      Nurses are faced with unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Healthcare delivery models are transforming that require adaptive and flexible nurses. The primary role of the frontline nurse is providing patient care. To be successful in this role it requires numerous competencies supported by evidence-based data. Frontline bedside nurses are fundamental to the success of value-based care delivery models. These transformational models rely on robust nursing contributions for success. Most frontline nurses don't understand value-based care models and their role in promoting positive outcomes for reimbursement. This issue is a tool kit to empower our frontline nurses for challenges they are facing with transformations occurring at their bedside practice site. The articles will be a best practice handbook for frontline nurses by providing resources to develop clinical skills to provide safe, quality, and accountable patient care needed for new healthcare delivery models.

      La neurophysiologie clinique est une spécialité médicale qui étudie le système nerveux central et périphérique grâce à l'enregistrement des activités bioélectriques. Cet ouvrage propose une synthèse destinée à une pratique concrète de cette spécialité dans le champ psychiatrique. Après des rappels historiques, techniques et méthodologiques, l'ouvrage aborde les applications diagnostiques, avec les principaux examens que sont l'EEG, les potentiels évoqués cognitifs et la polysomnographie. Ceux-ci permettent notamment l'exploration des syndromes confusionnels, d'établir les diagnostics différentiels et/ou comorbides et l'évaluation des effets secondaires des traitements. Par la suite, l'ouvrage s'intéresse aux applications thérapeutiques impliquant les processus neurophysiologiques : l'électroconvulsivot... la stimulation magnétique transcrânienne répétée et le neurofeedback. La dernière partie propose une réflexion épistémologique et phénoménologique conduisant ainsi à une visée éthique de la pratique de la neurophysiologie en psychiatrie.
