Medical Informatics: An Executive Primer is the follow-up to the award-winning first edition. Published in 2007, the first edition examined how information technologies applied in hospitals settings, at the physician's office and in patients' homes were transforming healthcare delivery. This updated edition examines the advances that have taken place in the past four years, as healthcare providers increasingly utilize health IT, including ambulatory electronic health records, clinical decision support, personal health records, identity management, and health information exchange to care for patients and improve quality and patient safety. New to this second edition are chapters focused on how federal legislation--namely, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act--is providing financial incentives for healthcare providers that demonstrate the meaningful use of health IT. The second edition also features a physician sharing how IT enables the patient-centered medical home in his practice and several case studies, including lessons learned on how health IT is transforming healthcare at a rural health network, a small primary care practice, a fully integrated healthcare system with 2,000-plus affiliated physicians, and two hospitals that have achieved Stage 7 on the HIMSS Analytics EMR Adoption Model. 2011.

The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.

With sections dedicated to postacute care settings, operations, leadership and management, this textbook covers information pertinent to the spectrum of senior living service lines – from inpatient rehab facilities, long-term acute care hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living, and residential care communities to home- and community-based services. It is a practical reference for both undergraduate and graduate students preparing to enter the field of long-term care administration and leadership, as well as for professionals transitioning to another line of postacute service. The textbook begins with a thorough history of the field, including the development of senior services in the United States. Section I then describes the components of customer care, supports, and services before transitioning into Section II, which addresses operations, including the core practice domains of effectively managing human resources, finances, and the environment. Section III offers a framework for leadership, covering strategic thinking and innovation, marketing and public relations, critical thinking and operation practice, customer service, and personal development. Case problems, discussion questions, leadership roles, high-impact practices, key points, and National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB) domain competencies conclude each chapter.

Racial and ethnic disparities in health care are known to reflect access to care and other issues that arise from differing socioeconomic conditions. There is, however, increasing evidence that even after such differences are accounted for, race and ethnicity remain significant predictors of the quality of health care received. In Unequal Treatment, a panel of experts documents this evidence and explores how persons of color experience the health care environment. The book examines how disparities in treatment may arise in health care systems and looks at aspects of the clinical encounter that may contribute to such disparities. Patients' and providers' attitudes, expectations, and behavior are analyzed. How to intervene? Unequal Treatment offers recommendations for improvements in medical care financing, allocation of care, availability of language translation, community-based care, and other arenas. The committee highlights the potential of cross-cultural education to improve provider-patient communication and offers a detailed look at how to integrate cross-cultural learning within the health professions. The book concludes with recommendations for data collection and research initiatives. Unequal Treatment will be vitally important to health care policymakers, administrators, providers, educators, and students as well as advocates for people of color.
