This book was released on 2022-10-14 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years, the complexity of health systems has grown due to the continuous and constant introduction of new technologies—process, production, and organizational—which have increased the number of stakeholders involved, creating new relationships and new channels through which the various subjects interact. It is necessary to highlight the critical issues and opportunities relating to the innovation of the organization and governance of health services as well as the complementarity of management and leadership. The new health needs require a Copernican revolution in the organization of services: not only offering individual services but also effective permanent care of the patient within institutional and professional assistance networks and effective, efficient, and appropriate pathways. This requires that on an organizational and managerial level, the internal relationships between the branches of the healthcare companies must be reviewed and closer relationships built with the managing bodies of the social and welfare services. The Handbook of Research on Complexities, Management, and Governance in Healthcare proceeds with a reasoned reconstruction of healthcare issues through the problems connected to the complexities, management, and governance in healthcare in light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses both the ethical side of health and the economic, organizational, and legal content. Covering topics such as healthcare innovation, taxation for public health, and waste disposal, this major reference work is a comprehensive resource for healthcare administration, directors, executive boards, lawyers, sociologists, government officials and policymakers, students and faculty of higher education, libraries, researchers, and academicians.

Download or read book Handbook Integrated Care written by Volker Amelung and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-12 with total page 1212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook shares profound insights into the main principles and concepts of integrated care. It offers a multi-disciplinary perspective with a focus on patient orientation, efficiency, and quality by applying widely recognized management approaches to the field of healthcare. The handbook also highlights international best practices and shows how integrated care can work in various health systems. In the majority of health systems around the world, the delivery of healthcare and social care is characterised by fragmentation and complexity. Consequently, much of the recent international discussion in the fields of health policy and health management has focused on the topic of integrated care. “Integrated” acknowledges the complexity of patients’ needs and aims to meet them by taking into account both health and social care aspects. Changing and improving processes in a coordinated way is at the heart of this approach. The second edition offers new chapters on people-centredness, complexity theories and evaluation methods, additional management tools and a wealth of experiences from different countries and localities. It is essential reading both for health policymakers seeking inspiration for legislation and for practitioners involved in the management of public health services who want to learn from good practice.

Book excerpt: The healthcare industry has been the center of attention recently as it continues to have a major impact on private and public organizations, government institutions, and consumers. An increasing number of requests for healthcare has led to the implementation of new policies and reform proposals that are challenging as they can have a simultaneous impact on different categories of users.

The Handbook of Research on Healthcare Standards, Policies, and Reform examines the complex issues, various problems, and innovative solutions that are linked to healthcare standards, policies, and reform. This comprehensive reference work provides important knowledge that impacts healthcare improvement from the perspective of multiple disciplines, adding innovation value to solving health issues.

Download or read book Handbook of Healthcare Management written by Pansy Minett and published by Socialy Press. This book was released on 2017-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare management is the profession that provides leadership and direction to organisations that deliver personal health services, and to divisions, departments, units, or services within those organisations. Effective healthcare management involves exercising professional judgment and skills and carrying out the aforementioned managerial functions. Healthcare organisations are complex and dynamic. The nature of organisations requires that managers provide leadership, as well as the supervision and coordination of employees. High performance in hospitals can be the result of governance logics, which, compared to simple board characteristics, are associated with better financial outcomes. Hospitals can influence the emphasis placed on different governance objectives and enhance organisational success by creating boards that are small enough to be effective yet diverse enough to profit from a wide variety of expertise and experience. Moreover, the necessary tasks in producing services in healthcare organisations require the coordination of many highly specialised disciplines that must work together seamlessly. Managers are needed to make certain that organisational tasks are carried out in the best way possible to achieve organisational goals and that appropriate resources, including financial and human resources, are adequate to support the organisation. The book entails the comprehensive analysis of strategic management practices for global healthcare organisations, focusing that insight into and implementation of these practices is indispensable for accomplishment and viable healthcare services. The Handbook examines the intersection of professionalism and complexity science as a source of new insights for improving the health care industry from both a clinical and business point of view. Viewing health care organisations as professional complex adaptive systems suggests leadership tasks for addressing the circumstances that engulf health care. Managers who adopt this view will be able to create new levers for positive movement in their organisations. This handbook will be invaluable to students in both master and doctoral healthcare management programs, as well as faculty and health services researchers, practitioners in both private and public sectors, policy-makers, and public administrators. It contains chapters contributed from well-known and eminent academic authors internationally in their particular area.
