Abstract

Comment mettre en œuvre la démarche "qualité" dans un établissement de santé? Voici la question, au cœur du débat sur la santé publique, à laquelle cet ouvrage apporte des réponses. A la lumière de l'actualité que représente la réforme sur l'accréditation des hôpitaux, la qualité des soins médicaux est ici présentée dans son contexte, ainsi que dans son utilité et la méthodologie qui doit la sous-tendre, appuyés sur de nombreux exemples concrets. Cette question d'actualité ne fait que rebondir à la lumière du récent rapport sur le classement des hôpitaux.

Abstract

" Les systèmes de santé sont composés, on pourrait parfois l'oublier, de lieux concrets où les personnes vivent, souffrent et meurent, [...] Les effets du vieillissement démographique [...] font craindre l'éclatement prochain de ces systèmes déjà fragilisés. [...] Une véritable confrontation avec le fond et les enjeux des situations, des pratiques, de l'expérience en matière de santé et de maladie, s'avère plus que jamais nécessaire pour éviter, dans ce domaine, toute forme d'irresponsabilité et, qui sait, d'inhumanité.

Abstract

What can be done about the poor state of global health? How are global health challenges intimately linked to the global political economy and to issues of social justice? What are our responsibilities and how can we improve global health? Global Health and Global Health Ethics addresses these questions from the perspective of a range of disciplines, including medicine, philosophy and the social sciences. Topics covered range from infectious diseases, climate change and the environment to trade, foreign aid, food security and biotechnology. Each chapter identifies the ways in which we exacerbate poor global health and discusses what we should do to remedy the factors identified. Together, they contribute to a deeper understanding of the challenges we face, and propose new national and global policies. Offering a wealth of empirical data and both practical and theoretical guidance, this is a key resource for bioethicists, public health practitioners and philosophers.

Abstract

Les ressources allouées à la médecine et aux soins sont limitées. Or, face aux limites, la soif de nos contemporains en matière de santé semble croître de façon exponentielle.Comment concilier cette soif avec nos obligations envers les pauvres, les vieillards, les personnes handicapées ? Comment orienter les choix politiques et économiques de gestion de la santé, en conciliant justice et charité ? Comment être de bons Samaritains au XXIe siècle ?Les contributions qui figurent dans ce livre sont, pour l'essentiel, de spécialistes éminents de questions de santé, ainsi que de philosophes et théologiens moralistes.

Abstract

Are advanced industrialized countries converging on a market response to reform their systems of social protection? By comparing the health care reform experiences of Britain, Germany, and the United States in the 1990s, Susan Giaimo explores how countries pursue diverse policy responses and how such variations reflect distinctive institutions, actors, and reform politics in each country. In Britain, the Thatcher government's plan to inject a market into the state-administered national health service resulted in a circumscribed experiment orchestrated from above. In Germany, the Kohl government sought to repair defects in the corporatist arrangement with doctors and insurers, thus limiting the market experiment and designing it to enhance the solidarity of the national health insurance system. In the United States, private market actors foiled Clinton's bid to expand the federal government's role in the private health care system through managed competition and national insurance. But market reform continued, albeit led by private employers and with government officials playing a reactive role. Actors and institutions surrounding the existing health care settlement in each country created particular reform politics that either militated against or fostered the deployment of competition. The finding that major transformations are occurring in private as well as public systems of social protection suggests that studies of social policy change expand their focus beyond statutory welfare state programs. The book will interest political scientists and policymakers concerned with welfare state reform in advanced industrial societies, social scientists interested in the changing balance among state, market, and societal interests in governance, and health policy researchers, health policymakers, and health care professionals.
