States allow employee access to personnel files. Employee privacy statutes have been enacted in five states. These laws provide that employees have the right to see any data in their personnel records concerning hiring, promotions, transfers, bonuses, or disciplinary action. Because such laws could be the wave of the future, employers should be sure their information is accurate and up to date.

The Court Report and acute illness in children in a northern town. The classification of the medical and social characteristics of a random sample of 360 children requiring admission to a paediatric unit in a Northern town revealed a marked social class gradient, rising from social class I to social class V, when compared with the social class distribution of children in the hospital catchment area wards. This was most evident in children suffering from respiratory diseases. Infants were particularly susceptible to respiratory diseases when compared with the age distribution of children in the selected wards. Two electoral wards had a higher than expected number of ill children. One the crisis of a sick child developed, the families of these children were disadvantaged in their access to medical care by their lack of private transport and private telephones. The reported delay experienced by these families from approach to, and contact with, GPs was particularly acute in the mornings and it must be concluded that some children may be at risk at this time of day. Out-of-hours calls were promptly attended by both GPs and deputising service doctors.

Multihospital systems: promises and problems. More and more hospitals are finding benefits in closer relationships with other hospitals. But disadvantages, problems, and conflicts need to be overcome also. The author gives a brief summation of the pros and cons of such arrangements, as well as information on the AHA's Center for Multihospital Systems and Shared Services Organizations.


Multihospital systems: implications for physicians. This overview of the movement toward multihospital systems and shared services arrangements and its implications for physicians includes a description of the major types of arrangements formed so far, an assessment of their performance, a summary of responses to the new systems, a discussion of their advantages and disadvantages, and a brief outlook on the future of such systems.


Medical staff bylaws in a multihospital system. Not all multihospital arrangements demand a close association between the medical staffs of the individual hospitals involved. However, in those situations where the medical staffs will be more closely linked, the bylaws and rules and regulations of the cooperating medical staffs should be reviewed and integrated, if appropriate, before the changeover. This presents the medical staffs with the task--and opportunity--of initiating and controlling these changes.


A rural hospital/physician health care cooperative. In an experiment to establish the viability of rural health care delivery, 13 rural community hospitals and their medical staffs formed a cooperative with an urban university based hospital. The consortium offers rural physicians on-site specialty consultation, continuing education programs, joint medical audits, and uniform hospital and staff policies and procedures. This cooperative effort allows most patients to be treated in their own community and helps to break down the isolation of rural practice for the physician.


Continuing education network builds on physician acceptance. In 1975, the Department of Internal Medicine at Yale and nine community hospitals in southwestern Connecticut began a continuing medical education program, the Yale Affiliated Hospital Program (YAHP). Physicians from Yale and the community hospitals were involved in the planning and organization of the YAHP from the beginning, since the authors believe that physician acceptance is necessary for the success of a program between a university medical center and community hospitals. The attention to physician acceptance has fostered a cooperative spirit and trust among members of the group so that issues in addition to education, such as house staff and faculty recruitment, program content, and regional planning, can be dealt with.


A systemwide quality assurance/risk management program. Physician involvement throughout this systemwide quality assurance and risk management program is a key element in the program's success. Physicians report through their own medical staff organization to a centralized quality assurance committee that interfaces between the board of directors and the medical staff of each hospital. The program is bolstered by complete support from the board and administration.

Tort liability considerations for allied health training institutions. This paper presents an analysis of legal trends affecting institutions which train allied health professionals, including risks faced and actions necessary to minimize liabilities. It discusses those factors which determine liabilities that may be applicable to health professions educational institutions; trends emerging as legal doctrines from courts rendering malpractice decisions; and actions for preventing, minimizing, counteracting or neutralizing the likelihood of legal liabilities attaching to such institutions.


Status of clinical affiliation agreements: report on a national study. During spring 1977, a survey of all accredited college based educational programs in 11 allied health disciplines was conducted to assess the nature and content of affiliation agreements, attitudes toward affiliation agreements and the extent to which clinical facilities are being reimbursed by academic institutions for providing clinical instruction. This paper summarizes the data across the 11 disciplines. In contrast to prior research, the formal contract emerges as the most frequently used form of agreement. Specific rights and responsibilities of academic and clinical educators, including personal and professional liability insurance, are delineated. Student rights and responsibilities receive less attention. Eight percent of respondents are charged an overall fee for use of clinical facilities; an additional 32% feel that payment may be required in the future. Recommendations include provision for increased attention to student rights and responsibilities and for legal counsel in developing affiliation agreements.


Training minorities for health careers: a five-year follow-up study. This study investigates the economic status of 69 residents of Newark, New Jersey, who completed health career programs at the College of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in June 1973. The subjects were black females from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds ranging in age from 20 to 37 years. Approximately 28% of the 85 subjects who started the program had dropped out of high school by the 11th grade: three had completed the ninth grade and 54 were high school graduates. None had received postsecondary education. Candidates were recruited from the city welfare roster and referred to a selection committee consisting of Newark officials, community residents and representatives from the New Jersey Medical School. Accepted candidates were given first, second and third choices for career selection. Prior to training, 44 subjects were unemployed or receiving public assistance. Only six graduates now receive public assistance.


A recommended management information system for mental health treatment programs. On the basis of information obtained during a study of former mental patients under a research grant from the state of Florida, the authors point out the critical need for more comprehensive management information systems. Twelve specific steps for designing and implementing such a system are outlined.


Competency based education: general concepts. Competency based education is a system of education which focuses on the performances to be exhibited by the graduates of the educational program. This paper presents an overview of the steps in the development of a competency based curriculum and gives examples which apply the concepts to a physical therapy educational program.


Managing the change process.

Managing the change process. Change is a normal and expected phenomenon in the 20th century, but how well are health professions educators prepared to deal with necessary educational change? This article presents a conceptual model for the change process, which provides a framework for adopting an innovation. Although a systems model is used, the human factors associated with change are emphasized. The model provides a basis for action, but the limitations of a static, inflexible viewpoint are discussed. The manager of the change process must be sensitive and responsive to human factors. To be successful, the manager must capitalize on his/her intuitive and creative capabilities. The phenomenon of change may be disruptive to an educational organization. The manager of change may not be in a comfortable position, but the manager who perseveres will see innovations adopted, experience personal growth and contribute to the professional development of others.

Strategic intervention: a mental health program for the Hispanic community. Over the past three years the Worcester Youth Guidance Center has developed a series of mental health programs directed to the Hispanic community of Worcester, Massachusetts. The model for these programs has been that of strategic intervention. This approach was based upon knowledge gained from the literature and extensive exploratory contacts with key Hispanic leaders. The Center's Hispanic Program consists of five components: (1) community education and training. (2) clinical consultation, (3) program consultation, (4) research, and (5) clinical intervention and case management. This article describes these components in detail and presents a rationale for strategic intervention.


CHMC directors' preferences for training of bachelor's level psychologists. A questionnaire devised to measure preferences for training of bachelor's level psychologists was mailed to 302 community mental health center (CHMC) directors in the southeastern United States; 117 or 39% completed and returned questionnaires. Based on the preferences of CMHC directors, bachelor's level candidates for employment in CMHCs should manifest the following: (1) a good foundation in generic "core" psychology theory; (2) training in fundamental intervention skills in the area of group, family, and individual counseling/psychotherapy and consultation; plus crisis intervention and intake interviewing; (3) specialized training/experiences in working with such high priority groups as disadvantaged blacks, the physically disabled, and alcohol/drug abusers; (4) knowledge of community resources and skill in publicizing/public relations; and (5) personal characteristics that include personal warmth, a neat personal appearance, and good oral and written communication skills.


Are dropouts, dropouts?

Are dropouts, dropouts? In this study, the perceptions of unilateral terminators, "dropouts," of their visit to a community mental health center were examined. A telephone survey was conducted to assess client satisfaction, impressions of the setting and therapist, helpfulness of the visit, expectations of and reported services received, and source and degree of problem(s) solution. Forty-seven respondents participated in the survey. Seventy percent were satisfied with the service they received. Satisfaction was related to favorable perceptions of the setting, the therapist, helpfulness of the visit, and whether improvement was due to contact with the center. Almost 80% of the respondents reported their problems had improved. Expectations of services to be rendered were generally met. Meeting of expectations was related to client satisfaction and perceived helpfulness but not to problem solution. Center impact was related to client satisfaction, mode of entry, meeting of clients' expectations, and number of services received. The study suggests that unilateral client termination is not a failure of the client or the intervention system. Clients can benefit from one session, use alternative sources of assistance, or be affected by environmental changes.


Who is called mentally ill: public and professional views. This study was designed to identify factors that influence the decision to call someone mentally ill, and to determine some attitudinal correlates of such labelling. Members of the general public and mental health professionals were queried on their views about etiologies of mental illness, circumstances in which they would call someone mentally ill, and opinions about restricting occupational choices of the formerly hospitalized. Results showed considerable agreement between lay respondents and mental health professionals. The label of mental illness was applied by both groups with considerably greater restraint than was anticipated on the basis of prior research. Across issues, two patterns of response emerged; some respondents believe that mental illness is a real entity, apply the label to a wide range of behavior, regard hospitalization as the best course of action and restrict the occupational choices of the formerly hospitalized. At the other extreme is a subset of respondents who regard hospitalization as objectionable in principle, who narrowly define mental illness and who are unlikely to restrict the career choices of the formerly hospitalized. These findings are related to previous work in the field.


Telephone change agentry in the diffusion of a program for the elderly. This study examined whether telephone consultation subsequent to a five-day workshop on a geriatric program, called milieu therapy, affected the degree to which the adoption of the program took place in nursing homes and hospitals. The nursing homes and hospitals were randomly assigned to three conditions: 1) no person receiving telephone consultation, 2) one person receiving consultation, and 3) three persons receiving consultation. Following the workshop, five consultations were conducted, one every two weeks. Three months after the last consultation a follow-up questionnaire was used to examine the extent of the program adoption. Results of the study indicated that telephone consultation did not create more information dissemination. However, the consultation with three persons 1) enhanced the inclusion of more staff in the planning groups, 2) supported low social status staff in taking leadership roles, and 3) included more staff from various work areas into the planning group. No significant difference could be found for the degree of actual program adoption that took place within the organizations.

Issues with the provision of care to the terminally ill patient in nursing homes. The need for new special care programs to care for nursing home patients who are dying and know it is discussed. Four different types of dying patients are identified according to their special needs. The hospice concept is described and conclusions are made about its application to the nursing home. In particular, it is concluded that: (1) nursing home administration need to form joint efforts with hospitals and home health services in deciding how to meet needs of dying patients; (2) a team concept is a good way to provide hospice care; and (3) current staff of nursing homes need to be educated in managing the patient who is dying and knows it.

A step towards self dependence: training village dhais. In order to promote health care self dependency among rural inhabitants in India, Saint Johns Medical College Hospital is conducting a training program in delivery procedures for TBAs (traditional birth attendants) recruited from rural villages.  The program, instituted in 1978, provides the TBAs with in-service training at the hospital and subsequently with supervised in-service training in rural villages located near the hospital.  Training lasts from 1-3 months depending on the needs of individual TBAs.  There is a severe shortage of maternal and child health care facilities in the rural areas, and there is little likelihood that these deficiencies will be corrected in the near future.  TBAs, if properly trained, can fulfill some of these unmet health needs.  Furthermore, village women usually prefer to be delivered by the local midwife rather than by trained midwives from outside the community.  The local midwife performs the delivery at home and customarily assumes some of the new mother's household tasks.  Family members normally know the midwife and feel comfortable having her in their home.

Organizational equity perceptions, employee job satisfaction, and departmental absence and turnover rates. Employee job satisfaction and perceptions of equitable treatment have been the topics of a great amount of behavioral research. Several theorists have suggested that one or the other may be related to organizational behaviors of employees such as absence and/or turnover. This longitudinal study examines the association of the two constructs, and, in a field setting, compares them as separate variables relating to absence and turnover. Employee perceptions of equitable treatment were found to be stronger predictors of absence and turnover than were job satisfaction variables.

Change: the cornerstone of leadership.

Change: the cornerstone of leadership. What is leadership? Who are the leaders? When and where do they lead? In answering these questions, the author explores human behavior. He explains why one person becomes a leader while another does not; why one leader is effective while another is less so. The author remarks at the start that he found it a challenge to write about something most persons intuitively understand. He thought that perhaps many might regard a discussion of leadership as unrevealing, for the subject is thought to speak for itself. Interesting, however, is that his many perceptions and observations on what is believed to be an everyday issue are far from common and everyday.

Physician stereotypes about female health and illness: a study of patient's sex and the informative process during medical interviews. Three hundred and thirty-six tape recorded interactions between a stratified random sample of physicians and a sample of their patients are analyzed in order to compare male and female information-seeking behavior in the medical interview and to contrast the response of doctors to male and female requests for information. Some of the underlying attitudes on the part of the physicians that may affect the information-exchange process are discussed.


Female's natural advantage? Or, the unhealthy environment of males? The status of sex mortality differentials. Females live almost eight years longer than males, a difference which has increased during the 20th Century. Whether considered by age group or disease category, the mortality of males exceeds that of females. Environmental and behavioral factors, all potentially correctable, explain this differential more satisfactorily than genetic factors. It is nurture more than nature which must be understood if the sex mortality differential is to be decreased.

Because the current price increases are led by the necessities--food, energy, medical care, housing and interest rates--inflation was having a particularly devastating impact on lower income families whose incomes go almost exclusively for those necessities.

Community placements.

Community placements. A pilot study at Queen's University on the use of community facilities for undergraduate clinical training is described. The objectives of this project were to provide broadening experiences for students outside the institutional model, and to increase the number of available placements. From both the faculty and student points of view, the project is considered a success and is being expanded. The authors suggest that the future therapist must be prepared for community practice and recommend the inclusion of similar experiences in all undergraduate occupational therapy programmes.

Mothers in occupational therapy. The author explores the current trend of therapists returning to work after entering motherhood. The factors both positive and negative of utilizing "Mother O.T.'s" in an Occupational Therapy Department are delineated with an emphasis on those particular contributions encountered when such an O.T. is employed. Her conclusion is a resounding endorsement for employing "Mother O.T.'s" because of their added maturity, stability and responsibility. Suggestions such as "Be flexible with vacant positions restructuring the job if necessary to accomodate part-time therapists", are offered in order to encourage such O.T.'s to return to their profession thus alleviating our manpower shortage.

Factors influencing the education of occupational therapists in Ontario. This paper examines some of the factors which were involved in the December 1974, decision, of the Ontario's Minister of Colleges and Universities to Mohawk College of Applied Arts and Technology to establish an experimental program in occupational therapy. This program is being launched without the endorsement of the provincial and national association of occupational therapy which wish to maintain a baccalaureate level of education for occupational therapists in a university settings. Some questions which are explored in the examination of this case are: What is a College of Applied Arts and Technology? How is it different from a University? What is a profession? What is a paraprofession? Is occupational therapy a profession or a paraprofession? Why did Mohawk College propose an occupational therapy program? What factors contributed to the occupational therapists' inability to stop the proposal? What was the process of approval of the proposal? How important are status and prestige as factors in these issues? The following discussion will attempt to deal with these questions as they relate to the educational arrangements for occupational therapists in Ontario.

The availability of education on death and dying: a survey of U.S. nursing schools. A stratified random sample of 226 U.S. nursing schools was surveyed to determine the extent and nature of current death education training for nursing students. Of the 205 responding schools, 5 percent reported offering a required death and dying course, while an additional 39.5 percent indicated that a death and dying course was available for their students on an elective basis. The authors challenge the current pedagogical approach toward death education in U.S. nursing schools. They propose the need for the development of a model that would formally link a death education course, or courses, with the clinical phase of training. It is hypothesized that such an approach would enhance the nursing students' recognition and management of their feelings regarding death and dying and therefore result in more effective means of relating to terminally ill patients.


Death education--where is thy sting?

Death education--where is thy sting? We are not free to choose whether anyone will learn about death, though we have some choice about how they will learn. The author discusses the basic questions that need to be answered in planning death education at any level, and the possible goals, in terms of cognitive gain, skills, and attitudinal objectives. Some principles in regard to teaching methods and evaluation are described, with illustrations from the experiences of medical students and others. It is important that the teacher should be able to deal with the problems that such programs may arouse. Cheap emotional arousal is easy to produce, but trivial, unless creatively used for a valued purpose and adequately resolved. Death is infinitely exploitable, and the growth of death voyeurism via "education" is alarming. The capacity to recognize and avoid being exploited or exploiting others must be one of our principle educational objectives.

Although the social work profession has expressed a commitment to equal opportunity in employment for women, this study notes that inequities in salary and status still exist between male and female social workers. A major cause of these differences appears to be the process of promotion within public agencies, which introduces inequities early in the careers of social workers.

Nurse-midwifery gains popular acceptance, offers nurses a challenging new role. At the Kings County Hospital in New York a nurse-midwife program is in effect to provide obstetrical care at lowered costs.  Women who are in good physical health and not considered high risk patients are accepted into the clinic for care.  In addition, a separate teenage clinic for girls under 16 years old deals specifically with prenatal care, nutritional needs for the mother, and proper baby care and feeding as well as breathing exercises for delivery.  Family planning and birth control are also important aspects at the clinic, especially in the teenage clinic.  The nurse-midwife may order anesthetics, perform episiotomies, and examine the newborns as well as perform nursing duties.  A physician is called in the event of a medical problem or complication.  The nurse-midwife relieves overworked doctors, lowers maternity costs, and allows families to fully participate in the birth process.

The greening of the Meadows.

The greening of the Meadows. When bulldozers flatten old-established terraces and people are forced to move miles across a city, community spirit all too often gets demolished in the process. But in a South Nottingham clearance area the neighbourhood ties have survived the upheaval and have led to the placing of not just a token social worker in a health centre, but an entire social work team.

Are unions an anachronism?

Are unions an anachronism? The labor movement in the United States has its roots deep in the soil of worker discontent over grueling working conditions, low pay, and indifference of bosses, who profited from others' sweaty labor. As more and more grubby jobs are replaced by technological innovations, as work becomes more abstract and everyone wears a white shirt, and as managers schooled in motivation theory and humane ideals of participation replace the owner-bosses of yesterday, what role will the unions have left to play? The author of this article, who has been in both the labor force and management, explores what the changes in the labor market will be in the future and what these changes will mean for labor-management relations. He does not conclude that there is no role for unions-only that it will be very different and that to survive unions will have to tackle new issues in the workplace. That adaptation will affect management's stance as well.

The board's most important function.

The board's most important function. We continue in this issue the discussion of the proper role of outside directors in determining the strategy of a company and in evaluating capital investments in its future. The comments on Sam Felton's case in HBR's July-August issue are logically followed now by William Wommack's recommendation that a corporate objectives or strategy committee should become the usual structural means for reviewing management's recommendation for investments. The author argues that management must organize well to relate to such a committee and that someone should be clearly designated the chief strategic officer (if not the CEO, then not the chief operating officer). He outlines the processes leading to management-board involvement in funding strategies (not projects) and in determining direction.

The subordinate's predicaments.

The subordinate's predicaments. How can subordinates improve relations with their superiors? And how can superiors help their subordinates feel comfortable in what is often a tense relationship? These questions have usually been dealt with only indirectly in management circles. Yet the relationship is so threatening to many subordinates that they react in ways that are damaging to themselves and their ogranizations. Drawing heavily on the work of psychologist Erik Erikson, the authors present dilemmas that commonly confront the subordinate. They point out that being aware of these dilemmas can make them more manageable and then offer advice to superiors to aid subordinates in handling such situations.

Private time and public time: the temporal structure of social accessibility and professional commitments. This paper highlights the temporal aspects of social accessibility, demonstrating that time is a major dimension of social organization along which both privacy and professional commitments are defined in modern society. An analysis of the temporal structure of professional commitments within the domain of health care, leads to the claim that the temporally rigid way in which most professional commitments are defined today is one of the key characteristics of modern social organization. A general conceptual scheme, constructed around the temporal structure of social accessibility, is evaluated in terms of its use in helping us identify and differentiate various occupational roles as well as various status rankings within stratification systems. The symbolic significance of the temporal organization of social accessibility is stressed-both in general, and for professional commitments in particular.
