csr governance and Departmental Organization a typology of best practices
Corporate Governance, 2016Co-Authors: Irina Lock, Peter SeeleAbstract:Purpose – This paper aims to study the state of the art of corporate social responsibility (CSR) governance and operational structure within the most sustainable companies to arrive at a typology of CSR Organization. Whether companies consider corporate social responsibility (CSR) a strategic management task is mirrored in the department and governance structure of CSR. Design/methodology/approach – By conducting a web content analysis, the authors apply a “best practice” approach to examine the vertical and horizontal Organization of CSR within the “most sustainable companies worldwide” (Robeco SAM, 2013). Findings – The results show that most corporations have in place governance structures for CSR that organize it horizontally in stand-alone departments. Three types of CSR Organization best practice emerged: the single-headed, two-headed and infused types. Practical implications – The paper indicates three different ways that companies can organize CSR internally. The authors discuss the feasibility of...

quality assurance peer review chart rounds in 2011 a survey of academic institutions in the united states
International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics, 2012Co-Authors: Yaacov Richard Lawrence, Michal Whiton, Zvi Symon, Evan Wuthrick, Laura DoyleAbstract:PURPOSE: In light of concerns regarding the quality of radiation treatment delivery, we surveyed the practice of quality assurance peer review chart rounds at American academic institutions. METHODS AND MATERIALS: An anonymous web-based survey was sent to the chief resident of each institution across the United States. RESULTS: The response rate was 80% (57/71). The median amount of time spent per patient was 2.7 minutes (range, 0.6-14.4). The mean attendance by senior physicians and residents was 73% and 93%, respectively. A physicist was consistently present at peer review rounds in 66% of departments. There was a close association between attendance by senior physicians and Departmental Organization: in departments with protected time policies, good attendance was 81% vs. 31% without protected time (p = 0.001), and in departments that documented attendance, attending presence was 69% vs. 29% in departments without documentation (p 75% of institutions, whereas dosimetric details (beams, wedges), isodose coverage, intensity-modulated radiation therapy constraints, and dose-volume histograms were always peer reviewed in 63%, 59%, 42%, and 50% of cases, respectively. Chart rounds led to both minor (defined as a small multileaf collimator change/repeated port film) and major (change to dose prescription or replan with dosimetry) treatment changes. Whereas at the majority of institutions changes were rare (<10% of cases), 39% and 11% of institutions reported that minor and major changes, respectively, were made to more than 10% of cases. CONCLUSION: The implementation of peer review chart rounds seems inconsistent across American academic institutions. Brachytherapy and radiosurgical procedures are rarely reviewed. Attendance by senior physicians is variable, but it improves when scheduling clashes are avoided. The potential effect of a more thorough quality assurance peer review on patient outcomes is not known.

Reexamining Faculty Roles in the Supervision of Pre-Service Teachers: Responding to the Call for Clinically-Rich Teacher Education
DigitalCommons@UMaine, 2020Co-Authors: Capello SarahAbstract:In an effort to integrate university coursework with field-site experiences and bolster pre-service teacher learning, national teacher education Organizations have charged teacher education programs with embedding teacher preparation within clinically-rich experiences. These reforms have resulted in expanded and increasingly complex conceptions of pre-service teacher supervision and the university supervisor, which have affected not only traditional supervisors but all university-based teacher educators. This paper presents a framework that maps the shifting roles of four university-based teacher educators: program administrators, research faculty, teaching faculty, and adjunct faculty due to changing notions of clinically-rich pre-service teacher supervision. This framework demonstrates how faculty roles have become more inclusive of supervisory tasks, more integrated with school-site learning, and faculty are in closer communication with each other regarding pre-service teacher growth. Supporting new faculty roles within clinically-rich supervision requires adequate training for all faculty, appropriate institutional recognition for supervision, and rethinking Departmental Organization and culture
