Download or read book The Patient Organization written by Walt Brown and published by Forbesbooks. This book was released on 2018 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Patient Organization: 7 Keys for making systems like Traction, EOS, Scaling Up, 4DX...work. Why do Traction, EOS(R), and Scaling Up work? The Patient Organization is a companion book to be used alongside today's popular Organizational Operating Systems (OOS), to explain what's under the hood, why they work, why they don't work and what you can do about it. If your OOS implementation feels mechanical, or like there is just something missing and you can not seem to put your finger on it, then you're ready for the TPO message and approach. Are you running your company on an Organizational Operating System (OOS) like Traction, EOS(R), the Entrepreneurial Operating System(R), Rockefeller Habits, Scaling Up, Gazelles, 4DX, Holocracy, or The Advantage? If you are using one of these systems, or if you have developed your own internal system, The Patient Organization is a must-read, as it unlocks the underlying reasons why the tools in your OOS are working, or not working. It is your Rosetta Stone for getting everything out of your system that you can. "An organization is essentially a human fiction, only given meaning and power by those who believe in it." -- Walt Brown, Author The reason a solid OOS works is that it helps drive and maintain an organization's common set of beliefs. There are seven areas humans need to align with at work in order to share in an organization's common belief. The more alignment and shared belief, the stronger your organization. "Folks have to know they belong, they must believe in the mission, the plan, the leaders, the product, they need to understand embrace and believe in what they are accountable for as it aligns to the mission, they need to believe in how they are measured, how they are heard, how they are developed and how they maintain balance. They need to understand what believing means, and a good OOS helps them maintain that belief." Seven Areas: Belong, Believe, Accountable, Measured, Heard, Developed, Balanced. The Patient Organization dives into the psychology and neurology behind the seven questions and then anchors the theory in your OOS with what Brown calls real world "Heavy Lifts"--exercises you can do with your team to test the strength of your OOS and advance the progress you have made in leveraging all your OOS can deliver. What is in it for you? You will know how you will attract, engage, empower, and retain the worker of the future―our fresh workforce, millennials. You will know how you are going to dominate your competitors before, during, and after the next economic opportunity, i.e. a downturn. You will know how you will address the scourge of instant competitor imitation. You will know how strong your organization is. You will know how to measure the strength of the culture in your organization. You will really know if you are a "Best Place to Work" organization. With the 7 keys inside TPO you will unlock and harvest the true potential of your organization's investment into an OOS.
Download or read book The Patient Centered Value System written by Anthony M. DiGioia and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine: You are a hospital Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, medical or nursing director, patient safety specialist, quality improvement professional, or a doctor or nurse on the front lines of patient care. Every day you’re aware that patients and families should be more engaged in their care so they would fare better both in the hospital and after discharge; their care could be safer and more seamlessly coordinated; patients should be ready for discharge sooner and readmitted less often; your bottom line stronger; your staff more fulfilled. You enter into new payment models such as bundling with an uneasy awareness that your organization is at risk because you don’t know what the care you deliver actually costs. Like most healthcare leaders, you are also still searching for a way to deliver care that will help you to achieve the Triple Aim: care that leads to improved clinical outcomes, better patient and family care experiences, and reduced costs. Sound familiar? If so, then it’s time to read The Patient Centered Value System: Transforming Healthcare through Co-Design. This book explains how to introduce the Patient Centered Value System in your organization to go from the current state to the ideal. The Patient Centered Value System is a three-part approach to co-designing improvements in healthcare delivery—collaborating with patients, families, and frontline providers to design the ideal state of care after listening to their wants and needs. Central to the Patient Centered Value System is seeing every care experience through the eyes of patients and families. The Patient Centered Value System is a process and performance improvement technique that consists of 1) Shadowing, 2) the Patient and Family Centered Care Methodology, and 3) Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing. Shadowing is the essential tool in the Patient Centered Value System that helps you to see every care experience from the point of view of patients and families and enables you to calculate the true costs of healthcare over the full cycle of care. Fundamental to the Patient Centered Value System is the building of teams to take you from the currents state of care delivery to the ideal. Healthcare transformation depends not on individual providers working to fix broken systems, but on teams of providers working together while breaking down silos. The results of using the Patient Centered Value System are patients and families who are actively engaged in their care, which also improves their outcomes; providers who see the care experience from the patient’s and family’s point of view and co-design care delivery as a result; the tight integration of clinical and financial performance; and the realization of the Triple Aim.

Download or read book Why We Revolt written by Victor Montori and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mayo Clinic physician and founder of The Patient Revolution offers a “thoroughly convincing. . . call to action for medical industry reform” (Kirkus). Winner of the 2018 PenCraft Award for Literary Excellence, Why We Revolt exposes the corruption and negligence that are endemic in America’s healthcare system—and offers a blueprint for revolutionizing patient care across the country. Through a series of essays and first-hand accounts, Dr. Victor M. Montori demonstrates how the system has been increasingly exploited and industrialized, putting profit before patients. As costs soar, the United States continues to fall behind other countries on patient outcomes. Offering concrete, direct actions we can take to bring positive change to the healthcare system, Why We Revolt is an inspiring call-to-action for physicians, policymakers, and patients alike. Dr. Montori shows how we can work together to create a system that offers tailored healthcare in a kind and careful way. All proceeds from Why We Revolt go directly to Patient Revolution, a non-profit organization founded by Dr. Montori that empowers patients, caregivers, community advocates, and clinicians to rebuild our healthcare system.
Download or read book The Patient Will See You Now written by Eric Topol and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential guide by one of America's leading doctors to how digital technology enables all of us to take charge of our health A trip to the doctor is almost a guarantee of misery. You'll make an appointment months in advance. You'll probably wait for several hours until you hear "the doctor will see you now"-but only for fifteen minutes! Then you'll wait even longer for lab tests, the results of which you'll likely never see, unless they indicate further (and more invasive) tests, most of which will probably prove unnecessary (much like physicals themselves). And your bill will be astronomical. In The Patient Will See You Now, Eric Topol, one of the nation's top physicians, shows why medicine does not have to be that way. Instead, you could use your smartphone to get rapid test results from one drop of blood, monitor your vital signs both day and night, and use an artificially intelligent algorithm to receive a diagnosis without having to see a doctor, all at a small fraction of the cost imposed by our modern healthcare system. The change is powered by what Topol calls medicine's "Gutenberg moment." Much as the printing press took learning out of the hands of a priestly class, the mobile internet is doing the same for medicine, giving us unprecedented control over our healthcare. With smartphones in hand, we are no longer beholden to an impersonal and paternalistic system in which "doctor knows best." Medicine has been digitized, Topol argues; now it will be democratized. Computers will replace physicians for many diagnostic tasks, citizen science will give rise to citizen medicine, and enormous data sets will give us new means to attack conditions that have long been incurable. Massive, open, online medicine, where diagnostics are done by Facebook-like comparisons of medical profiles, will enable real-time, real-world research on massive populations. There's no doubt the path forward will be complicated: the medical establishment will resist these changes, and digitized medicine inevitably raises serious issues surrounding privacy. Nevertheless, the result-better, cheaper, and more human health care-will be worth it. Provocative and engrossing, The Patient Will See You Now is essential reading for anyone who thinks they deserve better health care. That is, for all of us.

Download or read book Managing Patients Organizations to Improve Healthcare Emerging Research and Opportunities written by Costanza, Francesca and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decades, the importance of performance management in healthcare organizations has progressively increased. Patient organizations can play a strategic role by providing peer support and education, filling service provision gaps within public healthcare. As experts of their own pathologies, organized patients can aid research and development projects and provide the policymakers with input from the patients’ perspectives. Despite these advantages, patient organizations still face criticalities including low political attention at a national and peripheral level, scarce management skills, planning, control, fundraising, and professionalism. Managing Patients' Organizations to Improve Healthcare: Emerging Research and Opportunities delivers emerging research that raises awareness about the contribution of patient organizations in the healthcare process within regulatory authorities, public, and healthcare managers and improves patients’ managerial and healthcare professional skills for more efficient and effective processes of care. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as organizational management, patient value, and quality healthcare, this book is ideally designed for policymakers, healthcare administrators, medical practitioners, researchers, academicians, students, and industry professionals seeking current research on public policy management and healthcare management.

Download or read book The Patient as Victim and Vector Ethics and Infectious Disease written by Margaret P Battin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-31 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioethics emerged at a time when infectious diseases were not a major concern. Thus bioethics never had to develop a normative framework sensitive to situations of disease transmission. The Patient as Victim and Vector explores how traditional and new issues in clinical medicine, research, public health, and health policy might look different in infectious disease were treated as central. The authors argue that both practice and policy must recognize that a patient with a communicable infectious disease is not only a victim of that disease, but also a potential vector- someone who may transmit an illness that will sicken or kill others. Bioethics has failed to see one part of this duality, they document, and public health the other: that the patient is both victim and vector at one and the same time. The Patient as Victim and Vector is jointly written by four authors at the University of Utah with expertise in bioethics, health law, and both clinical practice and public health policy concerning infectious disease. Part I shows how the patient-centered ethic that was developed by bioethics- especially the concept of autonomy- needs to change in the context of public health, and Part II develops a normative theory for doing so. Part III examines traditional and new issues involving infectious disease: the ethics of quarantine and isolation, research, disease screening, rapid testing, antibiotic use, and immunization, in contexts like multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis, syphilis, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, and HPV. Part IV, beginning with a controversial thought experiment, considers constraint in the control of infectious disease, include pandemics, and Part V 'thinks big' about the global scope of infectious disease and efforts to prevent, treat, or eradicate it. This volume should have a major impact in the fields of bioethics and public health ethics. It will also interest philosophers, lawyers, health law experts, physicians, and policy makers, as well as those concerned with global health.

The book will cover how to adjust therapeutic skills to patients’ needs, models of care and the particular technology used. It shows how rudimentary design of workflow can assist in integrating care, and highlights the importance of allowing for cultural needs (both rural geography and ethnic/race). Administrative issues are also addressed (e.g., privacy, reimbursement). The chapters are short and designed for maximum practicality, including learning objectives, cases and summaries emphasizing “what to do and how to do it.”
