Expert review of how the antiquated United States healthcare system is transforming The Coming Healthcare Revolution: The 10 Forces that Will Cure America's Health Crisis identifies and describes five top-down macro forces and five bottom-up market forces that have sufficient strength to transform the U.S. healthcare industry from the outside-in. The powerful macro forces are demographic determinants, funding fatigue, chronic pandemics, technological imperatives, and pro-consumer/market reforms. The equally powerful market forces are whole health, care redesign, care migration, aggregators' advantage, and empowered caregivers. Written by David Johnson and Paul Kusserow, professional healthcare advisors operating at the intersection of healthcare economics, policy, strategy, and capital formation, this book provides expert insight on how the U.S. healthcare system is becoming cheaper, better, more balanced between prevention and treatment, easier to access, and more empowering for both frontline caregivers and consumers. In this book, readers will learn about: Factors leading to rising healthcare costs, including an aging population, perverse economic incentives, armies of middlemen, and expensive breakthrough therapies U.S. healthcare in comparison to other high-income countries--twice as expensive per-capita, and inferior in terms of health status metrics Similarities between the U.S. automobile industry crisis in the 1980s and today's adapt-or-die situation for healthcare providers and suppliers How the healthcare industry is reorganizing to decentralize delivery of whole-person health in ways that will improve health outcomes and overall societal health The Coming Healthcare Revolution is a must-read for professionals and organizations seeking to understand and react to the paradigm-shifting forces revolutionizing the healthcare ecosystem.

Ensure your clinical trial supply chain is running smoothly with this practical guide Clinical trials are a critical part of the pharmaceutical development process. These trials cannot proceed without timely and regular receipt of the drugs being tested, which can prove a challenge for drug manufacturers who have not yet established the structures required to produce quality-controlled specimens of the drug at scale. Managing supply chains of pre-production drugs for clinical trials is therefore an essential component of drug development. Supply Chain Planning for Clinical Trials offers a practical introduction to this process for researchers and industry professionals. Beginning with the basics of creating a demand plan, it proceeds step by step through the management of supply in a clinical trial, covering all major underlying factors. The result is a thorough overview that addressed every possible challenge in the clinical trial and drug development process. Supply Chain Planning for Clinical Trials will also find: Tools for minimizing risk and expense by optimizing the relationship between supply and demand Detailed discussion of topics including expiry planning, developing reports and metrics, and many more Excel-based models to illustrate key concepts, adaptable to the readers' specific scenarios Supply Chain Planning for Clinical Trails is ideal for pharmaceutical industry professionals involved in clinical trial supply planning, as well as academics and researchers interested in the pharmaceutical industry and its logistics.

"In recent years, new advancements in the science of language learning and acquisition have led to significant changes in language teaching, pedagogy, and curriculum design all around the world. Some of the most prominent and important advances have dealt with our evolving understanding of the role of English as a lingua franca (specifically in the international language classroom) and our increasing sensitivity to the unique needs of students and teachers who are able to communicate across languages and cultures. The concepts of plurilingual and intercultural language learning have provided specific procedural and theoretical answers to these shifting demands. The concept of plurilingualism describes an individual who is able to speak several languages and switch between them based on social context (the more-often studied concept of multilingualism, by contrast, describes a community-wide use of multiple languages). In concert with the study of intercultural communication, which considers individuals' abilities to adjust communication styles and decisions to accommodate different cultural circumstances, researchers are able to achieve a deeper understanding of the ways in which a much greater variety of students function and behave in classrooms. Simultaneously, institutional ideas are changing about the ways in which national identity should be described in order to accommodate more linguistically and culturally diverse populations, which has also seen new educational requirements for learners of all backgrounds to leave school speaking multiple languages, particularly in school systems across the EU"--

DIntegral, reliable, and comprehensive guidance for chemists performing the complex syntheses required for the formation and cleavage of protective groups Organic synthesis is the preparation and creation of organic compounds for use in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and other molecules. The synthesis of molecules having multiple functional groups often requires the use of "protective groups" to achieve site selectivity in a chemical reaction within a molecule bearing multiple sites of reactivity. Protective groups are installed temporarily to prevent unwanted reactions at a particular site, while transforming a different functional group. Once they have served their function, they are removed to expose the original group. Without a thorough understanding of the methods required to install and remove them, the design of a synthesis of a molecule having multiple functional groups in most cases is effectively impossible. Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 6th Edition is the definitive compilation of protective groups, their classification, and their application in a wide array of situations. With a long tradition of comprehensive coverage, organized on the basis of the functional group in need of protection and subsequent deprotection, it is an essential reference and resource for all chemists involved in organic syntheses. Now fully updated to reflect the current state of the art, it remains an indispensable resource for generating life-changing organic products. This edition contains a new chapter on how protective groups effect reactivity and selectivity in carbohydrate chemistry. Readers of the sixth edition of Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis will also find: Methodology for planning selectivity in organic syntheses Detailed discussion of all major functional groups including ethers, amides, and phenols A discussion of the impact of protective groups on reactivity in carbohydrates Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis is ideal for synthetic organic chemists or medicinal chemists in academia, industry--pharmaceuticals, food, agrochemicals, and biotech--or government agencies.

Every year, nearly 100 billion tonnes of raw material globally is extracted from the earth - approximately half of it for construction purposes. The construction industry is responsible for an estimated third of global waste, while reuse of construction materials is decreasing. The same sector accounts for at least 40 per cent of global carbon-dioxide emissions. There is thus an urgent need to showcase how novel approaches in digital fabrication can enhance thesustainability of buildings and transform construction. Featuring specialists from architecture, engineering and materials science, this AD presents innovative research and new construction systems, approaches and trends to demonstrate how existing methods and unique concepts that utilise cutting-edge technologies can, in a short space of time, help us advance towards a culture of sustainable construction. It focuses on digital design and manufacturing, including XR technologies, and highlights unique ways to build with earth or concrete.
