Renaissance of case research as a scientific method
Since the seminal article by Eisenhardt (1989) , scholarly interest in case research has mushroomed in operations management and organization sciences. Volumes of methodological texts are matched with a massive amount of empirical research that seeks to apply and further develop case research as a scientific method. What is missing from this literature is a treatment of the methodological diversity of case research. In this paper, we seek to unve…
Barriers and motivators to prenatal care among low-income women
Effects on Nurse Retention
Four randomly selected nursing groups were assigned to three experimental groups and one control group to test the relative impact of three experimental nursing schedules, using a before-after design. The three experimental treatments were straight shifts; regular schedule but with unlimited requests for changes; and individual station-designed schedules. Before treatment, score differences between the experimental and control groups were limited…
Impact of Environment on State University Hospital Performance
This article, by means of a path model, shows the impact of environment on state university hospital performance. The state environment is shown to affect systematically the intensity of local competition, the reputation of the medical school, the financial independence of the parent university, the allocation of indigent care dollars, the nature of governance and management, and the performance of the hospital. Results show that while certain en…
Feasibility of Simulating Physicians?? Judgments of Patient Severity
This article reports on adopting Gustafson's multiattribute utility method to develop a specific momentary severity index (vis-à-vis severity over time) for nontraumatic chest pain patients. A panel of physicians identified an appropriate set of indicators for the index. Three mathematic models were generated on the basis of these indicators with each model predicting no less than 81% of the variance in overall scores of 96 simulated patients wit…
Indicators of Need for Health Care Personnel
Persons making decisions about health care personnel are confronted with an array of measurements that allegedly determine "need." This paper examines selected categories of indicators; one category' analyzes those which compare numbers of health personnel to number of persons; a second category analyzes health personnel need as indicated by economic factors; a third category examines personnel need as indicated by factors of geographic distance.…
