Health statistics have been an essential tool for improving the health of populations for centuries, yet no single book covers the key elements in developing, using, and improving them. This volume fills that crucial gap by providing a comprehensive account of the essential concepts and complex underpinnings of health statistics. It gives a broad and detailed view of the sources and uses of health statistics and explores contemporary issues confronting the health statistics enterprise, including privacy, technology, and the emergence of health data standards. It also proposes fundamental changes needed to improve health statistics that can be embraced by practitioners at all levels of government and the private sector. The book is guided throughout by a comprehensive model of population health that expands the traditionally held view of what factors influence health.The chapters are grouped into five sections: defining health statistics-context, history, and organization; collecting and compiling health statistics; putting health statistics to use; identifying current and forthcoming issues and transforming health statistics through new conceptual frameworks. This logical organization helps make the book suitable for graduate courses in public health and public health surveillance, health services research, population health statistics, or population health information systems. It will be equally useful for the staff of the many organizations that comprise the health statistics enterprise, for health professionals seeking a broader context for their efforts, and for researchers aiming to advance the field of health statistics and their application to health policy or public health practice.

Patiëntenverenigingen bewegen hemel en aarde om de specifieke problemen van de patiënten die ze vertegenwoordigen aan te kaarten. In de loop der jaren hebben ze een kostbare expertise opgebouwd die erg nuttig kan zijn om de gezondheidszorg en het gezondheidsbeleid te evalueren en om nieuwe mogelijkheden aan te dragen. Om hun rol als gesprekspartner ten volle te kunnen spelen, zowel op micro-niveau, het niveau van de concrete zorg, als op meso- en macro-niveau, de niveaus van de zorgorganisatie en van het gezondheidsbeleid hebben ze nood aan goede praktijken, gerichte vorming, concrete financieringsmogelijkheden en een vorm van formele erkenning.Het dataonderzoek is uniek omdat het erin geslaagd is een coherent beeld te schetsen van patiëntenverenigingen, ondanks hun sterk uiteenlopende bronnen van inkomsten, statuten, leden en noden. Heel wat patiëntenverenigingen en hun koepels en ondersteuningscentra hebben er actief aan meegewerkt. Het dataonderzoek vormt aldus een stevige basis om de patiëntenparticipatie structureel te verankeren in het beleid.

Is there more to qualitative data collection than face-to-face interviews? Answering with a resounding 'yes', this book introduces the reader to a wide array of exciting and novel techniques for collecting qualitative data in the social and health sciences. Collecting Qualitative Data offers a practical and accessible guide to textual, media and virtual methods currently under-utilised within qualitative research. Contributors from a range of disciplines share their experiences of implementing a particular technique, provide step-by-step guidance to using that approach, and highlight both the potential and pitfalls. From gathering blog data to the story completion method to conducting focus groups online, the methods and data types featured in this book are ideally suited to student projects and other time- and resource-limited research. In presenting several innovative ways that data can be collected, new modes of scholarship and new research orientations are opened up to student researchers and established scholars alike.
