Are our patients getting what they want for their health care money? Should we change anything to give our patients more of what they want? Do we even know what they want? When service delivery, patient expectations, and the bottom line are in conflict, quality generally suffers. But such conflict can be minimized, say the editors of Optimizing Health. Answering elusive questions on how quality emerges in medical care, Franz Porzsolt and Robert Kaplan synthesize findings from closely interrelated aspects of clinical practice, clinical epidemiology, health economics, psychology, and ethics. The resulting systems perspective of this timely book merges thinking from clinical medicine and economics to form the hybrid term "CLINECS". The book challenges readers to rethink the standard criteria for assessing benefit to patients, and shows how evidence-based medicine can be incorporated into actual public health settings, clarifying key medical goals regarding patient autonomy. An international panel of experts offers practical, workable guidelines for: -Understanding the value of services from the patient’s point of view -Involving patients in medical decision-making -Avoiding overdiagnosis and overly aggressive treatment -Reconciling outcomes research and clinical research -Measuring patient quality of life—even for those who are cognitively impaired -Improving efficacy and effectiveness throughout the system Optimizing Health outlines an agenda of critical importance to health care professionals, researchers, and policymakers. This vision also makes it a bedrock graduate-level text for tomorrow’s clinicians and administrators. This is material that will be studied, discussed, debated, but most of all, benefited from.

This book defines the field of social capital and health. Over the last two decades, there has been a recognition of the importance of social capital (usually defined as ties in the community, attachment to the community, and participation in community activities) and its impact on the health of those in that community. The purpose of this book is to show the growth in the field of social capital and health and to expose readers to a variety of approaches in order to think about and model the question of how health can be improved by investments in community social capital as well as by indivi

In diesem Open-Access-Buch wird die Aussteuerung von Zielkonflikten bei der Gestaltung des Luftrettungssystems in Deutschland erarbeitet, indem ein Modell zur Bewertung von Luftrettungsleistungen entwickelt wird. Der hubschraubergestützten Luftrettung kommt seit Jahren eine zunehmende Bedeutung in der notfallmedizinischen Versorgung zu. Als auffälliges und leistungsfähiges, aber auch teures Rettungsmittel unterliegt die Luftrettung äußerst vielen Ansprüchen, die von unterschiedlichsten Interessensgruppen an das Luftrettungssystem gestellt werden. Diese Partikularinteressen implizieren Zielkonflikte bei der Gestaltung des Luftrettungssystems. Mit dem Kostenmodell werden verschiedene Szenarien modelliert, welche auf einem exemplarischen Erfahrungsobjekt basieren. Abgebildet werden unter anderem der Status Quo, Kritikpunkte am deutschen Luftrettungssystem sowie verschiedene Innovationen, die sich auch aus einem Vergleich ausgewählter internationaler Luftrettungssysteme ergeben. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit werden genutzt, um Handlungsempfehlungen zur Gestaltung von Luftrettungssystemen auszuarbeiten. Der Autor Dr. Johann W. A. Röper forschte am Lehrstuhl für Allgemeine Betriebswirtschaftslehre und Gesundheitsmanagement der Universität Greifswald sowie an der Klinik für Anästhesie-, Intensiv,- Notfall- und Schmerzmedizin der Universitätsmedizin Greifswald in den MV/LIFE/DRONE-Projekten. Anschließend wechselte er in eine Unternehmensberatung mit gesundheitswirtschaftlichem Schwerpunkt, bleibt Forschung und Lehre aber weiterhin eng verbunden.
