PROPEL to Quality Healthcare: Six Steps to Improve Patient Care, Staff Engagement, and the Bottom Line
by Thomas M Muha Martha MurphyYou got into healthcare because you wanted to help people, but quickly discovered providing high-quality care is challenging. Seemingly impossible demands are placed on you and your team. Some coworkers are constantly complaining; others are in their silos doing only what they must to get through the long days. Collaboration is often lacking, and patients suffer the painful consequences. It’s easy to become overloaded with work and overwhelmed with negativity. This is not how the healthcare profession has to be. There is a new science – Positive Psychology – that studies how people are able to perform extraordinarily well in challenging situations. After a dozen years of research in prestigious medical centers, an evidence-based method for applying this science has been developed. That six step program is PROPEL. You will read stories illustrating the experiences of doctors, nurses and administrators who learned to use PROPEL to transform their professional life (and, for many, their personal life as well). You will learn how they were able to attain remarkable results with their teams, units and clinics: • Staff callout and FMLA decreased 75% • Wait times for chemotherapy infusion reduced 6 hours • Staff turnover dropped 80% • Pediatric MRI scheduling driven down from 14 weeks to 10 days • Bone marrow transplant procedures increased by 50% • ED diversion due to psychiatric patient boarding virtually eliminated • Patient fall rate cut by 70% • Use of agency and travelers nurses abolished • Patient satisfaction scores up 50% The cumulative impact to the bottom line has been calculated to be millions of dollars. The most meaningful measure of PROPEL’s success, however, comes from the thousands of dedicated professionals who have expressed heartfelt gratitude for having learned how to recapture their joy for working in healthcare.

PTSD and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
by Jennifer VasterlingEvents that lead to traumatic brain injury are often also psychologically traumatic. Addressing a growing need among mental health practitioners, this authoritative book brings together experts in both posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Chapters present empirically based best practices for conceptualization, assessment, and intervention. The book also addresses the biological and psychosocial mechanisms by which PTSD and mTBI complicate each other; management of commonly associated conditions, including chronic pain and substance abuse; special considerations in military contexts; and possible ways to improve the structure and cost-effectiveness of providing care in this challenging area.
PTSD and the Politics of Trauma in Israel: A Nation on the Couch
by Hebrew University Magnes Press Keren Friedman-PelegPost-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, has long been defined as a mental trauma that solely affects the individual. However, against the backdrop of contemporary Israel, what role do families, health experts, donors, and the national community at large play in interpreting and responding to this individualized trauma? In PTSD and the Politics of Trauma in Israel, Keren Friedman-Peleg sheds light on a new way of speaking about mental vulnerability and national belonging in contemporary Israel. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted at The Israel Center for Victims of Terror and War and The Israel Trauma Coalition between 2004 and 2009, Friedman-Peleg’s rich ethnographic study challenges the traditional and limited definitions of trauma. In doing so, she exposes how these clinical definitions have been transformed into new categories of identity, thereby raising new dynamics of power, as well as new forms of dialogue.
PTSD: A Short History (Johns Hopkins Biographies of Disease)
by Allan V. HorwitzA comprehensive history of PTSD.Post-traumatic stress disorder—and its predecessor diagnoses, including soldier’s heart, railroad spine, and shell shock—was recognized as a psychiatric disorder in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The psychic impacts of train crashes, wars, and sexual shocks among children first drew psychiatric attention. Later, enormous numbers of soldiers suffering from battlefield traumas returned from the world wars. It was not until the 1980s that PTSD became a formal diagnosis, in part to recognize the intense psychic suffering of Vietnam War veterans and women with trauma-related personality disorders. PTSD now occupies a dominant place in not only the mental health professions but also major social institutions and mainstream culture, making it the signature mental disorder of the early twenty-first century. In PTSD, Allan V. Horwitz traces the fluctuations in definitions of and responses to traumatic psychic conditions. Arguing that PTSD, perhaps more than any other diagnostic category, is a lens for showing major historical changes in conceptions of mental illness, he surveys the conditions most likely to produce traumas, the results of those traumas, and how to evaluate the claims of trauma victims. Illuminating a number of central issues about psychic disturbances more generally—including the relative importance of external stressors and internal vulnerabilities in causing mental illness, the benefits and costs of mental illness labels, and the influence of gender on expressions of mental disturbance—PTSD is a compact yet comprehensive survey. The book will appeal to diverse audiences, including the educated public, students across the psychological and social sciences, and trauma victims who are interested in socio-historical approaches to their condition.Praise for Allan V. Horwitz’s Anxiety: A Short History"The definitive overview of the history of anxiety."—Bulletin of the History of Medicine"A lucid, erudite and brisk intellectual history driven by a clear and persuasive central argument."—Social History of Medicine"An enlightening tour of anxiety, set at a sensible pace, with an exceptional scholar and writer leading the way."—Library Journal

Paediatric Cardiac Anaesthesia: A Primer for the General Anaesthetist
by Jutta ScheffczikThis book outlines how to approach the anaesthetic for congenital heart disease patients for non-cardiac surgery, how to plan for it and to provide a blueprint on how to anaesthetise any congenital cardiac lesion. It describes the physiology of congenital cardiac conditions (unrepaired and repaired) which is important for anaesthetic planning and contains anatomical drawings of the lesions with explanation on how the physiology of these lesions influences anaesthetic technique and how anaesthesia influences the lesion. One of the challenges of congenital cardiac conditions is their variability, which needs to be taken into account in any teaching material. With most congenital patients surviving to adulthood, every anaesthetist will come across these patients, regardless of where they work or which specialty they anaesthetise for. Paediatric Cardiac Anaesthesia: a Primer for the General Anaesthetist provides specific information regarding the management of patients with a cardiac lesion and the risks with a general anaesthetic when troubleshooting does not include crashing onto cardio-pulmonary bypass. It is aimed at non-cardiac anaesthetists including anaesthetic trainees who need to learn about congenital cardiac lesions and anaesthetising for it and non-cardiac consultants who anaesthetise cardiac patients (both paediatric and adult) for non-cardiac surgery. It can be used by trainees for learning about it or by consultants for refreshing their memory.
