Managing Health Organizations for Quality and Performance
Managing Health Organizations for Quality and Performance looks at health care management from the perspective of quality improvement. Suitable for undergraduates or first-year graduate students, the book reflects the importance of creating quality and value in public health and health services organizations. It introduces complex and important topics but is written in a highly accessible manner. Key Features- Covers the basic subject areas required of managers working in the broad arena that encompasses various forms of health. - The chapters stand alone, allowing instructors to arrange topics as they prefer to present them. - The framework is based on four management functions, rather than management roles or simply presenting facts. - Includes material related to customer service and satisfaction as well as organizational and programmatic quality. - Takes a systems approach with examples of systems thinking applied to both management and quality issues- Provides opportunities for communicating and connecting among many topics and the methodological tools and disciplines (epidemiology, biostatistics, nutrition, maternal and child health) on which they can be applied.
Lou Gehrig's Disease
Lou Gehrig's Disease, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, attacks nerve cells and pathways in the brain and spinal cord. Patients in the later stages of the disease become totally paralyzed, yet in most cases, their minds are still alert and sharp. Readers are provided with essential information on ALS. This book also serves as a historical survey, by providing information on the controversies surrounding its causes. Compelling first-person narratives by people coping with ALS give readers a first-hand experience. Patients, family members, or caregivers explain the condition from their own experience, including famed scientist Stephen Hawking. The symptoms, causes, treatments, and potential cures are explained in detail. Essential to anyone trying to learn about diseases and conditions, the alternative treatments are explored. Each essay is carefully edited and presented with an introduction, so that they are accessible for student researchers and readers.
In Defense of an Evolutionary Concept of Health
One of the most controversial contemporary debates on the concept of health is the clash between the views of naturalists and normativists. Naturalists argue that, although health can be valued or disvalued, the concept of health is itself objective and value-free. In contrast, normativists argue that health is a contextual and value-laden concept, and that there is no possibility of a value-free understanding of health. This debate has fueled many of the, often very acrimonious, disputations arising from the claims of health, disease and disability activists and charities and the public policy responses to them. In responding to this debate, Ananth both surveys the existing literature, with special focus on the work of Christopher Boorse, and argues that a naturalistic concept of health, drawing on evolutionary considerations associated with biological function, homeostasis, and species-design, is defensible without jettisoning norms in their entirety.
Criminal Justice and Public Health
The criminal justice system now serves as the chief provider of health care services to a significant portion of society. This includes the provision of physical and mental health care for offender populations who require substantial health care resources. To date, little is known or understood with regard to how these services and programs are being delivered. This book addresses the gaps in our knowledge by presenting a range of studies detailing the daily practices that occur in places where criminal justice and public health systems intersect. This includes an assessment of sheriff agency emergency communication systems, a study of problem behaviours and health using a juvenile sample, t...
