Download or read book Partnership Working in Health and Social Care written by Glasby, Jon and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2014-01-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UK health and social care are increasingly being asked to work together across traditional agency boundaries. Although this sounds easy in theory, doing it in practice is complicated and difficult. In many cases, moreover, current training programmes, research and textbooks are even more divided than front-line services, and practitioners and managers are often being given the task of making partnerships work without the necessary support. Against this background, the second edition of this bestselling book provides a concise 'warts and all' introduction to partnership and integration, summarising updated references to current policy and research, setting out useful frameworks and approaches, and helping policy makers and practitioners to work more effectively together, with greater emphasis on ‘integrated care’. Written by the leading authors in the field and fully updated since the Health and Social Care Act 2012, the book is also fully evidence- and research-based, while still being accessible and applicable to everyday practice. Aimed at students, practitioners, managers and policy makers in health and social care, and including new reflective exercises and boxed examples, this is still the one book that everyone in the field should read.

Download or read book Partnership Working in Public Health written by Hunter, David J. and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UK government’s reforms of the NHS and public health system require partnerships if they are to succeed. Those partnerships concerned with public health are especially important and are deemed to be a ’good thing’ which add, rather than consume, value. Yet the significant emphasis on partnership working to secure effective policy and service delivery exists despite the evidence testifying to how difficult it is to make partnerships work or achieve results. Partnership working in public health presents the findings from a detailed study of public health partnerships in England. The lessons from the research are used to explore the government’s changes in public health now being implemented, most of which centre on new partnerships called Health and Wellbeing Boards that have been established to work differently from their predecessors.The book assesses their likely impact and the implications for the future of public health partnerships. Drawing on systems thinking, it argues that partnerships can only succeed if they work in quite different ways. The book will therefore appeal to the public health community and students of health policy.

Download or read book The New Partnership written by Tom Melohn and published by Omne_o. This book was released on 1994 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Across America, there is a clear sense that companies must manage people in innovative, flexible ways that could not have been imagined in the previous decade. Wading through this maze of new management approaches, from self-directed work teams to empowerment to total quality, often leaves companies, their management, and employees completely confused without any significant bottom-line results." "Above this din of the latest management "fad," The New Partnership offers a new currency that can produce real bottom-line results in any organization. Based on timeless concepts such as trust, honesty, dignity, equality, mutual respect, teamwork, recognition, and caring, Tom Melohn (CEO, owner, and "Head Sweeper") and his partners produced remarkable results in a company called North American Tool & Die. And as a result, NATD forged a lasting "new partnership" with each coworker, customer, and supplier." "The New Partnership reveals the stories, insights, candid experiences, and combined wisdom of Melohn and his partners during their twelve year odyssey. You'll see how they transformed their company through restoring fundamental values to the workplace." "From "Hiring Eagles" to "Quality in the Head and the Heart" to "It All Starts with Honesty," you'll also see how to make the NATD experience a reality in your company, division, or department. Each chapter delivers insights, "plain talk," and partnership action steps that will help make the New Partnership a reality for you." "In contrast, Melohn also vividly describes how most big corporations avoid dealing with these fundamental values. These stories, found in every chapter, show how the results of continued neglect are accelerating the decline of these organizations." "The real lesson of The New Partnership is simple....If you reach out and genuinely care for your fellow employees, there is no limit to what you can accomplish. And you can achieve these same results in your job, at no added cost - except for your lasting commitment to your "new partners.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Communities in Action written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
