Domestic Violence Screening and Intervention in Medical and Mental Healthcare Settings

By: Mary Beth Phelan, MD,L. Kevin Hamberger, PhD

Despite the need and the potential for healthcare providers to play an active role in prevention and intervention into domestic violence, there is little evidence that they are doing so in large numbers or systematic ways. This book reviews the literature on screening, identification, intervention, and prevention of partner violence across healthcare specialties and disciplines to benefit the development of effective domestic violence prevention programs. Primary care, psychiatric and mental health care, emergency department settings as well as subspecialties such as emergency rooms, ophthalmology, and infectious disease are considered.

By: William K. Cors,Mary J Hoppa, MD, MBA,Mary J. Hoppa,Richard A. Sheff

You are a great clinician. But do you have the tools to become a great leader? Physicians who accept or are assigned leadership positions are too often left on their own to develop leadership skills and educate themselves on their responsibilities as medical staff leaders.

Get practical answers for physicians in leadership. The Medical Staff Leaders' Practical Guide, Sixth Edition provides direction for physician leaders in hospitals--those who remain primarily clinicians, but who also accept positions of leadership in the hospital or medical staff organization. It gives an overview of physician leaders' roles and responsibilities in credentialing, privileging, bylaws development, performance improvement, physician management, and board/physician relations. Completely revamped and updated, this essential resource for medical staff leaders includes: - Tools and information needed to fulfill leadership responsibilities for all medical staff leaders, including directors of medical staff offices, vice presidents of medical affairs, medical staff presidents, credentials committee chairs and members, and committee and department chairs - Expanded analysis and strategies for overcoming current medical staff leadership challenges, including merger issues, medical staff development plans, physician practice evaluations, assessing and improving clinical competence, and more - Guidance and how-to advice on creating a positive medical staff culture, minimizing distrust or conflict, and improving policies - Tips and insights from experienced medical staff leaders currently working in hospitals How do you keep up with evolving roles?

This practical guide includes in-depth reviews of the top five medical staff leadership responsibilities: - Medical staff structure and governance - Credentialing and privileging - Peer review and performance improvement - Hospital-medical staff collaboration - Medical staff culture Rise to the challenge of leadership! Written by experienced medical staff leaders currently working in hospitals, The Medical Staff Leaders' Practical Guide, Sixth Edition, gives physicians the tools they need to meet the challenges of a leadership role.

Stealing Dreams

A Fertility Clinic Scandal

By: Mary Dodge,Gilbert Geis

When three whistle-blowers informed authorities and the media in 1995 that doctors at the prestigious and lucrative Center for Reproductive Health -- a fertility clinic operated by the University of California, Irvine (UCI) -- were taking eggs from some women and implanting them into others without donor consent, a scandal unfolded that ended careers, destroyed reputations, and forever altered the lives of many families. This first incident of egg and embryo theft, as well as claims of insurance fraud, research misconduct, and misappropriation of funds, grabbed headlines around the world and was featured on television programs from Primetime to The Oprah Winfrey Show. By the time the scandal had subsided several years later, two of the clinic's preeminent physicians had fled the country to avoid prosecution, one doctor was convicted on criminal charges in a highly controversial trial, and UCI had paid over twenty million dollars to settle laws suits filed by former patients. The full story behind the much-publicized case is unveiled for the first time in this riveting book. The authors untangle an intricate web of repeated cover-ups, scapegoats, evasions, self-interest, nastiness, and injustice. They scrutinize how a complex interplay of circumstances set the stage for wrongdoing at the clinic, reveal how the dramatic events were played out on both the public and legal battlefields, and examine the personal histories, motivations, and actions of the major players-the physicians, the whistle-blowers, the claimants, the lawyers, the various investigatory committees, the overzealous media, and UCI administrators. Stealing Dreams provides an absorbing, evenhanded look at the evolution of the fertility clinic scandal and illuminates the complex ethical, medical, and legal issues surrounding the largely unregulated field of reproductive medicine.

Prison Law

By: Mary Rogan

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Prison Law

By: Mary Rogan

Prison litigation is becoming increasingly common in Ireland. Prison numbers are at an all-time high and conditions in many Irish prisons have been criticised by international and domestic human rights bodies, such as the Irish Penal Reform Trust and the Inspector of Prisons who have voiced concern about the lack of accountability for decisions taken by prison administrators on issues such as discipline, transfers and release. The rights of prisoners are a key focus of the book. These rights are examined in relation to prison conditions, contact with the outside world, discipline, remission, transfer and release. Prison Law analyses practical issues that prison law practitioners are likely to come up against, such as causes of action, evidential difficulties and time limits. Written from both a domestic and international perspective, the book sets out the position in Irish prisons of particular groups including women, children, foreign prisoners and those from an ethnic minority background and identifies areas in which the treatment of prisoners gives rise to concerns under the Constitution or the European Convention on Human Rights. The most up to date book in this legal area, Prison Law also includes an appendix setting out the fully consolidated Prison Rules 2007-2013.

Our Inactive Medical and Judicial Systems

How to Litigate Against an Incompetent Attorney

By: Mary Sansiviero

The true story you are about to read is an attempt by the writer to balance the unplanned, deep challenges faced when thrown into the legal and medical arenas. The writer will give a blistering account of her struggle against injustice due to legal and medical incompetence. I hope that this true story will continue to remain a harsh reminder of just how vulnerable we, the public, are in the hands of our medical and judicial systems. Trusting this narrative will be timely for those who are presently involved in litigation or who may very well become involved in the future.

A Family Practice

The Russell Doctors and the Evolving Business of Medicine, 1799-1989

By: William D. Lindsey,William L. Russell,Mary L. Ryan

A Family Practice is the sweeping saga of four generations of doctors, Russell men seeking innovative ways to sustain themselves as medical practitioners in the American South from the early nineteenth to the latter half of the twentieth century. The thread that binds the stories in this saga is one of blood, of medical vocations passed from fathers to sons and nephews. This study of four generations of Russell doctors is an historical study with a biographical thread running through it. The authors take a wide-ranging look at the meaning of intergenerational vocations and the role of family, the economy, and social issues on the evolution of medical education and practice in the United States.
