This is an introduction to the patient monitoring technologies that
are used in today's acute care environments, including the
operating room, recovery room, emergency department, intensive care
unit, and telemetry floor. To a significant extent, day-to-day
medical decision-making relies on the information provided by these
technologies, yet how they actually work is not always addressed
during education and training. The editors and contributors are
world-renowned experts who specialize in developing, refining, and
testing the technology that makes modern-day clinical monitoring
possible. Their aim in creating the book is to bridge the gap
between clinical training and clinical practice with an easy to use
and up-to-date guide. * How monitoring works in a variety of acute
care settings * For any healthcare professional working in an acute
care environment * How to apply theoretical knowledge to real
patient situations * Hemodynamic, respiratory, neuro-, metabolic,
and other forms of monitoring * Information technologies in the
acute care setting * New and future technologies
Increasingly, physicians are leveraging their medical training and
expertise to pursue careers in non-traditional arenas. Their goals
are diverse: * Explore consulting as a way to improve patient care
* Lay the foundation for a career in academic medicine * Provide
leadership in healthcare * Strengthen ties between a clinic and the
community * Broaden one's experience as a medical student * As a
journalist or writer, open a window onto medicine for non-experts
Some physicians will pursue another degree, while others may not,
in anticipation of moving into public service, business, education,
law, or organized medicine. Their common ground is the desire to
enhance their professional fulfillment. Drs. Urman and Ehrenfeld's
book features individual chapters on the wide array of
non-traditional careers for physicians, each one written by an
outstanding leader in medicine who him- or herself has successfully
forged a unique career path. A final chapter brings together
fascinating brief profiles - "case studies" - of physicians who
have distinguished themselves professionally outside of traditional
settings. Suitable for readers at any point in their medical career
- practitioners, fellows, residents, and medical students - who
want to explore possibilities beyond traditional medical practice,
the book also sets out common-sense advice on topics such as
work-life balance, mentorship, and the relationship between
personality and job satisfaction.
As part of the American Medical Association (AMA)'s Accelerating
Change in Medical Education Consortium's work, Health Systems
Science (HSS) is establishing itself as the third major branch of a
balanced medical education, alongside basic and clinical sciences.
Health Systems Science Review is a first-of-its-kind review book
designed to prepare future physicians and other health care
professionals to function effectively within health systems by
better understanding how health care is delivered, how health care
professionals work together to deliver that care, and how the
health system can improve patient care and health care delivery.
