Download or read book Beyond Please and Thank You written by Richard C. Senelick and published by HealthSouth Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ramps, handicap accessible bathrooms and parking spaces, Braille numbers on elevator panels - thanks to the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, these physical barriers and more have begun to help the disabled lead an independent life. Unfortunately, there are barriers made of beliefs and values that still stand strong. There is no law that prevents someone from acting insensitive. It is time for that to change - and The Disability Awareness Handbook for Families, Co-Workers, and Friends provides the first step. Inside, you'll find important sections on how to act on the job, within the family, out on a date, and in public places to ensure that you - and everyone around you - can have the respect and dignity all deserve. There is also a unique "Disability Awareness Questionnaire" to help you determine your sensitivity barometer and help you become aware of what you might be doing or saying wrong. Within the pages of this important book, you will begin to realize that people with disabilities don't want you to treat them "like" equals. They are equals - and the more we understand and the more we see, the more we will accept this truth completely.

Download or read book Saying Thanks and Beyond written by Ralph Mosgrove and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The words thank you were a common exchange when author Ralph Mosgroves wife, Elsie, became disabled from a fall, breaking her hip and causing a compression fracture at T12 and L1 of the vertebra. Confined to using a four-wheel walker, she experienced the kindness of strangers who stood aside to allow her to enter before them. The Mosgroves took notice of the kindness offered and wondered how one could make thank you more meaningful in response. In Saying Thanks and Beyond, Ralph explores ways to respond to acts of kindness, to go beyond the words, and to find possibilities. He offers ideas to inspire you to become a better person and give someone else that emotional liftlike an elderly person who lost their independence or a soldier who cant open a door for himself because of loss of limb. Mosgrove emboldens you to change your world and give a legacy of yourself to the generation who is watching. I was raised to be polite, to use please and thank you appropriately. Reading Ralph Mosgroves delightful essay on Saying Thanks and Beyond gave me a new perspective on those old automatic responses. Why not offer just a bit more appreciation than is expected? A verbal lagniappea little extra. Try Ralphs formula. The recipient of the words will smile, and you will too! Carol Perry, Author, Witch City Mystery series

Book excerpt: In Beyond Deliverance, Corinne Taylor continues the emotionally riveting and historically intriguing true story begun in her 2012 book, Deliverance from Evil. So beautiful was the sight of Florence in her wedding gown as she walked down the aisle on the arm of her father in the Congregational Church that the thousand guests waiting in hushed conversations gasped in awe. Once an admired debutante in high society of Washington D.C., Florence is humiliated by another collective gasp at scandal just six months after her fashionable wedding was highlighted on the society pages of Washington's newspapers. Florence now attempts to rebuild her life-just at the time when the world is rocked by war and epidemic. If she recalls with wrenching pain the girl she used to be, it is because she knows the idealized romanticism of the time before 1915 can never be restored. Once she idealized, now she questions-her own motives as well as the motives of her suitors who again queue up outside her apartment at the Cairo Hotel with impressive credentials, appealing physical form, and flirtatious flattery. Will she settle for friendship in marriage or will she hold out for the passion she desires? This story is about how Florence regains hope in her future, and the irony of her choice in men.
Download or read book Beyond Heroes written by Kim Barnas and published by ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hospitals have long relied on the heroics of one brilliant nurse or doctor to save the day. Such heroics often result in temporary workarounds and quick fixes that leave not only patients and quality care at risk, but also increase costs. This is the story of an organization breaking that habit. Like a growing number of healthcare organizations around the world, ThedaCare, Inc. has been using lean thinking and the principles of the Toyota Production System to improve quality of care, reduce waste, and become more reliable. But lean thinking was incompatible with ThedaCare’s old top-down, hero-based system of management. Kim Barnas, former SVP of ThedaCare, shows us how she and her team created a management system that is stable and lean, to spur continuous improvement. Beyond Heroes shows the reader, step by step, how ThedaCare teams developed the system, using the stories of its doctors, nurses and administrators to illustrate. The book explores each of the eight essential components of the lean system, from front-line problem solving with the scientific method to daily team huddles and creating standard work for leaders all the way to the top of an organization. Finally, the author introduces four executives from healthcare systems across North America who have implemented ThedaCare’s system and share the lessons they learned along the way. Beyond Heroes is not just a call to action or an argument for a better healthcare system. It is a necessary roadmap through the rocky terrain ahead, one that healthcare leaders can customize to their special needs.
