Download or read book Hospital Based Health Technology Assessment written by Laura Sampietro-Colom and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely work describing how localized hospital-based health technology assessment (HB-HTA) complements general, ‘arms-length’ HTA agency efforts, and what has been the collective global impact of HB-HTA across the globe. While HB-HTA has gained significant momentum over the past few years, expertise in the field, and information on the operation and organization of HB-HTA, has been scattered. This book serves to bring this information together to inform those who are currently working in the field of HTA at the hospital, regional, national or global level. In addition, this book is intended for decision-makers and policy-makers with a stake in determining the uptake and decommissioning of new and established technologies in the hospital setting. HTA has traditionally been performed at the National/Regional level by HTA Agencies, typically linked to governments. Yet hospitals are the main entry door for most health technologies (HTs). Hospital decision-makers must undertake multiple high stakes investment and disinvestment decisions annually for innovative HTs, usually without adequate information. Despite the existence of arms-length HTA Agencies, inadequate information is available to hospital decision-makers either because relevant HTA reports are not yet released at the time of entry of new technologies to the field, or because even when the report exists, the information contained is insufficient to clarify the contextualized informational needs of hospital decision makers. Therefore, there has recently been a rising trend toward hospital-based HTA units and programs. These units/programs complement the work of National/Regional HTA Agencies by providing the key and relevant evidence needed by hospital decision makers in their specific hospital context, and within required decision-making timelines. The emergence of HB-HTA is creating a comprehensive HTA ecosystem across health care levels, which creates better bridges for knowledge translation through relevance and timeliness.
Download or read book Health Systems in Transition written by Gregory P. Marchildon and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The health care system in Canada is much-discussed in the international sphere, but often overlooked when it comes to its highly decentralized administration and regulation. Health Systems in Transition: Canada provides an objective description and analysis of the public, private, and mixed components that make up health care in Canada today including the federal, provincial, intergovernmental and regional dynamics within the public system. Gregory P. Marchildons study offers a statistical and visual description of the many facets of Canadian health care financing, administration, and service delivery, along with relevant comparisons to five other countries systems. This second edition includes a major update on health data and institutions, a new appendix of federal laws concerning select provincial and territorial Medicare legislation, and, for the first time, a comprehensive and searchable index. It also provides a more complete assessment of the Canadian health system based on financial protection, efficiency, equity, user experience, quality of care, and health outcomes. Balancing careful assessment, summary, and illustration, Health Systems in Transition: Canada is a thorough and illuminating look at one of the nation's most complex public policies and associated institutions.
Download or read book Communicating Science in Social Contexts written by Donghong Cheng and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-15 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science communication, as a multidisciplinary field, has developed remarkably in recent years. It is now a distinct and exceedingly dynamic science that melds theoretical approaches with practical experience. Formerly well-established theoretical models now seem out of step with the social reality of the sciences, and the previously clear-cut delineations and interacting domains between cultural fields have blurred. Communicating Science in Social Contexts examines that shift, which itself depicts a profound recomposition of knowledge fields, activities and dissemination practices, and the value accorded to science and technology. Communicating Science in Social Contexts is the product of long-term effort that would not have been possible without the research and expertise of the Public Communication of Science and Technology (PCST) Network and the editors. For nearly 20 years, this informal, international network has been organizing events and forums for discussion of the public communication of science.
Download or read book The Global Impact of the COVID 19 Pandemic on Institutional and Community Corrections written by James M. Byrne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of the chapters included in this volume provide preliminary answers to questions such as: How extensive were COVID-19 outbreaks in prisons, jails, and community corrections systems globally? Which regions and countries reported the largest outbreaks? Why were prisons and jails found to be "hot spots" for the spread of COVID-19 in most countries? How did governments initially respond to COVID-19 outbreaks in their corrections systems? Did the mitigation strategies used in each country reduce the spread of the infection in the corrections system (both in prisons and jails, and in community corrections)? Did the corrections-focused mitigation strategies used in each country have a positive or an adverse impact on public health and public safety? How likely is it that the varied short-term mitigation strategies implemented by governments will result in long-term changes in corrections policies and practices? The book includes three chapters examining the global impact of the COVID-19 outbreaks, six regional overviews, and 27 country-specific reviews, including reviews targeting 21 of the 50 largest prison systems globally. This collection will be an excellent resource for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and the general public interested in knowing more about the nature and extent of COVID-19 outbreaks in corrections systems globally, and about the diversity of responses developed and implemented by governments from each global region. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Victims & Offenders.
Download or read book Field Trials of Health Interventions written by Peter G. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Before new interventions are released into disease control programmes, it is essential that they are carefully evaluated in field trials'. These may be complex and expensive undertakings, requiring the follow-up of hundreds, or thousands, of individuals, often for long periods. Descriptions of the detailed procedures and methods used in the trials that have been conducted have rarely been published. A consequence of this, individuals planning such trials have few guidelines available and little access to knowledge accumulated previously, other than their own. In this manual, practical issues in trial design and conduct are discussed fully and in sufficient detail, that Field Trials of Health Interventions may be used as a toolbox' by field investigators. It has been compiled by an international group of over 30 authors with direct experience in the design, conduct, and analysis of field trials in low and middle income countries and is based on their accumulated knowledge and experience. Available as an open access book via Oxford Medicine Online, this new edition is a comprehensive revision, incorporating the new developments that have taken place in recent years with respect to trials, including seven new chapters on subjects ranging from trial governance, and preliminary studies to pilot testing.
Download or read book Regulating Creation written by Trudo Lemmens and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004, the Assisted Human Reproduction Act was passed by the Parliament of Canada. Fully in force by 2007, the act was intended to safeguard and promote the health, safety, dignity, and rights of Canadians. However, a 2010 Supreme Court of Canada decision ruled that key parts of the act were invalid. Regulating Creation is a collection of essays built around the 2010 ruling. Featuring contributions by Canadian and international scholars, it offers a variety of perspectives on the role of law in dealing with the legal, ethical, and policy issues surrounding changing reproductive technologies. In addition to the in-depth analysis of the Canadian case the volume reflects on how other countries, particularly the U.S., U.K. and New Zealand regulate these same issues. Combining a detailed discussion of legal approaches with an in-depth exploration of societal implications, Regulating Creation deftly navigates the obstacles of legal policy amidst the rapid current of reproductive technological innovation.
Download or read book Better Medicine written by David Gratzer and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donner Prize-winning author Dr. David Gratzer (Code Blue) edits and introduces this collection of twelve essays on health care reform in Canada, advocating an open-minded approach to such concepts as privatization, two-tier health care, and user fees. Gratzer has assembled a stellar list of authors who invite Canadians to question their confidence in government-managed public health. Contributors include Order of Canada member and University of Toronto professor Michael Bliss, who argues that our current problems are the result of increasingly aggressive government measures to control patients and health-care providers.Globe and Mailcolumnist Margaret Wente offers vignettes that address the day-to-day problems of health care: queue jumping, excessive waits, provider burnout, aging equipment, and the politicization of health administration. And, Vancouver-based health analyst Cynthia Ramsey places Canada’s health care system in an international context. Her findings are unsettling. Other contributors include McGill economist andNational Postcontributor William Watson, former Quebec Medical Association president Dr. Edwin Coffey, former Ontario Medical Association president Dr. William Orovan, and Urban Futures Institute executive Director David Baxter. All Canadians concerned about the state of health care in Canada should read this informative and intelligent collection.

Download or read book Gestion et valuation des services sociaux written by Jean-Marc Dutrenit and published by FeniXX. This book was released on 1989-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'évaluation est devenue un « must » des Services sociaux, avec le développement des capacités opérationnelles des Sciences sociales, et la décentralisation. Rendre compte de l'acte quotidien de travail social, en mesurer l'impact sur le client, devient une exigence éthique, qui grandit chez les travailleurs sociaux et les cadres d'action sociale, en même temps que la conscience des budgets consacrés à ce secteur (2,2 % du PNB en 1985). Diagnostic et orientation des clients, choix des traitements, appréciation de leur rapport coût/avantage pour les individus et la Société, sont les bénéfices attendus de l'évaluation. Mais comment y parvenir, dans un contexte où les grands courants des Sciences humaines présentent des interprétations contradictoires du travail social ? Ce livre résout cet épineux problème, en montrant que les théories opposées du travail social, constituent, chacune, des cas de figure d'une théorie beaucoup plus générale de l'assistanciel. Les outils d'évaluation qui en sont déduits, sont si opératoires qu'ils ont pu prendre la forme d'un progiciel d'utilisation aussi simple que l'annuaire électronique du Minitel. Tout technicien, tout décideur, tout travailleur social peut les mettre à son service.

This book was released on 2000-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’évaluation : un mot clef pour le travail social et l’action sociale d’aujourd’hui, qui s’impose peu à peu comme une norme en tant que telle, indissociable de toute politique sociale. Elle mesure l’efficacit頗 voire l’efficience — de tout projet social qui, pour être reconnu crédible, doit se soumettre à l’évaluation — tant qualitative que quantitative — des objectifs, des moyens, des pratiques mises en œuvre, des résultats escomptés et obtenus. Mais quels sont les indicateurs les plus pertinents, pour évaluer l’action sociale et le travail social ? Sont-ils toujours lisibles pour les travailleurs sociaux, qui craignent parfois — légitimement — que l’évaluation soit surtout un moyen de contrôle, ne rendant que très partiellement compte de la réalité de leurs actions ? Alors que les phénomènes sociaux, et les progrès technologiques, bouleversent la notion de temps, forcent les décideurs à mettre rapidement en place des réponses aux problèmes posés, que les travailleurs sociaux se voient de plus en plus obligés d’intervenir en urgence, l’évaluation demande, quant à elle, de prendre le temps d’une distance avec le quotidien, d’un recul nécessaire face à l’immédiateté, d’un autre regard sur les logiques explicites et implicites de l’action sociale... Étrange paradoxe, qui interroge les modes d’évaluation, et en dénonce parfois les effets pervers... Il est cependant primordial que les travailleurs sociaux s’impliquent davantage dans les processus d’évaluation, qui leur permettront de mieux assumer leurs responsabilités et de théoriser leur pratique, tout en restant vigilants sur le respect des principes éthiques et déontologiques qui fondent leur action. L’évaluation d’aujourd’hui prépare le travail social et l’action sociale de demain.
