    The issues of mutual perception of persons holding positions in the hierarchical organizational structure engaged in (some) operational activities are considered. Theoretical concepts have been introduced and provisions have been formulated that reveal the interconnections of the individual perception of each other by persons. Aspects (sides) of perception are established, scales of measurement and potential values of aspects of perception are defined. The significance of aspects of perception is revealed depending on the relative positioning of the positions of the perceiving and perceived persons in the hierarchy. The basic statement of the concept is formulated: the essential content of perception by person A of person B is completely exhausted by three aspects: personal (personal) perception, social perception and professional perception. These aspects are not reducible to each other.

    ABSTRACT Professional nursing standards and guidelines form the foundation for nurse practitioner curriculum. Nurse educators should understand the role these professional standards and guidelines have in the development of curriculum. Recently, nursing education has moved to a competency-based education with the release of the new American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials and the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties Nurse Practitioner Role Core Competencies. Competency-based curriculum allows for a common understanding of the knowledge, skills, and experiences nurse practitioner graduates require for entry to practice. Competency-based education also provides consistent and uniform expectations for novice nurse practitioners on entry to practice. With the change to a competency-based curriculum, nurse educators can review and revise curriculum through refinement of courses, student learning objectives, assignments, and evaluations. Nurse educators have a responsibility to critically analyze student assignments and evaluations to ensure competencies are met multiple times through a variety of methods. In addition, nurse educators have the opportunity to use assignments that meet multiple competencies to modernize student learning. Refinement and revision lead to enhanced student critical thinking and provide opportunities for real-world training to improve student outcomes.

    A straightforward way of thinking about perception is in terms of perceptual representation. Perception is the construction of perceptual representations that represent the world correctly or incorrectly. This way of thinking about perception has been questioned recently by those who deny that there are perceptual representations. This article examines some reasons for and against the concept of perceptual representation and explores some potential ways of resolving this debate. Then it analyzes what perceptual representations may be: if they attribute properties to entities, what are these attributed properties, and what are the entities they are attributed to.

    It is increasingly imperative that organizational leaders continually assess nurse practitioners' (NPs) and physician assistants' (PAs) productivity, turnover, and vacancies. Optimizing the feasibility, impact, strategic placement, and monitoring increases patient access, improves wait times and affordability, and increases revenue.A healthcare system needed a systematic, data-driven approach aimed at optimizing productivity and placement of NPs and PAs in outpatient primary care sites.Results from this project are reported using the Revised Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence framework. After formation of a QI team, a gap analysis, and action plans were developed and implemented.Priority areas requiring action included the development of an integrated position justification algorithm and tracking form addressing NPs' and PAs' placement, establishing consistent patient contact hours, setting workload expectations, and consistently communicating these via an organization-specific situation background, assessment, and recommendation communication tool.Health care leaders should leverage the talents of NPs and PAs meeting organizational benchmarks and goals as well as the needs of patients. Nurse practitioner and PA leaders should focus on benchmarking performance and analyzing barriers to optimization. These efforts are most beneficial when multidisciplinary in nature.

    Abstract It is now common to explain some of incidental perception’s features by means of a different capacity, called phantasia . Phantasia , usually translated as ‘imagination,’ is thought to explain how incidental perception can be false and representational by being a constitutive part of perception. Through a close reading of De Anima 3.3, 428b10–29a9, I argue against this and for perception first : phantasia is always a product of perception, from which it initially inherits all its characteristics. No feature of perception is explained directly by phantasia , and phantasia is never a part of perception. Phantasia is not imagination or representation, as many have thought, but perception-like appearance. Aristotle thus recognizes alongside three different types of perception three different types of perception-like appearance.

    ABSTRACT The transition period from hospital to home is a vulnerable time for rehospitalization and adverse events for patients. Follow-up clinic visits within 7–14 days of discharge is an effective strategy for reducing hospital readmissions. Neurocritical care patients have a unique set of needs to safely transition to home. We evaluated the feasibility of a Neuroscience Rapid Follow-Up Clinic with nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician associates (PAs) to meet transitional care gaps in neurocritical care patients and prevent rehospitalization. Clinic procedures and documentation templates were customized for the pilot clinic. Five NPs and one PA underwent a brief training course for the ambulatory care setting. Eligible patients were tracked throughout the hospitalization and the team made follow-up appointments. The pilot clinic took place from October 2022 to January 2023. Nine patients were seen in the clinic approximately 8 days after discharge. The clinic attendance rate was 90%. Among the clinic attendees, 66% received referrals to a primary care provider or other services, one third received medication changes or refills and all received patient-specific education. There were no rehospitalizations among the clinic patients. Implementation of this pilot clinic was possible with the current departmental resources. This innovative model of care has the potential to reduce hospital readmissions.
