Information systems analysis approach in hospitals: a national survey.
A survey of 216 hospitals reveals that some hospitals do not conduct cost-benefit analyses or analyze possible adverse effects in feasibility studies. In determining and analyzing system requirements, external factors that initiate the transaction are not examined, and computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools are seldom used. Some hospitals do not investigate the advantages and disadvantages of using in-house-developed software versus purchased software packages in the evaluation of alternatives. The survey finds that, overall, most hospitals follow the traditional systems development life cycle (SDLC) approach in analyzing information systems.

The validity of Mobley's (1977) model of employee turnover.
Unlike earlier tests of an oversimplified version of this model, the validity of W. Mobley's (1977, Journal of Applied Psychology, 62, 237-240) original turnover model was fully investigated. Constructs that were neglected in prior studies were assessed and previously examined constructs were operationalized with more reliable measures. Measures of all constructs in Mobley's model were obtained from a survey of 192 hospital employees. Turnover data were collected a year following survey administration. Following the theoretical causal ordering of Mobley's constructs, each construct was regressed on all causally prior constructs. In general, each construct was accurately predicted by the linear combination of predictors representing its causal determinants. In the majority of instances, the best predictor of a model construct was the construct's immediate causal antecedent. Further, an alternative model was evaluated and compared with Mobley's model using path analysis.

Dental disease preventive programs in a rural Appalachian population.
The objective of the dental disease prevention and early intervention program at Youngstown State University is to 1) educate future dental hygienists on the provision of primary care in a non-traditional dental care setting and 2) provide access to preventive and simple restorative care for an underserved rural Appalachian population. Through their education in dental public health courses, students are prepared to provide preventive oral healthcare services to underserved populations in non-traditional clinical settings. Senior dental hygiene students in the dental public health course sequence work in pairs, along with a supervising dentist using a mobile dental unit at the Child and Family Health Services Clinic in Lisbon, Ohio. Ninety-eight hours of preventive oral health services and simple restorative care were provided in 1996. Student evaluations of the overall extramural clinical experience were positive. The program is an example of a collaborative community-based approach to meet the oral health needs of low-income families.
