Doctors, Hospital Employees Take Up Some Slack by Donating More Money WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- With charitable pledges - especially in the Western United States - declining due to the deepening recession, fundraisers were forced to spend significantly more money in fiscal year 2009 than in past years to secure gifts and grants for nonprofit hospitals and health care systems in the United States and Canada, according to benchmarking data released today by the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP).

Research in healthcare operations has grown in interest and importance over the last decade, as the healthcare environment continues to become more complex and challenging. This study investigates the relationships among organizational culture, knowledge management, and patient safety performance. Drawing on existing literature, the authors develop and test a model for patient safety performance using data from a nationwide survey of more than 200 hospitals. Structural equation modeling is used to provide empirical support for the model. In particular, they find that different dimensions of organizational culture are related to more effective knowledge management, which in turn is associated with better patient safety performance. The authors conclude by discussing the major implication...

The economy is definitely the hot topic this year. So, it is no surprise that almost all new Six Sigma Black Belt (BB) projects are more focused than ever on short-term, bottom-lin results. Many of these projects are pure cost-reduction strategies, but more forward-looking organizations are focusing their BB projects on revenue growth -- or, at least, on strategies to replace lost revenues. Each year, Professor Tim Clapp and the author require the undergraduate and graduate students taking their Six Sigma quality courses at North Carolina State University to plan and conduct realistic BB projects during the semester.

McGinly, Ph.D., CAE, president and chief executive officer, Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP). McGinly's remarks were based on AHP's Performance Benchmarking Service matrix, designed to analyze fundraising experiences of a varied range of foundations whose philanthropic efforts support nonprofit hospitals and health care systems throughout North Ame...
