More Mock Tracers

Tracer methodology is the cornerstone of The Joint Commission on-site accreditation survey process. So what's the best way for health care professionals to learn about tracers? Practice. Even More Mock Tracers will help health care organizations use mock (practice) tracers to identify unrecognized compliance and patient safety issues and implement changes as part of an ongoing improvement process--before a survey takes place. This easy-to-follow practical tool offers a wealth of sample tracers, called scenarios. These address issues in all domestic and international program settings: hospital and critical access hospital, ambulatory care and office-based surgery, behavioral health care, home care, and long term care, and laboratory. An additional section contains scenarios focusing on the environment of care. Not only will the workbook help familiarize staff with all aspects of tracers, it will also serve as a resource and training tool for conducting mock tracers in any health care organization. Special Features: A 10-step tutorial on how to conduct mock tracers Sample tracer questions keyed to the tracer scenarios Worksheet template to help users develop their own mock tracers Examples of completed mock tracer worksheets

More Mock Tracers, a follow-up to the best-selling Mock Tracer Workbook, presents a new collection of practical, easy-to-understand instructions and exercises to help health care professionals conduct an effective tracer in any health care setting. Health care organizations can use tracers the way surveyors do -- to evaluate an individual's care or a specific care process as part of a system -- to examine their own systems and processes, identify unwanted trends, and implement changes as part of an ongoing improvement process.

"Tracer methodology is a key part of The Joint Commission's on-site accreditation and certification survey process. So what's the best way for health care professionals to learn about tracers? PRACTICE. The Joint Commission Big Book of More Tracer Questions helps you do just that. A companion to the best-selling Joint Commission Big Book of Tracer Questions, this book follows up with more than 2,000 MORE questions to choose from to use during your mock tracers. Customers asked for new questions related to the most challenging Joint Commission standards, as well as questions on topics not covered in the original book, such as medication compounding and disease-specific care. We delivered on that request with The Joint Commission Big Book of More Tracer Questions. Buy this follow-up title and continue to build your mock tracer question library. The book features a mock tracer template that integrates the concepts of the Survey Analysis for Evaluating Risk (SAFER) Matrix. This allows you to more accurately capture and respond to the scope of noncompliance and likelihood to harm in a way that simulates an actual survey"--Publisher's description.

A workbook that can help health care organizations use mock (practice) tracers to identify unrecognised environment of care (EC), emergency management (EM), and life safety (LS) compliance and safety issues and implement changes as part of an ongoing improvement process-before a survey takes place.

Tracer methodology is the cornerstone of The Joint Commission on-site accreditation survey process. So what's the best way for health care professionals to learn about tracers? Practice. The Medication Management Tracer Workbook will help health care organizations use mock (practice) tracers to identify unrecognized medication management compliance and patient safety issues and implement changes as part of an ongoing improvement process--before a survey takes place. This easy-to-follow practical tool offers a wealth of sample tracers, called scenarios. These address medication management issues in all domestic and international program settings: hospital and critical access hospital, ambulatory care, behavioral health care, home care, and long term care. Not only will the workbook help familiarize staff with all aspects of tracers, it will also serve as a resource and training tool for conducting mock tracers in any health care organization. Special Features: A 10-step tutorial on how to conduct mock tracers Sample tracer questions keyed to the tracer scenarios Worksheet template to help users develop their own mock tracers Examples of completed mock tracer worksheets Appendixes listing medication management standards and NPSG goals

In the past few years, the number of applications of tracers for in vivo biomedical studies has greatly increased. New analytical tools at the genetic and protein levels have spurred this growth, opening the door for a deeper understanding of metabolic events. This in turn promises to yield significant advances in the understanding and treatment of human disease. Now fully revised and expanded, Isotope Tracers in Metabolic Research, Second Edition is the established definitive text on stable and radioactive isotope tracers. In unique, multidisciplinary fashion, it presents comprehensive coverage of new methodological, mathematical, and theoretical approaches. This new Second Edition includes: All-new chapters on nuclear magnetic resonance, mass isotopomer analysis, and methods of protein metabolism analysis A completely updated categorized list of over 750 references Major advances in the development of mass isotopomer and positional isotopomer techniques, noninvasive isotope techniques for studying metabolic pathways, hyphenated techniques, and new tracer techniques The latest developments in quantification of DNA synthesis and mass spectrometry spurred by genome sequencing and proteomics New coverage of mathematical modeling Expanded coverage of microdialysis probes, laboratory procedures, and regulatory issues related to human studies In this complete guide to performing tracer studies, the authors systematically cover tracer selection, modeling considerations, sample derivitization, mass spectrometry analysis, and data interpretation. Problems and discussion questions highlight key points in each chapter. Isotope Tracers in Metabolic Research, Second Edition offers students and researchers a comprehensive, practical resource for utilizing the latest tracer methodologies.
