Sundhedsvæsen

Includes strategies to improve natural immunity and build inner strength Ever since the SARS-CoV-2 virus appeared in November 2019, the world has been imprisoned in political and medical tyranny. Our constitutional rights were confiscated, unlawful lockdowns were imposed and lives and livelihoods were lost. Logic and reason were trashed and replaced with mandates and madness. Politicians, public health officers and hospital administrators became 'medical experts' while physicians trained to treat patients were gagged and told to follow orders, or lose their jobs. Dissent was labelled as misinformation, conspiracy theory and dangerous lies.COVID-19 is no ordinary pandemic where millions of people drop dead in the street from infection. Instead, a mythical bogyman was released to spread a false narrative and terrorise people with fear. The plan is to usher in a new-world 'utopian' normal. In this updated edition, Margaret Stevenson explains how people have been threatened and coerced to follow a political line. How the global elite are leading us to a dystopian future where humanity will be enslaved and controlled in a matrix of fear. Margaret shows how, with determination and a few strategies, we can break free from this mental prison and design our own future-one of peace, hope, freedom and abundance.

Oft und gerne werden Bedeutung und Wichtigkeit der Gesundheitsberufe für die Gesellschaft betont. Häufig bleibt jedoch die tatsächlich gezeigte Wertschätzung gegenüber den Erwartungen zurück. Dies trifft nicht nur auf die üblicherweise im Vordergrund stehende, tarifvertragliche Entlohnung zu, sondern vor allen Dingen auch auf den arbeitstäglichen Umgang mit den Beschäftigten in den mehr als 200.000 Großkliniken, Krankenhäusern, MVZ, Arzt-/Zahnarztpraxen oder Pflegeeinrichtungen. Unabhängig von hierarchischen Positionen, aufbauorganisatorischen Zuordnungen oder Anstellungsverhältnissen ist der Tatsache Ausdruck zu verleihen, dass alle Angehörigen von Gesundheitsbetrieben zum Gelingen des Ganzen beitragen. Auch wenn das ärztliche Handeln dabei zwangsläufig im Vordergrund steht, so ist es letztendlich doch eine Teamleistung, die den Gesamterfolg ausmacht. Einen wesentlichen Beitrag zum Gelingen leistet ein modernes und wertschätzendes Personalmanagement, das ein breites Instrumentarium anbietet: Personalentwicklung, Mitarbeitermotivation, Personalführung, Konfliktbewältigung, Arbeitsstrukturierung, bis hin zu virtuellen Arbeitsformen. Andreas Frodl erläutert mit Hilfe von zahlreichen Beispielen die verschiedenen Methoden und Verfahren praxisnah und orientiert an den besonderen Bedürfnissen Gesundheitsunternehmen und -betrieben.In der deutlich erweiterten Neuauflage wurden zahlreiche Aktualisierungen und Ergänzungen eingearbeitet, insbesondere sei das Kapitel 5 mit der Gestaltung der Arbeitsbedingungen und -umgebungen in Gesundheitsbetrieben sowie den Digitale Arbeitswelten erwähnt. Ein Grundlagen- und Nachschlagewerk für Mediziner, Ärzte, Pflegeleitungen und Führungskräfte in Gesundheitseinrichtungen.

"As the Stanford health economist Liran Einav and the MIT economist and MacArthur Genius Amy Finkelstein argue, our health care system was never deliberately designed, but rather pieced together to deal with issues as they became politically relevant. The result is a sprawling yet arbitrary and inadequate mess. It has left 30 million Americans without formal insurance. Many of the rest live in constant danger of losing their coverage if they lose their job, give birth, get older, get healthier, get richer, or move. It's time to tear it all down and rebuild, sensibly and deliberately. Marshaling original research, striking insights from American history, and comparative analysis of what works and what doesn't from systems around the world, Einav and Finkelstein argue for automatic, basic, and free universal coverage for everyone, along with the option to buy additional, supplemental coverage. Their wholly original argument and comprehensive blueprint for an American universal health insurance system will surprise and provoke."--Publisher marketing.

This is the first Nursing book on cancer care designed around a conceptual model of whole person care.  Key concepts are stress, healing, resilience and health. As a clinical model, nursing goals, desired outcomes, key concepts and proposed psychosocial interventions with patients and family caregivers,  advance the practice of clinical nursing toward a more comprehensive understanding  of the whole person with cancer and their loved ones. As a model for teaching nursing students about chronic illness, it provides a scientific basis for students to learn how to assess and care for the whole person   and his loved one. As a model for clinical research in the field of cancer care, it serves as a predicate for the development, evaluation and interpretation of clinical interventions. The model is a dynamic framework that both informs and is informed by research findings. It is hoped that future research findings will reveal the optimal combination of interventions to provide comprehensive care across clinical contexts. With a patient-centred humanistic focus anchored by the quality of the nurse patient and family caregiver relationships, it is hoped that the nurse's technical, procedural and medical expertise may complement rather than define the nurse's approach to the whole patient and family.   The book is structured to facilitate the reader's easy access to needed information. Each chapter examines a key concept of the model, and is organized around an introduction, learning objectives, definitions, and relevant research findings that serve as the scientific predicate for suggested interventions discussed in Part 4, Nursing approaches. Clinical and personal anecdotes, tables and figures illustrate the concepts under discussion.   Nurse practitioners, clinic nurse specialists, nursing professors, graduate students, and nurse researchers may find this book a useful reference for conceptualizing whole person care, and for determining relevant interventions that promote healing, resilience and health. But it is also relevant for family doctors and fourth year students learning to care for the whole person with a chronic illness.
