Patients at Risk: The Rise of the Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant in Healthcare exposes a vast conspiracy of political maneuvering and corporate greed that has led to the replacement of qualified medical professionals by lesser trained practitioners. As corporations seek to save money and government agencies aim to increase constituent access, minimum qualifications for the guardians of our nation’s healthcare continue to decline—with deadly consequences. This is a story that has not yet been told, and one that has dangerous repercussions for all Americans. With the rate of nurse practitioner and physician assistant graduates exceeding that of physician graduates, if you are not already being treated by a non-physician, chances are, you soon will be. While advocates for these professions insist that research shows that they can provide the same care as physicians, patients do not know the whole truth: that there are no credible scientific studies to support the safety and efficacy of non-physicians practicing without physician supervision. Written by two physicians who have witnessed the decline of medical expertise over the last twenty years, this data-driven book interweaves heart-rending true patient stories with hard data, showing how patients have been sacrificed for profit by the substitution of non-physician practitioners. Adding a dimension neglected by modern healthcare critiques such as An American Sickness, this book provides a roadmap for patients to protect themselves from medical harm. WORDS OF PRAISE and REVIEWS Al-Agba and Bernard tell a frightening story that insiders know all too well. As mega corporations push for efficiency and tout consumer focused retail services, American healthcare is being dumbed down to the point of no return. It's a story that many media outlets are missing and one that puts you and your family's health at real risk. --John Irvine, Deductible Media Laced with actual patient cases, the book’s data and patterns of large corporations replacing physicians with non-physician practitioners, despite the vast difference in training is enlightening and astounding. The authors' extensively researched book methodically lays out the problems of our changing medical care landscape and solutions to ensure quality care. --Marilyn M. Singleton, MD, JD A masterful job of bringing to light a rapidly growing issue of what should be great concern to all of us: the proliferation of non-physician practitioners that work predominantly inside algorithms rather than applying years of training, clinical knowledge, and experience. Instead of a patient-first mentality, we are increasingly met with the sad statement of Profits Over Patients, echoed by hospitals and health insurance companies. --John M. Chamberlain, MHA, LFACHE, Board Chairman, Citizen Health A must read for patients attempting to navigate today’s healthcare marketplace. --Brian Wilhelmi MD, JD, FASA

Hospital staff and caregivers are regularly exposed to biomechanical overload risk, particularly at spine and shoulder level—a risk factor that will continue to rise with the progressive aging of the population. Patient Handling in the Healthcare Sector: A Guide for Risk Management with MAPO Methodology (Movement and Assistance of Hospital Patients) details the analysis of patient handling risk using the MAPO method in different areas of healthcare and helps you develop strategies to mitigate them. Focusing on the organization of work, this approach gives you the tools to: Rapidly analyse the problem Rapidly identify solutions Effectively monitor the results of preventive actions One of the special features of this approach is that it employs tools that allow you to allocate financial resources to estimate what investments are needed to achieve specific results. This means taking the decision-making process out of the hands of ergonomics experts and putting it into those of healthcare facility administrators.

This book describes the approach to anesthetic and perioperative management in different categories of high-risk patient scheduled to undergo elective noncardiac surgery. Individual sections focus on patients with conditions entailing cardiac and hemodynamic risks, respiratory risks, renal and metabolic risks, neurological risks, and other forms of risk. For each condition, up-to-date guidance is provided on risk evaluation, risk stratification, and intraoperative and postoperative anesthetic management. This is the first time that such different clinical situations have been gathered together in a single textbook of anesthesiology. All of the authors are international experts with extensive clinical experience. The aim is to provide trainee anesthesiologists with clear guidance that will prove invaluable when managing a wide range of patients with serious illnesses or conditions that pose a significant anesthetic risk. The book will also serve as a valuable reference for more experienced anesthesiologists and intensivists.

"When you experience a medical emergency, you expect to be treated by a licensed physician with expertise in your condition. But what happens when you look up from your hospital gurney to find that the doctor has been replaced by a non-physician practitioner with just a fraction of the training and experience? From the co-author of Patients at Risk: The Rise of the Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant in Healthcare, the first book to warn about the systematic replacement of physicians, comes Patients at Risk: Imposter Doctors, an even more frightening expos of patient endangerment at the hands of for-profit corporate entities and healthcare conglomerates. In the two years since Patients at Risk debuted, the use of nonphysician practitioners has skyrocketed. Employment of nurse practitioners is projected to grow by 40% and physician assistants by 28% in the next ten years. At the same time, the employment of physicians and surgeons is projected to grow just 3%. In other words, if you haven t already been treated by a nonphysician practitioner instead of a physician, you soon will be. The disproportionate growth in healthcare providers reflects thirty years of U.S. healthcare policy, as influenced by nonphysician lobbyists and corporate strategists. While corporations and government agencies argue that they have been forced to hire nurse practitioners and physician assistants due to a supposed physician shortage, the truth is far more sinister. Physicians are being systematically fired and replaced by lesser trained clinicians for one simple reason: to make money. Advocates for nonphysician practice claim that there is no need for concern because nurse practitioners and physician assistants are just as good as physicians. They are wrong. Despite over fifty years of scientific analysis of the care provided by nonphysicians, there is no conclusive evidence that nonphysician practitioners can provide safe and effective medical care without physician oversight. In fact, new studies have shown the opposite: that the replacement of physicians puts patients at risk. The book Imposter Doctors exposes the dangers of a healthcare system that increasingly prioritizes profits over patient care. The only cure for today s healthcare crisis is for patients to become informed about who is providing their care. They must know the difference in training and education, and they must demand answers from those who would deprive them of physician-led care"--

Risk management is now a major issue in health care, aimed at reducing the likelihood of harming patients during treatment, minimising trauma to those who are affected, and controlling the possibility of subsequent litigation. Written by leading specialists in clinical risk management from the United Kingdom and the United States, and with chapters by clinicians in the key specialties, this comprehensive text takes a positive approach. It addresses means of improving the quality of care, and places special emphasis on occasions when patients may be harmed or disturbed by treatment. In three sections it provides a full guide to the principles of risk management, reducing the risk in clinical practice, and implementing risk management. The last section includes chapters on investigation of complaints; caring for patients; supporting staff; and claims management. This timely book will provide all the information needed by risk managers, hospital managers, doctors, and nurses to recognise potential clinical risks and deal in the optimum way with any claims that may arise. It will also be of interest to lawyers and academics concerned with the impact of litigation on clinical practice.

How eliminating “risk illiteracy” among doctors and patients will lead to better health care decision making. Contrary to popular opinion, one of the main problems in providing uniformly excellent health care is not lack of money but lack of knowledge—on the part of both doctors and patients. The studies in this book show that many doctors and most patients do not understand the available medical evidence. Both patients and doctors are “risk illiterate”—frequently unable to tell the difference between actual risk and relative risk. Further, unwarranted disparity in treatment decisions is the rule rather than the exception in the United States and Europe. All of this contributes to much wasted spending in health care. The contributors to Better Doctors, Better Patients, Better Decisions investigate the roots of the problem, from the emphasis in medical research on technology and blockbuster drugs to the lack of education for both doctors and patients. They call for a new, more enlightened health care, with better medical education, journals that report study outcomes completely and transparently, and patients in control of their personal medical records, not afraid of statistics but able to use them to make informed decisions about their treatments.
