Camera literacy: understanding OR video systems.

Abstract

1. Video camera systems are becoming standard equipment in operating rooms, meaning that OR nurses are faced with more complex equipment to prepare for surgery and, in some instances, operating the cameras. 2. Video camera systems have three main components: the camera, the camera control unit, and the monitor. 3. The camera operator must be well-trained in aseptic technique and have an understanding of the procedure to be performed.

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.
