Marketing and the most trusted profession: the invisible interactions between registered nurses and industry.
The mainstay for addressing conflicts of interest in health care is disclosure of personal financial ties to industry. The researchers described industry activities targeted at registered nurses. They concluded that nurse-industry interactions may be common and influential, but they remain invisible in the current policy climate. Although some aspects of these interactions may be beneficial, others may pose financial risks to hospitals or safety risks to patients.

How and when nurses collect urine cultures on catheterized patients: a survey of 5 hospitals.
Obtaining a specimen for urine culture is a key element in evaluating for catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). Nurses at 5 hospitals completed a survey regarding their knowledge, training, and practices of appropriate reasons for obtaining urine cultures. The researchers concluded that important opportunities exist for nurses to optimize the decisions to obtain urine cultures and the process for obtaining them.

Strategies for achieving whole-practice engagement and buy-in to the patient-centered medical home.
In this paper the authors describe strategies for obtaining organizational buy-in to and whole-staff engagement of patient-centered medical home (PCMH) transformation and practice improvement. The investigators suggest that their study provides a list of strategies useful for facilitating PCMH transformation in primary care. They assert that these strategies could be investigated empirically in future research, used to guide medical practices undergoing or considering PCMH transformation, and used to inform health care policy makers.
