Proteinaholic: How Our Obsession with Meat Is Killing Us and What We Can Do About It
by Howard Jacobson Garth DavisAn acclaimed surgeon specializing in weight loss delivers a paradigm-shifting examination of the diet and health industry’s focus on protein, explaining why it is detrimental to our health, and can prevent us from losing weight.Whether you are seeing a doctor, nutritionist, or a trainer, all of them advise to eat more protein. Foods, drinks, and supplements are loaded with extra protein. Many people use protein for weight control, to gain or lose pounds, while others believe it gives them more energy and is essential for a longer, healthier life. Now, Dr. Garth Davis, an expert in weight loss asks, “Is all this protein making us healthier?”The answer, he emphatically argues, is NO. Too much protein is actually making us sick, fat, and tired, according to Dr. Davis. If you are getting adequate calories in your diet, there is no such thing as protein deficiency. The healthiest countries in the world eat far less protein than we do and yet we have an entire nation on a protein binge getting sicker by the day.As a surgeon treating obese patients, Dr. Davis was frustrated by the ever-increasing number of sick and overweight patients, but it wasn't until his own health scare that he realized he could do something about it. Combining cutting-edge research, with his hands-on patient experience and his years dedicated to analyzing studies of the world’s longest-lived populations, this explosive, groundbreaking book reveals the truth about the dangers of protein and shares a proven approach to weight loss, health, and longevity.

Proud Flesh: A Memoir of Motherhood, Intimate Violence, and Reclaiming Pleasure
by Catherine Simone GrayA searing portrait of a mother&’s body—a resurrection and reclamation of pleasure after abuse, a study of intergenerational trauma, and a love letter to the bodies of women: as alive and unbound as the teeming Mississippi wilds that bear witnessFour months postpartum with her second child, Catherine Simone Gray is back at her doctor&’s office, surveying a childbirth wound that refuses to mend. Proud flesh: tissue that overheals to become its own wound. Pregnancy and motherhood had been physically vulnerable for Gray, but this renders her most intimate parts unrecognizable—like her body is no longer her own. Has it ever been her own?As she gets to know her body in its new form, she encounters, too, the girl she&’d been at seventeen. It was summertime in Mississippi—wild, pulsing with life—when a man coerced her into an abusive relationship that would dominate her life for four years.Told in parallel timelines, Proud Flesh grapples with the legacy of intimate partner violence in motherhood. With luminous prose and breathtaking viscerality, Gray makes legible the ways that abuse can imprint on our body and seethe undetected for years. She lays bare unspoken truths: that violence remaps how we connect with and care for our children. That the pains of our mothers—and our mothers&’ mothers—endure, and can prowl the edges of our stories too. That even amid pain, our bodies can teach us new truths about our capacity to heal and experience pleasure.Proud Flesh rewrites the body of the mother beyond the borders—bold, defiant, and heart-stoppingly true, it&’s an unputdownable memoir and a force of nature.

Provider-Led Population Health Management: Key Healthcare Strategies in the Cognitive Era
by Karen Ezekiel Handmaker Richard Hodach Michael Weiner Anil Jain Paul GrundyProvider-Led Population Health Management draws connections among the new care-delivery models, the components of population health management, and the types of health IT that are required to support those components. The key concept that ties all of this together is that PHM requires a high degree of automation to reach everyone in a population, engage those patients in self-care, and maximize the chance that they will receive the proper preventive, chronic, and acute care. In the course of explaining how to do this, we describe how health-care organizations are transforming themselves to manage population health and prepare for value-based reimbursement. The ACO, PCMH, and CIN models are discussed, and the advent of bundled payments will also have a major impact on hospital and post-acute care. But at its core, the transition to accountable care centers on care teams that take responsibility for managing and coordinating the services provided to individual patients. These care teams must also engage patients in caring for themselves and improving their health behavior. As care teams become more sophisticated, many of them will use Lean thinking to continuously improve their own work processes. The book is laid out in three sections that progress from the general to the particular aspects of population health management. Section 1, entitled "New Delivery Models," first explains what PHM is and why it''''s important. Ensuing chapters cover ACOs and patient-centered medical homes, which are the favored vehicles for PHM. Section 2, "How to Get There," discusses some fundamentals of the new delivery models, starting with the impact of Meaningful Use on the IT infrastructure that provider organizations must build to operationalize PHM. Other chapters in this section address clinical integration, predictive-modeling applications, and the return on investment in IT solutions that help organizations take advantage of value-based payments. Section 3, "Implementing Change," describes how organizations can use health IT to manage population health. This begins with the basics of care coordination and moves on to advanced methods of care management that utilize Lean thinking. Following a chapter on overall methods of patient engagement, we finish up with a discussion of post-discharge automation, which is another way to involve patients in their own care. Finally, in a brief concluding chapter, we suggest some next steps for organizations heading down the road to population health management. While this book is intended for health-care executives and policy experts, anyone who is interested in health care can learn something from its exploration of the major issues that are stirring health care today. In the end, the momentous changes going on in health care will affect all of us. See what others are saying about Provider-Led Population Health Management: This book is one of the best primers available on the rapidly evolving technologies that help healthcare providers manage population health. The automation of care management through information technology, as the book astutely notes, enables medical homes to execute the manifold tasks of population health management cost effectively and without overburdening care teams. Paul Grundy, MD, MPH - IBM''''s Global Director of Healthcare Transformation President, Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative Dr. Richard Hodach''''s book addresses the most critical elements for providers as they transform themselves to provide population health management. His review of new delivery models, and his discussion of what is needed to deliver population health are right on point. There is even a road map on how to implement the changes necessary to deliver population health. What makes the book most interesting is the way in which Richard draws the connections among the new delivery models, the components of population health management, and the role of health information technology necessary to support population health management. These connections are critically i...
Providing Compassionate Healthcare: Challenges in Policy and Practice
by Sue Shea Robin Wynyard Christos LionisDespite the scope and sophistication of contemporary health care, there is increasing international concern about the perceived lack of compassion in its delivery. Citing evidence that when the basic needs of patients are attended to with kindness and understanding, recovery often takes place at a faster level, patients cope more effectively with the self-management of chronic disorders and can more easily overcome anxiety associated with various disorders, this book looks at how good care can be put back into the process of caring. Beginning with an introduction to the historical values associated with the concept of compassion, the text goes on to provide a bio-psycho-social theoretical framework within which the concept might be further explained. The third part presents thought-provoking case studies and explores the implementation and impact of compassion in a range of healthcare settings. The fourth part investigates the role that organizations and their structures can play in promoting or hindering the provision of compassion. The book concludes by discussing how compassion may be taught and evaluated, and suggesting ways for increasing the attention paid to compassion in health care. Developing a multi-disciplinary theory of compassionate care, and underpinned by empirical examples of good practice, this volume is a valuable resource for all those interesting in understanding and supporting compassion in health care, including advanced students, academics and practitioners within medicine, nursing, psychology, allied health, sociology and philosophy.
Proving Damages to the Jury
by Jim WrenBig damage awards don't just happen. You need a plan for success. Any lawyer who has tried a damages case has experienced the quandary: What damage number do I give the jury? Is it enough? Is it too much? How do I ask for it? How do I support it? To give your clients justice, you need something more than a "hit or miss / hope and go" approach to damages. You need an intelligent damages strategy that encompasses every phase of the litigation and trial. Proving Damages to the Jury gives you that strategy. Relying on a solid foundation of current jury science research and more than 30 years of courtroom experience, author Jim Wren walks you through every step of your damages case, from the initial screening of a potential client to closing argument at trial. These abbreviated excerpts are just a sampling of what you will learn: Before Trial Discovery Develop a discovery plan to support your complete damages story. Take video depositions of your damage fact witnesses. Set up damage issues with requests for admission. Challenge the defense medical expert Visuals Use the seven stages of your damage story as the organizing principle for your visual strategy. Translate your damage story into visuals by working through these ten key questions: Enhance your credibility by making "verifiable proof" a focal point of your visual strategy. At Trial Voir Dire Raise the issue of frivolous lawsuits. Address jurors' reluctance to award damages for unintentional conduct. Plan the sequence of your questions. Opening Statement Focus on choices, rather than results, in presenting damages. Start with the question for the jury. Help jurors understand the significance of their role. Cross-Examination Understand what makes cross examination powerful. Use "you can understand" questions to validate the consequences of the plaintiff's injury. Encourage juror anger as a motivator for damages. Closing Argument Provide guidance for intangible damages. Help jurors make a significant difference.
