Factors that influence patient satisfaction in the emergency department.

This descriptive correlation study examined the satisfaction levels of urgent and nonurgent patients in relation to nursing care, the emergency department (ED) environment, ancillary services, and information received. The sample consisted of 28 subjects, with the majority of patients being very satisfied with nursing care. The primary area of concern was information about the length of waiting time. The satisfaction levels of ED patients with the care they receive has become increasingly important in today's health care environment. ED nurses play an important role in ensuring that patients are satisfied and receive quality care.

Demonstration projects in community-based prevention.

Community-based demonstration projects represent the translation of research findings into practice. This article discusses the scientific basis for demonstration projects and illustrates various principles through two large-scale programs: the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research Centers and the Community-Based Public Health initiative. These programs have shown several key components for success, including: building effective partnerships, using existing data effectively, adopting a causal model in intervention design, employing appropriate evaluation techniques, using policy change as an intervention, and utilizing the potential of community groups to foster change among professional partners.

Physicians for the American homelands.

Academic health centers in the United States are in danger of becoming more and more irrelevant to the non-tertiary, primary health care needs of modern society. This paper explores options to respond to one segment that repeatedly has been demonstrated to be in distress: rural health care. Recommendations are made about selective recruitment into medical and other health schools to address the issue, early professional socialization, curricular reform, and the types of technical assistance that academic centers might well provide to rural practitioners and caregiver institutions.
