Book Description
Written for graduate students and professionals in the fields of midwifery, women’s health, and public health, this book explores the freestanding birth center model in the United States from its conception by pioneering midwives and others in the early 1970s to the present day. Compared to the hospital-based birth model, the freestanding birth center offers a well-documented, healthier, more cost-effective, and more humane way to care for women and newborns, consistent with the goals of the Affordable Care Act. This rapidly expanding model of care has many positive implications for high-quality, individualized care and birth outcomes across the United States. Written by U.S. leaders in midwifery, Freestanding Birth Centers: Innovation, Evidence, Optimal Outcomes offers a comprehensive guide to the evolving role of birth centers, clinical and cost outcomes, regulatory and legal issues, provider and accreditation issues, and the future of the birth center model. Woven throughout the text are descriptions of "exemplar" birth centers representing diverse geographical, business, and service models. These cases illustrate the possibilities for expansion and replication of this model of care. Key Features Provides a thorough history of the birth center movement from its inception through future expansion of the model Serves as an essential resource with up-to-date evidence on clinical and cost outcomes Includes case studies linking the unique service focus of individual birth centers to the associated sections of the book Provides practical and comprehensive coverage of all issues involved in running a U.S. birth center

Developing Successful Health Care Education Simulation Centers
Author: Pamela R. Jeffries, DNS, RN, ANEF, FAAN
Publisher: Springer Publishing Company
ISBN: 0826129552
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
"Pam Jefferies and Jim Battin provide a very thoughtful, step by step approach to create a collaborative health care simulation consortium. It is inspiring to witness many stakeholders come together in Southeast Indiana to effectively educate and train people entering the healthcare profession (and current nurses, doctors, and allied health professionals)! [This book] isn't just about health care and simulationÖ it offers a terrific road-map for any community, region, or industry focused on developing human potential as the means to economic prosperity and quality of life!" --John Burnett Chief Executive Officer, Community Education Coalition of Columbus, Indiana "This book provides an important road map for health care professionals to develop collaborations effectively in simulation, regardless of discipline or domain. Readers can also use it to evaluate existing collaborationsÖ[The] book will improve both developing programs and existing programs, so that educators and administrators can focus their attention on teaching and learning through simulation." --Bonnie Driggers, MS, MPA, RN SimHealth Consultants, CEO and Senior Consultant Oregon Health & Science University, Faculty Emeritus --Michael Seropian, MD, FRCPC Associate Professor, Oregon Health & Science University Past Chair and Founder, Oregon Simulation Alliance President, Society for Simulation in Healthcare Over two thirds of magnet hospitals in the United States use simulation in staff education programs, and many educators have introduced simulation into their nursing and healthcare curricula. This highly practical volume meets a growing need for guidelines on planning, organizing, and implementing a health care education simulation center, using the collaborative and cost effective consortium model. The book takes the reader step-by-step through the process of building a coalition of key stakeholders, gathering and analyzing data, assigning leadership roles within the consortium, developing a strategic plan, and implementing and sustaining it. Case studies in each chapter provide real-life insight from a successful existing consortium by examining how it operates and highlighting successes, mistakes, and lessons learned. Key Features: Demonstrates the financial benefits of expense-sharing Co-written by a successful professional educator and a prominent business leader with consortia-building expertise Provides step-by-step plans for building and maintaining momentum and sustainability Includes useful tools for achieving and evaluating excellence Written for nursing and healthcare administrators, managers, educational leaders, and regional community leaders

The Language of Outsourced Call Centers
Author: Eric Friginal
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027223084
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
The Language of Outsourced Call Centers is the first book to explore a large-scale corpus representing the typical kinds of interactions and communicative tasks in outsourced call centers located in the Philippines and serving American customers. The specific goals of this book are to conduct a corpus-based register comparison between outsourced call center interactions, face-to-face American conversations, and spontaneous telephone exchanges; and to study the dynamics of cross-cultural communication between Filipino call center agents and American callers, as well as other demographic groups of participants in outsourced call center transactions, e.g., gender of speakers, agents' experience and performance, and types of transactional tasks. The research design relies on a number of analytical approaches, including corpus linguistics and discourse analysis, and combines quantitative and qualitative examination of linguistic data in the investigation of the frequency distribution and functional characteristics of a range of lexico/syntactic features of outsourced call center discourse.
