Human Reliability And Error In Medical System (9789812383594)

Human reliability and error have become a very important issue in health care, owing to the vast number of associated deaths each year. For example, according to the findings of the Institute of Medicine in 1999, around 100000 Americans die each year because of human error. This makes human error in health care the eighth leading cause of deaths in the US. Moreover, the total annual national cost of the medical errors is estimated at between $17 billion and $37.6 billion.There are very few books on this subject, and none of them covers it at a significant depth.

Der Jesaja Effekt (3867281076)

Eine verblüffende Interpretation der wichtigsten Prophezeiung aus den Schriftrollen vom Toten Meer Gibt es eine vergessene Wissenschaft, wie wir die drohenden Kriege, Krankheiten und Katastrophen transzendieren können? Hat irgendwann in grauer Vorzeit etwas eine Lücke hinterlassen im Verständnis unserer Beziehung zur Welt und zueinander? Zweieinhalbtausend Jahre alte Texte stimmen mit der modernen Wissenschaft überein: Die Antwort auf diese und ähnliche Fragen ist ein entschiedenes "Ja!". Wir beginnen gerade, die Sprache dieser alten Texte zu verstehen. Sie erinnert uns an zwei machtvolle Phänomene, mit deren Hilfe wir auf den Zustand unserer Körper und unserer Welt Einfluss nehmen können: zum einen an die Wissenschaft der Prophetie, die es uns erlaubt, die zukünftigen Auswirkungen von gegenwärtigen Entscheidungen zu sehen; zum anderen an die vergessene, komplexe Praxis des Gebets, durch die wir selbst wählen können, welche der prophezeiten Zukünfte wir erleben werden.

Primary Care (9780865349346)

The Indian Health Service was an unlikely place for Emily Hartzog to land after specialty medical training in New York City, but caring for the quiet, unfathomable Navajo in Shiprock, New Mexico became the focus of her life. She and her husband moved to the Four Corners region, named because it takes in parts of four states-Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico, and, with no farming background, bought a beautiful property on a rough canyon road. Dr. Hartzog's Southern upbringing hadn't prepared her well for herding cattle, delivering sheep, or planting a vineyard in a place of harsh extremes. She set up an old-fashioned practice in the middle of town, as the only obstetrician available in a fifty mile radius, and learned about life from her patients every day. She says, "Although it was a busy life, I was inspired by the Navajo's guiding philosophy to maintain balance. This skill served me well for seventeen years, but then my marriage fell apart and so did I. In my

Feminism, Inc. : Coming of Age in Girl Power Media Culture (9780230119963)

Drawing on extensive research with a diverse group of seventy teen girls, Zaslow offers a critical account of the girl power moment in which feminism and femininity are shrink-wrapped together in one market-friendly package. With a focus on pop-music and television, Zaslow skillfully explores the negotiative processes of teen girls as they make sense of girl power's new cultural narratives of femininity as well as its failure to offer strategies for real social change. Written in highly accessible language, this book charts new territory as it offers a rich account of the ways in which teen girls understand style, sexuality, motherhood, and feminism in girl power media culture, and how their desires, social experiences, and imaginings of the future are shaped in their relationship with a neoliberal girl power discourse.

The Explosive Child [Fifth Edition] : A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible Children (9780062270450)

Almost everyone knows an explosive child, one whose frequent, severe fits of temper leave his or her parents standing helpless in their fear, frustration, and guilt. Most of these parents have tried everything-reasoning, behavior modification, therapy, medication-but to no avail. They wonder if their child is deviant or just plain bad. Dr. Ross Greene, a distinguished clinician and pioneer in this field, has worked with thousands of explosive children, and he has good news: these kids aren't bad, and neither are their parents. Rather, explosive children suffer from a physiological deficiency in frustration tolerance and flexibility. Throughout this compassionate book, Dr. Greene demonstrates why traditional treatments don't work for these kids and offers a new conceptual framework for understanding their behavior, along with new language to describe it. He explains the latest neuroscience findings about the importance of flexibility, and, most important, he shows parents specif
