Time management in health care social work.

Health care social workers face significant problems in controlling and managing time. Among the causes are increased demands for service, economy measures in health care, and the concurrent responsibility which social workers often have for both ongoing case management and crisis coverage. Individuals and social work departments can increase productivity through streamlining case management, increasing use of available resources, and generating new resources. With planning and preparation, many emergencies can be moved into the expected work flow. The social work profession needs to address time management problems and expectations in a more realistic and systematic way.

Time management. A reminder.

Although we are all aware of our need to "manage" time, we frequently get bogged down in the many tasks of the job and find that fewer and fewer of our activities relate to the managerial functions of planning, organizing, directing, and controlling. This article presents a guide for assessing and changing time-wasting behaviors.

Time management in education.

The topic of time management is an area that is very important to today's nurse educationalist, especially with the ever increasing demands being made upon her time. In this paper the writer examines the concept of time management, and some of the issues which should be given due consideration by anyone who is contemplating developing the skills required for success in managing time effectively. The work utilises ideas which enable one to take a problem solving approach to the subject. Here the reader will also find a selection of possible solutions that have been put forward from various sources, many of which the writer has tried herself and found to be extremely helpful in tackling her own problems in this area. One point that is reiterated throughout, is the very personal nature of time management and the fact that it is up to the individual to choose the most useful method in order to achieve an efficient and effective approach to the management of time, hopefully resulting in greater control and equally as important--'peace of mind'.

The effect of time-management training on employee attitudes and behavior: a field experiment.

This field experiment tested for the effect of time-management training on 56 employees at an Australian manufacturing company, half of whom attended a 3-day training program and half of whom did not. The training group subjects rated their management of time significantly higher after the program than did the group who did not attend the training program. The diary entries of the trained subjects over a 2-week period after the training program were also rated by three superiors as exhibiting significantly better time management than the diary entries of the untrained group. Given that subjects had been randomly assigned to the two conditions, these results suggest that appropriate training can cause employees to improve how they manage their time at work.

Microfiche vs. computerized Poisindex: the impact on time management.

A prospective study was conducted to compare access-to-information times using Poisindex on microfiche versus the computerized version. A time study was conducted in 2 separate phases in the Pittsburgh Poison Center by professional time management engineers who observed certified poison information specialists. The microfiche phase was completed as a portion of a more extensive time management study, and the phase to evaluate the computerized version was completed 9 months after the system had been implemented to insure standardized competency. Access time was defined as the length of time required for the initial information to appear on either the microfiche viewer or the CRT. The average access time for microfiche use was 37.2 sec compared to 18.0 sec for the computerized version, an improvement of 106%. Based upon an annual volume of approximately 40,000 cases, the 19.2 sec savings in access time results in a time savings of 213 hours per year. To generate time savings equivalent to a 0.5 FTE position, a reduction of 1.47 min/call in the overall processing time is necessary. However, the time savings may improve patient care through easier and more extensive access to information and may allow more time for thorough documentation.

Teaching mentally retarded adults to time-manage in a vocational setting.

Three retarded adults who had minimal ability to tell time were trained to "time-manage." Each was given a card with clock face representations on which the hands of the clock were drawn, representing each trainee's assigned lunch and break times. Instruction was given before work to perform each of the required behaviors when the "real" clock matched the clock faces. Praise was given following correct responses, and reprimands, instruction, and, in some instances, delay or omission of the scheduled activity followed incorrect responses. Pre-instruction and instructional feedback were then sequentially withdrawn. Results indicated that the package consisting of pre-instruction, instructional feedback, and picture cues was effective in producing independent time management responding. When the first two components were withdrawn, two trainees maintained high levels of correct responding. Correct responding decreased for one trainee when pre-instruction was withdrawn. Reintroduction and subsequent withdrawal of the components resulted in maintenance by this trainee. Little improvement in time-telling ability resulted.

Time-management study of trauma resuscitation.

A prospective time-management analysis of trauma resuscitation (TR) of 431 patients arriving at a university trauma center documents timing and organization. Severity of injury, patient age, and potential airway injury were significant factors increasing the duration of TR up to a certain time (36 minutes). Moderately injured patients required less time (under 25 minutes). Patients needing emergent operations spent a minimal amount of time (20 minutes) in TR. Potential injuries involving the airway or cervical spine, or shock, added minutes. A review of the timing and organization of TR suggests the need for improvement in airway assessment and management. Patients with certain mechanisms of injury and elderly patients with blunt injuries required additional time in TR. With surgery faculty supervision and senior resident attendance, the month of resident experience had no effect on TR times. A timely and organized TR is critical to trauma care. TR times should be documented for quality assurance and ongoing review.

Making every minute count: effective time management.

Managing ourselves and putting first things first. That's the essence of fourth-wave time management. It's about prioritizing, organizing with set priorities in mind and finding the discipline to achieve these goals. If you and your team can master this, the important, not the urgent, will dictate how you use your time.
