Springer Nature Switzerland AG Connecting Healthcare Worker Well-Being, Patient Safety and Organisational Change: The Triple Challenge
Book SynopsisThis volume delineates the ways in which key areas of healthcare, well-being, patient safety and organisational change overlap with and contribute to unhealthy workplaces for healthcare professionals. There is a growing realisation within healthcare that healthcare worker well-being, patient outcomes and organisational change are symbiotically linked. Burnout and stress in healthcare workers and toxic organisational cultures can lead to a cycle of patient neglect, medical errors, sub-optimal care and further stress. This topical volume therefore outlines the ways in which worker well-being, patient outcomes and organisational change can be aligned to contribute to a healthy workplace and therefore better medical care. The volume includes an array of authors from different disciplines including primary care, clinical medicine, psychology, sociology, management, clinical governance, health policy and health services research. It succeeds in integrating different voices and reaches meaningful conclusions to address the challenges facing the healthcare workforce.Table of Contents

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Populist Radical Right and Health: National
Book SynopsisThis contributed volume is the first in-depth analysis of the health policies of populist radical right (PRR) parties worldwide and their actual involvement in health care. The prominence of authoritarian, nationalistic, and populist parties is expanding steadily. However, it is often difficult to discern what kind of policies they really stand for, particularly with regard to the welfare state and public health, where research remains sparse. This book fills this critical gap. The text connects PRR parties and leaders with actual health and social policy effects in Eastern and Western Europe as well as in the United States, Brazil, and the Philippines. The chapters highlight ten individual country case studies authored by young scholars and professors with political science and health experts: The Austrian Freedom Party in Government: A Threat to Public Health? The Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Health Policy: Normalization or Containment of Populist Radical Right Tendencies? Populist Radical Right Influence on Health Policy in the Netherlands: The Case of the Party for Freedom (PVV) The Evolution of the Populist Radical Right and Their Impact on Health in Italy The Populist Radical Right and Health in Hungary Is the Polish 'Law and Justice' (PiS) a Typical Populist Radical Right Party? A Health Policy Perspective The Case of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) Rhetoric and Reality in the United States of America: Trump, Populism, and Health Policy Ruling Through Chaos in Brazil: Bolsonaro's Authoritarian Agenda for Public Health An Authoritarian Reaction to COVID-19 in the Philippines: A Strong Commitment to Universal Health Care Combined with Violent Securitization The Populist Radical Right and Health is exceptionally timely and essential reading for political science and health colleagues researching and writing about PRR parties and leaders; students and faculty in public health, health and social policy, and political science; and anyone interested in learning more about this topic.Table of ContentsI. Introduction (Falkenbach, Guicciardi, and Moise)• Current layout of PRR parties - who they are, how they are classified, and why we think a new classification is necessary.• Difference between Left and Right and why we focus on the Right (see image in original proposal - attachment tab).• Current layout of PRR parties and their impact on health - who made it into government and a brief overview of the very limited resources available on this topic.• Policies important to these parties while in government. o Compare PRR parties’ manifestos to what they actually accomplished.• Limitations to the definition of health policy.II. Framework (Falkenbach, Guicciardi, and Moise)• The development of a new framework to identify PRR parties worldwide• Placing them on a spectrum (perhaps 2- or even 3-dimensional) - see below example (attachment tab), third-dimension economics could be added. o Add clientelism and corruption for eastern countries as neededIII. Case Studies – the case studies chosen for this project represent countries that either have or had PRR parties in government and continue to struggle with their electoral strength or have been experiencing a steady increase in support for PRR parties.• INTRO - Short history of the party, with a focus on the cultural/social background of the country. § How did the PRR party develop? § What kind of a role did they play in politics and were they accepted by other parties (SD/CD)? § Did the party’s tactics change over time, why? § Current strength/influence of the party in relation to other parties.• Reasons why we can consider the party as being PRR – follow conceptual framework.• POLICY FOCUS - Starting point for policy focus beginning 2000s unless there were influential policies previously passed that still have an impact today.• List relevant health policies adopted or proposed in the suggested table format.• CONCLUSION - Impact of the PRR party’s policies, with references to quantitative/qualitative studies.• Prediction of PRR parties influence in general over the next years - i.e., will they still be in government, why, why not?• Potential new health policies in the next few years.• Summary box with the most important 4 or 5 “take-home messages”.a.

ConclusionTying together the cases with overall findings.• Health is typically ignored by the PRR, often too controversial.• If there is a coalition partner (in most cases there will be), they will usually be of a Christian Democratic nature and will usually have more power/say than the PRR that will result in the PRR getting stuck with partially unpopular ministries (other than defense and interior), where they will be forced to make rather unpopular reforms that serve the agenda of the stronger coalition party (CD)• Highlight possible outcomes.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Controlling im Krankenhaus: Das Zusammenspiel von
Book SynopsisDieses Buch fromuliert und beleuchtet Werte aus der Sicht der Ökonomie und Anforderungen aus der Ethik als Ausgangsbasis für eine differenzierte Betrachtung von Controlling. Als ein wesentlicher Ansatz der letzten Jahre wird die Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) konstruktiv-kritisch analysiert. Neben der Wertediskussion ist die Bedeutung der Prozesse für das Gesundheitswesen immer wieder hervorgehoben worden. In zwei Beiträgen wird dabei die Ergänzung um das Blueprinting und die Möglichkeiten des Lean Management herausgearbeitet. Soll eine Ausrichtung an Werten und eine verbesserte Struktierung von Prozessen gelingen, dann sind unabdingbar Innovationen zu gestalten und voranzutreiben. Dabei wird in diesem Buch ein Innovationscontrolling entwickelt, um diese Entwicklung zu begleiten und die Bedeutung von Verzerrungen hervorgehoben. Ausführungen zu einer Optimierung des Controlling unter Beachtung der Konzeption um ein Behavioral Accounting und zu einer fallmixorientierten Vorgehensweise schließen das Buch ab. Nur wenn Klarheit und Konsensus über die angestrebten Werte besteht, können Prozesse eingeleitet werden, um das Arbeitsziel otpimaler zu erreichen. Dazu bedarf nicht nur eingefahrener Wege und Überlegungen, sondern innovativer Gestaltungskraft. Das Buch möchte hierzu Wege aufzeigen.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Healthcare Management: Managed Care Organisations
Book SynopsisThis textbook on Healthcare Management provides a systematic and comprehensive overview of the organisational forms and management instruments implemented in managed care.Within the international discussion on the structure of healthcare systems, managed care is an increasingly important topic. Over more than twenty years managed care approaches have fundamentally influenced healthcare systems in terms of patient orientation, efficiency, and quality. Experts assume that up to 20% of healthcare expenses can be saved by applying high-quality managed care approaches. By using suitable organisational forms and management principles, not only can costs be reduced, but the quality of medical service provision can be augmented. Managed care is therefore much more than a cost-cutting strategy. Advocates consider managed care to be a logical and necessary developmental step in modern healthcare systems. An increase in quality and at the same time a reduction of costs is not seen as contradictory but rather as consistent. Therefore, managed care is a response to changed challenges in the provision of healthcare.Table of ContentsPart I: Basic Ideas of Managed Care.- Definitions and Concepts.- Main Characteristics of the American Healthcare System.- Theoretical Concepts for the Assessment of Managed Care.- Part II: Managed Care Organisations and Products.- Preliminary Remarks.- Insurance-Based Managed Care Organisations and Products.- Provider-Based Managed Care Organisations and Products.- Institutions in the Managed Care Environment.- Conclusion.- Part III: Managed Care Instruments.- Contract Design.- Compensation Systems.- Quality Management.- Cost Management.- Evaluation Procedure.- Part IV: Evaluation of Managed Care.- Preliminary Remarks.- Cost Effects of Managed Care.- Quality Effects of Managed Care.- Access Effects of Managed Care.- Acceptance of Managed Care.- Conclusion.- Index.
