Medical decisions are made on the basis of critical thinking, and clinical judgments are based on the relevancy of the collected data. Medical decisions and clinical judgments are the results of the long thought process generated from formal learning, data from guidelines and practice standards, experience, an understanding of the incidence of disease in the population that the patient represents, and the likelihood of a disease being present in a specific patient. 

This book introduces and encourages the concept of evidence-based patient care. This work presents the ideology and methodology of critical thinking and also the available evidence, management and cost effectives across the field.  Evidence-Based Cardiology is aimed at any clinician who encounters a cardiac patient from the Clerk to the Internist to the Practicing Physician, encouraging disease management decisions to be based on the highest level of evidence

 Occupational Therapy Essentials for clinical Competence
Occupational Therapy Essentials for Clinical Competence
Karen Sladyk; Karen Jacobs; Nancy MacRae
ISBN-13: 978-1-55642-819-7
ISBN-10: 1-55642-819-7
©2009 | 1st Edition | 672 pages , Hardcover
Status: November 2009
Price: US$ 67.95

 

The occupational therapy profession has seen many textbooks on a wide range of topics, but never has a text used the ACOTE Accreditation Standards as a blueprint, incorporating them as a way to intricately outline a plan of action for the current practice of occupational therapy. 

Occupational Therapy Essentials for Clinical Competence begins by linking the ACOTE Accreditation Standards with current practice in chapters for students and educators. With 50 expert contributors, this forward-thinking text sets the stage with two foundational concepts vital to the study of occupation: flow and culture.

Led by nationally renowned authors, Karen Sladyk, Karen Jacobs, and Nancy MacRae, Occupational Therapy Essentials for Clinical Competence presents a summary of interconnected constructs that define and direct occupational therapy practice.

Inside you will find:

  • Basic tenets of occupational therapy
  • Occupational therapy theoretical perspectives
  • Screening, evaluation, and referral
  • Formulation and implementation of an intervention plan
  • Context of service delivery
  • Management of occupational therapy services
  • Professional ethics, values, and responsibilities
  • Culture and its role in occupational choice and performance

Occupational Therapy Essentials for Clinical Competence also includes student activities at the end of each chapter, as well as on-line material that consists of multiple choice questions, chapter objectives, teacher activities, and PowerPoint slides.

Some Additional Features Include:

  • Examples as viewed and analyzed from multiple perspectives
  • Evidence-based practice reviews that provide a starting point to have each topic explored in depth
  • Evaluation of the mastery of application and self-assessment exercises
  • Integration throughout the text of Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process, Second Edition

Occupational Therapy Essentials for Clinical Competence incorporates adult learning theory as its basis to assist in establishing cognitive interest. All occupational therapists will welcome this unique organizational format of grouping concepts together to reinforce and facilitate learning.

From the Foreword by Charles Christiansen:
“This textbook… edited by highly respected leaders in the field… is appropriately and cleverly organized around the essentials of competence in the occupational therapy process. It did not escape my notice that the array of possibilities presented is balanced and reflects the opportunities that are available for using situations (contexts, environments, activities, and people) to provide competent care. The toolkit of options available…for implementing the plan of care as presented here is comprehensive and represents a formidable and significant part of the book.”

 

  

Spinal Manual Therapy: An Introduction to Soft Tissue mobilization, Apinal Manipulation, Therapeutic and Home Exercises

ISBN-13: 978-1-55642-882-1
ISBN-10: 1-55642-882-0
©2009 | 2nd Edition | 320 pages , Hardcover
Status: November 2009
Price: US$ 55.95

 

Spinal Manual Therapy: An Introduction to Soft Tissue Mobilization, Spinal Manipulation, Therapeutic and Home Exercises, Second Edition is an easy-to-follow manual of clinical techniques for the spine, pelvis, and temporomandibular joint. The text provides “tools” rather than “recipes” and immerses the reader in the process of “thinking as a manual therapist,” rather than functioning as a technician. The clinical utility of this revised second edition combines the art and science of present day spinal manual therapy.

The focus of Spinal Manual Therapy, Second Edition is to provide clinically useful treatment techniques, while being mindful of the scientific literature related to the practice of spinal manual therapy. It is an ideal resource for all those interested in grasping the basics of spinal manual therapy and transferring that knowledge into practice within a clinical environment.

The hands-on approach taken by Dr. Howard W. Makofsky makes this new edition the go-to textbook for spinal manual therapy.

New to the Second Edition:

  • New pictures of examination and treatment techniques with captions
  • Additional case studies
  • New evidence supporting spinal manual therapy
  • Updated references throughout the text

This unique textbook has a plethora of clinical techniques, including the rationale for each of their use. With over 300 figures, illustrations, and photographs for each examination/treatment technique for various regions of the body, students and clinicians learning manual therapy will benefit greatly from Spinal Manual Therapy, Second Edition.

Inside you’ll find:

  • Evaluation
  • Soft tissue techniques
  • Manipulative procedures
  • Specific exercises
  • Clinical problem solving

Spinal Manual Therapy, Second Edition mirrors a course on the introduction to spinal manual therapy and will be welcomed into physical therapy curriculums, as well as appreciated by clinicians when entering clinical practice.

Reviews from previous edition:

“…helps the reader to examine the patient using good manual skills to detect and treat somatic dysfunctions. I found it very interesting…the pictures are wonderfully helpful in demonstrating techniques and demonstrating exercises.”

- Diane J. Cordeiro, PT, OCS, CFMT, Advance for Physical Therapists and PT Assistants

“Spinal Manual Therapy is both comprehensive and user friendly. The plethora of figures will greatly enhance the learning experience. However, the quality of Spinal Manual Therapy surpasses solely that of the student level. In fact, new graduates, novices, and clinicians with limited exposure to orthopaedic manual therapy will greatly benefit from this book.”

- Jessica Palmer, SPT and Joshua Cleland, DPT, OCS, The Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy
