Milisa
Manojlovich, PhD, RN, CCRN
Assistant Professor
mmanojlo@umich.edu
Education
PhD, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 2003
MS, Rush University, Chicago, Illinois, 1989
ADN, Indiana University, Gary, Indiana, 1985
BEd, University of Windsor, Windsor Ontario, 197
Research Interests
I am interested in understanding how social structures
in the hospital work environment affect various nursing
processes that contribute to nursing as well as patient
outcomes. Through ongoing research I hope to link nursing
processes such as professional nursing practice behaviors
and nurse/physician communication to improved patient
outcomes.
I am intrigued by the question of whether or not nursing
processes can be empirically linked to adverse patient
occurrences and patient outcomes such as failure to rescue.
I am also interested in the role of nursing administration
in improving both nursing and patient outcomes.
Eventually, I would like to refine a theoretical framework,
initially developed for the dissertation, to explain the
relationships between some of these variables.

AkkeNeel
Talsma, PhD, RN
Assistant Professor
Clinical Information Analyst, Senior
Clinical Affairs, University of Michigan Hospital
University of Michigan School of Nursing
400 North Ingalls, Room 4154
Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-0482
Phone: 734-763-5199
Fax: 734-647-2416
antalsma@umich.edu
Education
PhD, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan (1995)
MS, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan (1991)
BSN, Academie voor de Gezondheidszorg, Groningen, The
Netherlands (1987)
RN, Diakonessenhuis, Leeuwarden, The Netherlands (1984)
Introduction
Dr. Talsma has worked for ten years in the private sector,
focusing on performance measurement, clinical improvement
projects and patient safety, prior to joining the School
of Nursing. She has participated in accreditation reviews
(NCQA, JCAHO) and prepared numerous performance measures,
such as HEDIS measures (including tool design, data
collection from medical records, verification, submission)
and conducted focused studies to identify areas for
clinical improvement (1996). Dr. Talsma currently serves
as re-elected Board member for this HMO.
Working in the medical information industry, she has
consulted with large insurance companies and managed
large HEDIS data collection and reporting operations
in a for-profit environment (1999). Dr. Talsma implemented
CMS' Sixth Scope of Work, a quality improvement program
for Medicare, using an unique approach where quality
indicators were bundled and reported by hospital and
bench marking information. This information formed the
baseline for state wide quality improvement activities
in Michigan hospitals (2001).
For the past 4.5 years Dr. Talsma has worked in the
Office of Clinical Affairs at the University of Michigan
Hospital, implementing JCAHO Core Measures, Surgical
Infection Prevention (SIP) measures, and the AHRQ Patient
Safety Indicators. Aside from reporting the data, she
is known to collaborate with key stakeholders and bring
a multi-disciplinary representation together. The workgroup
determines pertinent internal systems and processes
to allow for modifications to take place to improve
performance. Dr. Talsma has been invited to speak about
the successful approaches to improve performance. Results
from successful SIP interventions have been presented
at national and state conferences. Her detailed study
of the AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators has resulted in
changes within the hospital information environment
and the AHRQ has adopted a number of suggestions about
ICD-9 codes and indicator logic. Dr. Talsma has implemented
an unique data collection and reporting system, building
off of existing anesthesia information systems, that
captures data elements for the Michigan Keystone ICU
Project and (future) JCAHO ICU core measures and CMS
SCIP measures. The weekly reporting system allows clinicians
to act quickly if gaps in care are noticed and provides
trending and bench marking results of current ICU performance
(2005).
Since 2003 Dr. Talsma is the clinical and research
consultant to the Michigan Health & Safety Coalition
(MH&SC)(www.mihealthandsafety.org). The MH&SC
is a coalition of employers, insurers, State of Michigan
representatives, consumers, unions, hospital and professional
associations. The MH&SC's activities include the
annual hospital survey that focuses on volumes of high-risk
procedures and includes clinical activities known to
improve outcomes. Dr. Talsma analyzes and presents the
hospital data for the Coalition. As part of the Michigan
State Commission on Patient Safety, Dr. Talsma provided
analytical support and prepared a number of recommendations
for safer care in Michigan. The report will be presented
to Governor Granholm early 2006.
