Principles, Cases, and Perspectives

Difficult decisions are part of everyday life for any manager, and the decisions that arise in healthcare are far too important to be made based on poor information and gut feeling. An evidence-based approach to management ensures that healthcare leaders ask the right questions, use the best evidence available, and make better decisions in carrying out their mission. Evidence-Based Management in Healthcare: Principles, Cases, and Perspectives explains what evidence-based management is, how it can guide decision making, and how it can lead the way to improved organizational performance. This updated edition provides a thorough overview and in-depth discussion of evidence-based management, a series of new and expanded case studies and examples, and interviews with notable figures in the field. Key topics include the following: the definition of and rationale for evidence-based management; the four main types of evidence; the six steps of implementation; acquiring the best available evidence; barriers to evidence-based management and how to overcome them; perspectives from stakeholders.

Roz Chast

A Memoir

#1 New York Times Bestseller
2014 National Book Award Finalist
Winner of the inaugural 2014 Kirkus Prize in nonfiction
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award
Winner of the 2014 Books for a Better Life Award
Winner of the 2015 Reuben Award from National Cartoonists Society

In her first memoir, New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast brings her signature wit to the topic of aging parents. Spanning the last several years of their lives and told through four-color cartoons, family photos, and documents, and a narrative as rife with laughs as it is with tears, Chast's memoir is both comfort and comic relief for anyone experiencing the life-altering loss of elderly parents.

While the particulars are Chast-ian in their idiosyncrasies--an anxious father who had relied heavily on his wife for stability as he slipped into dementia and a former assistant principal mother whose overbearing personality had sidelined Roz for decades--the themes are universal: adult children accepting a parental role; aging and unstable parents leaving a family home for an institution; dealing with uncomfortable physical intimacies; and hiring strangers to provide the most personal care.

An amazing portrait of two lives at their end and an only child coping as best she can, Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant shows the full range of Roz Chast's talent as cartoonist and storyteller.

Never used gratitude journal! I received as a gift! #selflove #gratitude

A Daily 5 Minute Writing Practice to Be Grateful, Experience Self Care, Love, and Gratefulness, Unique Flowers Cover, for an Amazing Start Of 2022

We live in a culture of the more, the better. But what would you say to the idea of being able to change your life by allocating less, not more?

This 248 pages gratitude journal expands for six months, and it's aimed to be used for no more than 5 minutes a day.

WHAT'S INSIDE THE BOOK?

 * Daily prompts for 26 weeks that help you what you love and more importantly why
 * 26 weekly exercises carefully thought out to increase your self-awareness
 * 6 monthly reflections to track your mindfulness progress
 * Daily positive affirmations & monthly quotes


I have created this journal with the main goal to support young and adult women easily and effectively to find their inner balance, strength, peace of mind, and at least their happiness.

WHY IS JOURNALING IMPORTANT?

 * Journaling supported me navigate through some extremely challenging and demanding periods in my life. By taking aside no more than 5 minutes a day for yourself, your subconscious mind receives the message that you are important and worthy of self-love, respect, and care.
 * Often, our minds are cluttered with thousands of thoughts that make us feel confused, anxious, and lacking self-control. Writing these thoughts down supports you to get in touch with your most intimate thoughts and feelings and bring them to the surface. This will help you get to know yourself better and have huge aha moments about who you are and what is important to you.
 * It also helps you to order your thoughts to prioritize them (when everything is important, nothing is important) since you can only write one thought at a time.


The power of journaling comes from taking the time aside daily, even if it's only for a couple of minutes a day. If you believe you don't have the time (as I did), I invite you to watch closely where your time goes, and most probably, you will observe that you allocate already much more than 5 minutes a day for things that are not always in your best interest or useful to you.

WHY IS BEING GRATEFUL IMPORTANT?

Plenty of studies prove how gratitude writing (more in the journal) can benefit healthy, well-adjusted individuals and those who struggle with mental health concerns. Furthermore, practicing gratitude on top of receiving psychological counseling carries more significant benefits than counseling alone, even when that gratitude practice is brief.

HOW TO USE THIS JOURNAL?

 * I would strongly encourage you to start journaling whenever you feel ready, don't wait for the 1st of the month. This journal has a monthly reflection time after four weeks (28 days), precisely not to depend on the months with 28, 30, or 31 days.
 * Choosing a time when I knew I wouldn't be disturbed worked best in creating this new habit faster and easier. I've also tried to stick to it as often as I could.
 * Read the daily quote and meditate on how this quote applies to you for a few seconds.
 * Set aside a few minutes a day to answer the four daily questions: What could you be grateful for today? / What do you appreciate the most today / What you like about you / and What made you smile today.
 * Connect to yourself at a deeper level! Write down some thoughts, say something nice to you, remind yourself of something worth being in your focus on writing down some words that are relevant now for you.


My desire and true intention are that while filling in this journal, you'll find your inner peace, develop a new perspective

on life, and experience the benefits of gratitude through your whole body, mind, and soul!

Lots of Love,

Victoria
