International Monetary Fund (IMF) What Macroeconomists Should Know About Health
Book SynopsisWhy exactly should macroeconomists be concerned with issues of health policy? This study explains and elaborates on the essential information that a macroeconomist should know in providing inputs to discussions on health sector policy. The primer illustrates how these issues and the range of appropriate policy options may differ depending on an economy's state of development and the particular approach taken by a country in structuring its health system. The authors also provide guidance on the appropriate roles for the state and market in health care financing and provision, taking into account the various sources of market failure in the health sector.

Book SynopsisMost of us will become a caregiver at some point in our lives. And we will assume this role for the most personal reason imaginable: wanting to help someone we love. But we may not know where to start, and we may be afraid of losing ourselves in this daunting task.Former first lady Rosalynn Carter, a longtime advocate for caregivers and mental health, knows firsthand the challenges of this labor of love. Drawing upon her own experiences and those of hundreds of others whose stories she gathered over many decades, Mrs. Carter offers reassuring, practical advice to any caregiver who has faced stress, anxiety, or loneliness. Helping Yourself Help Others, reissued here with a new foreword, is as relevant as ever. Long before the COVID-19 pandemic inspired national conversations about the vast undervaluing of unpaid caregiving, the dangers of burnout, and the merits of self-care for relief, Rosalynn Carter was shining a light on these matters and everything else that caregivers confront. Filled with empathy, this encouraging guide will help you meet a difficult challenge head-on and find fulfillment and empowerment in your caregiving role.Trade ReviewA practical, highly informative, and sympathetic guide." - The Washington Post

Book SynopsisDieses Buch fromuliert und beleuchtet Werte aus der Sicht der Ökonomie und Anforderungen aus der Ethik als Ausgangsbasis für eine differenzierte Betrachtung von Controlling. Als ein wesentlicher Ansatz der letzten Jahre wird die Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) konstruktiv-kritisch analysiert. Neben der Wertediskussion ist die Bedeutung der Prozesse für das Gesundheitswesen immer wieder hervorgehoben worden. In zwei Beiträgen wird dabei die Ergänzung um das Blueprinting und die Möglichkeiten des Lean Management herausgearbeitet. Soll eine Ausrichtung an Werten und eine verbesserte Struktierung von Prozessen gelingen, dann sind unabdingbar Innovationen zu gestalten und voranzutreiben. Dabei wird in diesem Buch ein Innovationscontrolling entwickelt, um diese Entwicklung zu begleiten und die Bedeutung von Verzerrungen hervorgehoben. Ausführungen zu einer Optimierung des Controlling unter Beachtung der Konzeption um ein Behavioral Accounting und zu einer fallmixorientierten Vorgehensweise schließen das Buch ab. Nur wenn Klarheit und Konsensus über die angestrebten Werte besteht, können Prozesse eingeleitet werden, um das Arbeitsziel otpimaler zu erreichen. Dazu bedarf nicht nur eingefahrener Wege und Überlegungen, sondern innovativer Gestaltungskraft. Das Buch möchte hierzu Wege aufzeigen.

Book SynopsisTenemos la posibilidad de modificar la manera en que transmitimos los genes a nuestros hijos para evitarles enfermedades en su vida adulta. Quieres saber cómo? Adéntrate en estas páginas. La salud preconcepcional ha sido objeto de estudio desde hace décadas; sin embargo, no ha habido una publicación que la describa de manera sencilla hasta hoy. Alejandra Ponce y Gabriela Hernández, dos mamás expertas en nutrición, epigenética y estilo de vida, nos ofrecen una guía integral de salud para pasar a nuestros hijos nuestra mejor versión. La mayoría de las recomendaciones en relación con la llegada al mundo de un bebé suelen recaer en la madre durante el embarazo, pero la ciencianos advierte que éstas deben tenerse en cuenta desde tres meses antes de concebir -- lo que se conoce como trimestre cero--, y es importante que las sigan los dos portadores de genes. Lejos de suponer un plan estricto e inflexible, estas modificaciones en el estilo de vida son pequeños cambios de hábitos que harán una diferencia fundamental en la salud que heredaremos a nuestros pequeños.Ya sea que estés pensando en ser mamá o papá, pronto o en un futuro, en este libro encontrarás información imprescindible y eficaz no solo para lograr un embarazo con rapidez, sino de la manera más saludable posible. Ser padre es la tarea más retadora en la vida de una persona y una en la que todos queremos ser los mejores. Con Trimestre cero puedes empezar a ser un gran padre para tus hijos, incluso antes de su concepción. --OSO TRAVA ENGLISH DESCRIPTION It is possible to modify the way we transfer genes to our children to keep them from disease in adult life. Do you wish to know how? Venture yourself within these pages. Preconceptional health has been subject matter for decades; however, we didn't have a single publication describing it succinctly until now. Alejandra Ponce and Gabriela Hernández, both mothers and experts in nutrition, epigenetics, and lifestyle, bring a comprehensive health guide to pass down our best version to our children. Most recommendations regarding a baby's coming into the world are usually directed to the mother during pregnancy, but science warns us that these recommendations should be taken into consideration three months before conceiving--known as trimester zero--and how important it is for both gene carriers to follow them. Far from entailing a strict and inflexible plan, these lifestyle modifications are but small changes in habits, which will make a fundamental difference in the health our little ones will inherit from us. Whether you are thinking about becoming a mother or a father, soon or in the future, in this book you will find crucial, effective information, not only to get pregnant quickly, but in the healthiest way possible. "Being a parent is the most challenging task in a person's life, and one we all want to excel at. With Trimester Zero you can get started on becoming a great parent to your children, even before they are conceived." --OSO TRAVA

IAEA Basics of Quality Management for Nuclear Medicine
Book SynopsisA quality health service, as defined by the World Health Organization, 'is one which organizes resources in the most effective way to meet the health needs of those most in need, for prevention and care, safely, without waste and within higher level requirements'. As health care standards improve globally, providing an optimal service that meets international standards and public expectations requires effective quality management. The process of quality improvement aims at defining, measuring and setting quality standards, and overcoming the associated challenges that include rising costs and skills shortages. The objective of this publication is to provide a framework for quality management systems (QMSs) to be implemented, managed and sustained holistically in nuclear medicine departments. It builds upon the IAEA's QUANUM programme, which has successfully been implemented in more than 80 countries worldwide.

Book SynopsisSexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn and adolescent health (SRMNAH) is an essential component of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite a steady drop in maternal and newborn deaths since 1990, hundreds of thousands of women and newborns around the world continue to die each year during pregnancy and childbirth: an estimated 289,000 women and about 3 million newborn babies died in 2013 alone. The vast majority of loss of life is due to complications and illnesses that could be prevented with proper antenatal care and the presence of a skilled midwife during delivery. In recognition of the need to improve such realities and overall SRMNAH, this publication focuses on the availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality of midwifery services and the pivotal role midwifes play within the wider SRMNAH workforce
