Thanks to Everyone Who Helped With the TEAM Escape Room!

We put on the escape room again for TEAM. It’s a group that helps to build relationships with transfer students. Lexi Wolkow, who spoke at our SAG meeting last week, contacted us a few weeks ago to see if the escape room could be one of their activities. The students had an absolute great time and thank you to all the volunteers during the event and those who helped with different parts of the prep work!

Health Behavior Change and Treatment Adherence: Evidence-based Guidelines for Improving Healthcare

This book synthesizes the results from an overwhelming number of empirical research articles on adherence and health behavior change, providing simple, powerful, and practical guidance for health professionals. A set of effective evidence-based strategies for putting long-term health-relevant behavioral changes into practice includes the straightforward 3-ingredient Information–Motivation–Strategy model that has been supported by decades of outcomes research. In order to change, individuals must (1) know what change is necessary information; (2) desire the change (motivation); and then (3) have the tools to achieve and maintain the change (strategy).

 

The Invisible Kingdom: Reimagining Chronic Illness

A silent epidemic of chronic illnesses afflicts tens of millions of Americans: these are diseases that are poorly understood, frequently marginalized, and can go undiagnosed and unrecognized altogether. Renowned writer Meghan O’Rourke delivers a revelatory investigation into this elusive category of “invisible” illness that encompasses autoimmune diseases, post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, and now long COVID, synthesizing the personal and the universal to help all of us through this new frontier.

 

 

 

Teaching and Learning in Physical Therapy: From Classroom to Clinic

Contains practical information that allows students, educators, and clinicians to develop optimal instructional strategies in a variety of settings. Clinical scenarios and reflective questions are interspersed throughout, providing opportunities for active learning, critical thinking, and immediate direct application. Grounded in current literature, this edition is geared for physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, students, educators, and other health care professionals. By extending the principles of systematic effective instruction to facilitate critical thinking in the classroom and the clinic, and providing strategies to enhance communication and collaboration, this edition has a strong theoretical basis in reflective practice, active learning strategies, and evidence-based instruction.

New Book Highlight: Economics of Health and Medical Care by Dr. Lanis Hicks

We’ve recently added to our collection the ebook Economics of Health and Medical Care by Dr. Lanis Hicks, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Health Management and Informatics.

Economics of Health and Medical Care is an introduction to population-based health economics as well as the traditional, market-oriented approach to health care economics. The book examines economics through the lens of descriptive, explanatory, and evaluative economics. The Seventh Edition is an extensive revision that reflects the vast changes that have been occurring in the health care industry and in the economy, most notably in the areas for payment systems and quality improvement.

Additionally, the text offers expanded discussion of the impact of the Affordable Care Act on the demand for healthcare services and health insurance, particularly regarding Medicare and Medicaid programs. Evolving issues in healthcare as well as discussion of the implication for efficiency in the production and consumption of healthcare services are covered throughout the text.

You can access the book online.
