Developed and formatted for quick and easy reference on the go—use with patients in a clinical setting or anywhere you need to get access to the information you need! Focuses on common, everyday issues such as nerve damage and neuropathy, arthritis, fractures and trauma, and otherTrade Review“This is an interesting little book, written as part of the expanding PocketNotebook series now covering several specialties, and is presented in ringbinder format, with hard covers designed to stand up to the rigors of beingpulled in and out of residents' pockets frequently while working on the wardsand inpatient and outpatient settings.The purpose is to reflect current approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of anumber of common and more complex foot and ankle conditions. Pocket referencesin any specialty are always going to be a useful addition and be of value tothose in postgraduate training programs. For the most part, the objectives aremet. The limitation with any book of this size is deciding what to include andwhat to leave out. Overall, this one does a comprehensive job.The book is clearly aimed at those in training, and most specifically will be ofuse to podiatric residents and fellows in the U.S., but possibly to students,too. Overall, the contributors seem to be mostly clinical and either in training themselves orinvolved in postgraduate training, but there is a good balance of contributionsfrom both orthopedic and podiatric perspectives, which is encouraging to see.The best feature of this book is its practical design. It is easy to access theinformation it contains and it will stand up to the abuses of three years ofpostgraduate residency training. The book is organized by either very broad orvery specific topics pertinent to clinical podiatry. Each section is welloutlined and numbered at the top of each page. The weaknesses are several.There is no use of color plates, which would have been useful for thedermatology section, but would no doubt adversely affect cost. There are someareas that are not mentioned, in particular peripheral vascular disease (botharterial and venous).”Weighted Numerical Score: 76 - 3 StarsDoodys Publishers' Club, July 2018

Book SynopsisA complete and fully customisable manual is available to the practising physician to assist with day-to-day operations. The Manual places an emphasis on improving and aiding the medical and business aspects of running an efficient and successful medical practise. An accompanying CD allows the podiatric physician and staff to customise a wide assortment of template forms, from memos for office procedures, employee job descriptions, forms for new employees to sign, and patient consent forms, to creating your own, personalised office employee handbook. This is truly a tool your office cannot do without.Covers the following topics: Clinical Care. The Manual's first section deals specifically with clinically related procedures such as treatment algorithms, appropriate X-ray positioning, general clinical care policies and procedures, proper documentation techniques, and caring for, ordering and dispensing medical instruments, equipment and supplies. The section concludes with a collection of essential clinical care forms and patient education materials needed for everyday operations. Patient Relations. The second section discusses how the podiatric physician's office should manage patient appointment scheduling, insurance, new patient processing, missed appointments, and patient care outside the office. The forms provided at the end of this section will help you and your staff communicate effectively with your patients and provide staff with essential information for dealing with patient-related situations. Office Administration.The objectives of this section include identifying the specific job responsibilities for each of the office personnel, identifying office policies such as responding to telephone calls, delays in the waiting room, and cleanliness, as well as discussing financial polices such as budgeting, accounts payable, collection policies, coding and fee schedules, and insurance and Medicare billing. Conventional administrative forms follow this section's discussions. Personnel Policies. The Manual's fourth section contains the office staff policy guidelines, from compensation and benefits to behavioural expectations. A well thought-out personnel policy section is essential so that your employees know what is expected from them as members of your team. Key forms such as an appropriate employee warning notice and an example of a performance review are among the forms provided in this section. Appendices.

Book SynopsisThe third edition of Clinical Care of the Diabetic Foot has been fully revised and updated, and continues to be the essential handbook on foot care and the treatment of the diabetic foot. The diabetic foot is typically the victim of nerve damage, micro- and macrovascular disease, and faulty healing, mechanisms that without proper care can lead to amputation. More than 80,000 diabetes-related amputations are performed in the United States each year, but non-specialist primary care providers, as well as residents, nurses, and diabetes educators, can help prevent this devastating, life-altering, and expensive complication. Healthcare professionals and medical students alike will find that this concise, well-indexed, and updated guide offers practical advice on detecting and managing diabetes-related foot complications.
