Author: Jeffrey Braithwaite (Editor), Russell Mannion (Editor), Yukihiro Matsuyama (Editor), Paul Shekelle (Editor), Stuart Whittaker (Editor), Samir Al-Adawi (Editor) Full Title: Health Systems Improvement Across The Globe: Success Stories From 60 Countries Publisher: CRC Press; 1 edition (August 23, 2017) Year: 2018 ISBN-13: 9781472482044 (978-1-4724-8204-4), 9781315586359 (978-1-315-58635-9) ISBN-10: 1472482042, 1315586355 Pages: 606 Language: English Genre: Healthcare File type: PDF (True, but nonnative Cover) Quality: 9/10 Price: £115.00 Following on from 2015’s Healthcare Reform, Quality and Safety: Perspectives, Participants, Partnerships and Prospects in 30 Countries, this book encompasses a global perspective on healthcare while shifting the focus from reform to showcasing success stories of healthcare systems worldwide. It provides explanations of why various facets of healthcare systems work well in different contexts and offers the reader alternative models for consideration. The book features contributions from 60 countries, going much further than the common practice of focusing on affluent Western nations, to provide a comprehensive exploration of the success of healthcare systems globally. The majority of literature on health-sector improvement attempts to address the problems within systems, relating the errors that can and do occur, for example, and offering solutions and preventative strategies. This book of country case studies will approach the enhancement of health systems, patient safety and the quality of care in a new and innovative way, comprehensively surveying and synthesizing the success stories of healthcare systems around the world, utilizing Hollnagel’s Safety-II approach to acknowledge the importance of exploring what goes right, what works well, and why it works. These success stories may include reference to macro, meso or micro levels of healthcare systems, various sectors (e.g., aged care, acute care or primary care), or specific programs or projects. Health System Improvement Across the Globe: Success Stories from 60 Countries is unprecedented in terms of both reach and positive emphasis, and as such will be instrumental in changing ways of thinking about and guiding health-sector improvement. Features: ✓ Case studies from authors drawn from low-, middle- and high-income countries. The authors were given a specific assignment by the editors: to choose, from the myriad of things going on in their health system, one success story. ✓ Provides insights into what can be done in other countries for those interested in change and improvement through emulating others’ accomplishments. ------------- Our members see more.
