The coauthors of the seminal book The Virtual Corporation describe how the rise of artificial intelligence and virtual environments are ushering in an epic cultural transformation-and how we can ...thrive in this new era. We are at the dawn of the Autonomous Revolution, a turning point in human history as decisive as the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. More and more, AI-based machines are replacing human beings, and online environments are gathering our data and using it to manipulate us. This loss of human autonomy amounts to nothing less than a societal phase change, a fundamental paradigm shift. The same institutions will remain-schools, banks, churches, and corporations-but they will radically change form, obey new rules, and use new tools. William H. Davidow and Michael S. Malone go deeply into the enormous implications of these developments. They show why increases in productivity no longer translate into increases in the GDP and how zero cost, one-to-many communications have been turned into tools for cybercrime and propaganda. Many of the book's recommendations-such as using taxes to control irresponsible internet behavior and enabling people to put their data into what are essentially virtual personal information "safety deposit boxes"-are bold and visionary, but we must figure out how we will deal with these emerging challenges now, before the Autonomous Revolution overcomes us.
The purpose of this study was to explore the association between nurses’ perceptions and attitudes of teamwork and workplace bullying. A total of 128 nurses in two hospitals in the northeast USA ...completed three surveys: Attitudes about teamwork survey, Team characteristics survey, and Negative intention questionnaire. A majority of nurses believed that teamwork was an important vehicle for providing quality patient care. Two thirds of the nurses reported the presence of important variables such as leadership, trust and communication on their teams. Despite these positive perceptions, a third of the nurses reported being bullied and half observed others being bullied. A number of effective team skills were associated with fewer occurrences of workplace bullying.

In the emergency department (ED), frailty represents the vulnerability of an individual because of their underlying health status. An older patient can be identified as frail by using a frailty ...index, the Clinical Frailty Scale, a frailty phenotype, or a screening measure such as the Identification of Seniors at Risk (ISAR). In the ED, the frail older person should have an interdisciplinary assessment, a thoughtful review of their medications, a screen for other geriatric syndromes, and a care plan that addresses the individual's needs, includes the patient's goals and preferences, and follows the patient beyond the ED.
