Home care services allow aging loved ones to receive medical care and assistance in their own homes rather than in hospitals or nursing facilities. Home care improves quality of life by providing customized care tailored to individual needs. Millions rely on home care services to stay healthy and independent at home, which scientific evidence shows leads to quicker healing and higher satisfaction than facility-based care.
Suicide prevention by dr seshni moodliar
World Mental Health Day is recognized by WHO with the theme of suicide prevention in 2019. Suicide is a global issue that claims 800,000 lives each year. Risk factors for suicide include mental health problems, substance abuse, family history, isolation, loss and trauma. Signs someone may be at risk include changes in mood, behavior, and physical health. Prevention strategies focus on improving mental health resources, limiting access to lethal means, supporting those bereaved by suicide, and building resilience in teenagers. We all have a role to play in supporting community mental wellness.

Flowcharts are diagrams that represent algorithms or processes through boxes and arrows. They help visualize processes and aid understanding. There are different types for documenting processes, data flows, systems, and programs. Standard symbols include ovals, rectangles, diamonds, and lines to denote starts/ends, processes, decisions, and logic flow. Flowcharts help with communication, analysis, documentation, coding, and debugging. Limitations include complexity, alterations, and losing the essentials in technical details.

From adjudication to disposition
This document discusses how social workers can assist attorneys throughout the juvenile justice process. Social workers can gather important background information on clients and their families during the pre-adjudication phase. They can develop detailed reports and recommendations to aid attorneys during disposition. Social workers are also useful for developing community-based plans and evaluating potential placements to advocate for clients' best interests. Using social workers provides attorneys with clinical expertise and helps ensure clients receive appropriate treatment and services.
Nasw presentation
The document summarizes the "kids for cash" scandal that occurred in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania between 2002-2009. When Judge Ciavarella took over the juvenile court system in 1995, he implemented a zero tolerance policy that resulted in hundreds of juveniles being detained for minor offenses. It was later uncovered that Ciavarella and another judge had received $2.6 million in kickbacks for placing juveniles in for-profit detention centers. Both judges pled guilty but later withdrew their pleas. The scandal led to reforms in the juvenile justice system and the creation of a commission to investigate.
Using social media in project management
Social media and web 2.0 tools can enhance project management by improving collaboration and communication. Traditional project management tools are control-oriented but do not facilitate interaction like blogs, wikis, microblogging and social networks. These new tools allow geographically dispersed teams to easily share updates, resources and ideas. Early adopters like Lockheed Martin are seeing benefits such increased productivity, better knowledge sharing and problem solving from implementing social media-enabled project management practices. While change can be difficult, project managers should embrace these new tools to adapt to trends in mobility, collaboration and Generation Y workstyles.

Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job? Stanford GSB Corporate Governance Research Initiative
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.confidentiality
Confidentiality involves protecting personal client information by keeping it private between the client and healthcare provider. It includes details about medical history, treatment, finances, and personal matters. Maintaining confidentiality helps build trust in the client-provider relationship. Healthcare providers must obtain informed consent from clients by fully explaining diagnoses, treatment options and risks so clients can make voluntary decisions.
Psychiatry history taking
This document provides guidance on psychiatric history taking. It outlines the importance of obtaining a comprehensive history to make an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. The basic principles of history taking include introducing oneself, explaining the purpose, asking open-ended questions, and encouraging the patient to elaborate.

Thoroughly exploring these areas allows psychiatrists to understand the patient's life experiences and form an appropriate care plan.
Hisotry collection
The document provides an overview of psychiatric history collection, including its importance, components, and basic principles. Psychiatric history aims to understand the patient's life history, identify problems, and formulate an effective treatment plan.

The history should be collected through open-ended questioning of the patient and informants to understand factors contributing to the patient's mental illness.

Triple Threat: Beyond Mental Health and Substance Abuse Issues
As a seasoned interventionist, I’ve seen clients from both sides of the mental illness/substance abuse spectrum as well as clients with an avalanche of additional problems that I describe as the TRIPLE THREAT, those who suffer from a tertiary issue either as a result of a prior condition (i.e. disorder or illness) or that one that is exacerbated by additional factors (i.e. physical, legal, traumatic, etc.). These folks and their families present a diagnostic quandary with their kaleidoscope of competing and equally important issues.

Priorities for child protective investigations are also outlined.

Genetic Counseling in the field of medicine.pptx
Genetic counseling involves assessing individuals and families affected by genetic disorders to help them understand medical and psychological implications. Counselors educate about inheritance, testing, management and prevention, and support informed decision making. Counseling sessions involve providing unbiased information, discussing disease and testing options, and offering support. The goal is to increase understanding and allow for non-directive decision making. Counselors help clients cope with emotional impacts and connect them to additional resources and support services.
Legal issues in emergency medicine
Legal issues regularly arise in emergency medicine. Doctors have a duty of care to provide treatment that is in the patient's best interests and of an appropriate standard. Valid consent requires the patient be competent, receive full disclosure of risks/benefits, and freely agree to treatment. Doctors must assess a patient's capacity to consent using functional tests of their understanding. Privacy and confidentiality principles also apply but have exceptions like mandatory reporting. Proper documentation is important to demonstrate reasonable care was provided to avoid negligence claims.
