Balanced scorecards for performance management.

Nurse administrators who manage nursing case management programs are challenged to demonstrate the improved quality of patient care and financial outcomes to their organization that result from such programs. This article introduces the balanced scorecard and discusses its benefits and practical concerns for adopting the scorecard. The balanced scorecard is a useful performance management tool used to both evaluate and direct case management performance in meeting organizational missions and strategies.

[Analysis of the nursing interventions performed by public health nurses in health centers using the NIC].

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify nursing interventions performed by public health nurses in health centers. METHOD: Data was collected by the taxonomy of Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC 3rd: 486 nursing interventions) from 131 public health nurses in health centers and analyzed using descriptive statistics. RESULT: As its result, more than 50% of public health nurses performed 137 nursing interventions at least monthly. The most frequently used intervention class was "activity and exercise management", followed by "physical comfort promotion", "community health promotion", "life span care", "coping assistance", "self care facilitation", "information management", "nutrition support", "community risk management" and "patient education". One hundred twenty nursing interventions were rarely performed by 90% or more of the nurses. Most of them were in the physical complex domain. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, 137 interventions were performed by public health nurses at least monthly. NIC is helpful to build a standardized language for public health nursing.

Telehealth technology in case/disease management.

Case managers can better coordinate and facilitate chronic illness care by adopting telehealth technology. This article overviews four major categories of telehealth technology based on patients' roles in self-management: surveillance, testing peripherals and messaging, decision support aids, and online support groups related to patients' subordinate, structured, collaborative, and autonomous roles, respectively. These various telehealth technologies should be selected on the basis of patients' care needs and preferences. Moreover, when they are integrated with other clinical information systems, case management practice can be better performed. However, the specific role functions and skill sets needed to be competent in telehealth environments have not yet been clearly identified. Considering role ambiguity and stress among telehealth clinicians, clarifying relevant roles is an urgent task.
