  1. The System Of The Ward Structure In Accordance With The Needs Of The Hospital

  2. Head Nurse Head nurses can work in any variety of medical facilities such as hospitals, treatment centers or nursing homes. In general, they work in larger facilities where coordination of nursing teams is needed. Head nurses carry out the same functions as any other nurse, but they are in a managerial position and often are responsible for whole

sections of facilities as well as communication with upper management and doctors.

  a. Management Head nurses are in charge of teams of nurses or divisions of health care facilities.

  For example, a head nurse might be in charge of all nursing in the emergency room. Head nurses are responsible for the performance of their teams, meaning they have to monitor the nurses who work under them and ensure they are fulfilling all their job requirements. The head nurse must coordinate nursing care by allocating resources where they are needed, whether in the form of nurses, medication, doctors or equipment. Head nurses need to make sure all the patients for whom they are responsible have needs met and receive appropriate attention.

  b. Administrative

  Head nurses are in charge of organizing and carrying out a variety of administrative work. They have to organize, compile and store all the notes on patients taken by their nursing team. Often, they need to provide doctors with the relevant paperwork and information on the patients they are treating. Head nurses can also help refer patients’ files to billing and payment departments, or process payment information on their own. Computer proficiency is often needed, along with a vast understanding of medical terminology to apply proper shorthand or file papers correctly. Administrative work also includes keeping records on facility resources.

  c. Communication Head nurses need to keep in touch and relay information to a variety of parties.

  First, they issue reports to upper management of the facility. They also need to communicate and give specific instructions to specialty doctors when they are needed. Head nurses typically have a good deal of contact with outside parties. For example, they might need to make contact with other facilities if they don't are often in charge of ordering products from suppliers. Head nurses also spend

time communicating with patients and their families about treatment options.

  d. Hiring and Training

  Head nurses are usually also in charge of hiring, screening potential employees, looking over resumes, conducting interviews and making hiring decisions. After this, they are in charge of training the new hires. Head nurses can order or suggest continuing education or remedial training and classes for their staff when needed. Sometimes they give talks and teach classes within the facility or elsewhere. Head nurses are in charge of maintaining working relationships with their staffs, which includes scheduling, pay and conflict resolution where necessary.

Figure 1. Similarities between the scientific method, the nursing process and the management process, based on Gillies, 1989

  If we desire the bedside nurse to use the scientific method and demonstrate professional behaviour, should we not expect as much from the nurse manager? Nursing management can be defined as 'the process of working through nursing staff members to provide care, cure and comfort to patients'. The nurse manager's job is to plan, organise, direct and control financial, material and human resources, so as to provide the most effective care possible to groups of patients and their families. The nursing management process parallels the nursing process that it is intended to facilitate. The management process, like the nursing process, includes gathering data, identifying problems, making plans, implementing plans and evaluating results. Because nursing management is concerned with the efforts of many workers rather than one, each step in the management process is more complex than the comparable step in the nursing process. For instance, the data-gathering step of the management process consists of accumulating information not only about patients, but also about the nurses, the institution, the community, and any legal and financial constraints. The planning step not only consists of determining the care needs of different types of patients, it also includes the determination of the number and type of staff needed, and designing an organisational structure that will maximise staff effectiveness.

The process

  A process is a series of actions leading towards a goal. In the nursing process, the ends might be relief of symptoms, prevention of complications, augmentation of health knowledge and skills, or the facilitation of maximal independence. In the nursing management process, the goal is to deliver the most effective and efficient care for a group of patients.

requirements, based on Thomas 1986

All these steps lead to the formulation of information requirements and system design. In identifying information requirements, very often a distinction is made between data and information. Data are the building blocks of information, or information without meaning.

  The nursing assignment Identifying the management information requirements for the nursing assignment problem provides one example of a nursing management process.

  Most emphasis has been put in the characteristics and patterns of the assignment process are patients or tasks been assigned to a nurse? are patients assigned to just one nurse or to a team of nurses and health care workers? for which period in time, is the pattern assigned - is it just for one day or for the whole hospitalisation of the patient?

  Most of these question are dealt with in the professional nursing literature. A second aspect which gets less emphasis in the professional nursing literature, but much more in the nursing management literature, is the question of the numbers: how many patients or tasks one single nurse or a team can handle and does this ratio change if the problem/patient/task is very complex?
