From the Paper "There are four divisions within the CNO that report to the Executive Director, Anne Coghlan. The office of Practice and Policies is run by Director Heather Campbell with three sub-offices for Policy, Practice and Entry to practice. This division is responsible for compliance of nursing policies and practices within the province and in association with the rest of the nation. The office of Investigations and Hearings is administrated by Director Gail Siskind and composed of two sub-offices, Investigations and Prosecutions who are responsible for adjudicating claims and charges related to nursing, nursing care, patient grievances or hospital allegations. The office of Corporate Services is managed by Director Paul Reinhart with four managers reporting to him on administrative areas ranging from human resources to customer service and registrations. This is primarily an organizational administrative division for handling affairs of its own. The fourth division is managed by Director Cathy Sanford and is Knowledge Services. Knowledge services is administrated by three managers who handle information technology, communication services and information service offerings to members and within the organizational structure."
Abstract The United States Navy uses several databases to enable it to function to the best of its capability. This paper presents information on a few of these databases, including the Navy Training Management and Planning System, which provides facilities of multiple funding, personnel, manpower, equipment, and training-course information databases in a single, integrated database. It also looks at the Navy Training Assessment System/General Training Management and Planning System (NTAS/GENTMPS), used since 1995 to train managers.
From the Paper "Computer Sciences Corporation has a contract worth over $30 million with the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, to integrate software engineering software systems for the Navy Training Management and Planning System. The contract is for eight years. During this time NTMPS will be converted to a web-based system to allow users to develop special studies and reports - this way they can work strategically to meet certain naval challenges."
Abstract The paper examines how both the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) and the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) have committed themselves to developing tools that will assist nurses in providing the highest quality care possible. One of these tools consists of a guide concerning restraints. The paper explains that the value of the policy on restraints is not merely of a practical nature but is observed also in forcing forces to think deeply about issues such as accountability and the implications of all practice.
