Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir's second edition which includes a wealth of new material is perfect for managers, directors and any other stakeholder in a leadership or managerial position in adult social care. It contains stories of challenges, explores basic problem-solving skills and provides clear pragmatic advice on handling complex issues with regards to managing Carers, creating a genuinely compassionate environment and providing an efficient service. Most health and social care leadership and management books were written by managers, former managers and anyone else but front line Carers. There are issues facing Carers which rarely get through these 'open-door' policies which most managers are implementing. Important feedback from Carers rarely make it to the boardrooms of executive directors and government agencies where also the Carers have no representation. This memoir reflects the author's years of experience working in the UK adult social care sector. If you need genuine undiluted feedback from frontline care employees, then this would certainly help. From reading this memoir, you would gain lots of ideas that you can implement in your setting. You can stop making any more assumptions about why your care home's atmosphere is devoid of any compassion. This memoir is neither a textbook nor written by an editorial team for your delight but there are lots of very rich, clear and concise contents to keep you interested.

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.

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.

Download or read book Health Care Comes Home written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-06-22 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, health care devices, technologies, and practices are rapidly moving into the home. The factors driving this migration include the costs of health care, the growing numbers of older adults, the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions and diseases and improved survival rates for people with those conditions and diseases, and a wide range of technological innovations. The health care that results varies considerably in its safety, effectiveness, and efficiency, as well as in its quality and cost. Health Care Comes Home reviews the state of current knowledge and practice about many aspects of health care in residential settings and explores the short- and long-term effects of emerging trends and technologies. By evaluating existing systems, the book identifies design problems and imbalances between technological system demands and the capabilities of users. Health Care Comes Home recommends critical steps to improve health care in the home. The book's recommendations cover the regulation of health care technologies, proper training and preparation for people who provide in-home care, and how existing housing can be modified and new accessible housing can be better designed for residential health care. The book also identifies knowledge gaps in the field and how these can be addressed through research and development initiatives. Health Care Comes Home lays the foundation for the integration of human health factors with the design and implementation of home health care devices, technologies, and practices. The book describes ways in which the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and federal housing agencies can collaborate to improve the quality of health care at home. It is also a valuable resource for residential health care providers and caregivers.
