Seasoned nurses frequently resign from their positions due to burnout. An innovative idea that could support nurse retention is nurse sabbaticals. Balanced scorecards with strategy maps can display financial benefit, positive customer experience, and operational and human capital development required to initiate and sustain a professional nurse sabbatical. A balanced scorecard with strategy map is an effective tool that demonstrates connection between the organizational mission and the outcomes of a nurse sabbatical program.

Measurable improvements in the American Healthcare System have been elusive. To understand why, a survey measuring improvement capabilities in a health system was developed from a 2002 tool that measured an outdated quality improvement methodology. That survey was tested for content validity and achieved an overall representativeness content validity index of 87.

Employee turnover in healthcare institutions is a critical issue affecting both quality of care and organizational costs. This study examines the potential impact of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a communication tool on employee turnover rates in a Japanese hospital setting. A case study of Bethlehem Garden Hospital in Tokyo, Japan, was conducted to examine turnover rates before and after the implementation of BSC.

In Europe, various conservation programs adopted to maintain or restore biodiversity have experienced differing levels of success. However, a synthesis about major factors for success of biodiversity-related conservation programs across ecosystems and national boundaries, such as incentives, subsidies, enforcement, participation, or spatial context, is missing. Using a balanced scorecard survey among experts, we analyzed and compared factors contributing to success or failure of three different conservation programs: two government programs (Natura 2000 and the ecological measures of the Water Framework Directive) and one conservation program of a non-governmental organization (NGO; Rewilding Europe), all focusing on habitat and species conservation.

We developed an interpretable model, BOUND (Bayesian netwOrk for large-scale lUng caNcer Digital prescreening), using a comprehensive EHR dataset from the China to improve lung cancer detection rates. BOUND employs Bayesian network uncertainty inference, allowing it to predict lung cancer risk even with missing data and identify high-risk factors. Developed using data from 905,194 individuals, BOUND achieved an AUC of 0.

Introduction/background: Low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) usually have weak health systems with poor health outcomes. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is a strategic management tool widely used to improve healthcare services by aligning operational activities with long-term objectives across four dimensions namely patient, financial, internal process, and learning and growth. While BSC has been adopted in various high-income countries with positive impacts, its effectiveness in improving public health systems in LMIC is still unclear.
