A Study to Test and Analyze a Manpower Resource Management System for the Veterans Administration Health System. Final Report. System Operations Manual

摘要

Designed to be utilized by a centralized group of staffing specialists and the hospital-based MRMS coordinators, this Systems Operation Manual is one volume in a set of five submitted to the National Academy of Sciences by CSF Ltd. and Arthur Young and Co. The Systems Operation Manual is to be used in conjunction with the two volume set of Staffing Methodologies, and its purpose is to provide the materials and detailed instructions for the application of the Manpower Resource Management System (MRMS) throughout the hospital system. Technically oriented, the major focus is on the tools and methodologies required to implement, maintain and update the MRMS standards and reports. Each section of the manual provides the procedures, tasks and forms for each of the following phases: (1) implementation; (2) maintenance and updating; and (3) on-going reporting. Since this manual is oriented toward the operational aspects of the system, a detailed discussion of managerial usage is not provided.
