Critical Hospital Social Work Practice

Critical Hospital Social Work Practice

Critical Hospital Social Work Practice sheds light on the fast-paced high pressure role of the hospital social worker. At a time of public concern over the state of the NHS and the needs of a growing older population the hospital social worker’s job is more important than ever. Yet it is poorly understood and often overlooked by policy makers managers and other professionals. Employing social theory to make sense of the contemporary context of health and social care this book highlights the vital role played by social workers in planning complex hospital discharges. It provides an in-depth account of the activities of a typical hospital social work team in the UK drawn from rigorous ethnographic fieldwork and contrasts this with research evidence on hospital social work practices around the world. The author points towards exciting new directions for health-related social work and social work’s potential to develop critical gerontological practice. This book will be useful to social work students and practitioners working in hospital settings and with older people in general. It will also be of significant value to policy makers and academics who are interested in developing innovative approaches to meeting the needs of the ageing population.

Hospital Capacity Management Insights and Strategies

Hospital Capacity Management Insights and Strategies

Hospital Capacity Management: Insights and Strategies details many of the key processes procedures and administrative realities that make up the healthcare system we all encounter when we visit the ED or the hospital. It walks through in detail how these systems work how they came to be this way why they are set up as they are and then in many cases why and how they should be improved right now. Many examples pulled from the lifelong experiences of the authors published studies and well-documented case studies are provided both to illustrate and support arguments for change. First and foremost it is necessary to remember that the mission of our healthcare system is to take care of patients. This has been forgotten at times causing many of the issues the authors discuss in the book including hospital capacity management. This facet of healthcare management is absolutely central to the success or failure of a hospital both in terms of its delivery of care and its ability to survive as an institution. Poor hospital capacity management is a root cause of long wait times overcrowding higher error rates poor communication low satisfaction and a host of other commonly experienced problems. It is important enough that when it is done well it can completely transform an entire hospital system. Hospital capacity management can be described as optimizing a hospital’s bed availability to provide enough capacity for efficient error-free patient evaluation treatment and transfer to meet daily demand. A hospital that excels at capacity management is easy to spot: no lines of people waiting and no patients in hallways or sitting around in chairs. These hospitals don’t divert incoming ambulances to other hospitals; they have excellent patient safety records and efficiently move patients through their organization. They exist but are sadly in the minority of American hospitals. The vast majority are instead forced to constantly react to their own poor performance. This often results in the building of bigger and bigger institutions which instead of managing capacity simply create more space in which to mismanage it. These institutions are failing to resolve the true stumbling blocks to excellent patient care many of which you may have experienced firsthand in your own visit to your hospital. It is the hope of the authors that this book will provide a better understanding of the healthcare delivery system. | Hospital Capacity Management Insights and Strategies

Music as Care: Artistry in the Hospital Environment CMS Emerging Fields in Music

Music as Care: Artistry in the Hospital Environment CMS Emerging Fields in Music

This book provides an overview of professional musicians working within the healthcare system and explores programs that bring music into the environment of the hospital. Far from being onstage musicians in the hospital provide musical engagement for patients and healthcare providers focused on life-and-death issues. Music in healthcare offers a new and growing area for musical careers distinct from the field of music therapy in which music is engaged to advance defined clinical goals. Rather this volume considers what happens when musicians interact with the clinical environment as artists and how musical careers and artistic practices can develop through work in a hospital setting. It outlines the specialized skills and training required to navigate safely and effectively within the healthcare context. The contributors draw on their experiences with collaborations between the performing arts and medicine at Boston University/Boston Medical Center University of Florida/UF Health Shands Hospital and the Peabody Institute/Johns Hopkins Medicine. These experiences as well as the experiences of artists spotlighted throughout the volume offer stories of thriving artistic practices and collaborations that outline a new field for tomorrow's musical artists. | Music as Care: Artistry in the Hospital Environment CMS Emerging Fields in Music

Contingent Citizens Professional Aspiration in a South African Hospital

Contingent Citizens Professional Aspiration in a South African Hospital

Contingent Citizens examines the ambiguous state of South Africa’s public sector workers and the implications for contemporary understandings of citizenship. It takes us inside an ethnography of the professional ethic of nurses in a rural hospital in KwaZulu-Natal shaped by a deep history of mission medicine and changing forms of new public management. Liberal democratic principles of ‘transparency’ ‘decentralization’ and ‘rights’ though promising freedom from control often generate fear and insecurity instead. But despite the pressures they face Elizabeth Hull shows that nurses draw on a range of practices from international migration to new religious movements to assert new forms of citizenship. Focusing an anthropological lens on ‘professionalism’ Hull explores the major fault lines of South Africa’s fragmented social landscape – class gender race and religion – to make an important contribution to the study of class formation and citizenship. This prize-winning monograph will be of interest to scholars of anthropology development studies sociology and global public health. | Contingent Citizens Professional Aspiration in a South African Hospital

Total Parenteral Nutrition in the Hospital and at Home

Total Parenteral Nutrition in the Hospital and at Home

It is therefore obvious that good patient management necessitates the use of an alternative route of nutritional support in patients unable to eat or absorb an oral diet. This alternative is parenteral nutrition which is the subject of this book. While there are many texts on the subject of parenteral nutrition very few if any are directed to the practical details of organizing the delivery of parenteral nutrition from a multidisciplinary point of view. In this publication we present the practice of parenteral nutrition as viewed by a team of a physician nurse and pharmacist. | Total Parenteral Nutrition in the Hospital and at Home

Liaison Psychiatry Mental Health Problems in the General Hospital

Liaison Psychiatry Mental Health Problems in the General Hospital

Liaison psychiatry that is psychiatry with patients with organic disorders or physical symptoms in general hospitals is a field that grew rapidly in the 1980s. Yet there had been no introductory book to the subject which might have served the needs of trainee psychiatrists medical students and general physicians and surgeons as well as nurses and others whose patients might be involved. This book originally published in 1987 aimed to fill this gap in the literature. It begins by examining the scope and organisational issues of liaison psychiatry at the time and its role in psychiatric patients with organic disease psychosomatic disorders emotional reactions to physical disease terminal illness etc. The bulk of the book then reviews liaison in a range of medical specialities. The book should thus have a wide readership. | Liaison Psychiatry Mental Health Problems in the General Hospital

Plans and Provisions for the Mentally Handicapped

Plans and Provisions for the Mentally Handicapped

The lack of good statistical information had been a major factor in the poor planning of services for the mentally handicapped in the late 1960s. The principal object of this book was to provide an accurate factual basis for the planning of future services. Originally published in 1972 this title is based on three years’ extensive research and consists primarily of statistical studies rather than case studies. There is a survey of facilities provided by hospitals for the mentally handicapped and a sample survey of three Hospital Regions indicating the characteristics and disabilities of the mentally handicapped inpatients. Also included are two cohort studies one of the subsequent experience of patients after their first admittance to a hospital and one of the subsequent experience of all first referrals to a Local Authority service. Both studies were carried out to determine trends in the patterns of care. This was the first time that cohort techniques had been applied in this field in this country. Since effective long-term planning depends upon the coordination of the work of Local Authorities and hospitals it is unrealistic to divorce the need for hospital beds from community provision. This book therefore examined the present services for the mentally handicapped in the round. It is supplemented by an extensive bibliography and numerous tables and diagrams. As a result it should be of particular interest to psychiatrists clinical psychologists hospital administrators senior nursing staff and Local Authority social service administrators. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1972. The language used is reflective of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication. | Plans and Provisions for the Mentally Handicapped

Planning and Designing Healthcare Facilities A Lean Innovative and Evidence-Based Approach

Planning and Designing Healthcare Facilities A Lean Innovative and Evidence-Based Approach

The planning and design of healthcare facilities has evolved over the previous decades from function follows design to design follows function. Facilities stressed the functions of healthcare providers but patient experience was not fully considered. The design process has now crucially evolved and currently the impression a hospital conveys to its patients and community is the primary concern. The facilities must be welcoming comfortable and exude a commitment to patient well-being. Rapid changes and burgeoning technologies are now major considerations in facility design. Without flexibility hospitals face quicker obsolescence if designs are not forward-thinking. Planning and Designing Healthcare Facilities: A Lean Innovative and Evidence-Based Approach explores recent developments in hospital design. Medical facilities have been adapted to the requirements of clinical functions. Recently the needs of patients and clinical pathways have been recognized. With the patient at the center of the process the flow of tasks becomes the guiding principle as hospital design must employ evidence-based thinking and process management methods such as Lean become central. The authors explain new concepts to reduce healthcare delivery cost but keep quality the primary consideration. Concepts such as sustainability (i. e. Green Hospitals) and the use of new tools and technologies such as information and communication technology (ICT) Lean and evidence-based planning and innovations are fully explained. | Planning and Designing Healthcare Facilities A Lean Innovative and Evidence-Based Approach

Handbook of Nuclear Biological and Chemical Agent Exposures

Handbook of Nuclear Biological and Chemical Agent Exposures

Treating nuclear biological and chemical agent exposures presents a unique set of challenges. These scenarios usually involve multiple exposures sometimes even mass exposures from a single often poorly-defined event. Early symptoms are not distinct and can often be variable. Laboratory analyses may be required from environmental often nonbiological specimens. Scene evaluation and pre-hospital decontamination may turn out to be the most important intervention. Hospital resource utilization must be a consideration. Even the pathologist performing autopsies needs adequate preparation. It is with these considerations in mind that the Handbook of Nuclear Biological and Chemical Agent Exposures was created. Taking a concise yet comprehensive clinical approach to the treatment of these exposures the authors provide concise information on radiation substances biological agents chemical toxins laboratory tests and antidotes. The book includes essays on topics such as Field Identification and Decontamination of Toxins Bioterrorism and the Skin and Mass Exposures Involving the Pediatric Population. A quick review of the contents will tell you that this book contains the tools you need when facing the formidable tasks of diagnosing and treating nuclear biological and chemical agent exposures.
