Cuidados de Salud Avanzados es una colección de monografías dirigidas a profesionales de la salud y estudiantes de posgrado, máster y doctorado, dentro del ámbito de las ciencias de la salud. Su objetivo es ampliar los conocimientos básicos adquiridos durante el grado, proporcionando contenidos avanzados en cada una de las materias tratadas. Su orientación recoge las cuatro funciones que la Organización Mundial de la Salud otorga a las profesiones sanitarias: asistencial, docente, investigadora y gestora. Todas las monografías han sido escritas por autores de reconocido prestigio en su ámbito, que han constituido equipos de trabajo con expertos en el área. La presente monografía sobre gestión de servicios sanitarios, coordinadas por la profesora Loreto Maciá pone de manifiesto la importancia y la necesidad de la formación en gestión sanitaria en todos los niveles del sistema sanitario.

Los gestores, entendidos como aquellos que toman decisiones sobre los servicios sanitarios y los cuidados que se prestan a los ciudadanos, podrán conocer e interiorizar con esta obra los conceptos de gestión, que también resultarán de utilidad a los estudiantes de posgrado, a los profesionales clínicos y asistenciales, así como a los docentes e investigadores.

El estudio de los agentes infecciosos y la manipulación de material biológico conllevan a riesgos que varían según el agente infeccioso, el tipo de material y los procedimientos utilizados. Tiende a asumirse erróneamente que el concepto general de bioseguridad equivale solo a seguridad biológica, estando expuesto el personal además a riesgos de tipo físico y químico, en razón de los procedimientos, de la instrumentación, de las condiciones de trabajo y de los materiales utilizados. Por otra parte, es importante señalar que la seguridad en el laboratorio no se refiere solo al personal del laboratorio, sino que debe ampliarse a la comunidad en general y al medio ambiente. Aunque la actitud del personal, la metodología y las infraestructuras son importantes en la reducción de los riesgos en el laboratorio, la formación y capacitación es la clave de la eficacia de los programas de seguridad, y debe ser facilitada a todas las personas que desarrollan allí su actividad laboral.

Today all companies, U.S. federal agencies, and non-profit organizations have valuable data on their servers that needs to be secured. One of the challenges for IT experts is learning how to use new products in a time-efficient manner, so that new implementations can go quickly and smoothly. Learning how to set up sophisticated products is time-consuming, and can be confusing. GFI's LANguard Network Security Scanner reports vulnerabilities so that they can be mitigated before unauthorized intruders can wreck havoc on your network. To take advantage of the best things that GFI's LANguard Network Security Scanner has to offer, you'll want to configure it on your network so that it captures key events and alerts you to potential vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
In this book Brien Posey has pinpointed the most important concepts with examples and screenshots so that systems administrators and security engineers can understand how to get the GFI security tools working quickly and effectively. His straightforward, no nonsense writing style is devoid of difficult to understand technical jargon. His descriptive examples explain how GFI's security tools enhance the security controls that are already built into your server's operating system.
