The violence, confl icts, senseless wars, divorces and many other evil activities against each other globally is the lack of patience. The world is facing such atrocities and wickedness because of selfishness, greed, then also people are not ready to understand each other. This small book exposes some of the weaknesses that fi ght against our patience and some strengths which can enhance our patience. It is a book for all who are ready to notice how our impatience can destroy good intentions and also how we can build a society who are ready to embrace each other regardless of colour, religion, age, or sex. Even though the book targets Christians, I should think that politicians, statesmen, married couples, legal institutions and other stakeholders can largely benefi t from reading it.

For all the political branding and rebranding of healthcare in the United States, its fundamental unit of currency remains the doctor-patient relationship. This relationship has undergone seismic changes during the twenty-first century, including the introduction of new players (the so-called healthcare "team") and care delivery in settings like big-box stores and bureaucratic health systems. But are any of us better off? NEXT IN LINE is the first book to examine the doctor-patient relationship in the context of its new environs, in particular the impact of efficiency-driven innovation and retail-care models on physician mindsets and the patient experience. The overall picture is one of lowered expectations-a transactional, impersonal, and institutionally-limited incarnation of the medical bedside that leaves all parties underwhelmed and overstressed. By first conducting a macro-analysis of key industry trends (including the widespread use of performance metrics and retail principles), then measuring these trends' impacts through interviews with physicians and patients, NEXT IN LINE is both an examination and a critique of a care system at a crossroads. It is essential reading for understanding why relational care matters -- and why it must be saved in a corporatized health system bent on using retail approaches to deliver care.

Patient-controlled personal health records are the key to successful interaction between physician and patient. They form the core for joined-up communication throughout health organizations. Still, the very name is capable of alarming both patient and doctor. Are they reliable? Are they complete? Are they confidential? Where do you access them? For the doctor, additional concerns surround the implementation: how do you include these online tools in your busy schedule? How much will they add to your existing spend on information technology? Can you get paid for doing all this extra work? Now you can find dependable answers to all of these questions. Written by a physician who has developed his own personal health records software for patients and doctors to interact, Personal Health Records: A Guide for Clinicians explains how to get the best from your patient's records and how to put the information to good use, helping both your patient and yourself to a more effective and efficient outcome in any clinical situation. “The author is a clinical academic, patient and pioneer in his field and does a grand job of explaining the ins and outs of PHRs in a non-patronising manner for the non-tech savvy” – From a review published in Health Services Journal by: Dr Emma Stanton, Commonwealth Fund Harkness Fellow and Specialist Registrar at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust

Modern technology has impacted healthcare and interactions between patients and healthcare providers through a variety of means including the internet, social media, mobile devices, and the internet of things. These new technologies have empowered, frustrated, educated, and confused patients by making educational materials more widely available and allowing patients to monitor their own vital signs and self-diagnose. Further analysis of these and future technologies is needed in order to provide new approaches to empowerment, reduce mistakes, and improve overall healthcare. Impacts of Information Technology on Patient Care and Empowerment is a critical scholarly resource that delves into patient access to information and the effect that access has on their relationship with healthcare providers and their health outcomes. Featuring a range of topics such as gamification, mobile computing, and risk analysis, this book is ideal for healthcare practitioners, doctors, nurses, surgeons, hospital staff, medical administrators, patient advocates, researchers, academicians, policymakers, and healthcare students.
