Download or read book The Public Private Health Care State written by Rosemary A. Stevens and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distinctive mixing and continuous remixing of public and private roles is a defining feature of health care in the United States. The Public-Private Health Care State explores the interweaving of public and private enterprise in health care in the United States as a basis for thinking about health care in terms of its history and its continuing evolution today. Historian and policy analyst Rosemary Stevens has selected and edited seventeen essays from both her published and unpublished work to illustrate continuing themes, such as: the flexible meanings of the terms "public" and "private," and how useful their ambiguity has been and is; the role of ideology as ratifying rather than preordaining change; and the common behavior of public leaders and corporate entities in the face of fiscal opportunity. The topics--covering the period of 1870 through the twenty-first century--represent Stevens' research interests in hospital history and policy, the medical profession, government policy, and paying for health care. The volume also considers her involvement with policy questions, which include health services research, health maintenance organizations, and physician workforce policy. Section I demonstrates the long history of state government involvement with private not-for-profit hospitals from the 1870s through the 1930s. Section II examines the federal role in health care from the 1920s through the 1970s, including the establishment of veterans' hospitals and the implementation of Medicaid. Section III shows how shifting governmental roles require constantly changing organizing rhetoric, whether for inventing a federal role for health services research and HMOs, "regionalization" in the 1970s, or defining civil rights and "equity" as mobilizing vehicles in the 1980s. Section IV examines growing concerns from the 1970s through the present about the traditional "public" role of the largely "private" medical profession. Section V returns to the ambiguous public-private status of not-for profit hospitals, buffeted in the 1980s and 1990s by assumptions about the efficiency of the market.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on State Medicine So many Parliamentary inquiries have been lately instituted; and so many measures have been proposed, on subjects relating to the Public Health, and affecting either the agency of the Medical Profession for State purposes or the qualification of its members, - and the importance of these matters has become so generally acknowledged, - that any one who has thought much on them may, perhaps, be excused for endeavouring to reduce to some degree of order this accumulating mass of materials.

Download or read book Medicine in Society written by Andrew Wear and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-02-27 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social history of medicine over the past fifteen years has redrawn the boundaries of medical history. Specialized papers and monographs have contributed to our knowledge of how medicine has affected society and how society has shaped medicine. This book synthesizes, through a series of essays, some of the most significant findings of this "new social history" of medicine. The period covered ranges from ancient Greece to the present time. While coverage is not exhaustive, the reader is able to trace how medicine in the West developed from an unlicensed open market place, with many different types of practitioners in the classical period, to the nineteenth- and twentieth-century professionalized medicine of State influence, of hospitals, public health medicine, and scientific medicine. The book also covers innovative topics such as patient-doctor relationships, the history of the asylum, and the demographic background to the history of medicine.

Download or read book Political Values and Health Care written by Donald Light and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1986 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These nineteen original essays explore the ways in which political and social values help to shape health care systems by analyzing what happened to the German health care system when it split after World War II into communist and noncommunist sectors. Since both systems evolved from the same foundation they form a natural experiment in history where the same phenomenon becomes divided into an experimental and control group. The book is the first to take advantage of this unique opportunity for comparative analysis; it is also the first social history of the German health care system from Bizmarck to the present. Donald Light's introduction, "State, Profession, and Political Values," is followed by eighteen essays grouped in four parts which cover the state and society, the social history of German health care, structural aspects of health care in the two Germanies, and healers and their patients. Essays in Part I compare structures and values of state and society, the medical-industrial complex, and sociological patterns in the two Germanies. Those in Part II take up the origin and development of compulsory health insurance, the consequences of the National Socialist takeover for the administration of sick funds and for panel doctors, public health policy following the war, and political values and reconstruction. Part III focuses on comparisons of social security and health care systems, political values and the regulation of hospital care, ideological influences on the organization of ambulatory and hospital medical care, state control and drug supply, and the organization of tuberculosis prevention. Essays in Part IV discuss qualification and professionalization in the health care professions, legal aspects of the physician-patient relationship, the problem of induced abortion, mother and child care, occupational health and the older worker, and ideology and psychotherapy. All but two of the contributors are West German scholars. Donald W. Light is Professor of Social Medicine and Psychiatry at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey School of Osteopathic Medicine and Senior Fellow at the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics. Alexander Schuller is Professor of Sociology at the Free University of Berlin.

This startling book contains proposals for ensuring that public health service programs are efficient and effective enough to deal not only with the topics of today, but also with those of tomorrow. In addition, the authors make recommendations for core functions in public health assessment, policy development, and service assurances, and identify the level of government--federal, state, and local--at which these functions would best be handled.
Download or read book Why Students of Medicine Should Select the Homoeopathic School written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Students of Medicine Should Select the Homoeopathic School: The Prize Essay in the Medical Century Competition and the Essays Obtaining Second and Third Places It was the pioneer in the movement for a four years medical course, and for a high educational standard in the entrance and graduation requirements. The statement that the standard and teaching is of a higher average order than in the 123 allopathic schools is well within the truth. These twenty colleges are well distributed from Boston to San Francisco, and are, therefore, easily accessible. In addition there are in the United States eightyfour general hospitals, sixty-one private hospitals, fifty-eight sanatoriums, fifty-six dispensaries, all avowedly homoeopathic, and sixty-six other institutions, State, municipal, etc., wherein homoeopathic treatment is employed. Many of these 325 institutions, especially the general hospitals, require resident physicians or internes who are naturally chosen from the graduating classes of the homoeopathic colleges. The motto of the new eductaion, We learn things by doing them, is observed in a medical course by the opportunities for clinical practice by the student. The smaller classes, besides ensuring a much closer personal contact with the professors on the part of the student, increase not only the chances for individual preferment during the course, but for hospital and other appointments on graduation. While the commercial spirit is not compatible with the sacred and philanthropic character of the medical calling, it is not only proper for the student to consider the bread and butter aspect of the question but his duty as well. If the field is already overcrowded, he owes it to himself, as well as to those in it, to choose some other calling. To the question: Is the medical profession overcrowded? there can be but one answer. If we take the total of all schools there is a great surplusage of graduates every year. As a consequence, many are obliged to abandon the practice in spite of the great expenditure of time and money in fitting themselves for it. Many others with an income less, and more precarious than that of a skilled workman in almost any industry, eke out an unsatisfactory existence. This is especially true in the cities. But in spite of this recognized excess of physicians of all schools, there seems to be an actual dearth of homoeopathic physicians.

Download or read book Essays in Medical Sociology written by Renée Claire Fox and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1988-01 with total page 711 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This outstanding collection of essays by Renee C. Fox encompasses almost thirty years of original, pioneering research in the sociology of medicine. Based on fieldwork in a variety of medical settings in the United States, Belgium, and Zaire, these ethnographic essays examine chronic and terminal illness, medical research, therapeutic innovation, medical education and socialization, and bio-ethics. Within this framework, three empirical "cases" have been singled out for special scrutiny--the process of becoming a physician, the development of the artificial kidney machine and organ transplantation, and the evolution of medical research in Belgium. Without ignoring social structural or psychodynamic factors, Dr. Fox has explored basic cultural phenomena and questions associated with health, illness, and medicine: values, beliefs, symbols, rites, and the nuances of language: ethical and existential dilemmas and dualities; and the complex interrelationships between medicine, science, religion, and magic. She draws systematically and imaginatively upon anthropological, psychological, historical, and biological insights and integrates observations and analyses from her own studies in American, Western European, and Central African societies. This second, augmented edition includes Professor Fox's more recent contributions to the expanding field of the sociology of medicine. They are The Evolution of Medical Uncertainty; The Human Condition of Health Professionals; Reflections on the Utah Artificial Heart Program; Is Religion Important in Belgium?; Medical Morality is Not Bioethics--Medical Ethics in China and the United States; and Medicine, Science and Technology. The work also includes a new introduction, Endings, Beginnings and Continuities. Now, anthropologists, sociologists, medical educators, scientists, researchers, and students can join her on her "journeys into the field" and share with her the priceless insights to be gained from the physicians, nurses, medical students, patients, and their families, who are working, living, and dying on the edge of what is known, scrutable, and remediable--on the edge of medical science.
