Review & Description

This is the second in a series of publications from the Institute of Medicine's Quality of Health Care in America project. Today's health care providers have more research findings and more technology available to them than ever before. Yet recent reports have raised serious doubts about the quality of health care in America. "Crossing the Quality Chasm" makes an urgent call for fundamental change to close the quality gap. This book recommends a sweeping redesign of the American health care system and provides overarching principles for specific direction for policymakers, health care leaders, clinicians, regulators, purchasers, and others. In this comprehensive volume the committee offers: a set of performance expectations for the 21st century health care system; a set of 10 new rules to guide patient-clinician relationships; a suggested organizing framework to better align the incentives inherent in payment and accountability with improvements in quality; and key steps to promote evidence-based practice and strengthen clinical information systems. Analyzing health care organizations as complex systems, "Crossing the Quality Chasm" also documents the causes of the quality gap, identifies current practices that impede quality care, and explores how systems approaches can be used to implement change.

Review & Description

Oral Pathology for the Dental Hygiene is a text that focuses on the topics typically taught in the dental hygiene curriculum, setting this text apart from all other oral pathology texts. It presents the necessary information in a clear, simple manner. Based on suggestions from reviewers of past editions, this book features more user-friendly chapters that have been reorganized to be more efficient and concise, in addition to flowing in a more logical order. It provides readers of varying skill and experience levels with the information necessary to understand, recognize, and evaluate pathologic conditions and diseases likely to be encountered. Full-color, atlas-style text provides the perfect format for a subject requiring so much visual instruction. Clinical photographs, radiographs, and color photomicrographs showcase the diseases and conditions dental hygienists will most likely encounter and treat in practice, as well as helping them learn to identify the appearance of disease formations at the skeletal and cellular levels. Review questions at the end of each chapter help prepare students for taking the national exam and four clinical practicing hygienists.

• Extraordinary illustrations provide the visual documentation needed to identify and further understand the abnormalities in the oral cavity and their effects.
• Well-known and highly regarded, the Olga Ibsen and Joan Phelan team brings credibility and expertise to this text.
• Easy-to-read synopses of diseases and their characteristics appear at the end of the chapters and allow the reader to review critical information in an organized, concise format.
• Focused presentation of material only covers issues that directly affect the dental hygienist role in oral health, taking the guesswork out of determining what facts are pertinent to the practitioner's needs and making it the perfect text for DH oral pathology courses.
• Vocabulary and definitions displayed at the beginning of each chapter help the reader better comprehend the text and grasp the meaning of various terms within the context of discussion.
• Learning objectives present a guide to the expectations and what will be learned in each chapter.
• Review questions help readers evaluate their knowledge of chapter materials, and answers located at the back of the book give immediate feedback, making it easy to refer back for further study.
• A full glossary provides easy access to the information they need about a new term without having to search through the chapter in which the term is located.

• A new student CD-ROM gives students the opportunity to work through case studies from illustrations in the text.
• All photomicrographs and line illustrations are in full color, better enabling identification of cellular structure and key points in the images.
• References have been thoroughly updated to produce the most current material available.

Review & Description

Be sure you have the knowledge you need to become a Certified Dental Assistant or pass your local and state exams! Three simulated practice certification exams - 960 multiple-choice questions in all - closely mirror the content you'll be tested on, so you get the best preparation possible. Plus, an accompanying CD lets you generate unlimited practice exams with randomized questions from the book, as well as test your knowledge of state-specific expanded function requirements.

• Three simulated Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) practice exams are organized into CDA exam sections, with the same number of questions you can expect to see in each section - General Chairside, Infection Control, and Radiation Health and Safety.
• Photos and illustrations pictured with the exam questions provide a realistic exam simulation.
• Rationales for correct and incorrect answers help you assess your understanding and gauge your exam readiness.
• An additional, on-screen practice exam on the accompanying CD familiarizes you with computer-based testing.
• Select your state on the CD to answer questions that reflect current expanded function requirements.
• Web links to national organizations and relevant dental sites help you know where to look for additional information.
