Choice - Rest - Environment - Activity - Trust - Interpersonal relationships - Outlook - Nutrition These eight essential components of health meld together to form the blueprint for health we yearn for and the life we are intended to live. Some of the concepts presented in the CREATION Health acronym will seem like common sense-because they are exactly that.

Are physicians a mystery? To many of us, yes. Physicians perform one of the most valuable personal services in the world. They care for our bodies in the most intimate of ways. We place our lives in their hands and trust they have our best interest at heart. But how much do we really know of physicians and their inner world? Relatively little. The environment for practicing medicine has changed dramatically over the past few decades. The commoditizing of physicians and their work frequently causes a dehumanization of the doctor and the doctor/patient relationship not to mention the connections between physicians and other staff. Due to the training, practice culture, constraints, liabilities, and pressures placed on physicians today, they often cannot practice the kind of personalized, relationship-enhancing medicine that would benefit both patient and caregiver. In this monograph Dr. Herdley Paolini does a great service by opening the inner world of physicians and helping us understand them, how to relate to them, and how to best support them in their critical role in healthcare. Her insights will be of great value to everyone from hospital administrators and clinical staff, to insurance providers, government agencies, and anyone who interacts with physicians. The Florida Hospital Healthcare &amp; Leadership Monograph Series is an innovative teaching and learning tool from the largest admitting hospital in America. Monographs in this series provide focused, relevant training to individuals and organizations on a wide variety of healthcare and leadership topics.Ideal for healthcare professionals, leadership innovators, researchers, teachers, students, and other pioneering professionals each volume provides the latest information and break-through thinking on the subject in a clear, concise, readable form.

In Music, Medicine &amp; Miracles, Amy Robertson takes readers on a journey into the world of pediatric music therapy. With an outstanding mixture of clinical vignettes, scientific information and practical administrative experiences, she presents a compelling case for creating music therapy programs for infants and children across the country and around the world. Any hospital especially any children s hospital can benefit from her insights for enhancing their services.
In the last ten years, research has shown that premature infants are able to leave the hospital significantly sooner with music therapy. In some cases, children undergoing procedures like echocardiograms and CT scans are using music therapy instead of sedation. But despite these desirable applications and outcomes music therapy is not as widely accepted and used as it could be.
In a world where healthcare costs continue rising and budgets continue falling, it is becoming harder to implement programs that focus on holistic approaches to healing such as medical music therapy. Ms. Robertson has taken her experience of starting a music therapy program from scratch at the largest admitting hospital in America and provided step-by-step instructions on how others can do the same. Her insights on implementing a cost-effective music therapy program at Florida Hospital for Children will prove invaluable to music therapists, hospital administrators, physician leaders and clinical staff at any healthcare facility. She demonstrates that in addition to the health and healing benefits music therapy provides it can also bring cost-savings and reimbursement to hospitals.
Ms. Robertson became the first in the country to successfully receive reimbursement for inpatient services in the NICU. In this monograph she not only explains how she accomplished this, but how others can as well. Her contributions have broken some boundaries for music therapy and created new opportunities for therapists to continue healing the mind, body, and spirit with music.

Doctors, nurses, and other caregivers provide the most intimate of services the health and healing of our bodies, minds and spirits. When one human being cares for another, it should call forth our best of efforts and bring with it remarkable job satisfaction. Yet we find that medical professionals today are stressed, overburdened and often discouraged, with job-satisfaction rates at an all-time low. How can this be and how is it impacting the patients? 
By tapping into new research and powerful stories from patients and caregivers, Perez weaves a compelling portrait of both the purpose and promise of modern medical care. Perez keeps his focus on the balance between consistently superior clinical performance and reliably purposeful interactions that bring meaning and healing to patient and caregiver alike. The Patient Experience teaches: - The 3 acts of the patient experience. - What is the one driving principle behind raising patient satisfaction? - How to create moments of heartfelt, intentional hope communicated by word or deed -The most important question to ask.

Holding On To What Is Sacred, written by Dr. Randy Haffner, lays out a persuasive vision for how organizations can stay focused on their true values. The most intriguing aspect of the monograph is Dr. Haffner s concept of Confessional Identity a term he coined to delineate a company s core convictions. Confessional Identity pinpoints the very essence of mission. It transcends trendy corporate speak and seeks the spiritual heart of an organization s reason for being. If you work in the corporate world, you need to read this. And if you work for a not-for-profit, faith-based organization I believe this should be mandatory reading for everyone on your team. Why? Because so much is at stake. Your employees need to know why you exist and why their efforts matter. Your customers need to know why you really care. Your leaders need to embrace your core convictions whole-heartedly or they will lose direction. In today s business environment it s far too easy to focus on short-term gains at the expense of your Confessional Identity. Don t let this happen to you. Learn instead the secret of Holding on to What is Sacred. Main topics include: Sustaining your confessional identity, Moving your company into the Destiny Zone, Leading with Purpose, Values Based Leadership, Spirituality in the Workplace, and Faith as a Business Model.

Doctors are unhappy. Disenchanted with the practice of medicine, and dissatisfied with personal and professional life, many entertain the notion of alternative careers. Declining reimbursement, increasing workload, diminishing autonomy, and encroaching bureaucracy have robbed medical practice of joy and reduced it to wearisome drudgery. This disturbing trend emerges at a time when physician leadership in hospitals has never been more crucial. Physician engagement is essential to providing quality care, ensuring patient safety, providing an outstanding experience for patients and families, and building healthy communities. Since doctors and hospitals are inevitably and inextricably bound together in the care of our patients, it is imperative that hospitals help doctors find purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in life while working alongside the hospital to create a healing experience for the suffering and ill who seek our help. This publication, Physician Well-Being &amp; Engagement: --Digs beneath the surface of traditional physician satisfaction concepts to uncover the secrets contributing to deeper physician loyalty --Describes three indispensable elements that provide a solid foundation for physician-hospital relationships --Provides a four-step approach to optimizing first impressions when introducing new doctors to the hospital --Demystifies the concept of wholeness as it applies to patients and physicians --Provides a simple tool, based on Maslows Hierarchy of Human Needs, to assess a hospitals approach to the well-being of staff physicians --Delineates a five-step approach to stimulate thinking about the growing cultural and religious diversity characterizing current-day medical staffs --Illuminates the peak level of human fulfillment as described by Maslow and its practical application to physicians --Provides a rich resource of readily transferable templates, tools, and initiatives designed to jump-start efforts to strengthen engagement with doctors --Provides a provocative glimpse at promising future directions in physician engagement

Do 21st Century mentally ill patients receive all the help and support they need? Not usually, says veteran Chaplain Robert W. Engstrom, now retired, who specialized in hope-filled spiritually-based care to the mentally ill for more than two decades, most of them in the context of Florida Hospital, in Orlando, Florida. Even in our supposedly sophisticated era, Rev. Engstrom says, many people with mental illness are stigmatized, ostracized, marginalized, or worse. Engstrom s monograph, Hope-Filled Healthcare for Mental Illness, is a clarion call for respectful, compassionate interdisciplinary whole-person care for those suffering from mental illness. All caregivers who have contact with the mentally ill, whether in a clinical or non-clinical setting, and whether they are trained psychiatric professionals or not, will find this book to be an indispensable look into the world of people with mental illness and how to help them. There is always hope, Chaplain Engstrom would say, and then he might share a story like that of the suicidal Pastor Ralph, who recovered through the loving intervention of his wife and the compassionate treatment of a team of caregivers who helped him renew his connection with the God he served, like a modern day fulfillment of the Old Testament Isaiah s promise that those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. Or he might describe how Sandy, a young woman whose first psychotic break occurred just weeks before her planned wedding to her childhood sweetheart. Soon she was hearing voices telling her to do irrational things, including throwing herself into a river clad in a wedding gown. A nurse named Norma gained Sandy s trust and listened to her story, helping her believe that someone understood and cared. You will find it moving, inspirational, compelling, convincing, practical, and motivational. The resources and patient questionnaires included will help you take whole-person care for the mentally ill to the next level. The insights and multiple true life illustrations will help you walk with a mentally ill person from out of the dark depths of their own personal hell to see again what the poet, Dante, called the shining world when he wrote, and so we came forth, and once again beheld the stars.

According to Scripture, the Creator made this wondrous world with an astonishing array of plant and animal life. In the center of it all, He created a garden called Eden as a gift for His first two children, Adam and Eve. Along with their garden home, one of the finest gifts God gave the new couple was abundant health. Health in mind, body, and spirit. 
By closely examining the creation story and the Eden environment, we can learn much about feeling fit, living long, and finding peace in our lives today. In fact, after reading and re-reading the remarkable story of Earth s establishment in the Book of Genesis, a team of healthcare visionaries chose to use the word CREATION as an easy-to-remember acronym that summarizes the principles of whole-person health. 
 C for Choice R for Rest E for Environment A for Activity T for Trust I for Interpersonal O for Outlook N for Nutrition 
These principles of wellness are timeless. Though the perfect Eden environment has been lost and we now live in a world broken by disease, suffering, and death, these principles still have the power to transform lives. By putting them into practice, you can start your journey toward optimal health and happiness today. 
In the pages of the CREATION Health Devotional you'll find stories of health, healing, and inspiration. Stories of ordinary people who experienced God's grace in the tough times, God's delight in the triumphant times, God's presence in peaceful times.
