Book SynopsisThis practical, engaging book provides concise, real life-tested guidance to healthcare teams concerned with widely reported and incentivized hospital quality and safety metrics, offering both a conceptual approach and specific advice and frameworks for reviewing quality and safety numerator events, from the perspective and experience of clinicians and administrators working within the Ochsner Health System.The text opens with the rationale for closely managing widely (including publicly) reported hospital patient quality and safety measures. Attention is given to the financial implications of quality performance, with respect to both penalties and payment incentives used by payer organizations. It then reviews the major public ratings and their relevant methodologies, including CMS, AHRQ and NSHN. In addition, it addresses ratings by proprietary organizations that have a large member clientele, such as Vizient, USNews, Leapfrog, Healthgrades, CareChex and others. Each metric - for example, the AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs), and other metrics such as readmission rate, risk adjusted complications, hospital-acquired conditions and mortality - is addressed in a stand-alone chapter. For each, the importance, approach to review, opportunity for optimization, and engagement of healthcare staff are reviewed and discussed. Overall, this book forefronts the benefits of a collaborative approach within a health system. The concurrent review process, multidisciplinary collaboration among quality improvement, clinical documentation, coding and medical staff personnel are all emphasized. Also described in detail is the approach to and specific opportunities for medical staff education and engagement. Additional key topics include Engagement of the Medical Staff and House Staff (i.e., residents and other trainees), Futile Care, Surgical Quality Improvement (NSQIP), Nursing Provider Partnership, and Translation of Data Review to Successful Performance Improvement. Specialty chapters on pediatric, neurologic and transplant quality metrics are also included.

Book SynopsisEmergency General Surgery has become a cornerstone of Acute Care Surgery over the past decade. Once the scope of community general surgeons, the growing complexity of patients with acute surgical diseases has increasingly driven their care to tertiary referral centers. The aging population confounds this problem further as these patients present with more complex comorbidities, life-threatening physiology, and progressively severe anatomic disease severity. To ensure better outcomes, the practice has evolved to focus on evidence-based practice management guidelines in order to standardize care and optimize outcomes.The purpose of this text is to be a comprehensive volume for patients with acute surgical diseases. There will be three sections, each comprised of multiple chapters. The first section will be a comprehensive analysis of the background of Emergency General Surgery. The goal of this section will be to provide the reader background into the acute surgical practice and to introduce the reader to the important concepts discussed in the remainder of the textbook. The second section will be the largest and will discuss specific acute surgical diseases. Individual chapters will outline the diagnostic approach, current treatment standards, operative approaches, and expected outcomes with an emphasis on practice management guideline implementation into practice. As acute surgical diseases and surgical critical care are integral to each other, the last section will be Critical Care for the Acute Care Surgeon. These topics will focus on the critical care concepts essential to surgeons who care for acute diseases.This comprehensive text is targeted to any surgeon who takes emergency call for any of the listed diseases including community and referral general and vascular surgeons. In addition, this would be an excellent resource for all general surgery residents. Lastly, this would also serve as a resource to intensivists who care for acute surgical patients.Table of ContentsPart 1: Introduction to Fundamental Emergency General Surgery Concepts 1.

Book SynopsisLachen ist die beste Medizin. Dass Medizin aber auch ganz schön zum Lachen sein kann, beweist Dr. Ronny Tekal jede Woche aufs Neue, wenn er mit ärztlichem Insiderwissen in der Kolumne "NebenWirkungen" der ÄrzteWoche einen satirischen Blick auf die gar nicht so heile Welt der Heilkundigen wirft:Wer schon immer wissen wollte, was die "Halbgötter in Weiß“ mit den "Halbgöttern mit heruntergezogener Hose" verbindet, ob "Irren ärztlich ist" und Mediziner völlig hilflos sind, wenn sie „Datenlos durch die Nacht“ geistern, wie man seine „Farm im Darm“ bewirtschaften kann, statt sich im nikotinhaltigen „Nebel des Grauens“ zu verlieren, welche Größe der eigene „Medizinische Fußabdruck“ hat oder wo „Sankt Harvard“ liegt, wie man über die Partnerbörse „Tinder für Ärzte“ die idealen Behandler findet, wo sich im Spital die „Becher-Polonaise“ tanzen lässt und was die Ärzte unterm Kittel tragen, findet hier garantiert die passenden Antworten. Dieses Buch enthält die besten NebenWirkungen der vergangenen 10 Jahre. Für Ärzte. Und Patienten. Und alle, die das eine oder das andere einmal werden wollen.Table of Contents

Book SynopsisDie degenerative Erkrankung des Daumensattelgelenks, die Rhizarthrose, führt zu einer wesentlichen Einschränkung der Daumenopposition und damit nahezu jeder grob- und feinmotorischen Greiffunktion der Hand. Im Anfangsstadium der Erkrankung stehen wirksame konservative Therapieoptionen und später gelenkerhaltende Eingriffe zur Verfügung. Im fortgeschrittenen Erkrankungsstadium, nach Ausschöpfen der konservativen Therapie und bei entsprechenden Beschwerden können gelenkresezierende Eingriffe indiziert sein. Die Resektionsarthroplastik des Daumensattelgelenks hat sich als Standardeingriff bewährt, da sie zuverlässig und mit einer niedrigen Komplikationsrate zu einer deutlichen Schmerzlinderung und einer hohen Patientenzufriedenheit führt. Die neueste Generation von Endoprothesen für das Daumensattelgelenk zeigt in mittelfristigen Nachuntersuchungen bei geringen Luxations- und Lockerungsraten und den Vorzügen einer schnelleren Rekonvaleszenz, sowie dem Erhalt von Länge und Stabilität des Daumenstrahls sehr gute Ergebnisse in Bezug auf Schmerzlinderung, Beweglichkeit und Kraftentwicklung.Table of ContentsEinleitung- Epidemiologie/Vorkommen- Ursachen- Anatomie- Diagnostik- Therapie
