Telehealth Success - How to...

Brandon M. Welch, Aditi U. Joshi

The Definitive Guide to Mastering Telehealth In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare landscape experienced an unprecedented transformation, thrusting millions of clinicians into telehealth. What was once a niche method of providing care rapidly became the new standard overnight. While some healthcare providers have adapted well, many find themselves wrestling with the challenges of telehealth. Mastering telehealth requires an entirely different set of tools and practices—ones that are not typically taught in medical schools. So what distinguishes those who flourish from those who struggle? In what is becoming the quintessential guide to telehealth, experts Dr. Brandon M. Welch and Dr. Aditi U. Joshi invite readers to explore what it takes to be successful with telemedicine. Enriched by captivating case studies, groundbreaking research, and firsthand experiences, Drs. Welch and Joshi unravel the complexities of telehealth, offering invaluable insights into its failures, successes, and untapped potential. They point out that success in telehealth requires success in each of the five critical domains: Patient Success: Ensuring that patients not only receive the quality of care they expect but also experience it in a manner most suited to their preferences. Clinician Success: Empowering clinicians and healthcare organizations to deliver world-class care in a manner that complements their practice. Technology Success: Demystifying the technology that underpins telehealth, emphasizing the importance of intuitive, reliable platforms. Financial Success: Providing a framework for clinicians, insurers, and patients to reap the financial benefits of telehealth adoption. Compliance Success: Navigating the legal landscape of telehealth, helping clinicians leverage healthcare laws and regulations to their advantage. By following the actionable strategies outlined in this comprehensive book, healthcare providers can transition from merely adopting telehealth to thriving with it. Telehealth holds the promise of shaping a healthcare future that is more accessible, convenient, affordable, and equitable than we've ever known. And this book is your ultimate roadmap to that future.

The Unity of Science - Exploring...

Irwin Shapiro

A journey guided by science that explores the universe, the earth, and the story of life 
 
 
  
For Irwin Shapiro, science starts with questions. This book provides a broad and entertaining survey of major scientific discoveries that have changed our views of nature and, in turn, spawned further questions. 
 
 
  
Shapiro, an award-winning scientist and beloved teacher, separates his inquiry into three parts: looking up at the universe; looking down at the earth and its fossils; and looking in at the story of life. His framework encourages listeners to view science as a detective story—to observe and question nature and natural phenomena, and to base all conclusions on scientific evidence. 
 
 
  
With his knowledgeable yet conversational approach, Shapiro offers an enjoyable way for the curious to learn about the foundations of a range of scientific topics: the motions of bodies in the cosmos, the history and structure of the earth, the evolution of organisms, and the search for extraterrestrial life and intelligence.

The Beast Within - Humans as...

Jessica Serra

How different from animals are we really? 
 
 
 
Are humans the only creatures who love, laugh, cry, possess morals, and wage war? In The Beast Within, scientific researcher and ethologist Jessica Serra upends the assumptions that underpin our very human hypothesis that we possess a superior place in the hierarchy of organisms on Earth. How did we come to think of our animality as standing in opposition to our humanity—and does this reasoning have a scientific basis? 
 
 
 
Through the fascinating discoveries made by ethologists, anthropologists, and archeologists, Serra deciphers our behaviors in light of their animal roots and demystifies ideas about how different animals are from humans. She compares human behaviors with those exhibited by other species in chapters spanning topics as varied as sex, morality, emotions, intelligence, and family. Exploring the evolution of various animal species, as well as the evolution of historical ideas about humanity and animality, Serra theorizes that human behaviors and motivations may hold more in common with those of animals than we think. These explorations of scientific findings encourage us to reconsider how much we have truly removed ourselves from "the beast within."

8-8 3 Is The Meaning of Family

Berlin Julien Theodore M.ED JD

Every 11 years there are various changes in appearance and activity that take place in the sun. The levels of solar radiation vary, as well as how much material is ejected by the sun into space and the number of and size of the solar flares and sunspots on the sun. These changes do not just affect space but Earth’s surface and atmosphere too.  We are currently experiencing the sun’s 25th solar cycle which began in December 2019. This book gives a brief explanation of solar cycles and describes how solar cycles impact our planet. This book is by TEODOR 1 Incorporated, a digital media and book publishing company. This book is narrated by Sommers Smith in association with Sunshine Writing & Media Services.

Cosmology's Dark Secrets -...

Dirk Fallon

The vastness of the universe has always stirred human curiosity, evoking questions that seem to stretch beyond the reach of science and into the realm of the unknown. As far back as ancient civilizations, people looked up at the night sky and wondered about the lights scattered across it. With the advancement of technology and scientific understanding, we have come to learn much about what lies beyond our atmosphere. Yet, despite all we know, there remains an overwhelming sense that we are only scratching the surface of a far deeper reality.
The observable universe refers to the portion of the cosmos we can detect through light and other forms of radiation. With telescopes, we can peer billions of light-years into space, essentially looking back in time to the early moments following the Big Bang. However, what we can observe is just a fraction of the entire cosmos. Beyond this visible boundary lies a realm shrouded in darkness, not because it is absent, but because it is inaccessible to our current instruments. This horizon, defined by the limits of the speed of light and the age of the universe, presents a fundamental boundary to what we can ever know.
Despite the sophistication of our tools, human perception is still tied to what light allows us to see. We rely heavily on electromagnetic radiation—visible light, radio waves, X-rays—to map and understand the structure of the cosmos. However, this reliance imposes a narrow filter on our understanding. There may be phenomena that exist completely outside the spectrum we can currently detect. The deeper we explore, the more we realize that the cosmos may be full of activity and matter that leave no trace in the form of light.
