This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Annotated List of Puget Sound Fishes So many inquiries have been made in recent years in regard to our native fishes, it was deemed advisable to publish a brief popular survey of our fish fauna for the benefit of those interested in the marine life of. This region. The most recent list of the species of fish found in Puget Sound was published by Professor E. C. Starks of Stanford University in 1911. He enumerates 168 forms of fish' life known to exist in our waters or recorded from contiguous Canadian territory with the presumption that they occur in Puget Sound. Several species have come to light since his paper was published and there is little doubt the number of kinds of fish in this region will be increased to at least 200 in the near future. Many of the species now on record are extremely rare, although this may simply mean we do not know where or how to search for them. In some cases but a single specimen has ever been seen and a number are recorded from a knowledge of less than half a dozen examples. Some are strays from southern waters or have straggled down from Alaska, while others have been swept into Puget Sound by some unusual circumstance from the open ocean where they normally reside. The richness of the Puget Sound fauna is doubtless due to the fact that we have here a meeting place for two great centers of marine evolution. Many species of animals originally developed in Alaska have gradually extended their range till they reached the Sound, while from the other great center off the shores of California a similar migration has occurred in times past. Thus Puget Sound is the southern limit of the distribution of many northern forms, while it is likewise the northern limit of a number of southern species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second in a series of publications from the Institute of Medicine's Quality of Health Care in America project Today's health care providers have more research findings and more technology available to them than ever before. Yet recent reports have raised serious doubts about the quality of health care in America. Crossing the Quality Chasm makes an urgent call for fundamental change to close the quality gap. This book recommends a sweeping redesign of the American health care system and provides overarching principles for specific direction for policymakers, health care leaders, clinicians, regulators, purchasers, and others. In this comprehensive volume the committee offers: A set of performance expectations for the 21st century health care system. A set of 10 new rules to guide patient-clinician relationships. A suggested organizing framework to better align the incentives inherent in payment and accountability with improvements in quality. Key steps to promote evidence-based practice and strengthen clinical information systems. Analyzing health care organizations as complex systems, Crossing the Quality Chasm also documents the causes of the quality gap, identifies current practices that impede quality care, and explores how systems approaches can be used to implement change.
