This book is an ethnographic study, which examines the dialectical interplay between a large, impersonal managed care system and the activities of everyday multi-disciplinary practice conducted in health service organizations. The materiality of the managed care system and its connections to the clinical practice setting cannot easily be known. But the various ideological elements of this managed care system have a core structure associated with a new economic paradigm. Corporatist ideological discourses have gained some prominence in health care, affecting people practices and health care organization and suggesting this study. Three organizational accounts obtained from locales in Australia, Canada and the US are constructed as ethnographic texts. The accounts are representations of how corporatized belief systems ‘interpellate’, in various ways, everyday practices actions and behaviours. The accounts describe the diverse and complex ways in which organizational officials and multi-disciplinary practitioners know and experience everyday practice in the new economic environment...

The themes of Victorian nursing are developed within eleven topics. Each topic illustrates the ideas and meanings governing nursing practice in the Victorian period. Each topic has audio clips and slide shows. 200 photos and cartoons are used in the CD. The photos were collected by sorting through various historical collections in state libraries and hospitals. Through graphics, sound and a textual interaction, the CDROM depicts the Victorian era in Australian nursing. It includes archival material, largely inaccessible and sometimes unpublished from the Temby Collection, Alfred Hospital, and other sources. Developed with a team of multi-media experts. The strategy of blending text, photography, and brief narratives is used to illustrate the interplay of dominant themes of the Victorian epoch. Before production was complete a number of peer review evaluations from noted historians were conducted with outstanding reviews.
Instructional and theoretical application
The instructional design and theoretical framework captured in the multi-media design can be applied at different learning levels and has different levels of application.
At a general level, the CDROM provides descriptive information on Australian nursing history, which can be enjoyed simply through the visual appeal of viewing photographs. User/learners are able to capture key elements of Australian nursing history within a few hours.
At an applied level, the CDROM has heuristic value. It provides understandings of Australian nursing’s past, from which the user/learner can consider the present. In other words, the user/learner can learn from the past in order to understand the present and find direction for the future.
At an analytical level, the CDROM can provide for an exploration of Australian nursing history as a ‘history of the historical present’ - that is, to understand the ways in which the past determines the present. At this level the user/learner is challenged to consider the political context of a constellation of forces, from the past, which shape contemporary nursing practice. The theoretical premise, at this level, suggests that the user/learner should move beyond the single function of just viewing photographs, and enter into the matrix of aesthetics and language. The user/learner, for example, is able to cross historical epochs in a relatively short time and to see, for example, that photographs and artistic works become authentic only to the extent that they represent sets of ideas that predominate at a particular time. In this manner, professional nursing and its practice can be seen to be shaped by multiple and discursive meanings structuring caring activities. Overall, the user/learner is shown more than the stereotypical view of the nurse – as predominantly represented for an epoch.

These patients require a multi-skilled approach to support complex care and social support needs as they are typically high users of health, community, and social services. In Australia, workforce structures have not kept pace with this new and emerging workforce. The aim of the study was to develop, map, and analyse workforce functions of a care coordination team. Methods: Workflow modelling informed the development of an activity log that was used to collect workflow data in 2013 from care coordinators located within the care coordination service offered by a Local Health Network in Australia. The activity log comprised a detailed classification of care coordination functions based on two major categoriesdirect and indirect care. Direct care functions were grouped into eight domains. A descriptive quantitative investigation design was used for data analysis. The data was analysed using univariate descriptive statistics with results presented in tables and a figure.

To report a concept analysis of nursing-sensitive indicators within the applied context of the acute care setting. Background. The concept of 'nursing sensitive indicators' is valuable to elaborate nursing care performance. The conceptual foundation, theoretical role, meaning, use and interpretation of the concept tend to differ. The elusiveness of the concept and the ambiguity of its attributes may have hindered research efforts to advance its application in practice. Design. Concept analysis. Data sources. Using 'clinical indicators' or 'quality of nursing care' as subject headings and incorporating keyword combinations of 'acute care' and 'nurs*', CINAHL and MEDLINE with full text in EBSCOhost databases were searched for English language journal articles published between 2000-2012. Only primary research articles were selected. Methods. A hybrid approach was undertaken, incorporating traditional strategies as per Walker and Avant and a conceptual matrix based on Holzemer's Outcomes Model for Health Care Research. Results. The analysis revealed two main attributes of nursing-sensitive indicators. Structural attributes related to health service operation included: hours of nursing care per patient day, nurse staffing. Outcome attributes related to patient care included: the prevalence of pressure ulcer, falls and falls with injury, nosocomial selective infection and patient/family satisfaction with nursing care.

The aims are to describe the components of the NSRM concept, to explain why such a model needs to be developed and to explore methodological issues in the development of a NSRM. The concept is important to address as it may illuminate a most pressing problem faced by the Australian health care industry where the content and activity of nursing practice is not embedded as computer processable data in health information system structures. Digital documentation of nursing content and activity is urgently needed to enable reliable electronic processing of nursing services. However, it is necessary, prior to this, to develop a reference model that describes the range of nursing services in an unambiguous manner.

A purposive sample of 21 older carers who were “new” carers was selected for the study.Measures: Locus of control (LOC), Short Form 12, depression anxiety stress scale, and questionnaire.Results: Participants embraced the wellness guide as an excellent resource. It changed their behavior and improved their health on LOC measures, although changes in physical and mental health were not statistically significant.Conclusions: The wellness guide assisted carers' preparedness for their role and enhanced their sense of personal control over demanding situations.
