Crafting strategy: a constituency plan for the future.

1. The difference in planning and crafting strategy is the level of involvement in the process. It is the crafting of strategy that requires the involvement of state and local constituencies. 2. Creating vision enables constituencies to clarify and realize what they really want, independently of what presently seems possible at the state or local level. 3. By developing an ideal reality or vision first, a bridge can be built between the current and desired organization without loss of purpose. The purpose of the organization is defined by AAOHN's Mission Statement. 4. The bridge is built by using a decision making process similar to the nursing process.

On-site occupational health nursing services: estimating the net savings: Part I.

1. The following question can be successfully answered with a well developed quantitative assessment model: Is more money likely to be saved from the services of an on-site occupational health nursing program than is expended in providing these services? 2. The focus of this evaluation should be restricted to the net cost savings from the direct substitution of on-site for off-site provision of occupational health nursing services by such programs. 3. The evaluation model requires estimates of five separate factors for each occupational health nursing service provided by such programs that directly substitute for its off-site provision.

On-site occupational health nursing services: estimating the net savings: Part II.

1. A primary management use of this quantitative assessment model is to estimate the overall net cost savings from operating an entire on-site occupational health nursing program. 2. Another management use of this model is to estimate the net cost savings contributed by individual occupational health nursing services included in the on-site program. 3. The exclusive focus of the model on the net cost savings arising from the direct substitution of on-site for off-site occupational health nursing services can be extended with the application of a break even analysis. 4. A sensitivity analysis can be applied to factors of the model to help overcome the effects of substantial uncertainty concerning their estimates.

Measuring satisfaction with medical case management. A quality improvement tool.

Medical case management's purpose is to improve the quality of health care and decrease medical expenses associated with high cost medical cases. Patient satisfaction can be used as a measure of the quality of medical case management. This investigation resulted in a reliable and valid questionnaire for assessing patient satisfaction and demonstrated mild satisfaction with the medical case management services of a vendor for a large manufacturer. Occupational health nurses can use this questionnaire to document the quality of medical case management that employees or their dependents are receiving and to assess the value received in conjunction with the costs incurred.
