Consultants: when to look outside for help.

Consultants not only provide an objective opinion, but they also bring complementary expertise to a nursing organization. If used appropriately, they can be both productive and cost-effective to the nursing organization. Nurse managers need to address the following issues: when to look for outside assistance; how to select the appropriate nursing consultant; what to expect from a consulting engagement; and how to evaluate the performance of a consultant.

Familial hollow visceral myopathy with varying urological manifestations.

A family with hereditary hollow visceral myopathy is described, with characteristic variation in expression between affected members. Very severe and widespread involvement of the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts in 1 patient contrasted with isolated urinary tract involvement in 2 others, and it is suggested that hollow visceral myopathy should be considered in the differential diagnosis of primary detrusor failure. The management of urinary tract involvement is discussed and a conservative approach is recommended.

So, your nursing management system doesn't work.

NMIS systems can be of great assistance to the nursing department. Unless the patient acuity/classification portion of your NMIS is meeting your needs, the efforts needed to maintain and run the system will be useless. If your hospital is experiencing difficulties with its NMIS, studying potential problem areas might help to clarify the problem. If your hospital has purchased and is planning to implement a NMIS, you should actively involve all levels of nursing management and staff. To assure the system will meet your needs, ask questions and discover the answers throughout the implementation process. If you are planning to purchase a NMIS, a requirements definition study would be worth your time and effort. Your requirements for the system should be in writing to the potential vendor, thus allowing the vendor to respond to each of the requirements in a written proposal.
