the two places where RN staffing levels have been mandated the longest. They show how hospital cost cutting and layoffs in the 1990s created larger workloads and deteriorating conditions for both nurses and their patients—leading nursing organizations to embrace staffing level regulation. The authors provide an in-depth account of the difficult but ultimately successful campaigns waged by nurses and their allies to win mandated ratios. Safety in Numbers then reports on how nurses, hospital administrators, and health care policymakers handled ratio implementation.
With at least fourteen states in the United States and several other countries now considering staffing level regulation, this balanced assessment of the impact of ratios on patient outcomes and RN job performance and satisfaction could not be timelier. The authors' history and analysis of the nurse-to-patient ratios debate will be welcomed as an invaluable guide for patient advocates, nurses, health care managers, public officials, and anyone else concerned about the quality of patient care in the United States and the world.

Описание: Healthcare and technology are at a convergence point where significant changes are poised to take place. The vast and complex requirements of medical record keeping, coupled with stringent patient privacy laws, create an incredibly unwieldy maze of health data needs. While the past decade has seen giant leaps in AI, machine learning, wearable technologies, and data mining capacities that have enabled quantities of data to be accumulated, processed, and shared around the globe. Transforming Healthcare with Big Data and AI examines the crossroads of these two fields and looks to the future of leveraging advanced technologies and developing data ecosystems to the healthcare field.
This book is the product of the Transforming Healthcare with Data conference, held at the University of Southern California. Many speakers and digital healthcare industry leaders contributed multidisciplinary expertise to chapters in this work. Authors’ backgrounds range from data scientists, healthcare experts, university professors, and digital healthcare entrepreneurs. If you have an understanding of data technologies and are interested in the future of Big Data and A.I. in healthcare, this book will provide a wealth of insights into the new landscape of healthcare.

Описание: Provides comprehensive research on the possible applications of machine learning, deep learning, soft computing, and evolutionary computing techniques in the design, implementation, and optimization of healthcare engineering solutions. The book features a range of topics such as genetic algorithms, mobile robotics, and neuroinformatics.
As a student of nursing or another healthcare profession, you have likely been introduced to evidence-based practice (EBP) as a means for addressing clinical problems. The accompanying book will introduce you to EBP's parallel in health policy-evidence-informed health policymaking as a process for addressing health policy problems. It is exciting to think that we, as healthcare providers, can have an impact on the making of good health policy and have the means to influence our policymakers. To do that, we also need to be grounded in the structure and function of government, familiarize ourselves with who represents us in government, and have a beginning understanding of how political systems work. This student workbook is designed as a companion to the primary book, Evidence-Informed Health Policy: Using EBP to Transform Policy in Nursing and Healthcare, which will provide you with the necessary grounding in policy and policymaking, persuade you that evidence can be used to influence policymaking, and which describes an evidence-informed health policymaking model.
PURPOSE AND STRUCTURE
The purpose of the Evidence-Informed Health Policy Student Workbook is to provide learning activities and case studies that relate to each book chapter that will help deepen the student's understanding of government structure, function, and evidence-informed health policymaking. Three chapters provide one accompanying learning activity; each of the remaining chapters provides multiple learning activities. In addition, three case studies are included; each of these focuses on the application of chapter material in the policymaking environment. Every exercise reflects the content of its accompanying chapter; therefore, students should read the chapter, and if specified, focus on certain sections within the chapter prior to completing an exercise or case study. Students may complete all these learning activities, but some instructors may choose only one or two from each chapter that meet the objectives of a particular course. Each learning activity begins with objectives, and many suggest accompanying resource material or additional external resources, and specific instructions.
Nurses and other healthcare professionals are increasingly called upon to engage in the process of policy development and advocate for health policy that will serve the public good. Our hope is that the student workbook will help prepare you for this role by facilitating both your own development of a
beginning policy skill set and a deeper understanding of the health policy environment.

Описание: 'The Human Resources for Health Crisis in Zambia' is part of the World Bank Working Paper series. These papers are published to communicate the results of the Bank's ongoing research and to stimulate public discussion. Despite reporting some health gains since the 1990s, health outcomes remain poor in Zambia and it will be very challenging to achieve the health-related Millennium Development Goals by 2015. The Government of Zambia recognizes that the improvement of child and maternal health and the reduction in mortality from HIV/AIDs and malaria require better access to an appropriate number of wellperforming health workers or human resources for health (HRH). This paper compiles recent evidence on the Zambian health labor market and provides some baseline information on HRH to support the government address its HRH challenges. In addition, the paper analyzes the available evidence on the national health labor market to better understand the number, distribution, and performance of HRH in Zambia.The paper also explains HRH outcomes by mapping, assessing, and analyzing pre-service education and labor market dynamics and well as the core factors influencing these dynamics. This working paper was produced as part of theWorld Bank's Africa Region Health Systems for Outcomes (HSO) Program.The Program, funded by the World Bank, the Government of Norway, the Government of the United Kingdom, and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), focuses on strengthening health systems inAfrica to reach the poor and achieve tangible results related to Health, Nutrition, and Population.The main pillars and focus of the program center on knowledge and capacity building related to Human Resources for Health, Health Financing, Pharmaceuticals, Governance and Service Delivery, and Infrastructure and ICT.
