Lee Strasberg's Method
Lee Strasberg (1901–1982) is a divisive figure whose method of acting is often misunderstood. Few people really know what it is or how it works, or what is its true relationship to the Stanislavski System. This is due to a number of misconceptions about the nature of his training with its emphasis on the development of the sensory imagination. This paper aims to challenge some of the myths about the Method, and to clarify Strasberg’s unique contribution to actor training

A Strategy for Identifying and Disseminating Best Practice Innovations in the Care of Patients with Multiple Chronic Conditions or End-of-Life Care Needs.
Patients with multiple chronic conditions and those with end-of-life care needs experience high health care costs and needs for skilled coordination and well-trained staff. Focusing on these populations presents an opportunity to improve the patient experience toward the goal of more patient-centered care and reduced costs. Although innovative programs that provide better care to these patient populations have been developed, these innovations are often localized and not actively disseminated to other settings. This paper describes a quality-improvement project aimed at developing a process to identify best practices implemented in community-based clinical settings, develop a platform to share and disseminate these best practices, and facilitate the adoption of successful practices across other similar settings. The facilitation process involved structured coaching by clinicians and researchers experienced with practice change and quality improvement. The coaching component ensured that implementation teams receive guidance in the planning and adoption process, stay on track with implementation, and have access to timely support in addressing unanticipated barriers
