Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to enhance registered nurse (RN) satisfaction with nursing assistants (NAs) in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) due to concerns about support levels.
- By applying LEAN methodology, the role of NAs was expanded, and patient transport responsibilities were shifted to a Centralized Transport Service, leading to a reduction in transport tasks for NAs.
- As a result, RN satisfaction with NAs increased by 12.5%, transport wait times decreased significantly, and overall patient care quality improved, as reflected in hospital assessment scores.
Background: In Norway, the number of people on sick leave and health-related absence from work has increased over the last few years, and mental illness is one of the main contributing factors. Individual Placement and Support (IPS) and the Qualification Program (QP) are two work-oriented measures offered by Norwegian labor and welfare authorities, aimed at increasing labor market participation among people with health-related problems. The aim of this study was to explore which factors people with mental illnesses found helpful for attaining and retaining work, and their experiences with taking part in IPS and the QP.

One way to describe difficulties in implementing new quality improvement interventions is to explore different types of knowledge boundaries, more specifically the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic boundaries, influencing the implementation process. As such, this study aims to identify and understand knowledge boundaries for implementation processes in nursing homes and homecare services.
