Opening My Heart
by Tilda ShalofTilda Shalof had been taking care of critically ill patients in an intensive care unit for more than twenty-five years, but taking care of herself had never been a priority. That is, until she could no longer ignore her extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, and crushing chest pains. When the results came in, it was time to face the music: Tilda required immediate open-heart surgery to replace a defective valve and to repair damage done to this vital organ. Tilda's story takes readers from the diagnosis through all her fears and concerns, the or, her stay in the icu, the cardiac ward, recovery at home, rehabilitation, and ultimately, her return to work in the hospital armed with new insights on the patient's perspective. She learned more in her week-long stay as a patient than in all her years caring for the critically ill, especially about trust and working in partnership with her caregivers. In Opening My Heart, Shalof expertly weaves recollections from her career and accounts of other nurses' experiences into her own story, creating the perfect marriage between fascinating clinical detail and a personal journey of healing. Throughout it all is Shalof's warm, friendly voice and humorous outlook. Nurses everywhere and anyone who's ever been a hospital patient, or who is currently hospitalized or who might be one day (and those who love them!), will be empowered, enlightened, comforted, and entertained by this book.From the Hardcover edition.

Opening up the Debate on the Aging Society: Preliminary Hypotheses for a Possible Mutational and Post-mutationary Society (International Perspectives on Aging #34)
by Alejandro KleinThis book documents, verifies and brings to life the issues and debates that are created around the aging society. It carefully offers a series of opinions that attempt to illuminate the fact that the aging society goes beyond aging and includes a series of changes in terms of family, social ties, relationships, and the way human beings perceive society. The book contributes substantially to the discussion of this new type of aging, the new types of families, and the new types of relationships, as well as in the application of cutting-edge analytical strategies to understand the trends and patterns of these new modes of social structures. The book includes detailed perspectives on how decisions need to be made, mindsets need to be changed, and precautions need to be taken to positively deal with these new realities. The evidence presented in this book suggests that if this does not happen, the danger of thanato-politics appears, which, denying reality, will lead humanity into difficult labyrinths, perhaps without any "Ariadne's thread" that will allow a glimpse of the way out. The translation from Spanish to English was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

Operation Crisis: Surgical Care in the Developing World during Conflict and Disaster (Operation Health)
by Adam L. Kushner, MD, MPH, FACSHow can medical workers provide effective surgical care in the midst of war or natural disaster?Surgical care is increasingly recognized as a critical component of global health, and strong surgical skills, teamwork, and poise under pressure become even more imperative during conflict or disaster. When faced with hospital bombings or devastating earthquakes, healthcare personnel must develop special techniques and abilities to ably care for patients despite limited resources and a disrupted health system. In Operation Crisis, Dr. Adam L. Kushner brings together 22 medical experts from around the world to recount their experiences in the field when disaster struck. These candid firsthand accounts from both local and international aid surgeons provide clinicians and public health practitioners with insightful lessons for effectively treating surgical patients under the most grueling of circumstances.Moving from conflict settings that include war zones in Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, and South Sudan, Operation Crisis also touches on post-earthquake Haiti and Nepal and post-tsunami Indonesia. Individual themed chapters cover mass casualty training, burn care, obstetric care, sexual violence, and landmine injuries. Combining personal stories with lessons learned and possible interventions, these vivid and affecting essays detail the immediate aftermath of conflict and disaster while pointing the way to improving care for future victims of crisis.Intended to spark further discussion and function as an advocacy tool while highlighting situations where surgical care can save lives and reduce disability, this book is a valuable resource for medical professionals, students, policy makers, international aid organizations, and philanthropic donors.Contributors: Kapendra Shekhar Amatya, Samer Attar, Jeffrey A.

Operation Health: Surgical Care in the Developing World (Operation Health)
by Adam L. Kushner, MD, MPH, FACSBasic surgery is a crucial part of public health prevention.A teenage mother arrives by donkey cart to a hospital after attempting to deliver her baby in the bush. A young father faces the loss of a leg after receiving a gunshot wound that will not heal. A man walks miles to a hospital for a pain in his side caused by an appendix that burst five days earlier. Without access to surgical resources, millions of people with conditions like these become disabled or die. In Operation Health, Adam L. Kushner argues that not only are severe medical conditions— like a strangulated hernia or obstetric fistula—treatable by surgical means in low-income countries; they are, in fact, surgically preventable. Although the World Bank estimates that 11 percent of the global disease burden is treatable by surgery, more than a quarter of the world's population lacks access to straightforward and life-saving surgical procedures.Operation Health makes a strong and compelling justification for adding surgical care to the global health agenda by providing an overview of dangerous but repairable medical conditions common in developing countries. Every chapter opens with a vignette by Kushner which tells the remarkable story of the patients and situations he encountered in the field. Carefully crafted case studies demonstrate the power of surgery to heal people suffering from potentially debilitating conditions, including clubfoot, obstructed labor, and broken bones.The chapters—written by world-renowned surgical experts—cover related medical topics such as epidemiology, women's health, cancer, and trauma in locations from Sierra Leone to Nepal, Ghana, Mongolia, and elsewhere. This detailed and compassionate book will be of great interest to medical professionals, students, public health policy makers, philanthropic donors, and those with a general interest in global health.
Operation am offenen System: Wie zwei Hausärzte ein krankes Gesundheitssystem retten wollen
by Laura Dalhaus Heinz GiesenDieses Buch zeigt, wie die medizinische Versorgung in einem scheinbar unreformierbaren System neu gestaltet werden kann. Denn unser Gesundheitssystem hat längst diejenigen aus dem Blick verloren, die eigentlich im Mittelpunkt aller Bemühungen stehen: die Patientinnen und Patienten. Immer längere Wartezeiten auf Diagnostik und Therapie, bürokratische Hürden und eine intransparente Finanzierung medizinischer Leistungen belasten die Versorgung. Für viele Betroffene hat dies weitreichende Folgen: Krankheit wird zum Risiko für Arbeitslosigkeit, sozialen Abstieg und Armut. 2023 veröffentlichte Dr. Laura Dalhaus ihr Buch „Medizin zwischen Moral und Moneten“ über die Realitäten der Patientenversorgung. In ihrem neuen Werk entwickelt sie gemeinsam mit Dr. Dr. Heinz Giesen daraus ein Konzept, das die Kostenfokussierung ablöst und den Patientennutzen in den Mittelpunkt stellt: die Sicherstellungsbörse. Indem dringende Untersuchungen und Behandlungen gezielt priorisiert und gesondert vergütet werden, bieten die Autoren innovative Lösungen, um den Widerspruch zwischen „Moral und Moneten“ in unserem Gesundheitssystem aufzulösen. Höchste Zeit für den Eingriff am offenen System! Dieses Buch ist ein dringender Weckruf und liefert Lösungen für Politik, Krankenkassen, Arbeitgeber und Patienten, um in Zukunft wieder eine flächendeckende, gerechte und nachhaltige medizinische Versorgung zu gewährleisten. „Als Präsident der Ärztekammer Westfalen-Lippe sehe ich es als unsere gemeinsame Pflicht an, diese vorgeschlagenen Lösungsansätze nicht nur zu diskutieren, sondern aktiv in die Praxis umzusetzen.“ Dr. med. Johannes Albert Gehle

Operational Research Approaches (Elements of Improving Quality and Safety in Healthcare)
by Martin Utley Sonya Crowe Christina PagelOperational research is a collection of modelling techniques used to structure, analyse, and solve problems related to the design and operation of complex human systems. While many argue that operational research should play a key role in improving healthcare services, staff may be largely unaware of its potential applications. This Element explores operational research's wartime origins and introduce several approaches that operational researchers use to help healthcare organisations: address well-defined decision problems; account for multiple stakeholder perspectives; and describe how system performance may be impacted by changing the configuration or operation of services. The authors draw on examples that illustrate the valuable perspective that operational research brings to improvement initiatives and the challenges of implementing and scaling operational research solutions. They discuss how operational researchers are working to surmount these problems and suggest further research to help operational researchers have greater beneficial impact in healthcare improvement. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Operations Management for Healthcare
by Jan Vissers Sylvia Elkhuizen Nathan ProudloveThis fully updated edition of the bestselling textbook on Health Service Operations Management provides an invaluable reference for students and researchers in the fields of healthcare management, operations management and patient flow logistics. Featuring theoretical frameworks and a comprehensive set of practical case studies, this book also covers subjects such as hospital planning and supply chain management in healthcare, quality assurance and performance management. Healthcare managers work together with healthcare professionals in a multitude of challenging scenarios. Trade-offs have to be made between waiting times for customers and efficient use of scarce resources, between quality of care and quality of services, between the perspective of a single pathway and the total system, and between the perspective of a single provider and that of a network of providers working together in the chain of primary care, hospitals, nursing homes and home care. This book guides healthcare students and professionals through a set of practical tools and resources, ranging from simple queueing models to more complicated analytical models, to help address these issues. The book can be used at an undergraduate level by introducing concepts, definitions and approaches, and at a postgraduate level through the application of approaches to operations management problems in healthcare practice. It will serve as a primary textbook for a health service operations management course module in a Master's program on healthcare management.

Operations Research and Health Care Policy
by Gregory S. ZaricOperations research tools are ideally suited to providing solutions and insights for the many problems health policy-maker's face. Indeed, a growing body of literature on health policy analysis, based on operations research methods, has emerged to address the problems mentioned above and several others. The research in this field is often multi-disciplinary, being conducted by teams that include not only operations researchers but also clinicians, economists and policy analysts. The research is also often very applied, focusing on a specific question driven by a decision-maker and many times yielding a tool to assist in future decisions. The goal of this volume was to bring together a group of papers by leading experts that could showcase the current state of the field of operations research applied to health-care policy. There are 18 chapters that illustrate the breadth of this field. The chapters use a variety of techniques, including classical operations research tools, such as optimization, queuing theory, and discrete event simulation, as well as statistics, epidemic models and decision-analytic models. The book spans the field and includes work that ranges from highly conceptual to highly applied. An example of the former is the chapter by Kimmel and Schackman on building policy models, and an example of the latter is the chapter by Coyle and colleagues on developing a Markov model for use by an organization in Ontario that makes recommendations about the funding of new drugs. The book also includes a mix of review chapters, such as the chapter by Hutton on public health response to influenza outbreaks, and original research, such as the paper by Blake and colleagues analyzing a decision by Canadian Blood Services to consolidate services. This volume could provide an excellent introduction to the field of operations research applied to health-care policy, and it could also serve as an introduction to new areas for researchers already familiar with the topic. The book is divided into six sections. The first section contains two chapters that describe several different applications of operations research in health policy and provide an excellent overview of the field. Sections 2 to 4 present policy models in three focused areas. Section 5 contains two chapters on conceptualizing and building policy models. The book concludes in Section 6 with two chapters describing work that was done with policy-makers and presenting insights gained from working directly with policy-makers.
