Using volunteer visitors in home care.

A visiting nurse association used a critical job analysis of the nurse care manager's position to create a home visitor role for volunteers. The process for planning, designing, and implementing a Volunteer Visitor Program is described as a strategy for extending care and services to the growing number of frail elderly. This program has resulted in more effective and efficient use of the nurse care manager while containing costs for the agency and the client.

Developing a quality assurance program through teamwork.

Clinic nurses and nursing faculty members collaborated to develop a quality assurance program appropriate to three different clinic sites. The nurse consultants maintained a supportive, rather than a leadership, role while guiding the three groups of clinic nurses through the change process structured around the familiar structure, process, outcome framework. Regularly scheduled meetings and the cooperative distribution and accomplishment of clearly defined tasks not only have produced an excellent standardized nursing quality assurance program but also forged a dynamic nursing team.
