Organizing a Successful Local or Regional Conference
Published in Lynne M. Bianchi, Research during Medical Residency, 2022

For example, the planning group may determine all health care professionals in the country would benefit from the event, but your resources and budget accommodate only a few hundred attendees. Thus, you would revise your target audience to a subset of health care workers, such as those from specific institutions or professional societies.
Fundamentals of mental health assessment for non–mental health practitioners
Published in Nicola Neale, Joanne Sale, Developing Practical Nursing Skills, 2022
Although never fully complete, as information gathering will continue throughout contact and care, once data is collected, it will initiate the next aspect of the process. Or it may be that at this point you will complete your referral to a specialist mental health team for them to undertake a full in-depth mental health assessment. Analysis or diagnosis (formulate a nursing diagnosis by using clinical judgement; what is wrong with the person): depression, psychosis, substance abuse? How is their physical health?Planning (develop a care plan that incorporates goals, potential outcomes, interventions) – referral to another service, hospital admission treatment/medication/discharge with or without aftercare.Implementation (perform the task or intervention).Evaluation (was the intervention successful or unsuccessful) – assessing and evaluating.

By definition, a summary captures only a particular aspect of the data being studied; consequently, it is important to have an idea of how well the summary represents the set of measurements as a whole. For example, we might wish to know how long HIV/AIDS patients survive after diagnosis with one of the opportunistic infections that characterize the disease. If we calculate an average survival time, is this average representative of all patients? Furthermore, how useful is it for planning future health service needs? In addition to tables and graphs, Chapter 2 examines numerical summary measures that help answer questions such as these. The chapter includes an introduction to the mean and standard deviation; the former tells us where the measurements are centered, and the latter how dispersed they are. The chapter ends with the splendid empirical rule, which quantifies the metaphor “the apple does not fall far from the tree.”

One of the most striking findings of the study is that lack of employee motivation is the biggest impediment to strategy implementation (Table 4, mean 3.49, sd 1.16). Managers may address this issue by increasing employee participation in strategic processes. Chang and Platt (1987) claim that involving medical personnel in the strategic planning of healthcare organizations can bridge the gap between strategy formulation and implementation. Since medical personnel have the major role in implementing strategic decisions, their opinions are of considerable importance. Involving doctors and other healthcare professionals in strategic decisions may mitigate the barriers to implementation. In addition, human resources policies that increase organizational communication and coordination should be identified and executed. Necessary training should be provided to employees about strategic processes and how they can contribute.
General dentists staffing requirement based on workload in the public dental health centers in Turkey
Published in International Journal of Healthcare Management, 2022
Many countries are struggling with shortages and the imbalanced distribution of human resources within their healthcare system. Planning and management of healthcare professionals have become two of the top issues that should be considered by healthcare managers and decision-makers to improve access to health services. The WISN method used in this study highlighted the importance of identifying the activities truly affecting dentists’ workload in oral and dental health services. Also, as indicated in Daviaud’s research [48], the use of a method, like WISN, may help improve the distribution of staff numbers among services, permit identifying the places with lack of professionals, and support planning, training, and allocation of human resources at local, regional, and national levels. In terms of efficiency, the WISN can be considered a tool paving the way to equate human resource distribution, which may both enable dentists to work more efficiently and services to be provided timely and with high quality. Thus, the results may contribute to improve evidence-based human resources planning in oral and dental health services.
The effect of healthcare management and physicians’ loyalty

Healthcare planning necessitates the activities of the hospitals’ administrators or senior managers in giving direction and determining what should be attained [35,36]. Hence, healthcare planning is important, it should be made at the outset [37], and it entails efficient and uninterrupted health administrations and services [38,39]. A well-functioning healthcare service system necessitates a well-trained and sufficiently paid workforce, well-maintained health facilities for carrying healthcare services as soon as they are desirable [40]. Some past studies reported that satisfaction and attachment of physicians depend on a comprehensive work plan, training facilities, appropriate work environment and reduced mal-administration [32,41]. In essence, hospitals’ administrators or senior managers are experts who are well-trained and skilled professionals and are genuinely concerned about the physicians and the quality of health services provided to the patients [42–44]. H1: Healthcare planning has a positive and significant impact on physician’s satisfaction.
