A management development strategy for the health and personal social services in Ireland

The integration of personal and organisational objectives is a notoriously difficult task but a systematic approach to training and development provides a powerful source of integration. A model illustrating how management development can occupy the 'middle ground' where organisational and individual development overlap is included in this report. Management development must be just one part of a continum, starting with workforce planning and recruitment and selection, and leading to training and development, succession planning and career development.

Impacto de la rotación cíclica de antibióticos sobre la etiología de las neumonías nosocomiales por gramnegativos en una unidad de cuidados intensivos (uci)

La rotació cíclica d'antibiòtics (RCA) consisteix a restringir de forma determinada i establerta un antibiòtic o classe d'antibiòtics durant un determinat període de temps, per a tornar a reintroduir-lo posteriorment. D'aquesta manera es pretén evitar l'aparició de resistències bacterianes derivades d'un ús continuat del mateix. En aquest treball, proposem la RCA com una estratègia per al control d'infeccions per gèrmens multirresistents i veure la seva influència en els gèrmens més freqüents que intervenen en les pneumònies nosocomials (NN). A través del registre ENVIN es van recollir les dades de tots els pacients ingressats a la UCI de l'Hospital Universitari la Fe durant dotze mesos consecutius. Es van dividir en 4 cicles de 3 mesos de durada cadascun d'ells. En el primer cicle es va restringir ampicilina/sulbactam, amikacina, cefalosporines i vancomicina; en el segon cicle carbapenems, amikacina i linezolid; en el tercer cicle tigeciclina, quinolones, tobramicina i linezolid i al quart i últim cicle, piperacilina/tazobactam, tobramicina i teicoplanina. Es va comparar amb els tres mesos previs al inici del treball, al qual l'ús d'antibiòtics va ser lliure. El temps global de l'estudi va ser de 15 mesos. El percentatge d'aïllaments d´Acinetobacter spp en el període basal va ser del 46,15% (n=6), de Pseudomonas aeruginosa 15,38% (n=2) i d'Escherichia coli 7, 69% (n=1). Al final de l'estudi els gèrmens aïllats van ser en un 8,57% (n=3) Acinetobacter spp i en un 37,14% (n=13) Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Aquest treball final de carrera es basa en l'anàlisi, disseny i implementació d'una solució per a la autogestió dels recursos humans de l'empresa; és a dir, per tal que tots els treballadors de la mateixa puguin gestionar tot el relacionat amb el seu entorn de treball (les seves dades personals, el seu temps de treball, les tasques relacionades amb el seu càrrec, la sol·licitud de vacances...). Paral·lelament, aquest treball estudia la viabilitat d'emprar com a eina de treball professional diària l'IDE Eclipse amb la integració del plug-in d'Exadel Studio per a l'ús del framework Struts.
