Principles, Cases, and Perspectives

Difficult decisions are part of everyday life for any manager, and the decisions that arise in healthcare are far too important to be made based on poor information and gut feeling. An evidence-based approach to management ensures that healthcare leaders ask the right questions, use the best evidence available, and make better decisions in carrying out their mission. Evidence-Based Management in Healthcare: Principles, Cases, and Perspectives explains what evidence-based management is, how it can guide decision making, and how it can lead the way to improved organizational performance. This updated edition provides a thorough overview and in-depth discussion of evidence-based management, a series of new and expanded case studies and examples, and interviews with notable figures in the field. Key topics include the following: the definition of and rationale for evidence-based management; the four main types of evidence; the six steps of implementation; acquiring the best available evidence; barriers to evidence-based management and how to overcome them; perspectives from stakeholders.

Physician and bestselling author Robert Lesslie describes effective ways for lowering your cholesterol and provides clear, expert advice on such key questions as What exactly is cholesterol? What are HDL, LDL, and triglycerides, and why is it important to know the difference between them? What roles do diet and exercise play in controlling your cholesterol levels? What are the benefits and dangers of cholesterol-lowering drugs? What alternative treatment options are available? Dr. Lesslie's realistic plan to lower your cholesterol will have you living healthier...and may even increase your chances for a longer, more vibrant life.

A Memoir

#1 New York Times Bestseller
2014 National Book Award Finalist
Winner of the inaugural 2014 Kirkus Prize in nonfiction
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award
Winner of the 2014 Books for a Better Life Award
Winner of the 2015 Reuben Award from National Cartoonists Society

In her first memoir, New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast brings her signature wit to the topic of aging parents. Spanning the last several years of their lives and told through four-color cartoons, family photos, and documents, and a narrative as rife with laughs as it is with tears, Chast's memoir is both comfort and comic relief for anyone experiencing the life-altering loss of elderly parents.

While the particulars are Chast-ian in their idiosyncrasies--an anxious father who had relied heavily on his wife for stability as he slipped into dementia and a former assistant principal mother whose overbearing personality had sidelined Roz for decades--the themes are universal: adult children accepting a parental role; aging and unstable parents leaving a family home for an institution; dealing with uncomfortable physical intimacies; and hiring strangers to provide the most personal care.

An amazing portrait of two lives at their end and an only child coping as best she can, Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant shows the full range of Roz Chast's talent as cartoonist and storyteller.
