Health Care Financial Management for Nurse Managers $74.95

Health Care Financial Management for Nurse Managers
2005
By Janne Dunham-Taylor, RN, PhD and Joseph Z. Pinczuk, MHA, Retired CFO
In practice, every management decision has financial implications, and every financial decision has management implications. Bottom-line thinking, if made top priority, loses money. The best financial outcome is achieved when "listening to the patient" is first priority followed by "giving service(s) the patient values". This is achieved through effective leadership and organizational processes, all discussed in this book. Chapters are devoted to staffing, budgeting, identifying and analyzing variance, measuring productivity, costing, accounting, strategic planning and other effective financial strategies. Financial Management for Nurse Managers, written by a nurse administrator and a chief financial officer, prepares nurse managers for successful interfacing between the financial departments and nursing administration, and advocates for decisions based upon both perspectives.

Holistic Nursing $64.00

Holistic Nursing, An Issue of Nursing Clinics

By Noreen Frisch, Phd, RN, FAAN, APHN
2007

Holistic nursing embraces all nursing which has as its goal the enhancement of healing the whole person from birth to death. It recognizes that there are two views regarding holism:

that holism involves identifying the interrelationships of the bio-psycho-social-spiritual dimensions of the person, recognizing that the whole is greater than the sums of its parts; and
that holism involves understanding the individual as a unitary whole in mutual process with the environment. Holistic nursing responds to both views, believing that the goals of nursing can be achieved within either framework.
