    • Asistencia compartida

      • 1st Edition

      El progresivo envejecimiento de la población y el consiguiente aumento de las comorbilidades en el paciente hospitalizado, unidos a la cada vez mayor especialización médica, hacen necesaria una forma de organizar la práctica asistencial que, de manera colaborativa y multidisciplinar, mejore la eficacia de las interconsultas y permita una visión global y continuada del paciente por parte de un médico generalista: es lo que se conoce como asistencia compartida (AC). Asistencia compartida. Qué es y cómo ponerla en práctica llena un vacío en la literatura médica en español, pues constituye el primer libro que aborda en este idioma los aspectos teóricos y organizativos de la AC. Estructurado en tres partes, la primera aborda temas generales relacionados con la práctica médica; la segunda analiza brevemente las interconsultas (cuyo conocimiento resulta fundamental para comprender correctamente la AC), y la tercera, la más amplia, desarrolla todos los aspectos fundamentales de la AC: sus orígenes, los aspectos medicolegales y éticos, la selección de pacientes, los aspectos organizativos y de gestión, las relaciones con otros servicios, pacientes y familiares o los resultados publicados, entre otros. Esta obra va especialmente dirigida a los médicos generalistas hospitalarios (internistas, geriatras y pediatras), pero también será de interés para cualquier otro profesional que desempeñe actividad asistencial en centros hospitalarios.

To meet the expectations of clinical radiologists, thorough clinical expertise and familiarity with all the imaging modalities appropriate to address their clinical questions are necessary, regardless of one’s favoured subspeciality. To keep the content relevant to them, we have tried to stay upgraded to their level. This book comprises six volumes, which gives information on Radiological Anatomy, Embryology, Nomogram, Normal Variants, Physics, Imaging Techniques, and all the aspects of Diagnostic Radiology including Neuroradiology, Head and Neck, Chest and CVS, Abdomen, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Breast, Musculoskeletal and Multisystem Disorders & related Interventional techniques. It will serve as a primary reference for residents and subspeciality trainees and fellows to facilitate their learning in preparation for their examination, and also the consultant radiologists in their daily clinical practice.
