Title From triage to treatment: An exploration of patient flow systems in emergency departments Type
Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal ResearchArchive@Victoria
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Emergency nursing; Hospitals; Risk management; Patient safety
Abstract (down) To find an effective approach to managing or reducing waiting times for lower triage category patients processed through one particular metropolitan emergency department, an extensive search of the literature revealed several different patient flow processes. These approaches are discussed, in relation to suitability for the particular emergency department. The history of triage, including how and why it evolved, plus the realities of triage today are explored. Included are case examples of two patients on a journey through the department the way it is presently, and how it could be if particular approaches are introduced. Extending nursing practice by introducing nurse-initiated x-rays at triage and the introduction of a separate stream for minor category patients in a dedicated ambulatory care area is one approach that could improve waiting times for these patients. There would be the added advantage of improving triage compliance figures for category three patients. The additional costs involved in such a process could be offset by improved efficiency in terms of waiting times, improved triage compliance figures, happier patients and clinical staff, and an emptier waiting room.

Title A retrospective study of patients with cancer in their terminal year Type Journal Article
Year 1986 Publication New Zealand Medical Journal Abbreviated Journal
Volume 99 Issue 798 Pages 197-200
Keywords
Abstract (down) This was a retrospective study of 100 Auckland people suffering from cancer in their terminal year. It aimed firstly to report the development of limitations in daily living activities and of dependence on help, and secondly to develop a method of assessing the functions of both patients and those who cared for them in such a way that support services could be matched to needs. The observations showed problems of progressive disability and dependence, which varied with the age of the patient and the type of malignancy. They showed clearly the long lasting emotional problems of the careers after the patients' death

Title Nurse talk: Features of effective verbal communication used by expert district nurses Type
Year 2003 Publication Abbreviated Journal ResearchArchive@Victoria
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Communication; Nurse-patient relations; District nursing
Abstract (down) This thesis represents an appreciative enquiry to identify features of effective verbal communication between nurses and patients. Using a method developed by the Language in the Workplace Project (Stubbe 1998) two nurse participants recorded a small sample of their conversations with patients as they occurred naturally in clinical practice. These six conversations constitute the main body of raw data for the study. The data was analysed using a combination of discourse and ethnographic analysis. Experience in nursing, particularly insider knowledge of the context of district nursing, helped me to uncover the richness of meaning in the conversations. The subtle interconnections and nuances could easily have been missed by an outside observer. The study has shown that in their interactions with patients, expert nurses follow a pattern in terms of the structure and content of the conversations and it is possible to identify specific features of effective nurse-patient communication within these conversations. The most significant of these are the repertoire of linguistic skills available to nurses, the importance of small talk and the attention paid by nurses to building a working relationship with patients, in part, through conversation. The findings have implications for nursing education and professional development.
