Preventing Hospital Infections

Real-World Problems, Realistic Solutions

By: Jennifer Meddings,Sanjay Saint,Vineet Chopra

Healthcare-associated infection takes a heavy toll on patients, and negatively affects hospitals themselves, both financially and psychologically. Proven technical approaches to prevent infection have often faltered because of the failure of hospital staff to adopt them. This book focuses on these adaptive problems, particularly as experienced during efforts to combat catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), and Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). It provides a step-by-step description of a model quality improvement intervention, explaining why clinicians neglect or actively oppose such initiatives and how to change their minds. The focus is on preventing CAUTI, which has proven far more resistant to quality improvement efforts than CLABSI. The CAUTI intervention framework is also broadly applicable to a variety of other hospital issues including preventing falls and Clostridioides difficile infection. The solutions presented grow out of the extensive research by the clinical authors and their colleagues at the University of Michigan and VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System"--

Dark History of Penn's Woods

Murder, Madness, and Misadventure in Southeastern Pennsylvania

By: Jennifer L. Green

“Dark History of Penn’s Woods is the perfect book to keep you up all night... It’s ghostly, it’s ghastly, and we guarantee some of the included photos will stay with you!” — Philly Mag When ships under the command of white Europeans first sailed into the Delaware Bay in 1609, southeastern Pennsylvania's documented history of the strange and unusual began. This book tackles seven true "dark histories" from Chester and Delaware counties, which include tales of murder, witchcraft, cannibalism, tragic accidents and macabre events that actually happened in the Greater Philadelphia region. All stories are meticulously researched and placed within the greater context of Pennsylvania and world history. For example, the murder of three children by an indentured servant is placed within the context the kidnapping of children into servitude in England for sale to the Americas. The trial and execution of a woman for killing her infants is placed within the context of the rights of women in early America and how the court system failed them. The treatment of witchcraft is placed within the larger relationship of Quakers with the supernatural in Pennsylvania. This is not a book of ghost stories; this is an exploration of the real events that led people to believe in ghosts. It aims to strike a balance between a colloquial work that is accessible by a variety of readers, and an solid academic work.

The Hidden Structure of Violence

Who Benefits from Global Violence and War

By: Marc Pilisuk,Jennifer Achord Rountree

Acts of violence assume many forms: they may travel by the arc of a guided missile or in the language of an economic policy, and they may leave behind a smoldering village or a starved child. The all-pervasiveness of violence makes it seem like an unavoidable, and ultimately incomprehensible, aspect of the modern world. But, in this detailed and expansive book, Marc Pilisuk and Jen Rountree demonstrate otherwise. Widespread violence, they argue, is in fact an expression of the underlying social order, and whether it is carried out by military forces or by patterns of investment, the aim is to strengthen that order for the benefit of the powerful. The Hidden Structure of Violence marshals vast amounts of evidence to examine the costs of direct violence, including military preparedness and the social reverberations of war, alongside the costs of structural violence, expressed as poverty and chronic illness. It also documents the relatively small number of people and corporations responsible for facilitating the violent status quo, whether by setting the range of permissible discussion or benefiting directly as financiers and manufacturers. The result is a stunning indictment of our violent world and a powerful critique of the ways through which violence is reproduced on a daily basis, whether at the highest levels of the state or in the deepest recesses of the mind.
