About the Book

The Institute of Medicine has put forward a well-conceived and clearly articulated national goal - for each individual to be provided healthcare that is safe, timely, efficient, effective, equitable (just/fair) and patient-centered (STEEEP). The author emphatically concurs with and endorses the Institute of Medicine's logic and goal. The purpose of this concise book is to position each unique individual - you and those near and dear to you - to enable the better angels assembled to care for you provide safe, effective compassionate care. Safer Medical Care for You and Yours - Six Tools for Safe, Effective Compassionate Care provides examples of six tested gift tools for the individual to understand, appreciate and then emulate in her/his uniquely personal manner. The importance of the author's message is augmented and clarified by insightful comments from internist, geriatrician and ethicist Stephen F Hightower MD FACP. The gift tools are as follows:1.My (Unique and Very) Personal Medical Record2.My Chief Complaint (my story - why I am here today)3.My (Unique and Very) Personal HealthCare Values/Wishes4.My HealthCare Power of Attorney (and My Advanced Directives)5.My Personal Professional Patient Advocate (My P3A)6.My Safer Medical Care Emergency Alert System These tools are gifts to you of the peace and tranquility associated with confidence that your care will be safe and effective and your unique and very personal values and wishes will be honored should complex healthcare circumstances arise.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
