Inpatient providers have increased precautions when handling “never event” complications that have led to an improved safety culture associated with the high-reliability organizations ( ...

Wilson, a Harvard University biologist, noted that human beings have innate and evolutionarily-based affinities to nature, and hence it is not possible to disconnect their subconscious from the natural environment.

The most compelling reason why humans must affiliate themselves to natures, that is tree and water, is that they are needed for survival. Many architectural designers are being pressured to incorporate biophilia elements in their designs. Trees and the natural environment in general are needed ...

However, in some cases when the patient can’t make such a decision, the family decides. The argument about whether or not euthanasia should be legalized has been going on for quite some time already, but the government has yet to reach a decision about it. Although some states in America have already legalized it, such as Washington, Oregon, California, Vermont, and in Bernalillo County ...
