Patient Safety and Quality


Book Description

"Nurses play a vital role in improving the safety and quality of patient car -- not only in the hospital or ambulatory treatment facility, but also of community-based care and the care performed by family members. Nurses need know what proven techniques and interventions they can use to enhance patient outcomes. To address this need, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), with additional funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has prepared this comprehensive, 1,400-page, handbook for nurses on patient safety and quality -- Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for Nurses. (AHRQ Publication No. 08-0043)." - online AHRQ blurb, http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/nurseshdbk/




Nursing and Computers


Book Description

Intended for nurses who would like to know more about the development of the computerized information systems on which they have become so dependent, Nursing and Computers: An Anthology is a wide-range introduction to the literature of this field. The editors have selected historical and contemporary papers to show both the systems at their inception and examples of how they have evolved. Of interest to both the generalist and the specialist, these articles examine the partnership between nurses and computers in the areas of administration, practice, research, and education.




Total Acuity


Book Description

Total acuity refers to the sharpness of vision. We all carry a storytelling mind that uses stories to make sense of the world. This book explores this innate ability to develop detail-rich visual stories that vividly illustrate the power of visual storytelling - the next generation's marketing approach. The logic is simple: The more meaningful details your story carries, the stronger propensity for your customer to see herself in your story and act on your call-to-action. These short stories will introduce you - the marketer or entrepreneur - to three storytelling channels: (i) A series of ordinary but true stories, (ii) supported with illustrative visuals that demonstrate visual storytelling principles, and (iii) actionable lessons from each story that you could easily apply to your business. I hope you'll often be able to see yourself mirrored in some of these stories with direct benefits to your personal and business worlds.
