Purchasing to Improve Health Systems Performance
By: Figueras, Josep; Robinson, Ray; Jakubowski, Elke
Published by: Open University Press

Purchasing is championed as key to improving health systems performance. However, despite the central role the purchasing function plays in many health system reforms, there is very little evidence about its development or its real impact on societal objectives. This book addresses this gap and provides:. · A comprehensive account of the theory and practice of purchasing for health services across Europe. · An up-to-date analysis of the evidence on different approaches to purchasing. · Support for policy-makers and practitioners as they formulate purchasing strategies so that they can increase effectiveness and improve performance in their own national context. · An assessment of the intersecting roles of citizens, the government and the providers. Written by leading health policy analysts, this book is essential reading for health policy makers, planners and managers as well as researchers and students in the field of health studies. more...

Rapport sur la santé dans le monde 2006
By: World Health Organization
Published by: World Health Organization

La santé des populations - Rapport sur la santé dans la Région africaine est le premier rapport consacré à la santé des 738 millions de personnes vivant dans la Région africaine de l Organisation mondiale de la Santé. Ce rapport de 196 pages entièrement illustré contient une analyse approfondie de tous les domaines clés de la santé publique en Afrique, ainsi que l annexe la plus complète jamais publiée jusqu ici sur les statistiques sanitaires de la Région. Avec l aide des dernières données présentées dans les figures, les graphiques et les tableaux, le rapport envisage les maladies infectieuses, en particulier le VIH/SIDA, la tuberculose et le paludisme ; les affections de la grossesse qui entraînent des décès de la mère et de l enfant et les causes environnementales des problèmes de santé, notamment la pollution et les conflits armés. Il couvre aussi les problèmes de santé de l ensemble de la Région qu on associe le plus souvent aux pays développés, par exemple le diabète et l hypertension et d autres maladies non transmissibles comme les troubles mentaux et les traumatismes. Mais il ne s agit pas seulement de faire le point des aspects négatifs de la situation sanitaire ; le rapport informe sur les méthodes de traitement, de diagnostic et de prévention qui ont fait leurs preuves en Afrique et décrit certains des succès enregistrés par la santé publique en Afrique qui peuvent servir de modèles à d autres sur le continent. La santé publique en Afrique retient davantage l attention au niveau international ces dernières années. L énormité même de la charge de morbidité et les ripostes souvent inadéquates ont été à l origine de nombreuses initiatives régionales et internationales. Des contributions sans précédent ont été annoncées pour améliorer la santé en Afrique. Pourtant de nombreux problèmes subsistent. Ce rapport est essentiel pour quiconque souhaite comprendre la situation et examiner les moyens de l améliorer. more...

Really Managing Health Care
By: Iles, Valerie
Published by: Open University Press

Praise for the first edition:. ''Valerie Iles has such a sensitive no-nonsense style that she easily succeeds in seducing the reader to accept her arguments about what is going so badly wrong with management in health care ... The case studies can only be described as 'gems'... But perhaps the greatest message this book can give to the NHS, and health care managers in particular, is that change is unstoppable. All organisms must adapt with their environment or die.''- Health Service Journal. ''Yes! This is a book that draws heavily on real-life observations with an appropriate balance of theory and pragmatism. It tackles the challenges we all face in our everday work - managing people, change, money, ourselves and organisations.''- Nursing Times. ''... anyone who has a part to play in managing health services would benefit from reading it.''- British Medical Journal. Much has been made of the distinction between management and leadership, but in health care this separation is unhelpful. Like the first edition, this completely revised edition of Really Managing Health Care describes a model, real management that brings the two elements together and demonstrates its application in health care settings. Drawing on theory across a wide range of management disciplines and illustrating these with practical examples, Valerie Iles succinctly answers three crucial questions:. How can I manage clinical professionals?. How can I increase the influence of my service?. What changes do I need to introduce to improve the quality of care my service is offering?. Written specifically for people suspicious of management jargon, Really Managing Health Care is designed for service leaders from across health and social care, and introduces ways of approaching the management task which recognize the particular dynamics of this field. more...

Reasonable Rationing
By: Ham, Chris; Glenn, Robert
Published by: Open University Press

''Reasonable Rationing is must reading for those interested in how to connect theory about fair rationing processes to country-level practices. The five case studies reveal a deep tension between political pressures to accomodate interest group demands and ethically motivated efforts to improve both information and institutional procedures for setting fair limits to care. The authors frame the issues insightfully.''. - Professor Norman Daniels, Harvard School of Public Health. . How are different countries setting priorities for health care?. . What role does information and evidence on cost and effectiveness play?. . How are institutions contributing to priority setting?. . What are the lessons for policy makers?. Priority setting in health care is an issue of increasing importance. Choices about the use of health care budgets are inescapable and difficult. A number of countries have sought to strengthen their approach to priority setting by drawing on research-based evidence on the cost and effectiveness of different treatments. This book brings together leading experts in the field to summarize and analyse the experience of priority setting in five countries: Canada, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom. Drawing on literature from a range of disciplines, it makes a significant contribution to the debate on the role of information and institutions in priority setting. Reasonable Rationing has been written with a broad readership in mind. It will be of interest to policy makers, health care professionals and health service managers, as well as students of health and social policy at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate levels. more...

Revisiting Sexualities & Health
By: Minichiello, Victor (ed.); Plummer, David (ed.)
Published by: eContent Management, Pty Ltd

Sexual health involves complex and interdependent relationships between biology, psychology and socio-historical-cultural factors. Late modernity has witnessed a growing critique of discourses which frame sex as deviance, or view sexuality and identity as essential and normative rather than as multiple and diverse, or which treat sex as a public health problem. Through understanding sexualities we can obtain a better understanding of individual and societal health, the diversity of sexualities and the importance of sexual expression on intimacy, relationships, identity, quality of life and health. This provides insights into the sexuality, experiences and rights of groups previously ignored or excluded. Papers in this special issue of Health Sociology Review* extend this knowledge and offer insights on aspects of sexuality, identity and health across the life span, focusing on diverse populations, groups and sexualities - addressing experiences and rights of groups often ignored in public health policy. more...
