Jetzt fängt das Leben erst richtig an
by Brömme, Bettina
Leben ist das, was passiert, während du andere Pläne machst! Das erfährt Alwa bei ihrer Neuseeland-Reise am eigenen Leib. Ihr Praktikumsplatz existiert nicht und die spontan angenommene Stelle als Au-pair ist zum Davonlaufen. Wenigstens taugen ihre Erlebnisse für witzige Instagram-Posts. Alles scheint gut zu werden, als sie einen Job in einem Kinderhilfsprojekt ergattert. Denn zwischen Windeln wechseln und Wal-Touren lässt Laurin ihr Herz schneller schlagen. Doch dann erschüttert ein Erdbeben die Stadt und von Laurin fehlt plötzlich jede Spur. Alwa setzt all ihre Hoffnungen auf ihre Instagram-Follower: Irgendjemand muss ihn doch gesehen haben …

Personal Jo - Journal
by Alberta Magris
Look at the things of the world as they were ancient rocks made up of layers and layers of stories. Listen to what they have to say – they can connect you to the past and give you a solid foundation for the future. Fresh mountain air, changeable landscape and magical scenery: this is light and compact Staff Jo is the ideal companion during your excursions. It takes up little space in your backpack but knows how to broaden your horizons, it doesn't weigh you down but it knows how to inspire deep reflections. Majestic deer and ibex horns alternate with delicate sun-drenched flowers; the profiles of the most beautiful and well-known peaks give way to the lakes in which trees and mountains are reflected in a continuous silent dialogue. The popular stories: it seems that witches usually gather well protected by the fog that caresses the valleys. The legend of King Laurin, however, tells the origin of theenrosadira, the phenomenon whereby the peaks here take on a fabulous reddish color at dawn and dusk. Dolomite rocks can be austere, but don't be fooled! As soon as the sun's rays peek out from behind the peaks, everything changes in an instant.

February 2019Establishing Effective Patient Navigation Programs in Oncology
Proceedings of a Workshop
by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Health and Medicine Division, Board on Health Care Services, National Cancer Policy Forum, Sharyl J. Nass, Cyndi Trang, Margie Patlak
Delivering high-quality cancer care to all patients presents numerous challenges, including difficulties with care coordination and access. Patient navigation is a community-based service delivery intervention designed to promote access to timely diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other chronic diseases by eliminating barriers to care, and has often been proposed and implemented to address these challenges. However, unresolved questions include where patient navigation programs should be deployed, and which patients should be prioritized to receive navigation services when resources are limited. To address these issues and facilitate discussion on how to improve navigation services for patients with cancer, the National Cancer Policy Forum of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop on November 13 and 14, 2017. At this workshop, a broad range of experts and stakeholders, including clinicians, navigators, researchers, and patients, explored which patients need navigation and who should serve as navigators, and the benefits of navigation and current gaps in the evidence base.
