At least that's what Ralph Waldo Emerson said. If that is true, then you should really stop and ask yourself, What am I thinking about right now? And if you take a moment to really do that, then the title of this book will make sense to you. So often, we simply react to what is going on around us, and while we do think when we react, we often do not critically think, because if we did, we would respond and not react. When I was in the Navy, I was taught to work the problem, which meant to stop, look around, use whatever tools were available and figure out a solution. In fact, that's pretty much what I do today; I am a problem solver. I find solutions to problems that are oftentimes complex and illusive, and I often do it by just standing there -- taking a breath, looking at the information that is available to me and then making the best decision possible. Does it always work out the way I would like? Nope. But the outcome is positive a whole lot more often than it is negative, and that's because I have reduced the uncertainty around the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of this book is to show you how to reduce the uncertainty around the decisions you make, thereby increasing the likelihood of a positive outcome. The way to do this is to understand the process of critical thinking and evidence-based practice. Being an evidence-based thinker means being able to wade through the masses of information and data and bring to the table something that we can use to make better decisions. And evidence-based decisions will more often than not result in positive management outcomes. So, welcome to my world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd remember, don't do something, just stand there.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51037274112273,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51037276995857,"sku":"NIN9781568296753","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52670972723473,"sku":"NLS9781568296753","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1568296754.jpg?v=1750719722"},{"product_id":"lean-six-sigma-for-the-medical-practice-improving-profitability-by-improving-pro-book-frank-cohen-9780976834397","title":"Lean Six SIGMA for the Medical Practice: Improving Profitability by Improving Processes","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith medical practices facing financial challenges - and lagging 20 years behind other businesses in using Lean Six Sigma to drive profits, Greenbranch Publishing announces a book by Frank Cohen, and Owen Dahl, Lean Six Sigma for the Medical Practice - Improving Profitability by Improving Processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is written to translate Lean Six Sigma principles, and to provide the tools, specifically needed for the real-world medical practice environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on his involvement with over 2,000 medical practices, author and Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt Frank Cohen empowers practices - and their advisors - to use 24 process improvement tools to boost efficiency so more of the revenues that come in go directly to the bottom line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat types of improvements can practices make?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrevent medical mistakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eImprove patient care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecrease mortality rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse analytics to identify inconsistent behavior by payers - so practices can hold payers' feet to the fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse process improvement to help practices reduce denials by upwards of 50%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse techniques to improve both patient satisfaction and staff morale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eEliminate bottlenecks in your practice and use metrics to make smart practice improvement decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eOver the past 20 years, Lean and Six Sigma approaches have created profit breakthroughs for other types of businesses.

It is a subset of a larger group of symptoms called the insulin resistance syndrome. The condition leads to high circulating levels of insulin, and stimulates the formation of new fatty tissues, thus accelerating weight gain and leading to obesity. Insulin resistance is also associated with insulin resistance syndrome or metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance syndrome refers to an aggregate of five known medical conditions- high blood sugar, central obesity, high blood pressure, high serum triglycerides and low serum high-density lipoprotein. It is generally considered a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The nature of the development of this syndrome is still an area of active medical research. It often affects older obese adults having a degree of insulin resistance and leading a sedentary life. Whether insulin resistance or obesity triggers metabolic syndrome or if they are consequences of a complex metabolic derangement is a subject of study. Each disorder manifested in metabolic syndrome is treated separately. Hypertension is treated using ACE inhibitors and diuretics, and cholesterol drugs are prescribed to manage abnormal levels of triglycerides and LDL\/HDL cholesterol. Restricting the intake of carbohydrate in food is recommended for the management of both insulin resistance and insulin resistance syndrome. The topics included in this book on insulin resistance and insulin resistance syndrome are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52752398876945,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52752399597841,"sku":"NIN9781632429537","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781632429537.jpg?v=1763561455"},{"product_id":"insulin-resistance-the-metabolic-syndrome-book-frank-cohen-9781632419071","title":"Insulin Resistance: The Metabolic Syndrome","description":"Insulin is a protein hormone which is produced by the beta cells of pancreatic islets; it is the main anabolic hormone of the body. By absorbing carbohydrate especially glucose from the blood into liver fat and skeleton muscle cell, it regulates metabolism of carbohydrate fat and protein. Main purpose of insulin is to control the glucose level in the body. Insulin resistance is a pathological condition characterized by the failure of body cells to respond normally to the hormone insulin. In insulin resistance, the cells become less effective to lower the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Causes of insulin resistance include molecular mechanism, sedentary lifestyle, protease inhibitors, HCV, genetics, etc. The symptoms of insulin resistance are hyperglycemia, high blood sugar level, fatigue, brain fogginess, high blood pressure, polydipsia, polyphagia etc. Risk factors associated with insulin resistance are obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, liver pathologies, hemochromatosis, gastropareses, and polycystic ovary syndrome. The treatment of insulin resistance includes exercise and weight loss. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of insulin resistance. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on insulin resistance have been included in this book. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52752410607889,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52752411263249,"sku":"NIN9781632419071","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781632419071.jpg?v=1763561493"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-frank-cohen.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
