202. Risk Factors for Nonelective Hospitalization in Frail and Older Adult, Inner-City Outpatients.

Author

Damush, Teresa M., Smith, David M., and Perkins, Anthony J.

Abstract

Purpose: In our study, we sought to improve the accuracy of predicting the risk of hospitalization and to identify older, inner-city patients who could be targeted for preventive interventions. Design and Methods: Participants (56% were African American) in a randomized trial were from a primary care practice and included 1,041 patients living in the inner city who were either [greater than or equal to] 75 years of age or were [greater than or equal to] 50 years of age with severe disease. As a secondary analysis, we assessed patient characteristics at baseline involving five domains of health, including utilization and satisfaction. We followed participants for 12 months and recorded the occurrence of nonelective hospitalization within the study period. We developed a multivariate model using logistic regression to predict this outcome. Results: The following patient characteristics independently predicted an increased risk for nonelective hospitalization: having the diagnosis of congestive heart failure, diabetes mellitus, or anemia; and having more medications prescribed, having a lower body mass index, and having more emergency department visits during the previous year. Better physical functioning reduced the risk of hospitalization. Implications: Moderate accuracy of a prediction model (0.73) was observed. In addition to focusing on patients with chronic disease, helping them maintain physical functioning may help reduce nonelective hospitalization.

207. Higher Education Leadership Competency Model: Serving Colleges and Universities During an Era of Change

Author

Smith, David M.

Abstract

As colleges and universities face increased pressure from many directions, HR professionals have an opportunity to strengthen their institutions by recruiting, hiring and training non-academic staff that have the leadership competencies necessary to shepherd the institutions through an era of change. But without a clear model of the optimal leadership competencies, institutions often fall short in their recruitment and hiring efforts. The Higher Education Leadership Competency Model presents 14 attributes shared by the most effective higher education leaders.

216. Using Literacy Outside of School: An Ethnographic Investigation. Final Report.

Author

Pennsylvania Univ., Philadelphia. and Smith, David M.

Abstract

A 2-year study examined the leisure reading of 60 and other language arts instruction in elementary school classrooms in west Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, led to the conclusion that many school practices were based upon assumptions of the out-of-school lives of students that were of questionable accuracy. Consequently, the researchers were asked to describe in as much detail as possible the regular routines of the families with which they were working. The researchers did not establish a research schedule but negotiated a series of contacts based on the mutual obligations of friendship. The result was a set of portraits that constituted a case study in some aspect of the culture of literacy. Although most of the reports describe inner city Black families, two reports look at literacy use among relatively recently arrived Southeast Asians. All of the families are poor, and some are on welfare. All of the families are concerned that their children succeed in school, but not at any cost. Two themes that characterize these portraits are (1) the care with which the families organize themselves to make full use of the resources they have to meet the demands of school and the workplace while living lives of dignity and happiness, and (2) the fear that they may not be doing everything they should or could be. The typical posture of a family is, "we will do everything we can to meet the school's demands: however, we will not sacrifice those things that give meaning and dignity to us. School success isn't the only thing important for our children to experience." (HOD)

Discusses distinctions between the anthropology of education and educational research. Although the educationist generally has a technocist view of the reality of schooling (how to do it more efficiently), the anthropologist deals with the relational reality of schooling (what events mean to participants).
