Abstract

Every day we are bombarded by television ads, public service announcements, and media reports warning of dire risks to our health and offering solutions to help us lower those risks. But many of these messages are incomplete, misleading, or exaggerated, leaving the average person misinformed and confused. Know Your Chances is a lively, accessible, and carefully researched book that can help consumers sort through this daily barrage by teaching them how to interpret the numbers behind the messages. In clear and simple steps, the authors-all of them staff physicians at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in White River Junction, Vermont-take the mystery out of medical statistics. By learning to understand the medical statistics and knowing what questions to ask, readers will be able to see through the hype and find out what-if any-credible information remains. The book's easy-to-understand charts will help ordinary people put their health concerns into perspective.This short, reader-friendly volume will foster communication between patients and doctors and provide the basic critical-thinking skills necessary for navigating today's confusing health landscape.

Abstract

Die Qualität der Versorgung, ihre Sicherung, Verbesserung und Incentivierung sind das erklärte Ziel der Krankenhausgesetzgebung der letzten Jahre. Für die Diskussion über Bewertung, Vergütung und Kommunikation von Qualität im medizinischen Versorgungsgeschehen liefert der Qualitätsmonitor 2019 weitere Impulse. Das Werk greift jährlich relevante Themen aus stationärer und sektorenübergreifender Versorgung auf. Die Fachbeiträge gehen dabei der Frage nach, wie sich das Versorgungssystem unter Qualitätsaspekten gestalten lässt und wie Versorgungsqualität transparenter gemacht werden kann. Weiterhin werden Strukturanforderungen einer qualitätsorientierten medizinischen Versorgung diskutiert und die wissenschaftliche Evidenz zur Gestaltung relevanter Versorgungsbereiche zusammengefasst. Eine weitere Sektion zeigt Eckdaten zur Versorgungsstruktur und Qualitätsdaten der deutschen Krankenhäuser. Der Qualitätsmonitor 2019 unterstützt fundiert die Qualitätssicherungsdebatte in Deutschland.

Abstract

Cancer care delivery refers to the multiple layers of the health care system that interact to affect outcomes for patients with cancer and the quality of that care. The factors included in the care delivery system that potentially alter outcomes include social dynamics, financing systems, organizational structures and processes, health technologies, provider and individual behaviors. Because women’s health care has its own unique challenges, the intersection between cancer care delivery and women’s health is to be examined in this Frontiers in Oncology issue. The unique opportunities and challenges of improving the health care system for women with breast and gynecologic cancers are to be explored in depth. We will visit many topics of cancer care delivery with the unique perspective geared towards the care of women’s malignancies.

Abstract

Trata do papel dos movimentos sociais em saúde no processo de reformulação da política de saúde, plasmado na Constituição de 1988 e denominado de Reforma Sanitária brasileira. Os percalços da sua implementação são analisados no contexto do processo de democratização do País ocorrido nos últimos 10 anos. A autora contribui para a interpretação da problemática da saúde no Brasil contemporâneo, sem a qual não se pode falar em democracia e cidadania. Através da leitura deste trabalho, os cientistas políticos e os profissionais de saúde poderão refletir acerca do lugar que ocupam no sistema e nos serviços de saúde, bem como das articulações de suas representações com a política de saúde.

Abstract

This report reviews the quality of health care in Sweden. It begins by providing an overview of the range of policies and practices aimed at supporting quality of care in Sweden (Chapter 1). It then focuses on three key areas particularly relevant to elderly populations: strengthening primary care in Sweden (Chapter 2), better assurance for quality in long-term care (Chapter 3), and improving care after hip fracture and stroke (Chapter 4). In examining these areas, this report highlights best practices and provides recommendations to improve the quality of care in Sweden.
