In Patient-Centric Analytics in Health Care: Driving Value in
Clinical Settings and Psychological Practice, James J. Gillespie
and Gregory J. Privitera introduce a framework that explores the
utility of analytics for managing care that is based on six key
inputs of the health care system: patients, policy makers,
providers, pharmacies, pharmaceuticals, and payers. Understanding
the roles of these 6 P's and the utility of analytics to promote
data-driven decision models can lead to new innovations. These
improvements can enhance quality, increase access, and reduce
costs, and thereby drive value for the most important stakeholders
in health care: the patients. As the accessibility and volume of
data continues to increase, there is a growing desire to utilize
data to guide and optimize decision-making in health care
environments. There is a wealth of data in health care
organizations and much of it is not fully utilized. In today's
climate, these organizations are under increased regulatory and
financial pressures to deliver measurable value, particularly as it
relates to the quality of patient care in clinical and diagnostic
settings. This book includes short contributions from
practitioners, including Laurie Branch, Puneet Chahal, Patrick C.
Cunningham, Star* Cunningham, Matthew Dreckmeier, Joseph P.
Gaspero, Sherri Matis-Mitchell, Gail Mayeaux, Edwin K. Morris,
Plamen Petrov, Steven Press, Andrew J. Privitera, Derek Walton, and
Daniel Yunker.
The Psychological Dieter explores a variety of research topics in
psychology to explain how diet is acquired and why it is so
difficult to change. While many healthier diets on the market will
work, few (if any) will provide long-term solutions to healthier
dieting. This is a key challenge for research psychologists who
study diet and health. Based on scientific research and thinking,
this book is one of the first to explore how psychology can help
explain why shifting diet is so difficult and provides practical
suggestions for what can be done to stop this trend. Professor
Privitera integrates research from the biological to the behavioral
to provide an easy to follow and broad review of these topics. The
Psychological Dieter explores how factors such as metabolism, the
brain, sensation, perception, learning, society, and culture all
influence weight gain, food choice, meal size, and consumption.
Organized into three sections, this book describes how the body
regulates hunger and fullness, why diet change is so difficult
long-term, and how learning can affect almost any sensation and
behavior associated with diet. Rooted in scientific research and
clearly written, this book's engaging style makes topics in
psychology accessible to scientists, health professionals, and
everyday dieters alike.
