Administration Ethics
Author: Joseph Byrne
Publisher: Canadian Scholars’ Press
ISBN: 1551309637
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
There are few industries in which decisions are so intently scrutinized by millions of Canadians as the healthcare industry. Each day important decisions concerning the funding and delivery of healthcare are made far from the patient’s bed, in the offices of administrators and policy makers. These decisions can have considerable impact on the lives of patients and the practice of healthcare professionals. Whether you are a seasoned executive or an entry-level manager, Administration Ethics is intended to assist you in rendering effective and ethical decisions. Brimming with engaging examples, this text provides a practical guide to understanding the essential but often challenging areas of ethics theories, principles, codes, and rights, and insightfully illustrates how these concepts are integrated. Administration Ethics goes beyond academic debate and enters the daily practice of health administration. It examines the psychology of decision making, revealing how we sometimes make well-intentioned, but unethical decisions. Each chapter includes illustrative cases pertinent to the ethical management and policy decisions required of healthcare administrators. Featuring a new, user-friendly decision model and designed specifically with the Canadian healthcare system in mind, this volume will be an indispensable resource for both current and future healthcare administrators in Canada.

Participatory Communication
Author: Thomas Tufte
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821380109
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
What do we mean when we say participatory communication? What are the practical implications of working with participatory communication strategies in development and social change processes? What experiences exists in practice that documents that participatory communication adds value to a development project or programme? The aim of this user guide on participatory communication is to provide answers to some of these questions. Many communication practitioners and development workers face obstacles and challenges in their practical work. A participatory communication strategy offers a very specific perspective on how to articulate social processes, decision-making processes and any change process for that matter. Participatory approaches are nothing new. However, what is new is the proliferation of institutions, especially governmental but also non-governmental, that seek participatory approaches in their development initiative. This guide seeks to provide perspectives, tools and experiences regarding how to go about it with participatory communication strategies. It is conceived as a guide that hopefully can be of relevance and utility for development workers in the field. It is targeted at both at government and their officials, World Bank staff and at civil society.

Patient Engagement
Author: Guendalina Graffigna
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110452448
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Patient engagement should be envisaged as a key priority today to innovate healthcare services delivery and to make it more effective and sustainable. The experience of engagement is a key qualifier of the exchange between the demand (i.e. citizens/patients) and the supply process of healthcare services. To understand and detect the strategic levers that sustain a good quality of patients’ engagement may thus allow not only to improve clinical outcomes, but also to increase patients’ satisfaction and to reduce the organizational costs of the delivery of services. By assuming a relational marketing perspective, the book offers practical insights about the developmental process of patients’ engagement, by suggesting concrete tools for assessing the levels of patients’ engagement and strategies to sustain it. Crucial resources to implement these strategies are also the new technologies that should be (1) implemented according to precise guidelines and (2) designed according to a user-centered design process. Furthermore, the book describes possible fields of patients’ engagement application by describing the best practices and experiences matured in different fields

Vygotsky's Educational Theory in Cultural Context
Author: Alex Kozulin
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139440411
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 838
Book Description
This 2003 book comprehensively covers all major topics of Vygotskian educational theory and its classroom applications. Particular attention is paid to the Vygotskian idea of child development as a consequence rather than premise of learning experiences. Such a reversal allows for new interpretations of the relationships between cognitive development and education at different junctions of the human life span. It also opens new perspectives on atypical development, learning disabilities, and assessment of children's learning potential. Classroom applications of Vygotskian theory are discussed in the book. Teacher training and the changing role of a teacher in a sociocultural classroom is discussed in addition to the issues of teaching and learning activities and peer interactions. Relevant research findings from the US, Western Europe, and Russia are brought together to clarify the possible new applications of Vygotskian ideas in different disciplinary areas.
