The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.

"Health care plays a massive societal role. It is complex, and it is growing. Defining trends of the last decade have fundamentally altered the traditional dynamics of the field. A global pandemic is the current agent of disruption. The New Health Economy: Ground Rules for Leaders explores the impact of the 4Ps that influence the health economy - Politics, Policy, Providers and Personalization - in aggregate. While many books in the field consider one angle, this is the first book to represent the authors' 360-degree view, informed by case study interviews with 13 key leaders in health systems, provider networks, pharmaceuticals (Pfizer and J&J), insurers, public policy, the private sector (Walmart) and government agencies like the CDC. With expertise spanning clinical advancement and scientific discovery, health services and the health economy, health care politics and health financing and policy, and healt hcare digitization and data-driven personalization, Bisbee, Jain, and Trigg have worked and lived in health care for decades. They partner with executives across the health economy to help them navigate the intersectional forces of change every day. The New Health Economy, it is hoped, will play a critical role in sharing their collective insights to an even broader segment of leaders who are similarly making tough decisions that will redefine the future of health care in the years to come"--

Translated into 7 languages, this work distinguishes itself from other public health textbooks, which are either highly locally oriented or, if international, lack the specificity of local issues relevant to students' understanding of applied public health in their own setting. This 3e provides a unified approach to public health appropriate for all masters' level students and practitioners—specifically for courses in MPH programs, community health and preventive medicine programs, community health education programs, and community health nursing programs, as well as programs for other medical professionals such as pharmacy, physiotherapy, and other public health courses.

Drawing on the work of the Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine, the 2007 IOM Annual Meeting assessed some of the rapidly occurring changes in health care related to new diagnostic and treatment tools, emerging genetic insights, the developments in information technology, and healthcare costs, and discussed the need for a stronger focus on evidence to ensure that the promise of scientific discovery and technological innovation is efficiently captured to provide the right care for the right patient at the right time. As new discoveries continue to expand the universe of medical interventions, treatments, and methods of care, the need for a more systematic approach to evidence development and application becomes increasingly critical. Without better information about the effectiveness of different treatment options, the resulting uncertainty can lead to the delivery of services that may be unnecessary, unproven, or even harmful. Improving the evidence-base for medicine holds great potential to increase the quality and efficiency of medical care. The Annual Meeting, held on October 8, 2007, brought together many of the nation's leading authorities on various aspects of the issues - both challenges and opportunities - to present their perspectives and engage in discussion with the IOM membership.
