The field of infectious disease epidemiology has been front-and-center for the past few years. It has its own unique culture and set of tools and rules. This book offers a whole new vocabulary, from how to consider transmission—with the idea of a disease reproductive rate—to how disease is dispersed or clustered, and how to design a study. It presents the key concepts and principles underlying infectious disease epidemiology in an organized manner, and describes important activities such as disease surveillance and outbreak investigation. The book is valuable to those beginning their study of infectious disease epidemiology, as well as those working to train the next generation of prevention and control experts. It provides a unique introduction and perspective to the field of infectious disease epidemiology, utilizing a combination of intuitive case studies, popular media examples, and didactic exercises. The chapters introduce learners to major conceptual approaches in the field, as well as key factors that enable us to mitigate disease spread. Each chapter is structured to include key terms, a helpful narrative, “Heads Up” sections that help to allay conceptual confusion, highlights on a key figure in history, and a section with lessons learned from the classroom and questions to foster further investigation. The book is structured into four parts that walk learners through the world of infectious disease epidemiology, first covering disease emergence and basics, moving on to modes of transmission and types of diseases, then proceeding to infectious diseases in context, and finally disease control, eradication, and emergence. The authors hope that both the integrated approach and content of the book provide an exciting entrée into a field that is rich in its complexity, dynamicism, and multidisciplinary leanings.

The concept behind the creation of this first edition of the Handbook of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine stemmed from the consideration of the need to provide information about key concepts in pediatric rehabilitation more effectively to students, residents, and fellows on pediatric rehabilitation rotations. As the subspecialty of pediatric rehabilitation medicine has grown in scope, so has the need to expand the knowledge base not only within the subspecialty, but also to other subspecialties and clinicians who many times are caring for the same children that we are. This book has been created with this focused, yet broader call to convey key clinical information to all clinicians who provide care to children with complex medical and rehabilitation needs. It provides easily accessible key information that is portable. The latest information has been organized efficiently in each chapter through the combined use of text and bullet points to allow for rapid access in clinics and inpatient units, or to refer to while studying for boards. The chapters are grouped for easy reference into growth and development, central nervous system disorders, neuromuscular disorders, musculoskeletal, general, and miscellaneous sections. The book is intended for medical students; trainees in rehabilitation medicine, neurology, orthopedics, and pediatrics; practicing pediatricians, pediatric subspecialists, and primary care physicians; allied health professionals, including physical, occupational, and speech therapists; and advanced practice providers and nurse practitioners.

Nursing Home Administration, Eighth Edition, includes over 50 years of the authors’ collective experience, research, and knowledge in the nursing facility industry. This newest edition is fully updated in all areas and is organized into six parts. Part 1, “Learning How to Manage the Healthcare Organization,” introduces the reader to the concept of the nursing facility administrator being the leader of the facility. Part 2, “Understanding the Departments and Managing Human Resources,” introduces the many departments of the nursing facility and their functions, as well as how each department is dependent on the others. Part 3, “Learning to Manage the Organization’s Finances,” examines the financial role of the administrator. The nursing facility administrator must be an expert in finance, billing, budgeting, financial documents, and accounting. Part 4, “Learning the Continuum of Long-Term Care,” discusses the framework of federal, state, and local laws. The administrator must be aware of Medicare, Medicaid, and other laws to be successful. Part 5, “Building Your Resident Care Skills,” provides fundamental clinical aspects within the facility. Part 6, “Putting the Systems Together,” provides a cursory set of developed policies and procedures upon which a facility can operate. The nursing facility administrator and the director of nursing are uniquely responsible for the quality of care and quality of life of the residents/patients and staff in their facility. Successfully administering a nursing facility is one of the most complex and challenging tasks one can undertake, and one of the most rewarding professional commitments available in the healthcare field.

At no time in recent memory has the practice of public health leadership been more challenging. This book, and its accompanying set of diverse and accessible learning experiences (interviews with notable leaders, case studies, self-assessments, reflection exercises, and the like), provides a solid foundation for the practice of leadership in organizations focusing on such leadership topics as strategic leadership, systems thinking, team leadership, change leadership, and the development of others. Further, the book exposes readers to the challenges, actions, and lessons learned from the
COVID -19 pandemic and other public health and healthcare crises—from after-action reviews to interviews and insights from those on the front lines—culminating in the development of a leadership framework to inform leadership practice. The intended audience for this textbook includes candidates for MHA, DrPH, and MPH degrees, as well as leaders in healthcare, health administration, and public health seeking to further develop their leadership practice. Although key leadership theories will be explored and integrated, the primary focus of this book is on the practice of leadership. The key differentiating feature of the book is that it gives voice to those who practice leadership and have the credibility to discuss the popular as well as the academic literature on a topic—building on a solid foundation of theory, skills, behaviors, and lessons about the challenges leaders face and the contexts in which they must succeed. The book also provides a wide and rich array of learning experiences that incorporate lessons and insights from public health and healthcare leaders. It is organized into four parts. Part I details leadership basics. Part II focuses on key leadership theories and their application. Part III discusses the context and challenges of leadership practice. The final part focuses more specifically on the practice of leadership. - Book
Countless physicians, medical students, and therapists can describe a similar experience at one time or another during their training: a patient is behind the door in an examination room and the daily schedule has the words “shoulder pain” listed as the chief complaint. Depending on one’s experience or comfort level, many questions may immediately flood one’s mind regarding how to approach the patient: What are the various causes of shoulder pain? Is the pain really coming from the shoulder? What structures are important in the shoulder? What aspects of the physical examination will help distinguish one shoulder problem from another? The physical examination of musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous system problems is essential knowledge for broad areas of healthcare, as these problems are among the leading reasons for medical encounters. This pocket reference offers instant access to a wide array of clinical pearls to guide the physical examination and diagnosis. Whether one can choose to keep the print copy handy or use the digital version on our phone or tablet, our answer is quickly within reach. In this updated and refreshed second edition, one can search by body part or suspected diagnosis and find detailed descriptions of physical examination maneuvers, along with associated evidence of sensitivity and specificity, to help us with our diagnosis. Additionally, the reader will find all new colorized illustrations, high-resolution photos demonstrating the maneuvers, and corresponding videos that bring the examination to life. Video icons throughout chapters indicate which tests include an accompanying video. There is no substitute for excellent physical diagnosis skills. The authors hope that one will find this book useful as one develop and fine-tune their skills in order to give patients the very best care.

This book addresses a growing concern. Implementation science seeks to close the research-to-practice gap by identifying the barriers that impede the adoption, implementation, sustainability, and scale-up of evidence-based health interventions, and by identifying the best methods for overcoming those barriers. The implementation scientists’ aspiration for the field is to generate useful and usable scientific knowledge to improve the practice of implementation. The rapid growth of implementation science as a research enterprise, however, has given rise to concerns that the authors and implementation scientists share that implementation science itself will replicate the research-to-practice gap that the field was intended to address. This book represents the first systematic attempt by leading implementation researchers to “translate” implementation science for implementation practitioners by making accessible and practical the wealth of scientific knowledge and associated tools that implementation science has produced. It also addresses an unmet need. Although a growing number of colleges and universities offer courses in implementation science, there are no textbooks in implementation science geared specifically for graduate health professional students or advanced undergraduate students. Instead, instructors teaching such courses must rely on peer-reviewed articles published by implementation researchers for implementation researchers. The book is organized into 14 chapters, suitable for a semester-long course but also useful for a quarter-long course. The core of the book consists of eight chapters organized by common tasks or steps involved in planning, executing, and evaluating implementation efforts. These tasks or steps include assessing the knowledge-practice gap (also known as the know-do gap); selecting an evidence-based practice (
EBP ) to reduce the gap; assessingEBP fit and adapting theEBP ; assessing barriers and facilitators of implementation; engaging stakeholders; creating an implementation structure; implementing theEBP ; and evaluating the implementation effort. - Book
This book is about how to manage healthcare operations. It combines clinicians’ and administrators’ viewpoints to provide a common platform and framework for building competitive advantage through superior operations. A strategic perspective is taken by achieving excellence in the four competitive priorities of an operations strategy: quality, cost, on-time and fast delivery, and flexibility. The competitive priorities should not be pursued in isolation. They are indeed interrelated, with excellent quality laying the foundation for performance in the other competitive priorities, and with targeted improvement initiatives having synergistic effects. The book is organized in six parts, with a special emphasis on the competitive priorities. Part one covers a brief history of healthcare, the challenges it faces today, the role of operations in overcoming these challenges, and describes the process of strategy development, and addresses the concepts and techniques of project management. Part two covers methodologies, tools, and techniques central to quality improvement. Patients’ perceptions of quality (the “voice of the customer”) are translated into objective process metrics using a framework called the “house of quality”. Total quality management, Lean, and Six Sigma principles are described along with tools and statistical process control techniques to uncover problems and direct improvements. Part three deals with process analysis and design principles, and presents techniques to determine optimal capacity levels and formulate patient-centric schedules. Part four covers quantitative forecasting techniques and qualitative techniques such as the Delphi method, emphasizes the importance of selecting the right suppliers and managing relationships with them, and explores the concepts related to the costs of healthcare services. Part five explores the multiple facets of flexibility and its drivers and highlights the role of technology in facilitating the flow of consistent information, part six mentions the merits of accreditation and urges organizations to go beyond meeting the standards.

This textbook provides a unique case study approach to public health emergencies through the combined perspective of both the 2020 10 Essential Public Health Services and the 2021 Master of Public Health Foundational Competencies. For the ease of the reader to approach learning about the roles that they may be called upon to play in addressing public health emergencies, this book is logically arranged into three parts. In the first part, “Fundamentals of Public Health Emergency Preparedness”, the reader gains an overall perspective of public health emergencies. The second part, “Lessons Learned from Actual Incidents”, is the “heart” of the book in the sense that it provides case studies that clearly demonstrate the application of the Essential Public Health Services using Foundational Competencies through activities undertaken by public health workers at different levels; namely, frontline staff, program managers and supervisors, and executive directors and leaders. By the articulation of specific activities to address disasters using the competencies needed to prepare and respond to actual public health emergencies in the case studies, the reader can gain knowledge and insights and then incorporate the lessons learned into their own learning. In the future, when they are working in public health settings and confronted with public health disasters, readers will be able to better respond knowing the vocabulary, incident command structure, and approaches best suited to the public health emergency. The third part of the book, “Special Considerations”, provides the reader with some of the cross-cutting issues confronting public health workers in disaster settings. Public health law, for example, serves as the basis for public health action and supports public health officers in issuing health officer orders for quarantine, isolation, travel restrictions, curtailment or limitation of business and restaurant operations, and vaccination prioritization all of which have been used in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leading Systems Change in Public Health is the first resource written by public health professionals for public health professionals on how to improve public health by utilizing a systems change lens. Edited by leaders from the de Beaumont Foundation and the University of Illinois Chicago School of Public Health with chapters written by a diverse array of public health leaders, the book provides an evidence-based framework with practical strategies, processes, and tools for enacting meaningful change. It provides a common language for practitioners to discuss systems thinking and leading systems change and offers key principles for systems change leadership and delivers a framework for individuals and organizations who want to lead systems change. The book also includes public health examples and practical exercises, practices, and tools to engage in leading systems change. The book’s chapters are organized into four sections. Section I shows how to place racial justice and power-sharing at the heart of any systems change leadership work. Section II begins with an overview of the different levels of systems change work on which to focus to ensure the best possible community-based work and community and population outcomes. It also presents a process to develop meaningful interpersonal relationships. Section III addresses the important role of community partnership in leading systems changes and describes the process for identifying the root challenges associated with the complex public health challenges. It considers issues related to planning for systems change, managing the implementation of the change, and building in a process to learn and adapt. Section IV provides real-world examples and a strong sense of the range of systems change leadership actions at national, state, local, and community levels.
