Sorbitol is a type of sugar-alcohol that can be naturally found in some fruits. Because it provides fewer calories and sugars compared to regular sweeteners, it is often used in sugar-free or diabetic foods.
Defining and measuring nursing productivity: a concept analysis and pilot study. Aims. The purpose of this article is fourfold. First we report a concept analysis of nursing productivity to show the complexity of the concept and its measurement. We then show how the concept analysis was used to design a method for measuring nursing productivity. Third, we describe how we used this measure in a pilot study of the impact of a differentiated Registered Nurse (RN) practice model on productivity.
Productivity is useful as a relative measure of actual output of production compared to the actual input of resources, measured across time or against common entities. As output increases for a level of input, or as the amount of input decreases for a constant level of output, an increase in productivity occurs.Therefore, a productivity measure describes how well the resources of an organization are being used to produce input. Productivity is often confused with efficiency.Efficiency is generally seen as the ratio of the time needed to perform a task to some predetermined standard time.herefore, a productivity measure describes how well the resources of an organization are being used to produce input.
