University of California Press The Quality Cure
Book SynopsisIn the United States, the soaring cost of health care has become an economic drag and a political flashpoint. Moreover, although the country's medical spending is higher than that of any other nation, health outcomes are no better than elsewhere, and in some cases are even worse. In The Quality Cure, renowned health care economist and former Obama advisor David Cutler offers an accessible and incisive account of the issues and their causes, as well as a road map for the future of health care reform--one that shows how information technology, realigned payment systems, and value-focused organizations together have the power to resolve this seemingly intractable problem and transform the US health care system into one that is affordable, efficient, and effective.Trade Review"Cutler has an exceptional ability to tackle an extremely complex topic, such as US health care spending, and make it simple and understandable for noneconomists while remaining true to the theory and science... The Quality Cure should be required reading for those who manage or provide care. In particular, medical students and residents need to understand the ideas in this compelling book. Until now, health care has not had such a simultaneously scholarly and accessible book. Those seasoned in policy making will benefit from Cutler's insider look, his clear and concise way of communicating complex topics, and the detailed references and figures. Those new to the policy efforts around reducing costs and improving quality will also benefit from Cutler's simplified conceptual framework, his clear and compelling language, and his disciplined approach... Cutler's experience, scholarship, and practical wisdom lay out a clear theory of change and policy recommendations for achieving it." -- Peter J.

Oxford University Press Inc Global Perspectives in Cancer Care
Book SynopsisWith cancer ranking as the primary or secondary cause of premature death in almost 100 countries worldwide, the World Health Organization recognized a high level of investment in cancer control and treatment (including palliative care) in 2019. At that time, governments at the World Health Assembly (WHA) unanimously adopted a new cancer resolution (Universal Health Coverage: Moving Together to Build a Healthier World). The resolution noted the potential for cancer prevention to reduce cancer burden in the future, while reducing the suffering from cancer in the communities.As most countries are facing an overall increase in the absolute number of cancer cases, large geographical diversity in cancer occurrence and variations in the magnitude and profile of the disease still continue between and within world regions. Specific types of cancer dominate globally: lung, female breast, and colorectal cancer. The regional variations in common cancer types signal the extent to which societal, ecTrade ReviewThis is an insightful book exploring different cultural perspectives surrounding cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Oxford University Press Caring for America
Book SynopsisIn this sweeping narrative history from the Great Depression of the 1930s to the Great Recession of today, Caring for America rethinks both the history of the American welfare state from the perspective of care work and chronicles how home care workers eventually became one of the most vibrant forces in the American labor movement. Eileen Boris and Jennifer Klein demonstrate the ways in which law and social policy made home care a low-waged job that was stigmatized as welfare and relegated to the bottom of the medical hierarchy. For decades, these front-line caregivers labored in the shadows of a welfare state that shaped the conditions of the occupation. Disparate, often chaotic programs for home care, which allowed needy, elderly, and disabled people to avoid institutionalization, historically paid poverty wages to the African American and immigrant women who constituted the majority of the labor force. Yet policymakers and welfare administrators linked discourses of dependence and iTrade ReviewAlthough Caring for America was the subject of numerous reviews at the time of its publication in 2012, it is only now, seven years later, that we can grasp the importance of its contribution to the literature on thecarework. * Sonya Michel, Clio: Femmes, Genre, Historie *Caring for America is a remarkable achievement. At once a simple story of how a large and growing sector of disadvantaged women fought for dignity and the right to be treated as workers, it is simultaneously a subtle analysis of the tension between private needs and state intervention. This inspiring tale is, in important ways, the story of modern America. * Alice Kessler-Harris, author of In Pursuit of Equity: Women, Men, and the Quest for Economic Citizenship in Twentieth Century America *This long awaited book is the definitive historical account of the growth of employment and unionization in publicly funded home care work. Boris and Klein provide a powerful, deeply researched analysis of this burgeoning type of 'intimate labor,' past and present. Caring for America is a must-read for anyone interested in low-wage work, the labor movement, and the future of the massive and rapidly expanding carework sector of the U.S. economy. * Ruth Milkman, City University of New York, and author of L.A. Story: Immigrant Workers and the Future of the U.S. Labor Movement *Caring for America is an outstanding study of an industry, social movements, and the people who compose them. It is fundamentally an analysis of a fight for social and economic justice and a tribute to a workforce that has emerged out of invisibility and become a source of energy for a workers' movement operating both inside and outside organized labor. Boris and Klein introduce the reader to a decades old struggle for dignity which has witnessed twists and turns but in order to sustain itself must rely on its own energy rather than the good-will of outsiders. * Bill Fletcher, Jr., co-author of Solidarity Divided and Visiting Scholar, CUNY Graduate Center *Is caring for the ill and the elderly real work or purely a labor of love? Engaging and deeply insightful, Eileen Boris and Jennifer Klein's Caring for America draws on historical record to make an irrefutable case for the social, economic, and political significance of carework. Scholars, policy-makers, and all of us who provide or require care should pay notice. * Viviana A. Zelizer, Lloyd Cotsen '50 Professor of Sociology, Princeton University *Eileen Boris and Jennifer Klein's Caring for America investigates the history of the home health care crisis. The study makes a significant contribution to labor history, welfare history, and the history of health care. ... Caring for America is thoroughly researched, sophisticated study by top scholars who have produced an important exploration of home health care in the United States." * The Journal of American History *Caring for America is an important, difficult, and timely book... [it] will be a tremendous asset to legal historians, labor historians, and scholars of the United States welfare state. * Law and History Review *Boris and Klein's study is exemplary... and is one of the finest studies anywhere of the complex political and economic interests that are associated with care. * Labour/Le Travail *Caring for America [is] part feminist critique of the welfare state, part labor history, part organizing case study... Boris and Klein meticulously trace the role of government policy in the creation of home care as a low-wage occupation. * DISSENT *Eileen Boris and Jennifer Klein fill a void in the literature devoted to care work by documenting the history of this struggle for recognition. In addition to its passionate yet sober prose style, the strength of the argument comes from the authors' particular perspective. While both are professional historians, they study home care work through the voices of worker activists who fought for justice. Thus, this text is as much a history of a social movement as it is a history of public policy. Indeed, the authors treat these two forces, policy and praxis, as dialectically related. And this dynamic, movement oriented character of the study reveals an authorial imagination as much sociological as historical. * Critical Sociology *Historians Boris and Klein give us a narrative of the development of this still-evolving job-as well as of the activism and organizing of these workers-that is at once compelling in its nuance and local specificity and sophisticated in it analytical breadth. ...a rich historical analysis... * Signs *This important book brings attention to a neglected segment of the contemporary US workforce. Caring for America is essential reading for historians of labor and the welfare state. Policymakers, organizers, workers, and current and future clients must take stock of the authors' crucial point that working conditions and the quality of care are interdependent. * Labor *Table of ContentsTable of Contents ; Illustrations ; Abbreviations ; Acknowledgments ; Preface: The Personal Is Prologue ; Introduction: Making the Private Public ; Chapter 1: Neither Nurses nor Maids ; Chapter 2: Rehabilitative Missions ; Chapter 3: Caring for the Great Society ; Chapter 4: Welfare Wars, Seventies Style ; Chapter 5: <"Take Us Out of Slavery>" ; Chapter 6: <"The Union Is Us>" ; Chapter 7: <"We Were the Invisible Workforce>" ; Epilogue: Challenging Care

The Merlin Press Ltd Socialist Register 2010 Health Under Capitalism
Book SynopsisA survey of the political economy of health. Morbid Symptoms focuses on the economic, social and political determinants of health under global capitalism, and on health care as an object of struggle between commercial forces seeking to make it into a field of profit, and popular forces fighting to keep it - or make it - a public service with equal access for all. Contributors survey structures of power and forces for change in national health care systems - from the UK, Germany and the USA to India, China, Sub-Saharan Africa and Cuba. They examine the impact of neo-liberal hegemony on the health industry, the WTO and the WHO; they consider key issues of international health policy: the marketisation of public health service HIV/AIDS in Africa; the control of medical research and training; the misuse of scientific data for commercial gain; the mistreatment of mental illness, the food industry's production of obesity and hunger, and the turning of genes into commodities.Trade Review'Morbid Symptoms will be studied, and indeed enjoyed, and help stir political action, far beyond the worldwide community of socialist minded activists and scholars.

CRC Press Artificial Intelligence of HealthEnabled Spaces
Book SynopsisArtificial Intelligence of Health-Enabled Spaces (AIoH) has made a number of revolutionary advances in clinical studies that we are aware of. Among these advances, intelligent and medical services are gaining a great deal of interest. Nowadays, AI-powered technologies are not only used in saving lives, but also in our daily life activities in diagnosing, controlling, and even tracking of COVID-19 patients. These AI-powered solutions are expected to communicate with cellular networks smoothly in the next-generation networks (5G/6G and beyond) for more effective/critical medical applications. This will open the door for other interesting research areas. This book focuses on the development and analysis of artificial intelligence (AI) model applications across multiple disciplines. AI-based deep learning models, fuzzy and hybrid intelligent systems, and intrinsic explainable models are also presented in this book. Some of the fields considered in this smart health-oriented book include AI applications in electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, environmental engineering, computer engineering, education, cyber security, chemistry, pharmacy, molecular biology, and tourism.This book is dedicated to addressing the major challenges in fighting diseases and psychological issues using AI.

Taylor & Francis Transforming Healthcare Through Negotiation
Book SynopsisNegotiation skills are an essential part of the healthcare practice. Physicians, healthcare administrators, and other professionals must understand how to advocate for their priorities and balance the competing interests of saving lives and patient safety with revenue and existing insurance or supply chain contracts. This process must occur in tandem with navigating the novel challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and changing healthcare regulations. Transforming Negotiations in Healthcare: The HEAR Approach offers a transformative negotiation approach developed for anyone negotiating in the healthcare space. The HEAR approach is premised on the belief that the practice of medicine, the business of health, and the delivery of care require a nuanced and balanced set of negotiation skills not widely addressed in the currently available negotiation literature. Unlike traditional business negotiations, healthcare is not solely transactional. Thus, attempts to graft traditional business negotiation strategies and tactics into negotiations related to the delivery of care and practice of medicine are inappropriate and insufficient. Effectiveness in healthcare or negotiations is inextricably linked to the same thing â the quality of human interaction. The HEAR approach empowers parties to engage in a more productive negotiation process by providing negotiators with tools to develop the skills to strategically incorporate and leverage the relational aspects that underpin most situations within healthcare. Through this relational orientation, HEAR provides a mechanism to change the nature of the negotiation by identifying opportunities for transformative shifts â the moments during the negotiation where parties reach new understandings of their situation and each other. In this space, we offer strategies for the parties to work together and reimagine the goal of the negotiation and successfully reach a mutually agreeable outcome. Rooted in real-world examples, Transforming Negotiations in Healthcare: The HEAR Approach provides a step-by-step process for preparing for and engaging in the complexities of healthcare negotiations. In addition, this book provides readers with the tools to develop a special skill set suited to healthcare and any situation that encompasses the relational aspects of human communication, such as the workplace or oneâs personal life.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Management Control in Hospitals
Book SynopsisFor years, problems related to health-care efficiency have been at the top of the priorities of many hospitals systems and governments. The growing cost of health care, and particularly hospitals, is a significant factor in the increasing pressure for improvement of hospitals' efficiency while maintaining a high quality of services. Hospitals are recognized as organizations in which waste, unnecessary administrative burdens, failures of care coordination, failures in execution of care processes, and even fraud and abuse are frequently identified as causes. Adoption of management control as a response to hospital problems is consistent with the conviction that control is a critical management function that has the greatest impact on organizational performance. Research proves that the lack of adequate control, adapted to modern organizational solutions, causes many harmful consequences, such as faulty services, dissatisfied patients and employees, inability to effectively compTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Comparative Health Systems
Book SynopsisThe standard classifications of health systems don''t allow for the complexity and variety that exists around the world. Federico Toth sets out a new framework for understanding the many ways in which health systems can be organized and systematically analyses the health systems chosen by 27 OECD countries. He provides a great deal of up-to-date data on financing models, healthcare spending, insurance coverage, methods of organizing providers, healthcare personnel, remuneration methods for doctors and hospitals, development trajectories and recent reforms.
