	The Data-Driven Nursing Residency Facing wave after wave of new-graduate nurses, many hospitals have instituted training or residency programs to improve the competence and confidence of their nursing staff, lower their costs and increase the quality of care patients receive. However, it is important to ask two key questions. First, are these residency investments paying off? And second, how can a hospital measure the effectiveness of its training programs with meaningful data?
	Managing New Program Development As leaders within organizations, we are routinely faced with proposals from physicians and vendors to plan new programs for the institution. Some of these programs are fairly simple, while others have far reaching market impact and planning needs.
	Managing Leadership: A Challenging Necessity in Today’s Environment The days of simply managing a unit or staff are over. Units that continue to follow this organizational style may find challenges in retaining staff or keeping them engaged and appropriately developed. A nursing unit full of professional staff needs sound leadership.
	Managing the Professional Growth of Your Staff Promoting the professional development of staff is an ongoing process. A manager must understand and believe in the value of continuing education. Each staff member will have unique learning needs and goals. Your job, as a manager, is to facilitate their accomplishments.
	Team-Style Nursing: The Strengths and the Challenges Nursing has changed dramatically over the last 30 years. Nurses who have lived through these changes can testify to one fact: change is the only variable that has been constant. Technology has grown within surgical circles at a much higher rate than that of some other nursing specialties. All areas of nursing have felt the improvement in information systems and documentation.
	Risk Management and Working Together Risk management in healthcare involves minimizing medical risks for patients, liability risks for staff and the institution, and financial risks for the facility and its various business units. Each of these risks has multiple approaches and in order to be most successful, patients as well as clinical and non-clinical personnel must work together.
	Managing Success: IT Implementations Whether you are converting from paper to an electronic medical record (EMR) system, implementing new modules, integrating with other systems or installing an upgrade, there are several factors that are key to a successful project. Educating your executive team on these factors is an absolute for the success of your project. Their buy-in is critical; successful projects require dedicated resources and the support of the executive team will go a long way toward assuring required ingredients are present as your project progresses.
	Finding the Right Candidate In today’s competitive recruiting environment, healthcare institutions are constantly faced with finding better ways to screen candidates for open positions. Managers and human resource departments in all hospitals are challenged with finding strong tools for screening applicants. Some other industries have had great success with this practice.
