Using change dynamics to implement a new software system in the OR.

Abstract

Even though goals are essential, maintenance of rapport and communication must not be overlooked when the leader focuses on the overall plan. When the leader shows understanding toward those living with the day-to-day challenges of change, the staff and leader are brought together as a team. The effective leader also must learn to distinguish between barriers that must be confronted and those that should be avoided to lessen potential for permanent damage to relationships. Change managed effectively provides opportunities for growth as a team as well as integration of new practices.

[Sexual abuse of children: the necessity of medical intervention].

Recently the Dutch Health Council published a report on the medical aspects of sexual abuse of children. The questions underlying this report reflect an attempt to arrive at hard indices of sexual abuse in children through the assessment of physical symptoms. For the medical assessment, the authors refer to the Dutch translation of an English report entitled Physical signs of sexual abuse in children, published by The Royal College of Physicians. The hazards connected with the exclusive focus on physical symptoms are recognized, and the authors stress that medical examination should be part of a much broader assessment of the child and his/her family. However, instead of confining themselves to assessment issues of physical symptoms, the authors add a rather meagre account of behavioural and emotional factors relevant to the diagnosis of sexual abuse of children. Unfortunately, this approach seems to aggravate the problems underlying misdiagnosis rather than to increase diagnostic accuracy and improve adequate care for sexually abused children.
