Scheduling Options Utilized in Departments of Nursing.

Abstract

Study was assigned as part of AMEDD Study Program FY 83. An extensive literature review was accomplished to include summarization and critique of various reported methodologies. Examples of non-traditional scheduling options were described, evaluated for usefulness in the AMEDD and illustrated using 'model nursing units' schedules. Conclusions reached were: (1) that there are multiple scheduling options cited in the literature which are reported to increase staff satisfaction without impacting negatively on existing quality of nursing care; (2) that many of the options available can be tested within the AMEDD system without structural change in personnel management; and (3) civilian personnel policies do not preclude trail and/or implementation with the AMEDD. The investigator recommends trail implementation within the AMEDD and results reported for possible generalization.
