Article Abstract:
Ideal behavioral interventions are focused on specific behaviors that are perceived as harmful to patient care and the organization, not personal characteristics. The manager would see evidence of interactions concerning staff behavior from the reports filed on one individual, and could also correlate additional evidence such as reports from patients, families and physicians, but using evidence to manage behavior is best accomplished by understanding the context.
