The house belonging to the only black family living in Jack's neighborhood burns down in the middle of the night.

In Shared Voices, author and entrepreneur Heidi Raines shows how to systematically ensure the safety of patients and staff at healthcare facilities. Most medical errors occur because of flawed systems, not reckless practitioners, and systems can learn from errors. A just culture of care that protects everyone is possible through a framework of near-miss and incident reporting, equitable follow-up, analysis, and learning.Heidi, the founder and CEO of Performance Health Partners, has dedicated her career to designing solutions for healthcare organizations in need of knowledge and technology to deliver safe, equitable, and quality care. In this book, she argues that the way to foster more safety in healthcare facilities is to create organizational structures centered around reporting incidents and near-misses, then use systems thinking to resolve and prevent issues.And the best path to do this is to give voices to all healthcare workers by encouraging them to speak out and report observations about their work. Active staff engagement not only keeps patients and employees safe, but it also combats burnout and turnover.As points of care grow and training levels vary, it is paramount for healthcare leaders to establish a framework that sets caregivers up for success at every level and in every type of healthcare organization. Modernization may seem labored at first, but its longer-term results-including overall reduction in serious safety events, and the saving of lives-are ultimately the drivers of innovation.Shared Voices is Heidi Raines' latest contribution to the world of healthcare patient and employee safety. She holds a Preceptor Faculty position at Tulane University's Master of Health Administration program and serves as Board President of the American College of Healthcare Executives Women's Healthcare Executive Network. Raines has received awards for innovation and executive leadership and was named one of the Top 100 Influential Entrepreneurs in Technology.

It's about adapting your outlook of and relationship to winning, and losing, so you can enjoy and learn from both. Winning the Moment inspires momentum to set the tone for yourself and choose what a win looks like. Life is linear and success, though a single dramatic milestone, isn't always the end point. What you do with all of life's wins shapes who you are. Stop looking for the "I'll be happy when" moments-pie-in-the-sky brass rings are always moving targets.

Achieve personally, thrive professionally: revolutionary thought leadership on how your personal and professional lives affect each other - and how to seize control of both through a simple approach. Pioneering a ground-breaking ideology, Personal Business: Using the ASA Way to Build an Inspired, Purposeful Team debunks the long-standing, widespread expectations of attaining work-life balance. Here, Shuaib Ahmed, a legal defense attorney prominently recognized in his industry, proves not only that this balance doesn't exist but that as humans, it's impractical to keep the impacts of one part of your life isolated from affecting the other. Sharing his own experiences and personal journey, Shuaib proves, chapter by chapter, that our personal and professional lives cannot and should not be divided into two separate components the way society has long implored us to do. Rather he demonstrates through his own life and real-world examples how personal and professional energy and achievements feed off each other, impacting the other in ways that stretch beyond what we, as a society, fully acknowledge. In this book, he takes his thought-leadership a step further to offer a tried and tested process to conquer both parts of our lives with confidence so that success and fulfillment in one leads to promising results in the other.

EMBRACING THE OPPORTUNITY OF WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND TRANSFER FROM HIS PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, Steve Braverman has learned that wealth management and transfer needs to be defined by far more than just numbers. Personal and professional experience has taught him that much more goes into creating a successful legacy. With Your Time with the Baton he moves beyond the basics of setting up a trust and having good investments to the challenges of communicating with family about what is often a difficult subject. Steve makes it clear that everyone involved in managing, consuming, and transferring family wealth needs to think about what wealth means, what the family values are, why the grantors want to pass their money on, and what the inheritors want to do with it. They need to establish an ongoing dialogue that takes each person involved seriously. Ultimately, all of these people will function best as part of a team, like runners in a relay race, working together, listening to, learning from, and celebrating each other, thereby making the individuals on the team more fulfilled and the team more successful - and, he hopes, also contributing to society in creative and lasting ways. That is a legacy that anyone can be proud of.

Exploring the Magic of Childhood in an Era of Discovery and ChangeEisenhower Babies takes readers on a journey to a time when World War II memories were still relatively fresh, space exploration was becoming more than just fantastical subject matter for science fiction, and television had barged its way into American homes, taking up permanent residence in a hallowed spot in front of the living room sofa.Among the millions of Eisenhower Babies who burst on the scene from January 1953 to January 1961 was Ronnie Blair. His memoir of growing up in a Kentucky coal-mining community from the late 1950s to the early 1970s weaves history, popular culture, and geography into a nostalgic journey interspersed with tales of coal-strike tensions and humorous family adventures. Eisenhower Babies is a celebration of the eccentricities of 1960s small-town life, where a police officer might promise to give a four-year-old his gun once the officer ran out of bullets, a neighbor could return from a Florida vacation with a live baby alligator as a new pet, and the children of World War II veterans waged imaginary battles against Hitler's treachery in their hillside backyards.
