Download or read book The Annual consumer s guide to health medicine on the Internet written by James B. Davis (ed) and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an annual listing of over 3,000 consumer-centered healthcare Web sites. As it is assumed that the reader already holds a functional knowledge of the Internet, site entries simply include an address and, in most cases, a brief description of site content. The editor's mission is to provide a search-efficient pathfinder to numerous healthcare sites. While other works have comparable aims, this seems to be the most comprehensive compilation of healthcare sites available. This fact, buttressed by ease of use, seems to ensure the editor's objective is met. Although this book is expressly geared to the layperson, one may also assume it has considerable relevance to various other actors in the healthcare field, including physicians, allied health specialists, nurses, and information professionals. The book is categorized, alphabetically, by subject area. Between a good recognition of what terms are most familiar to users, and a sound method of organization, the book is built well for efficiency. Moreover, a number of helpful Web site pictures are included. As for shortcomings, one must consider the curious omission of any discussion about the methodology for choosing sites. There is also no mention of non-English or bilingual healthcare sites. This good book is comprehensive, well organized, and would seem quite helpful to the inquisitive healthcare consumer. Notably, what the book loses in depth, it gains in reach. While other works such as Linden's Dr. Tom Linden's Guide to Online Medicine (McGraw-Hill, 1995) or Wood's Health Care Resources on the Internet: A Guide for Librarians and Health Care Consumers (The Haworth Press, 2000), provide greater depth on certain sites or types of sites, Davis' treatment of specific pages is, by design, cursory. In short, the editor does well with what he intends to do. Considering the nature of the Internet, the updating of this work is vital and intended by the editor to occur annually. -James R. Scott (Dowdy Review Services).

Download or read book Respectable Deviance and Purchasing Medicine Online written by Lisa Sugiura and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a unique interdisciplinary exploration of the contemporary phenomenon of online medicine purchasing. In this research, Sugiura provides a criminological understanding of the sale of online medicines as well as the traditional illegal markets. Crucially, the practice is investigated from the perspective of web users, moving beyond the headlines and warning campaigns to contextualise the provision of medicines online, to describe this practice and subjective accounts of purchasing medicines from the Web. Drawing together established deviance theories, Respectable Deviance and Purchasing Medicine Online considers the construction of online medicine purchasing, the justifications presented to challenge how it is labelled, and how the behaviour is managed to show how the framing of risks and deviance is challenged online. Offering a much-needed a critical overview of the UK healthcare regulatory system, Sugiura also analyses literature, data and policy documents originating from different countries highlighting that the geographical locations of participants in web forums, online surveys and non-face-to-face interviews cannot always be verified. With broad implications for regulation and safety surrounding medicines online, this innovative and timely study contributes to current online healthcare debates and broadens our understanding of cybercrime. It will be of particular interest to scholars of cybercrime and those interested in the changing nature of deviance.
Download or read book Health Professions Education written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.
