With no appointments available to see Dr. Be Well until late next day, Ms Runouta Patience decides it's off to QuickFix retail medical clinic to get feeling well again. After being treated with decongestants and an antibiotic, a week later she arrives at Dr. Be Well's office for a follow-up visit, where the receptionist hands her a clipboard with endless forms to complete before seeing the doctor. She is also asked if she wishes to join Dr. Be Well's new accountable care organization-an ACO. What? Wasn't she already his patient? Finally after almost getting writer's cramp, she is taken to a room, where in walks Dr. Guess Who, ANP-C, ACNS-BC, DNP. At first, Runouta Patience is disturbed that Dr. Be Well is unavailable. But Dr. Guess Who is kind, professional in her demeanor, extremely thorough, and even tests her understanding of the asthma recommendations that she makes. Leaving the office, Rinaouta Patience writes out a check for her office visit co-payment and upon arriving home downloads an app onto her smartphone that will allow her to send peak airflow rates to her doctor to help manage her asthma. Some weeks later, however, her condition again deteriorates and she must go to the local emergency room, where she receives a breathing treatment and is admitted to hospital. Expecting to see Dr. Be Well, she is again surprised as in comes young Dr. Hyam Here, the hospitalist on duty who will care for her for at least the next forty-eight hours while she is hospitalized. Through simulated patient scenarios such as these, the reader is introduced to many of the milestones that have occurred in healthcare delivery. Problems currently faced are discussed and potential solutions provided. Advance Praise for "Modern Healthcare Delivery..." "Dr. Zema has authored a most comprehensive tome on our U. S. healthcare delivery system. His observations and citations are cogent and wise, well serving all who wish to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of our current challenges and reasonable/responsible solutions going forward. This is a must read for all interested in a complete awareness of our current healthcare dilemma." -Thomas E. Price MD 23rd Cabinet Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) "American medicine is desperately in need of change. This brilliant, coherent, and most readable book is a must read for those seeking solutions, both members of the medical profession and the interested lay public." - Sidney Alexander MD, FACC Chairman Emeritus, Division of Cardiology Lahey Hospital and Medical Center "From the well-chosen book and chapter titles to the researched and documented details, this work is insightful, engaging, balanced, and thought-provoking - an excellent point of departure for those seeking a better understanding of the workings of healthcare and those with interest and influence in healthcare reform." - Holly Gadd, PhD, RN, APRN, FNP-BC Dean & Professor, School of Nursing Southern Adventist University "No other book encompasses such a comprehensive assessment of our healthcare delivery system, providing history, criticism and potential solutions to this, our greatest domestic endeavor - a valuable read for the lay audience, students and advanced clinical professionals alike.

This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many fields such as e-learning, business, and marketing have taken advantage of the potential of gamification, the healthcare domain has just started to exploit this emerging trend, still in an ad-hoc fashion. Despite the huge potential of applying gamification on several topics of healthcare, there are scarce theoretical studies regarding methodologies, techniques, specifications, and frameworks. These applications must be examined further as they can be used to solve major healthcare-related challenges such as care plan maintenance, medication adherence, phobias treatment, or patient education. Handbook of Research on Solving Modern Healthcare Challenges With Gamification aims to share new approaches and methodologies to build e-health solutions using gamification and identifies new trends on this topic from pedagogical strategies to technological approaches. This book serves as a collection of knowledge that builds the theoretical foundations that can be helpful in creating sustainable e-health solutions in the future. While covering topics such as augmented and virtual reality, ethical issues in gamification, e-learning, telehealth services, and digital applications, this book is essential for research scholars, healthcare/computer science teachers and students pursuing healthcare/computer science-related subjects, enterprise developers, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the latest developments and research solving healthcare challenges with modern e-health solutions using gamification.

Book excerpt: Until now, research has given us only a limited understanding of how managers actually make sense of and apply management knowledge; how networks of interaction amongst managers help or hinder processes of knowledge diffusion and the sharing of best practice; and how these processes are all influenced both by the organisations in which managers act and by the professional communities of practice they belong to. Managing Modern Healthcare fills these important gaps in our understanding by drawing upon an in-depth study of management networks and practice in three healthcare organisations in the UK. It draws from the primary research a number of important and grounded lessons about how management networks develop and influence the spread of management knowledge and practice; how management training and development relates to the needs of managers facing challenging conditions; and how those conditions are themselves shaping the nature of management in healthcare. This book reveals how managers in practice are responding to the many contemporary challenges facing healthcare (and the NHS in particular) and how they are able or not to effectively exploit sources of knowledge, learning and best practice through the networks of practice they engage in to improve healthcare delivery and healthcare organisational performance. Managing Modern Healthcare makes a number of important theoretical contributions as well as practical recommendations. The theoretical and empirical contributions the book makes relate to wider work on networks and networking, management knowledge, situated learning/communities of practice, professionalization/professional identity and healthcare management more generally. The practical contribution comes in the form of recommendations for healthcare management practitioners and policy makers that are intended to impact upon and help enhance healthcare management delivery and performance.

This book was released on 2008-09-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the work of the Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine, the 2007 IOM Annual Meeting assessed some of the rapidly occurring changes in health care related to new diagnostic and treatment tools, emerging genetic insights, the developments in information technology, and healthcare costs, and discussed the need for a stronger focus on evidence to ensure that the promise of scientific discovery and technological innovation is efficiently captured to provide the right care for the right patient at the right time. As new discoveries continue to expand the universe of medical interventions, treatments, and methods of care, the need for a more systematic approach to evidence development and application becomes increasingly critical. Without better information about the effectiveness of different treatment options, the resulting uncertainty can lead to the delivery of services that may be unnecessary, unproven, or even harmful. Improving the evidence-base for medicine holds great potential to increase the quality and efficiency of medical care. The Annual Meeting, held on October 8, 2007, brought together many of the nation's leading authorities on various aspects of the issues - both challenges and opportunities - to present their perspectives and engage in discussion with the IOM membership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Culture Cure delivers the essential DNA required to break free of the status quo environment that continues to dominate the American healthcare industry. It begins with the understanding of fundamental organizational core values that lay the foundation for excellence in culture, quality, finance, and governance, known as the trees of transcendence. The Culture Cure is the medicine that can ultimately elevate the standing of the United States' healthcare system ranking among top healthcare systems, no longer trailing behind other developed countries in world. This book provides the reader with nine foundational values that transform a healthcare organization, outfitting it to succeed in the modern environment of high accountability and value-based medicine. Plagued by traditional leadership paradigms, the healthcare industry continues to deliver status quo results. Transformational thinking must dominate by embracing the values that have been vetted over 25 years in healthcare settings that are described in The Culture Cure. Transformational cultures deliver excellence, innovation, and best practices that are not afraid to own, manage, create, and develop high reliable organizations of transcendence. Delivering a systemic and collegial leadership approach to continuous improvement breathes new life into healthcare to address the chronic pain associated with underperformance. With the heated debate over America's healthcare reform and recent crises in our government-run healthcare system, transformation has become imperative. Transformation is never simple, particularly in an industry that has been described by many leadership experts as one of the most complex industries to lead. There is a public call for healthcare leaders to initiate wide-scale transformation from our traditional healthcare culture into one that innovates to meet today's challenges. The availability of evidence-based information mandates industry transformation. But for most leaders the question still remains, how? How do we transition from our traditional environment to create a foundational culture that will proactively sustain the winds of change, and create a high reliable organization? To begin this journey it requires acknowledging the most important asset in any healthcare entity, which is the employees. Developing the best colleagues, the best leaders, and the best culture leads to achieving an environment of sustainable success. The Culture Cure is about placing the oxygen mask on the employees, before securing it on the patient. Employees can not give what they do not have. Quality of care, financial sustainability, and healthcare excellence will follow when employees function in a culture that fosters personal development, positive influence, and a trusting empowerment. Author Pamela M. Tripp, has lived her passion for healthcare excellence over the past 35 years, serving as a healthcare educator, senior leader, and turnaround Chief Executive Officer. Implementing the tenets of The Culture Cure has secured national and international service excellence and quality of care awards and most recently the distinction of being the first federally qualified community health center system in the nation to receive the First Milestone Malcolm Baldrige: Governors Quest for Excellence recognition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The desire to help our elders navigate health issues is clear and universal—how to assure proper care and a good ending is not. Combining adroit storytelling skills with expert advice, The Gift of Caring: Saving Our Parents from the Perils of Modern Healthcare brings the reader into all-too-familiar scenarios facing our aging parents and offers answers to questions we may not know to ask until it’s too late. Author and biologist Marcy Houle shares her personal journey of caring for her father, a surgeon, who developed Alzheimer’s, and later her mother, who succumbed to other medical conditions. Like many children of aging parents, Marcy often felt powerless traveling this sad trajectory—watching them fall through the cracks of a fragmented and confusing healthcare system, where professionals often wrote off their symptoms as “just old age.” Not having the understanding of the changes that come with aging, she was led to believe there was nothing she could do to help. The tragic secret? According to coauthor and geriatrics physician Elizabeth Eckstrom, these symptoms frequently are not “just old age.” Rather, the problem is that the current healthcare delivery model for older people is ill-equipped to provide the comprehensive, person-centered care seniors need. Today, thousands of aging people face unnecessary suffering, hospitalizations, nursing home stays, and even death due to complications that could have been prevented or treated. Even more troubling, many healthcare professionals have had little or no training in the care of older adults. The Gift of Caring reveals these pitfalls and provides families with tools they can use to avoid them. Interspersed with every few chapters of Marcy’s riveting story, Dr. Eckstrom shares professional medical insights, compiled from the latest research, into what Marcy could have done to safeguard her parents. She shows us how to navigate the system, how we can become our loved one’s best advocate, and what we need to know to achieve healthy aging and meaningful, compassionate final years. Honest, at times humorous, and ultimately uplifting, The Gift of Caring sheds new light on aging from twin perspectives: a story of a daughter desperately seeking help for the parents she loves, and a geriatrician who gives us the knowledge we need to insist upon a better way.

Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. When China’s War of Resistance against Japan began in July 1937, it sparked an immediate health crisis throughout China. In the end, China not only survived the war but emerged from the trauma with a more cohesive population. Intimate Communities argues that women who worked as military and civilian nurses, doctors, and midwives during this turbulent period built the national community, one relationship at a time. In a country with a majority illiterate, agricultural population that could not relate to urban elites’ conceptualization of nationalism, these women used their work of healing to create emotional bonds with soldiers and civilians from across the country. These bonds transcended the divides of social class, region, gender, and language.

This book was released on 2011-10-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional East Asian healthcare systems have moved rapidly from the fringes of healthcare systems in the West towards the centre over the past 50 years. This change of status for traditional medicines presents their practitioners with both opportunities and challenges as the focus shifts from one of opposition towards one of integration into biomedically dominated healthcare systems. Integrating East Asian Medicine into Contemporary Healthcare examines the opportunities and challenges of integrating East Asian medicine into Western healthcare systems from an interdisciplinary perspective. Volker Scheid and Hugh MacPherson bring together contributions from acknowledged experts from a number of different disciplines - including clinical researchers, Chinese Medicine practitioners, historians, medical anthropologists, experts in the social studies of science, technology and medicine - to examine and debate the impact of the evidence-based medicine movement on the ongoing modernization of East Asian medicines. The book considers the following questions: •What are the values, goals and ethics implicit within traditional East Asian medical practices? • What claims to effectiveness and safety are made by East Asian medical practices? •What is at stake in subjecting these medical practices to biomedical models of evaluation? • What constitutes best practice? How is it to be defined and measured? • What are the ideologies and politics behind the process of integration of East Asian medical practices into modern health care systems? • What can we learn from a variety of models of integration into contemporary healthcare?

Book excerpt: Improving our nation's healthcare system is a challenge which, because of its scale and complexity, requires a creative approach and input from many different fields of expertise. Lessons from engineering have the potential to improve both the efficiency and quality of healthcare delivery. The fundamental notion of a high-performing healthcare system-one that increasingly is more effective, more efficient, safer, and higher quality-is rooted in continuous improvement principles that medicine shares with engineering. As part of its Learning Health System series of workshops, the Institute of Medicine's Roundtable on Value and Science-Driven Health Care and the National Academy of Engineering, hosted a workshop on lessons from systems and operations engineering that could be applied to health care. Building on previous work done in this area the workshop convened leading engineering practitioners, health professionals, and scholars to explore how the field might learn from and apply systems engineering principles in the design of a learning healthcare system. Engineering a Learning Healthcare System: A Look at the Future: Workshop Summary focuses on current major healthcare system challenges and what the field of engineering has to offer in the redesign of the system toward a learning healthcare system.
