Description
Effective leadership is critical to ensuring safety, efficiency and maximum productivity in the operating room (OR). This practical, evidence-based book unpicks the dynamics of a successful OR environment to underline the key techniques for management of policies, systems, staff members and teams. Fully updated to include recent clinical guidelines, the book provides the ‘A-Z’ of OR management, including sections on metrics, scheduling, human resource management, leadership principles, economics, quality assurance, recovery and ambulatory practice. New chapters include future healthcare models, emergency preparedness and budgets amongst other topics. Written by authors with unrivalled experience in the field, chapters are laid out in an easy and clinically helpful format to assist learning, and real-life case studies cover seventy-three different clinically relevant pain topics. This book is an essential guide for anyone working in the OR including anaesthesiologists, surgeons, nurses, and administrators.
Reviews
The Davis Drug Guide will always be my go to for IN-DEPTH med info, but so far, I am liking the Mosby’s Pharm NoteCards. I am a nursing student and I’m using this to cement the information I learned in my nursing previous nursing courses and most recently taken pharmacology course (being that it was a 6-week summer course, we did not have enough time to go as in depth as I would have liked). Book is nicely sized to carry with you when you feel like studying on a whim, not sure you’d like in in your pocket at clinical though, nor is it easy to flip through. I do wish the specific medications were highlighted or bold, since they do tend to blend into the page (example: anti-hypertensives on information page; see picture #4) but I do like how it is specific to nursing care for a patient on these drugs. The cartoon drawings help, but sometimes they have little tid-bits that are there merely for humor. Don’t waste my brain space! haha Nursing student problems 🙂 It bugged me that no one had posted a picture of the book itself, so this is basically my motivation for the review. I will possibly update after the summer once I have had a solid chance to really read through it. Hope this helps!
