Introduction monitoring the evolution of an outbreak. All countries are currently facing the double burden of diseases with the growing importance of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the emerging and developing world. For this reason there is need to attach much importance to matters relating to responses to injuries like burn management as well as to cardiovascular risks and cancer, for such population groups in a deprived area of a rich country like Australia. We also have an opportunity to reflect on the fact that although enhanced medical knowledge helps in improving outcomes, illness is also related to psychosocial conditions. Failure to fully appreciate this treatment source can undermine potential success. The article which argues that surgery should be considered as part of the primary care package of services, demonstrates how by reconsidering the place of intervention and the role of health professionals, it is possible to provide response without mobilizing massive resources. The Human resource shortage calls professions to reconsider their ability to respond to growing challenges. By featuring the article on physical therapy, IHF has sought also to expose the diversity of skills needed in caring for patients. In relation with the role of physical therapists the issue of patient handling shows the importance of using best practices to face this situation while protecting the health of workers. Last but not least, it was not possible to cover a large spectrum of issues without having an article related to patient safety. Appropriate use of recommendations can make a big difference in results. Innovation can be simple things but well and systematically implemented. Finally, as there is now greater recognition of the role of the private sector in supporting health, it was important to highlight the role companies can play for the health of their workers. It is usual that in remote places where companies have a large workforce that they create their own facilities which in return benefit the population. For HIV treatments, it is also obvious that employers should play an important role in providing access. Like in any approach that covers a large spectrum of issues, it can be argued that there is not enough or too much on a topic and that some important topics are missing. This 2009/2010 edition is not intended to be comprehensive, but as mentioned above, it is to provide insight to decision-makers and enable them to embrace and absorb the full spectrum of available knowledge. I do hope you will have a pleasant reading and that one or another article will be a sparkle triggering innovation in your facility. ❏ 10 <strong>Hospital</strong> and Health-care Innovation Book 2009/2010
