This chapter looks ‘outside’ the Hospice at issues of the organization’s image. The authors talked to staff, volunteers, and members of the general public, as well as to a number of key stakeholders in the local healthcare community, in order to gauge their views on the host organization. The analysis examines the problems associated with the image of hospices and discusses attempts of staff and volunteers to ‘dispel the myths’ about the nature of hospice care work—a form of labour which potentially runs the risk of being characterized as ‘dirty work’. The chapter then examines how the Hospice is seen in the eyes of other healthcare professionals and discusses the choice of palliative medicine as a career for junior medics. Finally it discusses a degree of ‘confusion’ that staff and volunteers claim exists in the minds of GPs and consultants in specialist cancer hospitals about the role of hospices.

Background: Stroke care evolution has been remarkable since 2000, when the Brain Attack Coalition published their recommendations for Primary Stroke Centers. For the first time, hospitals had evidence-based standards to improve patient outcomes. Today, many states require emergency responders to take suspected stroke patients only to certified stroke centers. As a result, many hospitals have established the role of stroke coordinator to oversee the myriad facets of stroke care. Coordinators are overwhelmed with the opportunities - and responsibilities - to improve care processes. Method: In 2009, the stroke program manager at a Magnet academic medical center established a regional stroke coordinators’ group. Eight coordinators met and established milestones for success. Information has been shared and nurses have traded services, providing education for each other’s organization. The group of now 28 coordinators meets every other month. Results: Positive outcomes of membership in this dynamic group include a 65% increase in professional membership in American Association of Neuroscience Nurses. In addition, the coordinators report confidence and empowerment to impact change in their own organization that improved care and outcomes. Aggregate group data demonstrates improvement in the following measures: thrombolytic administration 44%; door-to-needle time 16%; & patient education 12%. Nine additional hospitals (from 6 to 17, a 183% increase) have attained Advanced Primary Stroke certification and the host organization achieved Comprehensive Stroke certification. Conclusion: Neuroscience nurses are influential leaders - not just within their own organization. These outcomes demonstrate the mutual benefit of stroke coordinator colleagues working together and sharing best practice strategies. Through multi-organizational collaboration, they have become empowered to establish programs and become experts within their organization, able to guide and improve the care provided by their own direct-care nurses.

Abstract Introduction Support group for burn survivors is immensely beneficial for reintegration and normalization of the burn recovery. The corona virus pandemic, however, limited in-person interactions significantly and decreased the travel capabilities. Our regional burn center serves an 8-state region, and as such, our every other month in-person support group consisted of survivors and family members from a large geographic area. Methods Support group volunteers and staff members recognized the need for continued support of survivors during the pandemic. Limitations of large, in-person meetings were implemented by our host organization to comply with pandemic safety guidelines. Evaluation of resources available led to development of a virtually supported meeting space. Email addresses were gathered to schedule. This allowed for interaction of survivors from an unlimited geographic area. Results Support group survivor volunteers and staff met to develop parameters, topics, IT support and logistics. Every other month support group was converted to a monthly gathering virtually due to easier access by survivors. Attendees completed a survey to evaluate and make recommendations for opportunities for improvement. The same number of survivors were present for in person and virtual meetings. Conclusions During this pandemic, limitations were placed that further isolate survivors. A virtually based support group has allowed for more frequent interactions between volunteers and new survivors. Various topics were discussed including survivor preparedness for public reintegration, worker’s compensation and care giver burnout. Speakers from multiple disciplines have been able to address issues requested by survivors. In this format, we have been able to continue the support of our survivors as they continue to recover. Social distancing has isolated many people during the pandemic; virtual support group has been paramount in continuing to connect our survivor family.

The local institution of mini purse seine is a rule in the mini purse seine group that regulates the cooperation between skipper and labor in catching fish in the waters of Buton strait. In 2010, the number of mini purse seine in Lagasa Village was 40 units and continued to decrease to 30 units in 2017, the number of mini purse seine 30 units. This happens because the skippers sell their fishing gear to the other party as they do not have labors that do fishing. This study aimed to assess the capacity and role of local mini purse seine institutions in fishing in Buton strait waters, Duruka district, Muna Regency. The method of analysis used in this study is descriptive qualitative analysis with the skippers and labors of mini purse seine as the main informant. The results showed that the institutional capacity affecting the sustainability of mini purse seine fishing equipment is the presence of labor. The lack of labor in mini purse seine is caused by low catches, autocratic and symbolic leadership style of the skipper, and violation of the rule of catch fish. The institutional group of mini purse seine has a role in forming cooperative groups in fishing, establishing fishing business units, and advising Lagga Village Government in solving fishing problems in Buton strait waters. Recommendations: The government of Muna regency and its associated elements should increase the institutional capacity of mini purse seine through the strengthening of mini purse seine organizations, institutionalization of values or norms, and resource management.Keywords: Mini Purse Seine; local institution; Bajo Tribe

Purpose The library orientation session is an important marketing tool because it offers the first opportunity for library staff to connect with new clients (Craft and Ballard-Thrower, 2011; Rhoades and Hartsell, 2008). This paper aims to explore library orientation practices in special libraries and information centers with the goal of surveying current practices and identifying guidance for successful orientation program design and delivery. Design/methodology/approach This study explored library orientation practices in special libraries and information services through an electronic survey. The survey questions were developed based on themes that emerged from case studies on library orientations from the academic library literature. These themes included reasons for library orientation program redesigns, the importance of partnerships in orientation design and delivery and the tools and techniques used in the delivery of orientation sessions. Findings The results revealed that library orientations are taking place in special libraries, but there is no consistent approach to library orientation delivery. Even within a single library, multiple approaches to library orientations are taken based on client availability, demand and information needs observations of library staff. Participants’ responses were analyzed to develop recommendations for special library orientations. These include developing partnerships (particularly with human resource departments), using technology strategically, considering the timing of orientations for new potential clients in relation to their start as new employees in the host organization, customizing library orientations based on client segment, engaging in ongoing outreach, and being flexible in design and delivery methods. Research limitations/implications This study represents a starting step in an exploration of library orientation practices in special libraries. The key limitation of this study was the low response rate leading to small sample size. A larger sample of special libraries would be needed to produce a quantitative analysis of the prevalence of practices with an acceptable degree of statistical significance. Alternately, smaller samples of special libraries organized by characteristics such as size or type (e.g. corporate libraries, law libraries and medical libraries) could be conducted to determine if distinctive trends exist within these special library types. Practical implications This study revealed information about key practices and challenges that can be used by special library practitioners seeking to implement or redesign a library orientation program in their library. Originality/value While academic and practitioner literature exists detailing library orientation activities in academic and school libraries, there are very few papers on special library orientations. This study fills a gap in the literature by investigating library orientation practices in special libraries and information centers.
