Purpose – In order to reduce the number of injuries on construction sites, a European Directive prescribes that the clients shall appoint safety and health coordinators in their projects. The purpose of this paper is to find out who are appointed to be health and safety coordinators for the design and planning phase and what they do in order to prevent injuries on sites. Design/methodology/approach – Since the 1st of January 2009, there shall be a coordinator for the design and planning phase in Swedish construction projects. Telephone interviews were made with the coordinators in 42 Swedish building projects. Findings – The coordinators’ education and experiences varied widely, as well as their descriptions of their duties: no duties, administration and active injury prevention. The coordinators who were classified as most active had at least one additional leading role in the projects. Research limitations/implications – The study is qualitative for an increased understanding, not a statistical reflection of the coordinator population. Practical implications – The legislation needs to clarify whether the early conceptual phase of the project is included in the coordinator's commission and whether she/he is supposed to participate in identifying, assessing and reducing risks through design changes. These clarifications will have an influence on when the coordinator should be appointed and what competence she/he needs. Originality/value – The study increases the understanding of how the health and safety coordinators of the planning and projecting phase of building projects perceive their mission and what factors, according to them, have an influence on what they do.

Abstract Teachers who are specialized in environmental education (environmental education school coordinators1) can play an important role in empowering students to shape a sustainable future. In this study, the authors examined a group of Czech environmental education school coordinators. The authors aimed to clarify how they interpret their role at their respective schools, how they perceive their self-efficacy, and what they observe as benefits and barriers to their work as a coordinator. They conducted a qualitative study with focus groups and completed individual in-depth interviews with the coordinators. The results suggest that the coordinators view their work as a mission. The ultimate goal of this mission is to change the children’s behavior to make it more pro-environmental, and, at the same time, to establish this effort as a commitment of the whole school. The authors identified different forms of mission, described development in time and connected them with the perceived self-efficacy of the coordinators.

Virginia Cooperative Extension's (VCE) Master Gardener volunteer program in available in 73 of 102 unit offices. The unit programs are managed by MG coordinators who currently include 10 locally funded agents, eight locally funded non-agents, and 26 volunteers. In 1998, the VCE Master Gardener Coordinator Manual was developed for use by coordinators in managing the local MG program. The 12-unit resource book was developed cooperatively with teams of MGs, coordinators, and agents to enhance coordinators' skills. The manual was the basis of four local MG coordinator training sessions conducted in 1998. Before MG coordinator training, local coordinators were asked to complete an eight-page survey about MG program management practices used locally. In addition to basic questions about coordinator status and length of time with VCE, the survey asked about techniques used in recruitment and training; motivation, retention, and recognition; individual and local MG program evaluation; and other topics. Two months after the last training, all coordinators were asked to evaluate the usefulness of the VCE Master Gardener Coordinator Manual, which was the base text for the training. Finally, 6 months following the final training session, MG coordinators were asked to again complete the eight-page survey about management practices used locally. The results of the survey information have indicated areas in which the management of MG programs are strong and can be strengthened in order to provide enthusiastic, qualified volunteer staff to assist VCE in implementing horticultural educational programs in local communities. The results of the survey are helpful in focusing the work of the state Master Gardener coordinator to provide adequate and appropriate training and other resources for local coordinators. The results of the evaluation survey have assisted the finalization of the VCE Master Gardener Coordinator Manual, a useful resource to any state's Master Gardener program management effort.

The purpose of this research is to examine the work of the ICT coordinator in the school: How does the coordinator see his role and work, what are the characteristics of the coordinators work and his relationship with supervisors, instructors, principals, teachers and students. The research was conducted in the qualitative method, the tool used to assemble data was a semi-structured interview; Ten ICT coordinators were interviewed from a variety of ages and a wide range of experience in teaching. The study found that ICT coordinators are the key figures in getting the process of implementation moving. The ICT coordinators know the importance of their roles in the schools and feel a great sense of responsibility. The coordinators are responsible for many fields, including the budgetary framework, promoting the teaching-learning process and leading school projects. The coordinators attest to a high level of trust with the principals and a good working relationship with the Ministry of Education’s instructors, so that they have an open channel of dialogue and can consult with them. The work of the coordinator with the teachers consists of the pedagogical and technical aspect that are intertwined and attest to each other’s existence.

The role of the transplant coordinator is multifaceted and demanding, requiring advanced clinical skills in addition to patient management responsibilities. Although much is known about the clinical skills of these coordinators, there is virtually no information available about their management abilities. A comparison of the beliefs of transplant coordinators and transplant staff nurses confirms that the coordinators have the role expectations and communication styles to allow them to function effectively in managing patient care as well as in working with physicians and other health professionals.

Many studies have identified the importance of ‘telehealth coordinators’ for successful telehealth implementation and operation. However, little is known about the telehealth coordinators’ functions, the skills and competencies required and the reasons for their influence. This study aimed to examine the key functions of telehealth coordinators in the Queensland public health system, their perceptions about their role, and the level of competencies to support this role. All telehealth coordinators within Queensland Health Telehealth Services were invited to complete a questionnaire. We collected: (i) demographic information; (ii) details of their telehealth work; and (iii) information about knowledge and skills relevant to their telehealth coordinator role. Eighteen of 20 (90%) participants completed and submitted the survey. Telehealth coordinators were responsible for a range of tasks relating to telehealth consultations, technical assistance, administration, research, promotion and marketing. Nearly all telehealth coordinators ( n = 17, 94%) were confident in carrying out the tasks of their job. The majority of telehealth coordinators ( n = 13, 72%) thought education and training relating to telehealth would help improve their job. The top three topics that telehealth coordinators were keen to learn about were: (i) examples of clinical use of telehealth; (ii) types of technologies used; and (iii) telehealth clinical and business models. Our participants were all hospital-based; as the use of telehealth is growing outside of the traditional hospital settings, the role of telehealth coordinators is likely to change.

The Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) Master Gardener (MG) Coordinator Manual, a 14-chapter resource book, was developed cooperatively with teams of VCE MGs, coordinators, and agents to enhance coordinators' skills. It includes chapters on risk management, volunteer management, the educational process, current policies, and the volunteer section of the VCE Master Gardener's Handbook. The VCE MG Coordinator Manual was the basis of four local VCE MG coordinator-training sessions in 1998. This evaluation showed that coordinators are using the manual and adapting the suggestions and samples to fit their local programs, despite the fact that more planning time is often required. Those using the manual increased their understanding of VCE goals and the role of the VCE MG and slightly increased their leadership skills. Reading the manual showed a need for information on training VCE MGs to work with agents to design and implement strong horticulture education programs for Virginia communities. Areas for improvement were identified before final publication.

Emigration countries such as Latvia institutionally should address the negative consequences of the ageing populations' economic and demographic challenges. To this aim, in 2018 network of five regional return migration coordinators was established to foster and nationally encourage return migration. The primary function of the regional coordinator is to foster and facilitate requests of potential return migrants.Drawing on interview materials collected in 2020 with return migration coordinators at the regional level – Latgale, Vidzeme, Zemgale, Kurzeme and Riga, we illustrate good-practice of return migration institutionalisation in Latvia.Our study focuses on three main fields of interest within the work of regional return coordinators: 1) what are the typical return migration paths from the coordinators' perspective? 2) what are the main challenges in coordinators' work? 3) how education-related issues for return migrants are solved?The research reveals that people typically return for family reasons and long for their homeland, traditions, and traditional settings. The research states that the main challenges coordinators' work relates to is the low standardisation level as each returnee's case is unique.

<strong>The role of cancer coordinators in cancer care collaboration in Norwegian municipalities</strong><br />Uncoordinated services represent a pronounced challenge in Norwegian health care. To enhance local cancer care, a trial project implementing cancer coordinator positions in several Norwegian municipalities was launched in 2012. We aim to assess the role cancer coordinators play in the local coordination of cancer care. In 2014, 52% of cancer coordinators in Norwegian municipalities answered a quantitative web survey concerning their role. Cancer coordinators work directly with patients and their families, but are also a resource for other service providers. Collaboration with involved parties is generally adequate, although interactions with general practitioners, NAV, schools and kindergartens could be improved. Cancer prevalence will increase due to population aging, and thus pressure municipal health services. Cancer coordinators report that they contribute positively in local cancer care. Future research should include perspectives also from patients, next-of-kin and collaborating partners, and potential differences in municipalities with and without cancer coordinators should be explored.

Context: The position of clinical education coordinator has been identified as a required one in athletic training education. However, the literature has yet to address the job responsibilities of clinical education coordinators and the commensurate work load/release time needed to accomplish these responsibilities in athletic training education. Objective: To determine the current practices of clinical education coordinators in athletic training program, their current load compensation, whether or not they feel their load compensation is appropriate, and what their ideal load compensation should be. Design: Mixed methods. Setting: Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education–accredited education programs. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 120 clinical education coordinators. Main Outcome Measure(s): A survey was administered including both quantitative and qualitative questions. Quantitative data were analyzed statistically and qualitative data were analyzed using an inductive approach, revealing themes. Results: Statistically significant differences were found when comparing tenure with clinical track in the areas of scholarship and athletic training room coverage. Common job responsibilities for the clinical education coordinator were identified. The study also identified the current and perceived ideal load/release credit for clinical education coordinators based on their program size. Conclusions: Clinical education coordinators are incredibly valuable to all athletic training education programs. This study attempted to solidify their value through identifying job responsibilities and load credit criteria to ensure quality clinical education experiences for students.

This research examines the impact of defensive coordinators and head coaches on team defensive performance in the National Football League (NFL). We find that elite and very poor defensive coordinators and head coaches can have meaningful impacts on their teams’ defensive performances. A team’s defensive performance is shown to improve with increased defensive coordinator tenure. Similarly, defensive coordinators and head coaches who were NFL players contribute to improved defensive performance compared to coaches without experience as NFL players. In addition, a 3-4 defensive alignment is found to be associated with improved defensive performance compared to a 4-3 defensive alignment.

The advance of renal replacement therapy options for people with end-stage kidney disease has given rise to the development of specialist renal nurses including the renal transplant coordinator. The renal transplant coordinator role requires a high level of specialist knowledge in renal and transplantation nursing plus a commitment to following through with people in the long term. To find out just what renal transplant coordinators in Australia do, an interview was conducted with renal transplant coordinators from each Australian state and territory. Their stories relate to transplanting units; referring centres; and, adult, paediatric, state-wide and national renal services. They demonstrate the diversity that exists within the role of the renal transplant coordinator.

This qualitative study examined the educational leadership program coordinator's role in selected research universities, through interviews of 10 coordinators. These individuals were responsible for quasi-administrative curriculum development and outreach duties. Coordinators were committed to leading their programs despite extensive time commitments and few incentives. Two issues created barriers to distributing leadership responsibilities: faculty autonomy and program faculty size. Lacking formal authority, coordinators sometimes found it difficult to enlist the assistance of faculty colleagues. Individuals in tenure-line positions viewed their responsibilities as challenging their continued scholarly productivity, whereas those non-tenure-track positions noted that their work performance was evaluated using different criteria.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Older HUD residents were vulnerable to COVID-19 due to their age, health, income, race, ethnicity, and resources. In combination, these factors increased risk to health and housing stability. While many HUD properties employ a service coordinator, this role is not universally adopted and impacts of these services are not well understood. This research surveyed service coordinators in mid-2020 and late-2021 to characterize older adult experiences living in public housing during the pandemic and ways service coordinators helped manage disruptions. Surveys were disseminated to 3,500 service coordinators. Findings identified needs in transportation, personal care, sociality, mental and physical healthcare, and food. Interventions included resource procurement, benefits management, technology access improvement, and linking residents to services. Tools included information dissemination, needs assessments, and partnership development. This work offers insight into the role of a service coordinator to mitigate health and housing risk. It becomes increasingly salient as HUD residents trend demographically older.

Full textAbstract:
Aim/Purpose: The aim of the study is to examine what ICT coordinators perceive as the main elements of knowledge needed to implement ICT successfully into school culture. Background: For the past few years, Israel’s Ministry of Education has been running a national program of adapting the education system to the 21st century skills. Key teachers have been appointed as ICT coordinators. Their role was to implement technology in schools. Methodology: The participants in this study were 130 ICT coordinators in Israeli Hebrew and Arabic schools. Those ICT coordinators had to attend a special in-service 60-hour course throughout an entire school year. The research tool was the reflection of the ICT coordinators who were asked to complete at the end of the in-service course. Narrative analysis was chosen as the main approach to data analysis. Contribution: We claim that ICT coordinators maintain a complex perception of their role, based on broad personal and professional knowledge that enables them to lead the needed changes. Findings: Based on the findings the coordinators revealed primary successful elements of their work: (a) technological aspects, (b) pedagogical aspects, (c) the organizational aspects, and (d) the ICT coordinator as a leader of systemic change. The first two elements already appear in the TPACK construct, while the others constitute organizational knowledge (OK) and leadership knowledge (LK) that enables the coordinators to facilitate ICT implementation in schools, and these are the unique elements of this study. Recommendations for Practitioners : We recommend that when choosing ICT coordinators or ICT implementation leaders at school, one should check not only that they possess the familiar TPACK knowledge, but also organizational knowledge and leadership knowledge that was found essential to successful completion of the coordinators’ role. Impact on Society : his study has shed light on the nature and significance of leadership knowledge (LK) and its function as an additional expression of TPACK. Future Research: We suggest that future research about educational technology leaders’ TPACK be drawn from these results.

Full textAbstract:
The national evaluation report on the first round of Coordinated Care Trials focused on relationships of care coordination from two main perspectives: that of the General Practitioner (GP) as care coordinator; and the GP perception of non-GP care coordinators. As the majority of the Tasmanian care coordinators came from a nursing background and dealt with a wide range of health care providers, in addition to GPs, a more complex local analysis was required. It was found that relations between care coordinators and other health providers varied considerably by profession andnew strategies were required to ameliorate the resulting conflict. This aspect of the local evaluation provides useful lessons for analysing and avoiding some sources of conflict in the formation and functioning of multi-disciplinary health care teams.

Data were collected based on qualitative research by in-depth interview key informants of various groups, namely, experts in the field and personnel development specialists industry from government agencies and associations in the MICE to complete data analysis using content analysis. The result found that the competency of coordinators in the MICE industry to enhance for excellent service are comprising of 11 aspects. Problems and limitations in industry are lacking people patience in workload, professionalism, experiences. Furthermore, the factor elements to improve the performance of coordinators in personal aspects were knowledge, attitude, and motivation. Group factors were teamwork and relationship in the workplace. Cooperate factors were the organizational culture, values teamwork, and a good relationship within the organization. The implication of this study is to enhancement the public, private and educational sectors’ awareness and implement those issues to manage human capital which is a key factor in creating a competitive advantage for the MICE industry.

Excessive attrition among organ procurement coordinators has been a suspected problem for many years. In 1994 the United Network for Organ Sharing undertook a procurement coordinator attrition study. Initially, focus groups were conducted in conjunction with the 1994 North American Transplant Coordinators Organization's annual meeting. In 1996, 69 executive directors from organ procurement organizations were surveyed on the subject of procurement coordinator attrition. Thirty-five executive directors responded, resulting in a 51% response rate. The UNOS procurement coordinator attrition study explored actual attrition rates, relationships of certain demographic factors to attrition rates, economic impact of attrition on the organizations, and various job tenure issues. The period under study was January 1, 1990 through December 31, 1993. Results did not demonstrate an industry-wide attrition problem. Additionally, the study revealed no enduring attrition problem in any single organization, and some organizations were found to have no attrition during the entire study period.

Every pathogen on this list requires R&D activity, but some are more attractive for private sector investments, as evidenced by the current antibacterial pipeline. A “pipeline coordinator” is a governmental/non-profit organization that closely tracks the antibacterial pipeline and actively supports R&D across all priority pathogens employing new financing tools.

Telehealth coordinators practising in Canada were invited to respond to an online survey and participate in a telephone interview. For the present study, the definition of 'telehealth' was limited to the use of videoconferencing. The coordinators were recruited with the assistance of the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) and the Canadian Telehealth Forum (CTF). The response rate to the online survey from the OTN cohort was 4% ( n = 13) and from the CTF cohort was 36% ( n = 34). Of the 47 people who completed the survey, 16 also participated in a telephone interview. Most respondents were female; their mean age was 40 years. Most telehealth coordinators had some form of post-secondary education. Most, 66% ( n = 31) coordinated both clinical and educational videoconferences. About half of the telehealth coordinators (55%, n = 26) indicated that their job was dedicated solely to telehealth, although 32% ( n = 15) reported that their jobs involved responsibilities outside telehealth. About half of the respondents worked full-time (51%, n = 24). Most respondents either strongly agreed or agreed with the statement that ‘If a telehealth coordinator's role involves patient care then that individual should be a member of a regulated health profession’. The need for organizations to more clearly define the role, better recognize and support telehealth coordinators and develop mechanisms for continuing professional education and certification were recurrent themes in the interviews.

Full textAbstract:
Coordination is described as a widespread function emerging in relation to policy plans inducing collaboration between different sectors, organizations and professions. This paper suggests seeing the implementation phase as a translation process, one where the content of policy plans is reinvented primarily through discussion rather than linearly transferred from the political to the professional arena. It focuses on the function of coordinator with a view to examining how this function is performed and questions its influence on the local translation of both policy plans. The data collection was part of two research projects focusing on the reform of Belgian mental healthcare and the creation of care pathways for forensic patients, combining document analysis, interviews (n = 82) and observations (n = 58). The results highlight the inherent ambiguity of the coordinators’ working environment, the socially-disputed nature of their function and define the coordinators as connection-makers who exert power over processes rather than people or structures. It demonstrates that coordinators influence the policy process by inducing discussions at meetings and the documents subsequently produced. In conclusion, this paper defines coordinators as process managers whose work largely consists of translating policy plans through event connectivity and contextualizing practices. Given the importance of translation in policy implementation, this paper calls for a reconsideration of policy evaluation as well as of the coordinators’ recruitment and training procedures.

Background Stroke coordinators have been inconsistently used in various countries to support stroke care in hospital. Aim To investigate the association between stroke coordinators and the provision of evidence-based care and patient outcomes in hospitals with acute stroke units. Methods Observational study using cross-sectional data from the 2015 National Acute Services Audit Program (Australia): including a retrospective medical record audit (40 records from each hospital) and a self-reported survey of organizational resources for stroke. Multilevel random effects logistic regression for patient outcomes including complications, independence on discharge, and death. Median regression for length of stay comparisons. Results A total of 109 hospitals submitted 4060 cases; 59 (54%) had a stroke coordinator. Compared with patients from stroke unit hospitals with no stroke coordinator ( N = 33, 1333 cases), patients in stroke unit hospitals with a stroke coordinator ( N = 53, 2072 cases) were more likely to receive clinical practices including rehabilitation therapy within 48 hours of initial assessment (88 vs. 82%, p < 0.001), risk factor modification advice (62 vs. 55%, p = 0.003) and receive a discharge care plan (65 vs. 48%, p < 0.001). No differences in complications, independence on discharge, or deaths were evident. Patients from hospitals with a stroke coordinator were more likely to access inpatient rehabilitation (adjusted odds ratio 1.8, 95% confidence interval 1.1–2.8) and have a reduced length of acute stay if discharged (median 14 h, p = 0.03). Conclusion Presence of stroke coordinators was associated with reduced length of stay and improved delivery of evidence-based care in hospitals with a stroke unit.

Background: Spain is the world leader in organ donation, with a rate of 49.0 donations per million population. Nurse transplant coordinators fulfill key roles for the success of the complex donation process. Our aims were: (a) to describe the experience of nurse transplant coordinators and (b) to identify barriers and facilitators during the process of organ donation. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted within the National Transplant Organization. A purposive sampling method was used, and data collection methods included semistructured interviews, researcher field notes, and participants’ personal letters. A systematic text condensation analysis was performed. The study was approved by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee. Results: A total of 16 participants were recruited and four themes were identified: (a) a different job for nurses, (b) facilitators and barriers of the coordinator’s job, (c) not a job for a novice nurse, and (d) coordinators facing a paradigm shift. Coordinators described their job as being characterized with uncertainty and having to face emotional and institutional barriers. The facilitators identified were high educational level and training, and feelings of pride for being part of the National Transplant Organization. Conclusions: The organ donation process requires specialized training to avoid organizational barriers.

This article offers empirical data to explore ways that both industry mentors and academic internship coordinators support student interns in ways that optimize the workplace experience. Rich description of qualitative data from case studies and interviews shows that to optimize the internship, both the industry mentor and the academic internship coordinator ensure that the experience offers professional-level experiences while allowing students to make mistakes in the course of the learning experience. Finally, academic internship coordinators find it most effective to spend time selecting strong industry mentors, and then cultivating these relationships across years of internship interactions.

Sports management programs should provide students with a hands-on and experience education which will provide them with the necessary preparation for real-world sports settings. As such schools’ sports programs should focus on providing students with the training they needed. The study investigated the implementation of the school-based sports management programs of private higher education institutions in the Province of Batangas. A cross-sectional survey of data collection was used to gather the data on 104 PE teachers and 30 sports coordinators. Implementation of the program was assessed in terms of objectives, administrative support, resources, activities and monitoring and evaluation, while the participation of the coordinators was assessed relative to collaboration, mechanisms, and decisionmaking. Alongside that, the issues and challenges of managing the program were also assessed. The study's findings revealed that sports coordinators' implementation and participation were highly visible. Respondents strongly agreed that there were issues and challenges in managing the program. The results also confirmed that the assessments of the sports coordinators and the PE teachers in terms of implementation and participation of the sports coordinators in managing the school-based sports management program were not significantly different.

Full textAbstract:
Background A thorough psychosocial assessment is needed during the evaluation of candidacy for ventricular assist device placement to identify potential barriers that would limit success with the device. Ventricular assist device coordinators are generally involved in the psychosocial assessment of the patient, allowing them to provide a more holistic approach to ventricular assist device candidacy during discussions at multidisciplinary meetings. There is a gap in the literature describing the psychological journey of patients after ventricular assist device implantation and the challenges ventricular assist device coordinators face when caring for this complex population. Objective The psychological journey of 3 patients with a ventricular assist device was explored to determine if common themes exist and to describe the experiences faced by the ventricular assist device coordinators with each patient. Methods Three patient case scenarios are described, as are the interactions with the patients’ ventricular assist device coordinator team members. Results All 3 case scenarios demonstrate similarities of younger ages, the need of family and social support, and ventricular assist device coordinators who went beyond the call of duty to assist in the successful heart transplantation for 2 cases and the successful decommission of the ventricular assist device in another case. Conclusion The psychosocial needs of patients with a ventricular assist device and ventricular assist device coordinators require ongoing assessment because of the many physical and emotional challenges that arise during the time a patient has an implanted ventricular assist device.

Full textAbstract:
PURPOSE: Oncology clinical research coordinators (CRCs) and team-based coordinator care are critical for the success of clinical trials. However, CRCs typically report elevated anxiety and burnout and many oncology centers have high levels of coordinator attrition. To address the need for a team-based intervention to reduce burnout and promote resilience and cohesion among CRCs, we developed a compassion-centered, team-based intervention, Compassion-Centered Spiritual Health Team Intervention (CCSH-TI). METHODS: Participants were CRCs working in disease-specific teams within a comprehensive cancer center. CRCs were randomly assigned by team to either participate in four 60-minute sessions of CCSH-TI or receive the intervention after the study. To evaluate whether CCSH-TI is feasible and acceptable, we used a mixed-method approach including self-report questionnaires and a focus group. To evaluate the impact of CCSH-TI, we assessed self-reported resilience, well-being, burnout, and team civility before and immediately after the intervention period (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04060901 ). RESULTS: Attendance varied by team, but all teams had rates more than 60%. Coordinators rated high levels of credibility of CCSH-TI to improve burnout, and the majority reported that they received benefits, particularly in resilience and stress management, indicating acceptability. Coordinators randomly assigned to CCSH-TI reported an increase in resilience compared with coordinators randomly assigned to the wait-list group (F(41) = 4.53, P = .039). CONCLUSION: Data from this pilot study indicate that CCSH-TI may be a feasible, credible, acceptable, and effective intervention to augment individual resilience among CRCs. However, the quantitative and qualitative data suggest that more comprehensive and systematic programming is necessary to truly mitigate burnout.

IntroductionThe Hospital Preparedness Program, prompted by the 9/11 terrorist attacks, emphasizes the value of developing coordinated response capabilities by community leaders. Immediately following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, this study examined the hospital emergency preparedness coordinators' leadership style and applied leadership theory to Louisiana planners as an integral part of a complex National Response Framework. This regionally coordinated system remains in place today and has been tested a minimum of 15 times in hurricane activations and state-wide exercises and drills.MethodsThree hospital groups participated: (1) regional coordinators representing nine geographic areas; (2) coordinators at acute care facilities; and (3) coordinators at non-acute care facilities. A total of 744 study participants represented over 150 hospitals. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Bass, 1995) assessed three dimensions of leadership style and the Emergency Preparedness Indicator assessed planning priorities, performance ratings, demographic variables of gender, education, and Healthcare Performance Partners (HPP) planning experience and disaster declarations.ResultsTransformational leadership was highest among all three groups and included characteristic of: idealized influence, idealized behaviors, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individual consideration. Transactional leadership was highest (but still lower than transformational) among the non-acute care group and included characteristics of: contingent reward and management by exception (both active and passive). Gender and education were not significant predictors of leadership style but positive associations of time spent on emergency preparedness activities were found.ConclusionsPrevious studies reported the relationship of transformational leadership style to cohesion scores of 2.1. This study expands those results by further detailing leadership styles to the hospital emergency preparedness coordinator. It builds on a standardized approach to assess coordinator leadership style and effectiveness measures.

e18310 Background: Cancer care is complex, requiring multidisciplinary care over time and settings. Our implementation strategy for participation in CMS’ Oncology Care Model included the development of a new care management program to provide elderly patients with cancer support and continuity between inpatient and outpatient care with the goal of reducing acute care utilization. With no published models of care coordination in cancer, we launched this program using nurses experience to risk stratify and manage the needs of nearly 2500 patients. To optimize their work, we sought to understand the activity breakdown of their working time and to identify areas that can be managed more efficiently. Methods: Care coordinators are nurses responsible for completing the Institute of Medicine (IOM) care plan, stratifying patients by risk and comorbidity and administering weekly symptom assessment scales to those at high risk for disease and treatment complications. We created, pilot tested and refined a data collection tool that care coordinators could self-report the time they spent in activities of direct and indirect patient care. We performed a desk audit to measure the amount of time that oncology care coordinators spend on various activities and to explore differences in academic center versus care center care coordinators. A total of seven care coordinators self-reported activity specific time for 5 working days. Data were analyzed to assess variation in the proportion of activity time by care coordinator, site of care and day of the week using anova and t-test for the difference in mean activity time. Results: Care coordinators spent the majority of their time in indirect patient care (58%) with the highest percentage of their time specifically on charting/documentation (28%) while only 42% of their time included activities that were direct patient care. We observed no significant difference in the proportion of time spent in direct versus indirect patient care across care coordinators (p = 0.47, day of the week (p = 0.35) or by location of care (p = 0.68). Conclusions: A minority of care coordinators time is spent on providing direct patient care and substantial time is spent on indirect activities including charting and documentation. The efficiency of the care coordination model may be improved by transferring tasks that do not require the clinical expertise of these nurses.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this mixed research study was to explore how teaching problem solving is taking place at the elementary level in north Lebanon private schools, and to understand the challenges students were facing from the teachers’ and coordinators’ perspective. Four instruments were used: An inventory sent to 273 private schools, a teacher’s questionnaire, a coordinator’s interview, and class observations. Findings revealed that out of 129 Mathematics teachers who responded to the inventory, 126 (97%) affirmed using active learning strategies (ALS). To examine how Mathematics teaching is taking place, five private English speaking schools were purposefully selected to participate in the study with five Mathematics coordinators and ten teachers. The results showed inconsistency between the inventory, coordinators’ interviews, teachers’ responses to the questionnaire, and class observations. While responses to the inventory and teachers ‘questionnaires showed that at least 60% of teachers use ALS, class observations revealed that teachers did not make use of strategies that engage students in learning or in monitoring their progress and understanding. Moreover, teachers’ and coordinators’ responses to some questions showed that students’ difficulties were due to two main reasons: language barrier and poor analytical skills. Recommendations for teachers’ training on specific active learning strategies and adequate English language usage to teach mathematics were suggested.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background: Current evidence on the effects of Care Coordination (CC) on older adults’ well-being and health service utilization is inconsistent. Previous studies are mostly limited to regional data and focus mostly on nurse-led CC instead of layperson Care Coordinators like family caregivers. This study explores the effects of having CC in a national sample of U.S. older adults and whether the coordinators’ professionalism impacts the effect of having CC on multidimensional health outcomes (Health outcomes were conceptualized as physical health, healthcare utilization, and care encounters). Methods: Data were from the 2016 and 2018 waves of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) (n=1,372). Multivariate regression models were used to examine the effects of CC on multidimensional health outcomes in 2016 and the longitudinal effects of having CC. We also tested the effect of Care Coordinators’ professionalism on the multidimensional health outcomes. All models controlled for sociodemographic characteristics and health status. Results: Findings suggest that having CC doesn’t have a positive effect on older adults’ health outcomes. Having CC was associated with an increased number of acute diseases (β = 0.16, p < .001) and nonacute diseases (β = 0.21, p < .01) in longterm. The results regarding cross-sectional effects show that receiving care from a Coordinator was related to increased health service utilization. Participants with professional Care Coordinators were more likely to report receiving person-centered care (OR=1.60, p<.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrates the limited effects of CCs on older adults’ physical health outcomes, and emphasized the importance of care coordinators’ qualifications.

Introduction Access to innovative medicine requires proper evidence from clinical trials with the growing demand of qualified and experienced personnel. The clinical research coordinator (CRC) plays an important role in the conduction of research activities and provides a strong support to the research team. In Italy, this role is not recognized at any institutional level and its professional outline is still indefinite. Several national associations (Associazione Italiana di Oncologia Medica, Collegio Italiano dei Primari Oncologi Medici Ospedalieri, Gruppo Italiano Data Manager) are committed to promoting the enhancement and recognition of the professional status of CRCs, underlining their role as fundamental. Methods A web survey, proposed by the AIOM CRC Working Group, was submitted to 319 Italian oncology sites with items focusing on the organization of sites, the research activities, the staff composition, and the presence of coordinators and the multidisciplinary team. Results A total of 115 sites (35.9%) responded to the web survey. Clinical studies were carried out at 88.7% of the investigated sites, and coordinators were on staff at 75.5% of the active investigational sites. Interestingly, there was a direct association between the number of clinical studies and the number of coordinators, whose contribution to the research activities is believed to be essential for trial conduct in 82.4% of cases. Most sites retain that the quality of clinical research has absolutely improved (83.3%) after the implementation of a coordinator as member of the team. Conclusions Given the constant growth of the number of clinical trials performed at Italian oncology sites, the CRC proves to be an essential component of the research team. However, there is an urgent need to institute the professional role alongside the need to standardize the training of coordinators to establish the minimum requirements enhanced by qualifying courses.

AbstractA novel inpatient vocational counseling service (named “In-Voc”) was developed and evaluated in three Australian spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation hospitals, aiming to improve vocational outcomes after SCI. The program provided a trained Vocational Counseling Coordinator who worked alongside the allied health team, medical, and nursing staff at each hospital. The Coordinators were interviewed to examine the role expectations and role behaviors associated with the introduction of their novel, vocationally focused, occupational role. The Coordinators’ descriptions of their role behavior were very similar to those defined by rehabilitation counselors in North America. They reported the novel role to be a productive and satisfying one. Encouragingly, the In-Voc program was associated with significantly higher post-injury employment outcomes.

This research was conducted on the coordinator of school counselors at state high schools and private high schools in Medan City. This study aims to determine the obstacles experienced by school counselors in the implementation of guidance and counseling service programs. This research is a descriptive research with a quantitative approach and survey methods. The collection technique used in this study was a questionnaire on the Guttman scale. The subjects in this study were 30 school counselor coordinators, including 15 school counselor coordinators at State High Schools and 15 school counselor coordinators at Private High Schools in Medan City. The results of this study showed that the obstacles experienced by school counselors in internal factors in the aspect of teacher competence showed higher results (50%) than aspects of personality and dedication (17%). Meanwhile, external factors in the aspect of facilities and infrastructure showed higher results (47%) than aspects of economic welfare (13%). The understanding and lack of professionalism of school counselors causes this to be one of the weaknesses of teachers in conducting counseling programs.
