You’re just the nurse. How important could you be?

 Aequor Technologies     01:24     No comments   


 

I spent an entire year of my life defending the intelligence of the nursing profession. The number of people that actually believe we are the sexual, skirt-wearing, coffee-getting, space-takers you see in the media and at Halloween parties is saddening. During my year as Miss Colorado 2015, I met hundreds of incredible nurses. But I also met hundreds of people who have no idea what we do and how educated we are. There are people out there who truly think all we do is take orders, hand pens, wipe butts, and sometimes take a vital sign or two.

Let’s clear this up right now. I’ll make it simple:

To start, the nursing profession is not solely female. We have more than 330,000 males in nursing.

The nursing profession contains many levels of education with varying scopes of practice and licenses. There are Vocational Nurses, Practical Nurses, Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners with Master’s degrees, and Registered Nurses/Nurse Practitioners with Doctoral and PhD degrees.

In some states, nurses with a Master’s degree or higher, can practice independently. In all states they can diagnose clients, order exams, review diagnostics, prescribe medication, and treat you. Yes, by themselves.

Not all nurses work in hospitals. You need us in your homes, nursing facilities, rehab facilities, outpatient facilities, courtrooms, morgues, ambulances, helicopters, and clinics, too.

Registered Nurses are at the forefront of healthcare. We utilize critical thinking to make clinical judgments about the well-being of our patients and, in some instances, can independently treat according to policy.

Yes, many nurses operate off of the orders written by Medical Doctors. In order to so, nurses must know pharmacology and how to administer the medications that could kill you, evaluate and assess a patient with ANY diagnosis of EVERY age, understand all anatomical systems and what could go wrong with them, and know how to communicate all of the above medically, electronically, and simplified.

We spend hours with patients and take total care of them throughout our shift. We CARE about each and every one of them. We hurt with you, we laugh with you, we cry with you, we celebrate with you. We know your families, we know your children, we know and try to remember everything you share with us. We pray for you. We don’t stop thinking about how you’re doing just because our shift ends.

We (along with most service providers, first responders, firefighters and policemen) miss holidays, time with our families, bathroom breaks, lunches, and important life events to serve you.

We know and perform life-saving measures…. All. The. Time.

We are vital to the healthcare team. It simply would not work without us. It wouldn’t work without the rest of the team, either. We are all necessary. We are all needed. We are all important.

Nurses are highly educated healthcare professionals who are absolutely essential to safe and effective patient care.

Austin, Texas: Thursday, February 28, 2019 – TherapyStaff, LLC today announced it has been named as a Best Staffing Company to Work For winner for 2019. The award is given annually by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), the global advisor on staffing and workforce solutions, and recognizes employers for their top performance in engaging and retaining talent. The winners were recognized at SIA’s 28th annual Executive Forum North America, held February 25th – 28th at the JW Marriott in Austin, TX.

The winners represent companies who scored in the top quartile in each of the award categories. The categories comprise North American firms with 10 to 20 internal employees, firms with 21 to 50 internal employees, firms with 51 to 200 employees, firms with 201-500 employees, and firms with over 501 employees; smaller and larger UK firms; and Best Staffing Company to Temp/Contract for. The Best Staffing Firms to Work For awards are sponsored by Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: MWW).

“We work hard on culture. It’s a full-time job.” – WilliamKlabo, RVP

“Congratulations to the winners of this year’s Best Staffing Firm to Work For Awards,” said Barry Asin, President of SIA. “These high-performing companies stand out for their quality of leadership and as organizations that prioritize culture and employee engagement. There is a strong correlation between employee engagement and growth. These firms have made that connection and use it to excel in their business and drive outstanding results.”

Approximately 400 firms sought participation in the program this year, which was conducted by SIA in conjunction with Quantum Workplace, an Omaha, NE-based company. Internal employees at each firm were asked to complete a 40-question online survey that measured 10 key engagement categories focusing on items including teamwork, trust in senior leaders, feeling valued, manager effectiveness, compensation and benefits. There is no charge for participation and companies completing the survey receive a report highlighting their firm’s results.

In order to gather statistically sound results, participating companies must have reached a minimum level of employee participation, based on their total number of employees. Companies were ranked in each size category according to their overall score. Winners were chosen based entirely on the survey results.

Best Practices For BI/DW Project Planning

 Aequor Technologies     02:59     Aequor, Big Data, IT solutions     No comments   

BI Application & Data Warehouse Project Planning should be done perfectly from all aspects: technically, resource-wise and from a business perspective. It is key to a project’s successful execution and completion.

So here is what you should do.

1. For Data Sourcing

Ensure you have all the data that is needed to compile measurements and to answer the driving business questions. For that matter, focus on these 4 things:

i. Identify data sources in the early planning stages so that all the data you might need, is readily available.
ii. Develop an understanding of how you will integrate the different data sources from, let’s say, multiple internal systems and external repositories.
iii. Ensure timeliness and consider all the cost-related constraints. You should consider how frequently you can collect data from the aforementioned sources. Also, consider the cost of refreshing your data from external data sources. In case you are using social media as a data source, more frequent updates may be required. 
iv. If cost becomes a limiting factor, as would be the case with social media data, you can consider sampling smaller data sets more frequently rather than collecting large amounts of data. Larger data sets may give you more accurate social media measures; however, well designed sampling techniques can still give useful information.

2. For BI/Data Warehouse Resources

You need a team with the capability to handle cross-organizational interactions and a deep understanding of the business issues for strengthening relationships with business users. Moreover, they should know the best ways to work with others and communicate more effectively both in writing and in business meetings and presentations. The challenges become even more pronounced as the DW/BI system evolves into a standard component of the IT environment, thus weakening the connection to the business. 

3. When Dealing With Big Data

Historically, Business Intelligence (BI) was practiced using established practices and tools, including dimensional modeling, extraction transformation and load (ETL), ad hoc reporting and dashboards. These techniques required that a data warehouse or at least a data mart is able to support management reporting that was not generally available from transaction processing systems. 

Today, we have to tap into a broader array of information captured in big data. Here are some essential characteristics to keep in mind as you develop a strategy for big data analysis.

Big data does not completely come from sales, inventory or human resources systems. It is generally a varied mixture of data sourced from application log files, machine sensor data, and social media.

1. Descriptive statistics. It is especially useful with big data sets when you partition the data and compare different groups. Most BI practitioners are familiar with this technique wherein calculations such as mean, median, and standard deviation are commonly used to describe a population. So when you get the data from Application log, you can find the average time spent in your Web application prior to the sale and not just calculate the average dollar value of a sales transaction from a sales data

2. Grouping your customers. Now normally you would do that by sales region but that is not the most informative way to organize and analyze your data. In lieu, you should think of clustering. This machine learning technique is used to identify subsets of data with similar characteristics. For example, clustering might help you identify different groups of customers based on the time spent in your Web application and the amount of their sales transaction.

3. Last you can explore big data sets and testing hypotheses to complement the types of analysis you do with your traditional BI systems.
Once you have identified a group of customers, you can also analyze their navigation patterns on the site.  Since they spend a significant amount of time on your site, you can reasonably hypothesize whether they are interested in making a purchase or not. 

4. Dealing with Big Data Types

• For large volumes, deploy enough commodity servers and storage along with a distributed file system, like the Hadoop File System (HDFS), and you can collect petabytes of data. 
• If you do not need to store the data for too long, you can take advantage of public clouds like Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure and Rackspace, but watch out for long term storage costs.
• If you have rapidly changing data consider using a real time big data analytics tool like Storm. 


Traditional BI is not dead yet and will not be anytime soon. It is here to stay as long as the business fundamentals are the same.  So the management reporting based on data from transaction processing systems will remain useful. However, big data shall introduce new ways of understanding business operations that complement existing management reporting systems.
