Acute Resuscitation and Crisis Management true By:David Neilipovitz Published on 2005-06-30 by University of Ottawa Press While the management of critically ill patients has traditionally been an undeveloped area of medicine, recent advances in drugs, surgical techniques, and medical equipment now allow patients to survive illnesses and disorders that previously were uniformly fatal. Unfortunately, the knowledge and techniques that are required to do this are not traditionally taught in medical school. Thus, medical errors in this population group are not uncommon and are more likely to have adverse, often fatal, consequences. In 2001, physicians responsible for the care of the critically ill were introduced to a new program providing them with the tools to significantly decrease the number and severity of medical errors: the Acute Critical Events Simulation (ACES) Program, an intensive and highly interactive course on the acute resuscitation of critically ill patients and the managem...

Crisis Management in Acute Care Settings true By:Michael St.Pierre,Gesine Hofinger,Robert Simon Published on 2016-11-02 by Springer This book is unique in providing a comprehensive overview of the human factors issues relevant to patient safety during acute care. By elucidating the principles of human behavior and decision-making in critical situations and identifying frequent sources of human error, it will help healthcare professionals provide safer, more effective treatment when dealing with emergencies characterized by uncertainty, high stakes, time pressure, and stress. The third edition has emerged from an ongoing synergistic relationship between clinicians and behavioral scientists on both sides of the Atlantic to update and enhance each chapter -- blending the strengths of the two professions into a readily accessible text. Among other improvements, readers will find sharper articulation of concepts and significantly more information on the organizational impact on individual ...

Supporting Local Health Care in a Chronic Crisis false By:Program on Forced Migration and Health, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University,National Research Council,Committee on Population,Roundtable on the Demography of Forced Migration Published on 2005-11-23 by National Academies Press Providing medical support to the local population during a chronic crisis is difficult. The crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which is characterized by high excess mortality, ongoing armed violence, mass forced displacement, interference by neighboring countries, resource exploitation, asset stripping, and the virtual absence of the state, has led to great poverty and a dearth of funds for the support of the health system. International nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have stepped in to address the dire humanitarian situation. This study looks at four organizations that support local health care in the eastern DRC: the International Rescue Committee (IRC), Maltese...

The SARS Epidemic true By:John Wong,Yongnian Zheng Published on 2004 by World Scientific In the first half of 2003, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)struck China (including Hong Kong), causing panic and claiming manylives. The unknown nature of SARS at that time also jolted theeconomic growth of China and Hong Kong, disrupted the social life oftheir citizens and created much stress and strain for their politicalsystems and governance. Like other major crises, the management of theSARS crisis provides a good opportunity to examine the strengths andweaknesses of the political systems in China and Hong Kong. From theoutset, scholars at the East Asian Institute (EAI) followed closelythe unfolding of the disease in China, particularly how each of thetwo societies coped with this random external shock. SARS may or maynot recur in the near future, but the episode has offered a glimpseinto the extent of resilience of the two societies, the quality oftheir political leadership, the effe...

Common Core State Standards and the Speech-Language Pathologist true By:Lissa A. Power-deFur Published on 2015-10-01 by Plural Publishing Common Core State Standards and the Speech-Language Pathologist: Standards-Based Intervention for Special Populations is a tool for the analysis of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the development of interventions to meet student-specific needs. The CCSS is an education initiative in the United States that details what K-12 students should understand in English language arts and mathematics by the end of each grade. The initiative seeks to establish consistent education standards across the United States and ensure that graduating students are prepared to enter college or the workforce. As of 2015, forty-three states had adopted the CCSS. With the implementation of the CCSS, it is critical that speech-language pathologists collaborate with educators to enable the success of students with communication disorders as well as English language ...

Practical Health Care Simulations false By:Gary E. Loyd,Carol L. Lake,Ruth B. Greenberg Published on 2004 by Hanley & Belfus Here is the first book to respond to the growing movement towards clinical simulations in health care education. It provides all of the guidance needed to make an informed decision about whether to begin using patient simulators · describes how to develop and operate a simulation center · and discusses how to design educational and assessment simulations that reflect specific educational curricula. Features the expertise of three authorities who have extensive experience in working with the University of Louisville School of Medicine's Dr. John M. and Dorothy Paris Simulation Center-one of the leading medical simulation centers in the world. Explains the value of simulation for a variety of healthcare disciplines and discusses which types of simulations are most relevant for each field. Discusses the resources (space, personnel, equipment) needed to esta...

Advanced Perioperative Crisis Management true By:Matthew D. McEvoy,Cory M. Furse Published on 2017-07-25 by Oxford University Press Advanced Perioperative Crisis Management is a high-yield, clinically-relevant resource for understanding the epidemiology, pathophysiology, assessment, and management of a wide variety of perioperative emergencies. Three introductory chapters review a critical thinking approach to the unstable or pulseless patient, crisis resource management principles to improve team performance and the importance of cognitive aids in adhering to guidelines during perioperative crises. The remaining sections cover six major areas of patient instability: cardiac, pulmonary, neurologic, metabolic/endocrine, and toxin-related disorders, and shock states, as well as specific emergencies for obstetrical and pediatric patients. Each chapter opens with a clinical case, followed by a discussion of the relevant evidence. Case-based learning discussion questions, which can be used...

Crisis Management Leadership in the Operating Room false By:Kenneth Lipshy Published on 2013-12 by Adverse events in medicine are frequently attributed to errors or system safety concerns. While the medical field lags behind the aviation industry, Crew Resource Management (CRM) and Medical Team Training (MTT) are slowly becoming the mainstays. Literature has proven that patient safety measures including this training improve overall patient care. Crises in the Operating Room (O.R.) are typically associated with cognitive error or system problems, but often are the result of unforeseen internal or external problems. Crisis management leadership in the operating room must progress beyond the typical CRM and MTT exercises and accept that use of Checklists work when the threat to the patient and team are fully recognized. Maladaptive behavior control and effective team leadership only occur when the principles utilized in this book are mastered. After reading this book surgical leaders sh...
