Theoretic explorations of human care and economics: foundations of nursing administration practice.

This article presents a theoretic model that identifies the philosophies, theories, and concepts that influence the practice of nursing administration. Components of the model include philosophy, organizational theory, nursing theory, economics, and human care. An understanding of the model components allows the nursing administrator to approach his or her role with a deeper understanding of the complexities of being a nursing leader in an organizational setting. An empirical study was conducted that led to modifications of the theoretic model to reflect the current practice of nursing administration. The revised model is intended to serve as an integrative model for the practice of nursing administration.

In this article, the author describes a research project which examined human care and economics in the hospital nursing environment.

Attitude of Health Personnel

This article explores how organizations (including hospitals), which originated as bureaucracies, need to change their format. Nurses can have great impact on organizations as they serve as "Professnocrats" who understand that professional goals and bureaucratic goals can be integrated in health care organizations of the future.
