Living Smart

Five Essential Skills to Change Your Health Habits Forever

By: Joshua C. Klapow,Sheri D. Pruitt

The myriad of books and programs that encourage people to stop smoking, get organized, spend less, or exercise more tend to focus on what or why to change, but rarely explain how to change. Living SMART provides this missing piece. Developed by two behavioral psychologists, the program offers a set of practical tools drawn from science, not faddish ideas, that help readers successfully change any unhealthy behavior. Composed of five essential behavioral initiatives -- Set a goal, Monitor your progress, Arrange your world for success, Recruit a support team, Treat yourself -- the program is built on the idea that successful change takes more than mere motivation. Containing helpful tips, checklists, exercises, and progress charts, this simple, step-by-step book enables readers to take control of their lives and make positive, permanent changes. A companion website provides additional information, tips, and downloadable forms.

Lifestyle change made simple! By following each of the steps outlined in the book, the reader can immediately implement a program to eat better, exercise consistently, and diminish the stress in their lives. If all Americans would follow these important steps, we could reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke dramatically. Robert Pearl, MD, former executive director and CEO of the Permanente Medical Group Anyone interested in changing their lifestyle will be empowered by this book. It is straightforward and easy to read, even though it is based on a scientifically evaluated, conceptually grounded model of behavioral change. Living SMART demystifies health behavior change using information, motivation, and behavioral skills that anyone can learn to improve their health. Jeffrey Fisher, PhD, Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of Psychological Sciences at the University of Connecticut and founding Director of Institute for Collaboration on Health, Intervention, and Policy (InCHIP) Living SMART is an easy-to-follow behavioral program that offers what others do not: a simple approach to changing any unhealthy behavior.

Preparing a Health Care Workforce for the 21st Century

The Challenge of Chronic Conditions

By: Sheri Pruitt,Judith Canny,JoAnne Epping-Jordan

This WHO publication calls for the transformation of healthcare workforce training to better meet the needs of caring for patients with chronic conditions. While the world is experiencing a rapid escalation in chronic health problems training of the healthcare workforce has generally not kept pace. To provide effective care for chronic conditions the skills of health professionals must be expanded to meet these new complexities. The publication presents a new expanded training model based on a set of core competencies that apply to all members of the workforce. First the workforce needs to organize care around the patient or in other words to adopt a patient-centred approach. Second providers need communication skills that enable them to collaborate with others. They need not only to partner with patients but to work closely with other providers and to join with communities to improve outcomes for patients with chronic conditions. Third the workforce needs skills to ensure that the safety and quality of patient care is continuously improved. Fourth the workforce needs competencies in information and communication technology which can assist them in monitoring patients across time in using and sharing information. Finally the workforce needs to adopt a public health perspective in their daily work including the provision of population-based care that is centred around primary health care systems. Each competency is described in detail and supplemented with diverse country examples of how it has been implemented.
