A collaborative effort in using telecommunications to enhance learning.

Abstract

A consortium of three educational institutions was developed to respond to a possible need for educational programs in the workplace through teleconferencing technology. Based on survey findings, a pilot project of three educational programs was presented. Evaluation of the adequacy of such programming indicated its success in the use of such technology. The effort was unique because there was unprecedented collaboration among nurse executives, nurse educators, the Pennsylvania Nurses Association, the Hospital Association of Pennsylvania, and WITF, the publicly owned telecommunications center.

Hospitals' responses to nurse staffing shortages.

Hospitals have used a mix of short-term and long-term strategies to deal with nurse shortages, particularly efforts emphasizing nurse education, competitive compensation, and temporary staff. Interviews with health care leaders from Round Five of the Community Tracking Study indicate that these activities, in conjunction with other factors, have assisted in reducing shortages of hospital nurses. However, hospitals' actions have increased costs and raised concerns about their potential impact on patient care. Additionally, a large degree of doubt exists among hospitals about their ability to meet future nursing needs.
