Review The Nation's Physician Workforce: Options for Balancing Supply and Requirements / National Academies Press:Enormous changes are occurring in the organization and financing of the U. S. health care system-rapid changes that are being driven by market forces rather than by government initiatives. Although it is difficult to predict what they system will look like once it begins to stabilize, the changes will affect all components of the health care workforce, and the numbers and types of health care professionals that will be needed in the future-as well as the roles they will fill-will surely be much different than they were in the past. Despite numerous studies in the past 15 years showing that we might have more doctors than we need, the number of physicians in residency training continues to grow. At the same time, there is evidence that the demand for physician services will decrease as a result of growth of managed care. All of this is evidence that the demand for physician services will decrease as a result of growth of managed care. All of this is taking place at a time when, coincident with the result of failure of comprehensive health care reform, there is no coordinated and widely accepted physician workforce policy in the United States. The present study examines the following three questions: (1) Is there a physician policy in the United States? (2) If there a surplus, what is its likely impact on the cost, quality, and access to health care and on the efficient use of human resources? (3) What realistic steps can be taken to deal with a physician surplus? December.

Review Institutional Change and Healthcare Organizations : From Professional Dominance to Managed Care / University Of Chicago Press:Few large institutions have changed as fully and dramatically as the U. S. healthcare system since World War II. Compared to the 1930s, healthcare now incorporates a variety of new technologies, service-delivery arrangements, financing mechanisms, and underlying sets of organizing principles. This book examines the transformations that have occurred in medical care systems in the San Francisco Bay area since 1945. The authors describe these changes in detail and relate them to both the sociodemographic trends in the Bay Area and to shifts in regulatory systems and policy environments at local, state, and national levels. But this is more than a social history; the authors employ a variety of theoretical perspectives—including strategic management, population ecology, and institutional theory—to examine five types of healthcare organizations through quantitative data analysis and illustrative case studies. Providing a thorough account of changes for one of the nation's leading metropolitan areas in health service innovation, this book is a landmark in the theory of organizations and in the history of healthcare systems.

Review Improving the Quality of Long-Term Care / National Academies Press:(Institute of Medicine) Comprehensive examination of long-term care today. Explores the quality of long-term care in nursing homes, health agencies, and other care settings, describing the state of care and identifying problem areas. Also looks at the populations that use long-term health care, identifying their needs, as compared to past populations. DNLM: Long-Term Care-United States. Among the issues confronting America is long-term care for frail, older persons and others with chronic conditions and functional limitations that limit their ability to care for themselves. Improving the Quality of Long-Term Care takes a comprehensive look at the quality of care and quality of life in long-term care, including nursing homes, home health agencies, residential care facilities, family members and a variety of others. This book describes the current state of long-term care, identifying problem areas and offering recommendations for federal and state policymakers. Who uses long-term care? How have the characteristics of this population changed over time? What paths do people follow in long term care? The committee provides the latest information on these and other key questions. This book explores strengths and limitations of available data and research literature especially for settings other than nursing homes, on methods to measure, oversee, and improve the quality of long-term care. The committee makes recommendations on setting and enforcing standards of care, strengthening the caregiving workforce, reimbursement issues, and expanding the knowledge base to guide organizational and individual caregivers in improving the quality of care.

Review Aids: Effective Health Communication For The 90s: Effective Health Communicaton for the 90's / Taylor & Francis:Despite educational efforts, the majority of Americans are still under the misconception that they are not at risk from HIV/AIDS infection.

Contributors are experienced researchers, educators, government officials, and physicians. They examine the issue from a number of standpoints, including: communication, adolescent medicine, public administration, psychology, journalism, audiology, speech and language pathology, neurological surgery, preventive medicine and public health.

Review Crossing the River: Creating a Conceptual Revolution in Community & Disability / Brookline Books:The first revolution in care for people with disabilities created community services and was to be decisive in improving the situation of people with developmental disabilities. However, community based services are falling victim to serious and perhaps intractable problems. Task forces meet. Remedial actions are proposed. Yet underlying these actions lies a sense that the breakdown is proceeding so rapidly that our efforts may be in vain. In this book, Mr. Schwartz points out the promise and potential of a new conception emerging in community based living. This approach seeks to embed these persons with disabilities in a web of personal relationships to the other people in their community and ways are found to involve them intrinsically in its flow. He illustrates how this conception can work through a series of exciting experiments in social policy in Pennsylvania.
