Design For Reuse

Remanufacture involves the disassembly, cleaning, and replacement or refurbishment of worn parts of products at the end of life. Since the essential goal of remanufacture is part reuse, the reliability of components is important. The goal of this work is to consider reliability effects on life-cycle costs to enable design for reuse. A reliability model is developed to better describe systems that undergo repairs performed during remanufacture or maintenance. This model allows replacement components to be of a type different from the original components. The behavior, preliminary experimental validation, and application of the model to an example are presented.

Patient Centric

Purpose Palliative care is a philosophy of care that encompasses holistic, patient-centric care involving patients and their family members and loved ones. Palliative care patients often have complex needs. A common challenge in managing patients near their end of life is the complexity of navigating clinical decisions and finding achievable and realistic goals of care that are in line with the values and wishes of patients. This often results in differing opinions and conflicts within the multidisciplinary team. Conclusion This article describes a tool derived from the biopsychosocial model and the 4-quadrant ethical model. The authors describe the use of this tool in managing a patient who wishes to have fried chicken despite aspiration risk and how this tool was used to encourage discussions and reduce conflict and distress within the multidisciplinary team.

Four Levels

This article addresses the unique roles of social work and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in end-of-life and hospice care settings. The four levels of hospice care are explained. Suggested social work and SLP interventions for end-of-life nutrition and approaches to patient communication are offered. Case studies are used to illustrate the specialized roles that social work and SLP have in end-of-life care settings.
