Stanford University Press Caring for Patients A Critique of the Medical

Rutgers University Press Practice Under Pressure Primary Care Physicians
Book SynopsisThrough ninety-five in-depth interviews with primary care physicians (PCPs) working in different settings, as well as medical students and residents, Practice Under Pressure provides rich insight into the everyday lives of generalist physicians in the early twenty-first centuryùtheir work, stresses, hopes, expectations, and values.Trade Review"Practice Under Pressure could not be more timely. Timothy Hoff has written a concise, compelling examination of the work of primary care based on integration of qualitative data and published quantitative findings. Hoff interviewed 88 PCPs, residents, and students, as well as 2 nonphysician leaders. The book's power emanates from these narratives." * Journal of the American Medical Association *"In this timely book, Timothy Hoff presents a survey of ninety primary care physicians. They speak their minds—and hearts. Hoff explains how, in a generation, our family doctors gave up hospital practice and found themselves boxed into fifteen minutes of face time with patients in the office: the business model that favors technology over talking and thinking. Primary care, which we need more of, cannot compete with the higher prestige and earnings of specialties like surgery and radiology. This book will help everyone—professionals, the public, and politicians—to grasp the nettle. Meanwhile the US healthcare system hardly deserves a passing grade." * ForeWord Reviews *"Sociologist Timothy Hoff takes us to the heart and soul of the primary care crisis in America. Through personal stories, he reveals the daily frustrations and the deep compassion of these dedicated physicians." -- Bruce Bagley, M.D. * former president, American Academy of Family Physicians *"The erosion of primary medical care is of increasing concern for the organization of our health care system, for patients, and for issues of access and cost. In this book, Timothy Hoff looks at this issue through the perspectives of primary care physicians and provides useful information for understanding significant changes in medical care and future challenges." -- David Mechanic * Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research, Rutgers University *"This is the best book on primary care to come along in years. Hoff's recommendations for improvement are grounded in the everyday experience of primary care providers and what they and others will need to make such improvements reality." -- Stephen M.

Cambridge University Press Surviving Prescribing
Book SynopsisSafe and effective prescribing is one of the pillars of medical practice but is much more complicated than it seems. Many new prescribers find prescribing extremely challenging, and a plethora of independent, multidisciplinary prescribers are also seeking guidance. However, pharmacology textbooks are rarely practical. They warn to ''take care when prescribing erythromycin to a patient on warfarin, as the INR may rise''. But what should the prescriber actually do? Surviving Prescribing fulfils an important need by offering practical advice for real-world prescribing problems. The book complements existing educational resources but adds a new perspective. Written by experienced contributors from a variety of professional backgrounds, the content speaks directly to the problems routinely seen in hospital prescribing. And all in one, pocket-sized volume. Whether revising for the national Prescribing Safety Assessment, preparing for starting on the wards, or looking for a quick reference guTrade Review'Wow. This is a phenomenal piece of work. Excellent for medical students, specialty trainees and anyone prescribing outside specialty. It acknowledges both the complexity and risks of prescribing and provides a framework that spans pre-clinical pharmacology and prescribing at the bedside. I wish this book had been written 20 years ago. It's chatty and readable and will be an invaluable resource to students and doctors alike.' Dr Chris van Tulleken, Honorary Associate Professor, UCL, London'A valuable source of information and reference and a 'must read' text to support education and learning for prescribers in all health sectors.' Ian Bates, Professor of Pharmacy Education, UCL School of Pharmacy, London'Surviving Prescribing is a must have for new prescribers. An easy-to-use, practical guide to prescribing, it is full of useful tips and easy-to-remember acronyms, in a concise readable format. It will help the reader develop their knowledge of key therapeutic topics, calculation methods, serious drug interactions and electronic prescribing. The comprehensive content is primarily written for hospital-based prescribers though practitioners in care homes, general practice, domiciliary and other primary care settings will find much of the content useful too.'

There have been a lot of changes to medical careers over the last few years that are now coming to completion, making this a thoroughly up to date guide for all those thinking of going into general practice.Trade Review“The authors clearly enjoy their work … .They provide a clear picture of what to expect and how to navigate what can be a confusing journey. The authors describe the process well for readers who have no previous understanding of what's involved. In fact, there are very important lessons for U.S. physicians as we contemplate the future of the American system of medicine.

Hoff depicts a field in crisis amid a system trending toward 'transactional,' volume-driven, ever more 'balkanized' care. The practitioner perspective illuminates a system antithetical to the preventive care that is family medicine's stock-in-trade, and Hoff's observations about the missteps behind the field's malaise are incisive. This emphasis will also serve to impart a sense of agency to the book's professional readers — that redemption lies in setting their house in order.—San Francisco ChronicleHoff, professor of management, health care systems, and health policy at Northeastern University, investigates the specialty of family medicine through archival research and interviews conducted with practicing family physicians....An excellent book.—Choice (American Library Association)[Hoff] piec[es] out the cognitive dissonance of practicing family medicine in a broken health care system.—Lalita Abhyankar, Health AffairsTable of ContentsPrefaceChapter 1.

Lippincott Williams and Wilkins The Medication Interest Model
Book SynopsisThis pioneering book on the clinician-patient alliance - written in a fast-paced, highly enjoyable writing style - shows medical, nursing, physician assistant, and clinical pharmacy students the importance of the principles behind shared decision making and how to transform those principles into clinical practice. Shawn Christopher Shea, MD, an internationally respected author, has a superb ability to perceive the complexities of clinical interviewing as applied to shared decision making, while creating frameworks and interviewing techniques that illuminate, clarify, and simplify those complexities so that young clinicians can immediately apply them. This book demonstrates the art of enhancing the therapeutic alliance by addressing one of the most, if not the , most important of interviewing tasks with regard to achieving successful healing: collaboratively talking with patients about their medications and effectively enhancing their medication adherence.The MedTrade ReviewCurrent Edition Reviews:“The audience is healthcare providers, including students, residents, and practitioners . . . . provides a number of methods that promote safe, adherent, and collaborative information that enable positive dialogue between patient and healthcare provider. There is a wealth of information on interviewing processes . . . . thoroughly explores various reasons why patients do not take their medication . . . . proven interview techniques to talk with patients about their medications . . . covers various specialized topics including culture, religion, family, and the digital world . . . .” Doody’s Review MaryAnn Frances Troiano, DNP Monmouth University School of Nursing and Health Studies“Dr. Shea’s book on the Medication Interest Model (MIM) is such a necessary and crucial tool in the care of our patients. We may be skilled in the cardiovascular exam, or the pulmonary exam, or we may be superb in the comprehensive neurology or mental health exam, but without techniques like those found in the MIM, these honed skills become almost meaningless. Every clinician must read this book. It should be required reading for all medical students, nursing students, physician assistants, and social workers. The provider-patient relationship has not had such an advance since Sir William Osler.” Peter G. S. Gunther, MD, FACP Chief Medical Officer, Community Health Centers of Burlington, Vermont Clinical Associate Professor, Larner College of Medicine, University of VermontPrevious Edition Reviews:“In the following pages, you are in for a treat. You are about to enter the very soul of what we do, and you could not find a better guide . . . . destined to fill a giant void in the training of all medical and nursing students, as well as becoming a classic read for experienced clinicians in search of the art of medicine. My advice is simple – read it.” Former Surgeon General of the United States (1981-1989) C. Everett Koop, MD, ScD Senior Scholar, C. Everett Koop Institute at Dartmouth“As an endocrinologist I can safely say that the secret to treating diabetes lies within the pages of this book, for the secret of successfully treating diabetes – as well as all other serious diseases – lies in improving medication adherence. No book provides better answers to this vexing problem. Laced with humor and compassion it is a fun book, a rare clinical gem, highly recommended for all generalists, specialists, nurses, case managers, and medical, nursing, and clinical pharmacy students. I read it carefully – twice.”George F. Cahill, Jr. M.D.Professor of Medicine, Emeritus, Harvard Medical SchoolPast President, American Diabetes Association“A bright and refreshing writing style, packed with unusually insightful interviewing tips. Medication issues are central, complex, and controversial in the era of evidence-based medicine and shared decision-making; and Dr. Shea’s book is simply the best resource available on communicating with people about their medications.”Robert E. Drake, MD, PhDAndrew Thomson Professor of PsychiatryDartmouth Medical Schools“A valuable book for even the most experienced clinician from primary care to endocrinology. Dr. Shea brings rich insights to a topic (what words we choose as we introduce medications and address their side-effects), that is seldom discussed in training. He reminds us that our words are as important a part of the pharmacopoeia as the medications themselves.”John F. Steiner, MD, MPHDirector of the Colorado Health Outcomes ProgramProfessor of Medicine, Preventive Medicine and BiometricsUniversity of Colorado“Shawn Shea, a rare Lincolnesque physician, wrassles to the ground the tough problem of improving medication adherence . . . . written with gimlet-eyed clarity and eloquence – this book is a boon for any clinician.”Mack Lipkin, MDFounding President of the American Academy on Physician and PatientProfessor of MedicineNYU Medical Center

PerformTrade Review4-Star Review from Doody's Review Service!"This remains one of the best, if not the best, book for understanding and learning how to perform the basic outpatient procedures in the primary care office. The first edition was published in 2009. Because the purpose of this book is to teach, the editor describes the focus of this second edition as breaking down each procedure into its component parts and illustrating techniques to give primary care and emergency medicine providers the skills necessary to provide primary care services. The editor and contributors have continued the work begun with the first edition. The audience includes primary care and emergency medicine providers, resident or attending, as well as the nursing and technical staff who are called upon to prepare patients and assist in the procedure. For the most part, the contributors are highly experienced practitioners and teachers. The value of this book lies in the completeness of the information , the explanations of the important aspects of the procedure, indications and contraindications, the equipment lists, the pictures and videos of the procedure, and the CPT billing codes associated with the procedures. This continues to be a most necessary addition to every training program in primary care or emergency medicine. It is one of the best books on outpatient procedures -- there are few that come close."Reviewed by Vincent F Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP(Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences) on behalf of Doody's Review ServiceWeighted Numerical Score: 94 - 4 Stars!
