Extract

Our top and middle management initially received thorough training in group theory and group management techniques for organizational reasons. In daily shift meetings, nurse aides (NAs) learn some of the techniques and approaches, translating part of them to work with patients. From the moment we started to focus on the day-care center patients as a group to be managed every minute, we found that disturbances decreased significantly (based on empiric assessment by staff).
