Nurses care for patients with higher acuity rates than ever before, and nurses are expected to know more than ever before. The nurses job is not one of crisis management, it is one of crisis prevention. But to prevent a crisis, you must be able to see it coming before it arrives. Clinical signs are the ones they taught in nursing school: vital signs, lung sounds, neuro-vascular checks, etc. These signs are great for recognizing a dilemma because they occur after the bodys compensatory mechanisms have failed to correct the problem. What if we could see the signs that compensation was taking place before the process failed? We can. The actions and events occurring on a cellular level are those that spell wellness or illness in the human body. An understanding of cellular metabolism will help us understand the bodys compensatory mechanisms and see the danger signs before its too late. It is these subclinical signs of impending doom that this book depicts -- how to tell your patients are g

A Table of Contents offers an alphabetical list of tools, techniques, and supporting information. The Lean Healthcare Tool Usage Matrix organizes the Lean tools and concepts relative to three important broad Lean philosophies. The philosophies are: Stabilize - It is critical that excess movement of work and variation of process be removed first. It is difficult to apply Lean when variation exists. Standardize - Once an area or a process has been stabilized, formal standards via work rules, charts, and visual controls must be used to further eliminate variation. Simplify - As an organization stabilizes and standardizes processes, it must level the work loads among staff to ensure effective and efficient service is provided to the patient or other healthcare provider. As you continue with the implementation of Lean initiatives throughout this pocket guide, assess, treat, diagnosis, and prevent will be the overriding themes. The following topics are covered: 5S, Continuous Flow, Cycle Time, Document Tagging, Error Proofing, Goals and Outcomes, Goal Card, Healthcare Case for Lean, Interruptions and Random Arrivals, Just-In-Time,Kaizen Events ,Kanbans for Supplies, Leveling, Measurement Techniques, Paper File System, Physical Layout, Pitch, Predictable Outcome, Problem Solving, Pull Systems, Reporting and Communications, Resistance to Change, Runners, Six Sigma, Standard Work, Takt Time, Value Stream Mapping, Visual Controls, Waste, and Work Load Balancing.

Loving Hannah: Childhood Cancer Treatment from the Other Side of the Bed is a memoir by Carol Glover which chronicles a Nurse Practitioner's experience with her eleven-year-old daughter s childhood cancer. Over a six-week period in the spring of 2002, Hannah, a vibrant, energetic athlete, top of her fifth grade class, and a school leader becomes increasingly tired, loses her appetite and begins to have a series of seemingly unrelated health problems. None of the doctors who see her provide an answer. Finally, at the insistence of the author, further testing is done which reveals a diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The events leading to the diagnosis and the ensuing fight to keep Hannah alive over the next seven months of chemotherapy treatment are told with an insider's view and knowledge of health care. Twenty years of experience as a Nurse Practitioner, hadn't prepared the author for this reversal in roles. The familiar in medicine becomes alien when applied to someone she loves. The author struggles to maintain a balance between being the mother of a critically ill child and her usually role as a health care provider. Her knowledge gives her an advantage in anticipating problems, but knowing so many of the risks increases her fear that her daughter will not survive. Through the difficult months of treatment and complications, there are also many gifts--including the ability to live in the now, an increasing family closeness, and the author's ability to see her professional work in a new light. Hannah's strength, humor, wisdom, and determination to survive are an inspiration. This is an upbeat story of survival will touch anyone who has had a family member afflicted with childhood cancer, knows a community member with cancer, or is a nurse or doctor working with cancer patients.
