Book Description
This review incorporates the views and visions of 2,000 clinicians and other health and social care professionals from every NHS region in England, and has been developed in discussion with patients, carers and the general public. The changes proposed are locally-led, patient-centred and clinically driven. Chapter 2 identifies the challenges facing the NHS in the 21st century: ever higher expectations; demand driven by demographics as people live longer; health in an age of information and connectivity; the changing nature of disease; advances in treatment; a changing health workplace. Chapter 3 outlines the proposals to deliver high quality care for patients and the public, with an emphasis on helping people to stay healthy, empowering patients, providing the most effective treatments, and keeping patients as safe as possible in healthcare environments. The importance of quality in all aspects of the NHS is reinforced in chapter 4, and must be understood from the perspective of the patient's safety, experience in care received and the effectiveness of that care. Best practice will be widely promoted, with a central role for the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in expanding national standards. This will bring clarity to the high standards expected and quality performance will be measured and published. The review outlines the need to put frontline staff in control of this drive for quality (chapter 5), with greater freedom to use their expertise and skill and decision-making to find innovative ways to improve care for patients. Clinical and managerial leadership skills at the local level need further development, and all levels of staff will receive support through education and training (chapter 6). The review recommends the introduction of an NHS Constitution (chapter 7). The final chapter sets out the means of implementation.

Book Description
Community Justice discusses concepts of community within the context of justice policy and programs, and addresses the important relationship between the criminal justice system and the community in the USA. Taking a bold stance in the criminal justice debate, this book argues that crime management is more effective through the use of informal (as opposed to formal) social control. It demonstrates how an increasing number of criminal justice elements are beginning to understand that the development of partnerships within the community that enhance informal social control will lead to a stabilization and possible a decline in crime, especially violent crime, and make communities more liveable. Borrowing from an eclectic toolbox of ideas and strategies - community organizing, environmental crime prevention, private-public partnerships, justice initiatives – Community Justice puts forward a new approach to establishing safe communities, and highlights the failure of the current American justice system in its lack of vision and misuse of resources. Providing detailed information about how community justice fits within each area of the criminal justice system, and including relevant case studies to exemplify this philosophy in action, this book is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of subjects such as criminology, law and sociology.

Book Description
The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis was, perhaps, the most successful nonprofit organization in history, yet you’ve probably never heard of it. That’s because it did such a good job of eradicating polio back in the 1940s and ’50s that it nearly put itself out of business. But, rather than abandon a highly effective fund-raising organization, the NFIP transformed itself into an equally successful organization dedicated to children with birth defects … the March of Dimes. Faced with shrinking budgets, rapidly changing social needs, a hostile political climate, and ever more intense public scrutiny, today’s nonprofit organizations, like the NFIP before them, are finding that it’s not enough to simply update a mission statement or patch over a list of outdated goals. They’re discovering that survival now depends on the ability to effect real change the same way corporate giants such as IBM, GM, and Hewlett-Packard have, by reinventing themselves from the ground up—in other words, through reengineering. And while there are dozens of excellent guides on strategic transformation in the for-profit sector, until now, there have been none devoted exclusively to nonprofit reengineering. Written by a former "Big 6" partner, Reengineering Your Nonprofit Organization does for the nonprofit world what Michael Hammer and James Champy’s classic, Reengineering the Corporation, does for the for-profit sector—it offers a comprehensive blueprint for radical strategic change. But this book goes further. It considers not only the lessons learned from the corporate world, but also the special needs and concerns of the nonprofit sector. Rather than attempt to overlay a business reengineering paradigm over nonprofit organizations, Alceste T. Pappas offers an original model designed around the unique character of the modern nonprofit organization. In place of the traditional nonprofit stopgap approach to managing change, she offers a "zero-base" approach that incorporates a host of proven techniques for assessing and radically redesigning all facets of your operation, including mission and goals, organizational structure, and business processes. She introduces some of the most innovative new strategies for establishing partnerships and forming alliances, allocating resources, and involving staff and volunteers in the reengineering process. Dr. Pappas also presents a "best practices" approach to establishing new more efficient and cost-effective systems. Packed with case studies of innovative organizations that have fundamentally changed some or all aspects of their operations, Reengineering Your Nonprofit Organization shows how you can remain true to your organization’s vision and still meet your bottom line. Finally, Dr. Pappas provides a rational framework for measuring success and sustaining growth and improvement during the years ahead. Reengineering Your Nonprofit Organization is essential reading for all those involved in strategic planning and reengineering, from executive directors and other paid staff to fund-raisers and volunteer board members.
