The Impact of Restructuring on Professional Nursing Practice

Through the 1990s most hospitals were involved in restructuring. As a result, maintaining professional nursing practice is challenging in these cost-constrained hospital environments. In new models of care, professional nursing practice expectations are often reconceptualized into multidisciplinary care team structures in which the team is empowered and becomes the focus rather than the individual nurse caring for her or his patient. Given that nurses provide the greatest part of patient care in hospitals, professional nursing practice has the potential to differentiate one hospital from another. Consequently, it is in the strategic interest of organizational policy makers to implement initiatives that support professional nursing practice.

Confronted with decreasing reimbursement and managed care, hospitals across the country have been "reengineering" in an effort to streamline processes and enhance revenue. Because of the financial implications of discharge planning, hospital social workers and their departments are typically examined and realigned in some way during a reengineering process. To survive in this environment, social workers must understand the principles of reengineering; its hoped for and actual impact; be able to identify opportunities to contribute; and have the capacity to cope with an evolving professional role. This paper presents a general overview of reengineering and its adaptation to the health care environment. Specific challenges for medical social workers are described along with strategies for surviving in a reengineered health care system.
