Shared Voices - A Framework for Patient and Employee Safety in Healthcare

Heidi Raines

Summary

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.

Of Ice and Men - How We've Used...

Fred Hogge

An exploration of humanity’s relationship with ice since the dawn of civilization, Of Ice and Men reminds us that only by understanding this unique substance can we save the ice on our planet—and perhaps ourselves. 
 
Ice tells a story. It writes it in rock. It lays it down, snowfall by snowfall at the ends of the earth where we may read it like the rings on a tree. It tells our planet’s geological and climatological tale. 
 
Ice tells another story too: a story about us. It is a tale packed with swash-buckling adventure and improbable invention, peopled with driven, eccentric, often brilliant characters. It tells how our species has used ice to reshape the world according to our needs and our desires: how we have survived it, harvested it, traded it, bent science to our will to make it—and how in doing so we have created globe-spanning infrastructures that are entirely dependent upon it. 
 
And even after we have done all that, we take ice so much for granted that we barely notice it. 
 
Ice has supercharged the modern world. It has allowed us to feed ourselves and cure ourselves in ways unimaginable two hundred years ago. It has enabled the global population to rise from less than 1 billion to nearly 7½ billion—which just happens to cover the same period of time as humanity has harvested, manufactured, and distributed ice on an industrial scale. 
 
And yet the roots of our fascination with ice and its properties run much deeper than the recent past.

The Sceptical Chymist

Robert Boyle

"The Sceptical Chymist" is a book written by Robert Boyle, a renowned 17th-century natural philosopher, in 1661. In this book, Boyle challenges the conventional beliefs about chemistry and the nature of matter that were prevalent during his time. 
Boyle argues that the traditional theories of alchemy and Aristotelian philosophy are flawed and insufficient in explaining the nature of matter. He proposes a new approach to chemistry that emphasizes empirical observation, experimentation, and the use of the scientific method. Boyle's work laid the foundation for modern chemistry by introducing the concept of elements and the notion that chemical reactions occur due to the rearrangement of atoms. 
Moreover, "The Sceptical Chymist" also contains philosophical arguments about the nature of science and the role of experimentation in scientific inquiry. Boyle critiques the prevailing notion that science should be based solely on deductive reasoning and argues that empirical evidence should be given greater weight in scientific investigations. 
Overall, "The Sceptical Chymist" is a landmark work in the history of science, as it helped to establish chemistry as a scientific discipline and paved the way for the development of modern scientific methods

The TR-3B Black Manta - What is...

Martin K. Ettington

The TR-3B, or Black Manta, or Astra is one of the most fascinating potentially top secret aircraft ever created by the United States military. 
The big reason for this is that this craft is supposed to use anti-gravity technology. This technology is discussed a lot in this book. 
Also, what other evidence is there for the existence of this craft? There are lots of unknowns here but there are also enough pictures of this aircraft that you can’t just discount sightings as being something else which the observers misinterpreted. 
There are even anti-gravity patents by US government researchers which might be applicable to the reality of the TR-3B. 
Overall, the existence of this craft is a huge mystery which still needs exploration and solutions to what it really is. 
This is what I’m trying to do in this book.
