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.
Definition, concepts, and uses. Labor productivity is defined as real output per labor hour, and growth in labor productivity is measured as the change in this ratio over time. Labor productivity growth is what enables workers to produce more goods and services than they otherwise could for a given number of work hours. As an example, suppose workers in a factory can make 20 cars an hour.
