Late one night early in my career a fellow colleague and I were locked in a debate over the future of home automation systems. Near the end of this discussion he said "Everyone knows how to use a light-switch, and if they don't it's almost immediately obvious how to operate one." He was right, nearly everything on the market that attempted to improve on this design had fallen short because the light-switch in its underwhelming way is really a master of user interaction.

How Mindfulness Can Benefit the Hospice Professional
Guest Post By: Gillian Hamilton, MD, PhD, Administrative Medical Director
Yes, mindfulness is all the rage these days. But what can it do for hospice teams: nurses,
social workers, CNAs, physicians, and bereavement counselors?

I first realized that hospice teams need mindfulness when nurses
began telling me that they spent all night worrying about their sick patients. Then an excellent and very skilled nursing
assistant talked about how guilty she felt because a patient had fallen in the
shower, and she couldn’t get it out of her head a month later. As time went by, I realized more and more how
often our wonderful staff took the patients’ problems home with them.
