Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this book Dr. Vukmir defines both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the emergency department( ED) practice. The Emergency Department(ED) drives the efficiency of the remainder of the hospital, perhaps more than most other medical care unit. It is the 'front door'of hospital and often forms the first impression of the facility. Summary The book begins with an outline of the efficacy, the 'best circumstance' operation, versus effectiveness or 'real world performance'. This is followed by analysis of the efficiency, or 'work product' based on resources utilized and outcome achieved. Through the benchmarking process, he attempts to 'objectify' the care provided by physicians, mid-levels, nurses and ancillary care providers. The more subtle thematic aspects of ED operations and its interface with other hospital departments are also reviewed. The text is subdivided operationally into distinct, yet still integrated working units such as patient intake, registration, testing and data processing, as well as the admission, consultation and discharge processes. Potential solutions are offered to the common issues of ED staffing, quality of care, operational efficiency, performance improvement and risk management issues. The team approach is emphasized to achieve the best patient outcome possible in the ED. Author Rade B.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The ER: A Year In The Life relates both the joy and sadness that can be encountered while caring for patients and families in the emergency department. The book condenses a 16 year practice of emergency and critical care medicine into a single year timeline. Similarities between the caregivers and cared for are revealed in the telling stories within. Summary On any given night you can flip through multiple cable channels, where reality TV shows medical providers involved in every sort of endeavor from treating a gunshot wound in the trauma center to performing an operation. They bring before the viewer those with cancer, those having a baby in the hospital, in birthing suites or assisted by midwife in the home setting. The personal world of all- doctors, nurses, and patients is now regularly the subject of a TV special or web video. In some ways this is good perspective, we joke with the patients telling them that they have the best vantage spot in the busy emergency department. 'We are better than TV,' I joke. We are just like ER. Although, we are not as good looking and we do not make $1 million an episode.' They usually laugh both young and old. They share the commonality of their experience. Sometimes they chuckle and other times they are sad. The secret world of sadness, of death and dying, of lost hope and dreams has been revealed to the world. Often a difficult day is salvaged by least one positive event that restores balance, and so life goes on in the ER. Author Rade B.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We try to learn from every patient, to help them get better and to facilitate understanding of their health and the progression of the disease process impacting both body and spirit. This book allows one to understand the human interface with the diagnostic process. Summary The Emergency Department(ED), or Emergency Room(ER) as it is commonly known, is home to us all- both patients and staff. There are very few constants in this ever-changing world, but the ER is certainly one of them. The patients find a safe haven, a place they can present with all manner of life's ills- physical spiritual or social-always hoping for remedy. However, there is seldom a place where more life- changing events can occur. Some changes are subtle and indistinct, while others are cataclysmic in nature. Either way, patients are assured that they will be truly cared for. The ED staff calls this place home as well. There are no casual participants here; they come and soon will go nowhere else. They are truly a team, blending the proper proportion of caring and expertise. Their goal is to restore patients and families to the best state of health and recovery that can be achieved. Sometimes the decisions have already been made and comfort is what we provide. Both sides are truly changed forever. The work completes the ER trilogy by presenting a synthesis of a quarter century of medical experience. Readers will have the opportunity to practice their deductive skills, make a proper diagnosis and implement the correct treatment approach for each true story. Author Rade B.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The ER is a tough one for all involved- patients, families, nurses and doctors. There are both tragedies and victories found in the most major and minor of life's events. We would hope to bring a moment of clarity into this account of the day-to-day operations, striving to find 'One Good Thing A Day.' This work would be best explored as window into the emergency medicine experience. Summary To most of us, the emergency room(ER) can be a foreboding place, but to the team who works here it's home. At times, it is just like what you see on television-hours of mundane activity interspersed with moments of terror involving life-changing visceral emergencies. It is the never-ending struggle of life and death, and the balance can shift ever so slightly in the day-to-day. But more than that, within the walls, there are the people. The patients, who are in an unknown circumstances without their normal mechanisms for control available to them, are still mostly optimistic and hopeful. The physicians continually strive towards flawless technical excellence, while attempting to maintain a human touch in this interaction. The nurses are caring, kind and perform the proverbial acts of mercy. The ancillary staff- registration, technicians, aides and housekeepers complete the cohesive group that gets the hard jobs done. This is their story. Author Rade B. Vukmir MD,JD is President of Critical Care Medicine Associates, a medical administrative and consulting enterprise founded in 1991.
