Abstract

With new methods of treatment standardisation resulting in various benefits for patient outcomes, evidence-based medicine and evidence-based practice have emerged as defining features of western healthcare provision in recent years. Most health professions are now adopting some form of 'evidence-based' framework for clinical training and practice. However, the rise of evidence based healthcare has drawn sustained criticism regarding the limits of trial based evidence, the reductive character of epidemiological study designs, and the potential for an erosion of the importance of lay perspectives and clinical judgement. "Evidence Based Healthcare in Context" introduces readers to the social, cultural and historical underpinnings of 'evidence' in healthcare, critically examining questions about what constitutes 'evidence' and 'effectiveness' from perspectives outside medicine, including those of patients, complementary medicine and midwifery. It focuses on the application of contemporary theoretical debates around the nature of medical and health knowledge, providing readers with a series of critical analyses of the production, application and translation of 'evidence' in a range of healthcare contexts. Featuring cutting edge work from leading social scientists in the UK, US, Canada, Norway, Australia and New Zealand, this volume draws on the latest empirical research to provide a thorough critical overview of this important field of health research.

Abstract

Personnes précaires, personnes âgées, patients atteints de pathologies multiples ou chroniques, migrants... En France aujourd'hui, un grand nombre de ces patients dits « complexes » ne bénéficient pas d'un accès aux soins. Pareil constat remet en cause la performance de notre système de santé et les acquis de l'assurance maladie pour tous. Depuis vingt ans, des professionnels et acteurs de santé innovent pour un accès aux soins et à la santé pour tous et partout. C'est le cas dans les permanences d'accès aux soins de santé (PASS), comme la policlinique Baudelaire de l'hôpital Saint-Antoine (AP-HP). Des professionnels de la prise en charge de ces patients complexes, qui ont participé à ces initiatives originales, témoignent ici de leurs savoir-faire?: parcours de santé global, coopération entre professionnels de santé et du social, recherches interdisciplinaires... Ils appellent de leurs vœux la création de centres de santé primaire polyvalents (CSPP), dont ils détaillent les éléments clés, à commencer par le caractère global de la prise en charge?: infirmière, médecin, assistante sociale, psychologue,?etc. Ces propositions d'organisation intégrée rejoignent celles portant sur la planification de la santé et l'instauration d'alloca-tions de ressources - autant d'innovations visant à réduire des inégalités de santé en constante augmentation. L'ouvrage s'ouvre sur un état des lieux de la précarité sanitaire en France. Il se clôt sur ces enjeux de santé qui sont aussi des enjeux de société, avec des contributions de Didier Tabuteau, Claude Evin, Xavier Emmanuelli, Élisabeth Tomé-Gertheinrichs... et une postface de Bernard Kouchner.

Abstract

Societies make decisions and take actions that profoundly impact the distribution of health. Why and how should collective choices be made, and policies implemented, to address health inequalities under conditions of resource scarcity? How should societies conceptualize and measure health disparities, and determine whether they've been adequately addressed? Who is responsible for various aspects of this important social problem? In Health and Social Justice, Jennifer PrahRuger elucidates principles to guide these decisions, the evidence that should inform them, and the policies necessary to bu
