Excellence in nursing management. Competency-based selection and development.

The promotion of nurses to nurse management positions usually is based on traditional criteria, such as formal education, professional experience, and technical expertise. An exploratory Hay Group pilot study, however, shows that these criteria have little correlation to a candidate's probability of success as a manager. Instead, an entirely different set of desirable nurse manager competencies was revealed. According to the pilot study, qualities such as self-confidence, high achievement orientation, analytical thinking, and persuasive skills are far more important determinants of success among nurse managers.

Sex, race, age, and education variables in Shipley-Hartford scores of alcoholic inpatients.

Administered the Shipley-Hartford Institute of Living Scale to 376 inpatients at a municipal hospital for the treatment of alcoholism. The results indicate that all of the independent variables under study-sex, race, age, and education - have a significant effect on one or more of the Shipley-Hartford scores. As these are considered extraneous variables whether the test is used to measure intelligence or organicity, group means ae provided as rough approximations to correct for bias. The results also provide some support for the validity of the Conceptual Quotient as an indication of organic impairment.

The shape of things to come: Part 5. Getting peak performance in the knowledge-based organization.

Previous articles in this series have examined several methods to enhance performance in healthcare organizations. We have described the flattened, fluid, outcome-oriented organizational structures that characterize successful healthcare enterprises. We have looked at the elements of organizational culture that distinguish successful hospitals. We have seen how cutting-edge institutions design compensation programs to spur and reward extraordinary results. And we have analyzed competency-based techniques for selecting and developing high performance people. This article addresses the key that will bring all of these together to gain a competitive advantage: knowing how to motivate employees to peak performance.
