Nurse managers making a difference: creating a healing place.

Abstract

As the "point person" in developing patient care delivery systems, the nurse manager has the ability to shift the care environment from one driven by high technology to one that restores harmony and wholeness to patients and families. In developing a healing environment, the nurse manager must consider three main elements: (1) the philosophy or conceptual framework by which care is delivered; (2) psychoarchitectural designs; and (3) the use of healing arts modalities. Care of patients and families under the new paradigm of healing health care can provide one of the highest quality outcomes: the patient's experience of healing.

Room for improvement: nurses' perceptions of providing care in a single room newborn intensive care setting.

Theoretically, single patient room newborn intensive care units are designed to optimize the developmental outcomes of critically ill infants by providing individual patient environments with decreased stimulation and noise. This article reports the perceptions of 127 neonatal intensive care nurses after the move into a single room neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The observations of the nurses were obtained using a questionnaire to identify some of the benefits, risks, and specific patient safety concerns related to the single room NICU design. The results suggest that in this setting the single patient room concept was deemed superior for patient care and parent satisfaction when compared to the large open unit. However, the nurses emphasize that the success of single room care model primarily depends on providing sufficient staff coverage, given the decreased patient visibility and greater distances between patients. Larger units also present unique communication, staff education, and quality improvement challenges. To further evaluate the impact of single room designs we evaluated data on important clinical issues, specifically noise levels and catheter-related infections provide objective measures of important improvements. Noise levels decreased from an average of 63 to 56 decibels and catheter-associated bloodstream infections fell from 10.1 per 1000 device days to 3.3 per 1000 device days in the 9 months after the move to single patient rooms. This article provides pragmatic design suggestions that should be prospectively considered to minimize staff isolation and stress.

Safe design of healthcare facilities.

The physical environment has a significant impact on health and safety; however, hospitals have not been designed with the explicit goal of enhancing patient safety through facility design. In April 2002, St Joseph's Community Hospital of West Bend, a member of SynergyHealth, brought together leaders in healthcare and systems engineering to develop a set of safety-driven facility design recommendations and principles that would guide the design of a new hospital facility focused on patient safety. By introducing safety-driven innovations into the facility design process, environmental designers and healthcare leaders will be able to make significant contributions to patient safety.
