Download or read book Realising Values written by Kelly J. Glubb-Smith and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Values are an abstract concept, being numerous, interrelated and hard to discern in practice. Social work values represent the profession’s fundamental beliefs about what is important, and they serve to guide actions and practice perspectives. This research involved an examination of how social work practice is enacted within District Health Boards in Aotearoa New Zealand in order to locate the influence of professional values in practice. The research specifically investigates how health social workers working with newborn infants, and their whānau, experience and negotiate professional and contextual value demands. This constructivist grounded theory research involved two phases of semistructured individual interviews. A critical incident technique was utilised initially with 15 participants to discern the realities of health social work practice. The participants were then re-interviewed to collaboratively explore the emerging theory derived from their collective critical incidents about how value demands are negotiated in the complex landscape of health social work practice. The theoretical knowledge developed from this research is that health social workers endeavour to control the middle ground of a very complex practice environment riven with competing value demands. Within this practice context, the participants felt that their role was often misunderstood and under-recognised. Health social workers’ unique professional perspective situates them within the middle ground, between medical professionals and patients, and attending to issues of social need. They work predominantly within the to generate space and voice to enhance the way that patients and their whānau navigate the health system, courageously working to ensure that rights and obligations are upheld, and that voices are heard. The place of social justice as the primary organising value that underpins social work practice is affirmed by this research The research findings suggest that health social workers practise in a hectic, crisis-ridden environment, which means that macro-oriented social justice action was very restricted and secondary to reacting to unfolding urgent demands and organisational requirements. Health social workers with newborn infants hold a unique skillset and body of knowledge that is suited to managing complexity and juggling competing demands. This is partly due to a critical understanding held by them about systems-in-action. Strengthening health social workers collective voice and identity through a focus on the profession’s values would allow them to have a stronger influence on future policy directions. If enabled through community outreach, they are well placed to manage the middle ground between hospital and home, and be crucial lynchpins between whānau, child protection services and DHB services to effectively address the systemic drivers of health inequities.

Download or read book Negotiating Public Health in a Globalized World written by David Fairman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a new era of global health diplomacy, the most important tool for decision-making is negotiation. Globalization is binding countries, issues and people together as never before. In the domain of public health, traditional international concerns like the spread of infectious diseases have been joined by new concerns and challenges in managing the health impacts of trade and intellectual property rights, and by new opportunities to create effective global public health agreements and programs. To address the major health crises of today and to prevent or mitigate them in the future, countries must seek collective agreement and action within and across their borders. However, the world of international negotiation is not the world in which health decision-makers reside or are most comfortable. The goal of this guide is to provide health policy-makers with practical information and negotiation tools, to help them create better international health agreements and programs. "This is the best book I know to help health professionals develop the negotiation skills necessary to meet the challenges of global health diplomacy. It is filled with wise advice and invaluable tools for success." Professor Jeswald W. Salacuse, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.
Download or read book Negotiating the Crisis written by Patricia Geist and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1984 Congress revamped Medicare to save a financially distraught health care system, thus transforming the hospital as an organization. Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) -- the cornerstone of this extensive reorganization -- have triggered repercussions that are still adversely affecting health care professionals. This volume cuts to the heart of this crisis, examining the difficulties and foibles of going from DRG Legislation to DRG practices and giving voice to the professionals who must carve out a new reality under DRGs. It exposes the disputes between the various professional groups -- administrators, physicians, and nurses --over the implementation of DRGS, and how these professionals maneuver to manage the health service problems created by the policy. The book's authors provide an insightful analysis of the way policy innovations can wreak havoc on an organization and how professionals working together eventually negotiate order out of the chaos of change. The volume's narrative style of research is one feature that makes the presentation of the authors' findings unique from other works on Medicare legislation. Additionally, the book offers a case study approach to communication and sociological matters of a significant health care issue.
Download or read book Negotiating Opportunities written by Jessica McCrory Calarco and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Negotiating Opportunities, Jessica McCrory Calarco argues that the middle class has a negotiated advantage in school. Drawing on five years of ethnographic fieldwork, Calarco traces that negotiated advantage from its origins at home to its consequences at school. Through their parents' coaching, working-class students learn to follow rules and work through problems independently. Middle-class students learn to challenge rules and request assistance, accommodations, and attention in excess of what is fair or required. Teachers typically grant those requests, creating advantages for middle-class students. Calarco concludes with recommendations, advocating against deficit-oriented programs that teach middle-class behaviors to working-class students. Those programs ignore the value of working-class students' resourcefulness, respect, and responsibility, and they do little to prevent middle-class families from finding new opportunities to negotiate advantages in school.
