Intergenerational Hypocrisy
Organizations often endure across multiple generations of members—and what one generation preaches may not always align with what another generation practices. We demonstrate that people attribute such inconsistency to hypocrisy, even when over half a century separates the practicing and preaching. Five experiments and three supplemental studies demonstrate this intergenerational hypocrisy effect ( N = 4,482). Organizations were perceived as more…
Big Is Bad
Individuals tend to hold a dim view of for-profit corporations, believing that profit-seeking comes at the expense of ethicality. In the present research, we show that this belief is not universal; rather, people associate ethicality with an organization’s size. Across nine experiments ( N = 4,796), people stereotyped large companies as less ethical than small companies. This size-ethicality stereotype emerged spontaneously (Study 1), implicitly …
The Diagnostic Accuracy and Clinimetric Properties of Screening Instruments to Identify Frail Older Adults Attending Emergency Departments
Understanding whether frailty screening on presentation to EDs is accurate in identifying frailty, and predicting these outcomes is important for decision-making and targeting appropriate management
Frailty Screening in the Emergency Department
Prompt recognition of frailty in the emergency department (ED) is important to identify patients at higher risk of adverse outcomes. Despite this, few studies examine the diagnostic accuracy of screening instruments for frailty, instead focusing on predictive validity. We compared three commonly used, short frailty screens to an independent comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in an urban University Hospital ED. Consecutive attendees aged ≥70…
Moral cleansing as hypocrisy
What counts as hypocrisy? Current theorizing emphasizes that people see hypocrisy when an individual sends them "false signals" about his or her morality (Jordan, Sommers, Bloom, & Rand, 2017); indeed, the canonical hypocrite acts more virtuously in public than in private. An alternative theory posits that people see hypocrisy when an individual enjoys "undeserved moral benefits," such as feeling more virtuous than his or her behavior merits, eve…
Authenticity
The concept of authenticity informs a number of central topics in management studies. On the surface, it might seem that a consensus exists about its meaning; there is indeed widespread agreement that authenticity refers to that which is “real” or “genuine” or “true.” Below the surface, however, there is much less agreement; scholars use the same lexical term but often approach the concept from different perspectives and apply different meanings.…
Introducing a discharge planning and resource folder on acute hospital wards
Introduction: Hospital discharge especially for those patients with complex needs requires good coordination between hospital and community services. Communication with patients, families and community healthcare teams is vital on discharge. Failure to enlist appropriate community services on discharge home may leave patients vulnerable to adverse outcomes and readmission.Our hospital actively manages discharge procedures through our hospital pla…
Community teams, specialist fall services and emergency department implementing an integrated regional falls risk assessment and prevention pathway
Introduction: In 2008, the national strategy for the prevention of falls and fractures in Ireland was published. In 2009, a detailed mapping exercise in our region demonstrated the size of our problem showing 4,680 emergency department attendances locally for falls annually, 21,500 acute bed-days used after falls and falls-related local health cost of €31 million. We had elements of good practice but services for falls management were neither coo…
A daily multidisciplinary hospital discharge support meeting in an acute hospital
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
Implementing new ways of working to reduce the risk of falls among older people
Introduction: Numerous interventions have been shown to effectively reduce the rate and risk of falling among older people. In Ireland, our national falls strategy recommends the use of evidence-based interventions that are equitable and sustainable. However, there are practical, cultural, and professional challenges to implementing service changes that require input from multiple professionals across settings. Our aim is to investigate the accep…
Using an integrated model of care between an acute hospital and primary care in a transitional care unit to support patient flow and discharge home
Introduction: Hospitals have increasing numbers of emergency department attendances each year. We need to treat these patients more quickly and avoid emergency over-crowding thus allowing patients to flow freely through the acute hospital. Hospitals require timely and efficient discharge processes to achieve adequate patient flow. In a previous quality improvement project to reduce readmissions, we had highlighted the importance of supporting pat…
When principled deviance becomes moral threat
Monin, Sawyer, and Marquez (2008) demonstrated that a rebel who refused to participate in a racially prejudiced decision task was derogated by actors who had themselves taken part in the task, but exalted by uninvolved observers. These authors argued that this rejection resulted from actors who expected and resented imagined moral reproach from the rebel. Two new studies address alternative explanations for such rejection of moral rebels. Study 1…
