    Comprehensive Venous Thromboembolism Prevention Programme Incorporating Mandatory Electronic Risk Assessment Reduces the Incidence of Hospital-Associated Thrombosis: A Single Centre Experience (2012)
    American Society of Hematology

    Publication Date: 2012-11-16
    Description: Abstract 363 The national Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prevention Programme in England incorporates standardised guidance on risk assessment (RA) and thromboprophylaxis (TP) with a requirement for root cause analysis of all episodes of hospital associated thrombosis (HAT), defined as any VTE occurring whilst an inpatient or within 90 days of discharge. We previously reported findings of root cause analysis for HAT from 2010. We present updated findings from combined census of VTE RA and the root cause analysis programme at King's College Hospital, London over a 24 month period. A principal change in VTE RA process was the phased introduction of prompted electronic RA in 2011. Census data collection of RA identified a significantly higher median monthly RA rate in 2011 of 93.9% (IQR 92.3 – 94.5) compared to 85.8% (IQR 72.0–90.4; P=0.001) in 2010. The root cause analysis programme for HAT identified 192 episodes in 2011 compared to 236 events in 2010. The median number of events per month was significantly lower at 1.2 per 1000 admissions (IQR 0.8 to 1.4) in 2011 compared to 1.5 per 1000 admissions (IQR 1.3 – 1.8; P=0.023) in 2010. There was no significant difference in type of admission preceding HAT between 2010 and 2011 (medical 55.5% vs 47.4%, surgical 42.4% vs 49.5% and obstetric 2.1% vs 3.1% respectively). The proportion of HAT presenting as PE was lower in 2011 (36.7%) compared to 2010 (46.7%, P=0.07). The proportion of fatal PE was non-significantly lower in 2011 at 6.2% (n=12) compared to 2010 (7.3%, n=17). There was no significant difference in 90 day mortality between 2010 and 2011 (21.2% vs 19.3%). Root cause analysis was completed for 65.3% and 89.0% of HATs in 2010 and 2011 respectively. Of investigated episodes, RA was completed for 85.4% in 2011 compared to 43.9% (P

    Work, work ethic, work excess (2004)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Journal of organizational change management 17 (2004), S. 424-439 
    Details
    ISSN: 0953-4814
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Organizational change initiatives are successful only through the efforts of the people, so it is important to look beyond surface reactions and understand the deeper implications of employees' visible work habits. By integrating work from several disciplines, this paper poses a series of questions aimed at creating better awareness of differences in how and why people work. Historic tracking of beliefs about work in the USA is provided as an example of how a positive foundation of strong work ethic can become the dysfunctional extreme of workaholism.

    Creating intellectual capital: a Habermasian community of practice (CoP) introduction (2003)

    Notes: John Seely Brown notes that context must be added to data and information to produce meaning. To move forward, Brown suggests, we must not merely look ahead but we must also learn to "look around" because learning occurs when members of a community of practice (CoP) socially construct and share their understanding of some text, issue or event. We draw explicitly here on the structural components of a Habermasian lifeworld in order to identify some dynamic processes through which a specific intellectual capital creating context, CoP, may be theoretically positioned. Rejecting the individualistic "Cogito, ergo sum" of the Cartesians, we move in line with Brown's "we participate, therefore we are" to arrive within a Habermasian community of practice: we communicate, ergo, we create.

    A "career" work ethic versus just a job (2005)

    Notes: Purpose - To provide current information on managers' expectations of their employees, toward structuring future research on amount of time and energy devoted to work. Design/methodology/approach - Qualitative data, acquired through focus groups and interviews, provide a sample of the perceptions of 57 managers in the mid-Atlantic region of the USA regarding employees' work ethic. Findings - The results are presented as descriptive information of interest in formulating future research. The traditional work ethic (hard work, responsibility, diligence) still dominates managers' expectations, and they believe many employees have lost the willingness to work now for later returns (that was a key component of the early Protestant work ethic in the USA). Many of the concerns these managers expressed parallel predictions by writers in social and economic history - for example, influence of early social development, emphasis on everything "instant", and the pressure through technology to work anywhere/anytime. Some implications for practice are discussed. Originality/value - This study is unique in that it asks the managers directly about their individual expectations. Literature reflects both individual and organizational pressures for hard work, but the organizational side is assessed through examining unfortunate outcomes of policies and practices. The personal comments of the managers provide an important dimension to considering demands of the workplace.

    A critique of service learning projects in management education: Pedagogical foundations, barriers, and guidelines (1996)
    Springer
    Journal of business ethics 15 (1996), S. 133-142

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000

    Notes: Abstract This critique of nine service learning projects within schools of business is designed to encourage other educational institutions to add service learning requirements into business ethics and leadership courses. It champions the role of the faculty member teaching these courses while at the same time offering constructive analysis on pedagogy, a review of curriculum issues, identification of barriers to service learning, and guidelines for teaching service learning ventures. Challenges to all faculty involved in business ethics courses are made to better manage their courses and careers from a broader context outside of university settings.

    Will the Collapse of the American Dream Lead to a Decline in Ethical Business Behavior (1998)
    Springer
    Journal of business ethics 17 (1998), S. 1669-1678

    Notes: Abstract This study compares employee attitudes to their reports of whether they consider their socio-economic status to be higher, the same, or lower than that of their parents. The premise of the research was based on the apparent deterioration of the expectation that each generation will live in greater economic comfort than their parents, referred to as a vital component of the American dream. Where this pattern of socio-economic progress has been interrupted, it may relate to certain attitudes. These attitudes, in turn, are likely to influence behavior. Here the focus is on whether employees' survey responses indicate they are honest, trustworthy, and tolerant. Differences in these characteristics that relate to self-reported socio- economic progress, may serve to explain the occurrence of certain behaviors among people who otherwise seem highly ethical. This information may also help create organizational awareness of the potential for unethical behavior, when employees have been blocked from their own expectations for betterment.
