Download or read book The Affordable Care Act and Medicare in Comparative Context written by Eleanor D. Kinney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burdened with perennially rising costs and responsible for providing health insurance to more than one sixth of all Americans, Medicare in its original form is fiscally and demographically unsustainable. In light of dramatic reforms under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), this book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of Medicare. Eleanor D. Kinney explains how the ACA addresses systemic problems of cost and volume inflation, quality assurance, and fraud. Recognizing the potential for more radical change in the future, Kinney also explores the potential of Medicare to become a single-payer system. Comparisons are made with national health systems in Canada and the United Kingdom, from which the United States can draw valuable lessons. An approachable yet comprehensive account of Medicare and the ACA, this book will be invaluable for health care professionals and informed citizens.
Download or read book Scottish Social Democracy written by Michael Keating and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scotland is a country of strong progressive traditions and could be a model for a renewed social democracy. Devolution has given it a chance to show what a small self-governing nation, within a wider British and European Union, can do. Yet the authors of this volume are disappointed by the lack of policy innovation since 1999. In an effort to relaunch the debate, they offer a range of ideas for new thinking and new policies for Scotland of the twenty-first century. Whether independent or devolved, Scotland faces the same challenge: how to harness the energies of the nation and to combine economic competitiveness with social cohesion.
Download or read book A Guide to the NHS written by Tony White and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To maximise the effectiveness of their work, NHS employees need a clear understanding of the structures and systems of the organisation in which they work. However, this information can be widely spread, hard to access and difficult to gain a working overview of, and the pace of changes and initiatives can seem almost dizzying. This book draws together a clear picture of the modern NHS, from funding and governance to reports, inquiries and overarching legislation. The book is clear and easy to understand and crucially includes full references to provide a one-stop point of access to the most detailed and up-to-date information available. This book is essential reading for workers in the NHS at all levels, including managers, administrators and clinical professionals. It is vital reading for managers and staff at commercial companies working with the NHS. It will also be of interest to campaigners, patient interest groups, researchers and journalists with an interest in the NHS. Specialty registrars and consultants can also find the information from the book, and much more, in The Doctor's Handbook Parts 1 & 2, by the same author. 'Rather than long narrative histories or complex explanations, the author signposts readers to sources of further information, making this book the quick guide so many of us need' - from the Foreword by Sir Ian Carruthers

Download or read book The NHS in Scotland written by Chris Nottingham and published by Ashgate Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Scottish devolution moves from plan to reality the onus is on the new Executive and Parliament to deliver policies which identify and serve the needs of the Scottish people in a new way. This timely study brings together leading specialists in health policy to examine the effects that devolution will have on Scotland's health service. It provides insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the last 50 years of Scotland's health policy and offers a basis for evaluating the possibilities for the future. In view of the dominant position of health in public expenditure, the scale of Scotland's problems, and the intensity of public interest, this is a social and political issue which will be of critical importance to the future success of the newly devolved Scottish Parliament.

Download or read book The Doctor s Handbook written by Tony White and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many doctors do not receive training early in their careers on the broad range of non-clinical aspects of their work, and confront day-to-day issues for which initial medical education has failed to prepare them. Experienced doctors and consultants can also experience a similar lack of accessible reference material on these aspects of their role and for the non-clinical training of their juniors. This book and its companion volume The Doctor's Handbook Part 1: managing your role beyond clinical medicine, have been written to address these and other needs. Previously published as The Specialist Registrar and New Consultant Handbook, these completely revised and reconfigured volumes reflect the changing everyday work of specialist trainees, registrars and consultants.

Download or read book Crossing the Global Quality Chasm written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-01-27 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, building on the advances of the Millennium Development Goals, the United Nations adopted Sustainable Development Goals that include an explicit commitment to achieve universal health coverage by 2030. However, enormous gaps remain between what is achievable in human health and where global health stands today, and progress has been both incomplete and unevenly distributed. In order to meet this goal, a deliberate and comprehensive effort is needed to improve the quality of health care services globally. Crossing the Global Quality Chasm: Improving Health Care Worldwide focuses on one particular shortfall in health care affecting global populations: defects in the quality of care. This study reviews the available evidence on the quality of care worldwide and makes recommendations to improve health care quality globally while expanding access to preventive and therapeutic services, with a focus in low-resource areas. Crossing the Global Quality Chasm emphasizes the organization and delivery of safe and effective care at the patient/provider interface. This study explores issues of access to services and commodities, effectiveness, safety, efficiency, and equity. Focusing on front line service delivery that can directly impact health outcomes for individuals and populations, this book will be an essential guide for key stakeholders, governments, donors, health systems, and others involved in health care.
Download or read book Delivering for health written by NHSScotland and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our overarching aim is to improve Scotland's health. Policies and actions across the Scottish Executive support that central objective. We are building an integrated approach to health that has the NHS at its core. The approach sets out to tackle determinants of population health, particularly through action to close the 'health gap' that blights the lives of people in our disadvantaged communities. This plan is therefore about more than the future shape of our NHS. It also brings together elements of wider policy the Scottish Executive has been developing for a number of years that impact on Scotland's health. Health care makes an important contribution to health improvement. Our plans for the health service to reach out with earlier intervention (anticipatory care) make this link explicit, emphasising the importance of delivering health care that is fair to all and personal to each. We expect the NHS to provide care that is tailored to the needs of the individual, drawing on the ...
