Quality and Regulation in Health Care International Experiences

Quality and Regulation in Health Care International Experiences

First published in 1992 Quality and Regulation in Health Care employs socio-legal ideas concerning regulation to examine the methods used to influence the quality of health care in the US UK and Western Europe. Throughout the Western world health care systems both public and private are grappling with the problems of assuring quality while containing costs. On the one hand governments and insurers argue that there must be some limit to the apparently endless growth of health care expenditures. On the other patient groups and consumer advocates already dissatisfied by the problems in holding doctors accountable for their actions protest that such limits must not result in sick people getting inferior treatment. This book examines in detail the debate surrounding the question: How can the professional expertise of the clinicians be reconciled with the preferences of their patients and the economic concerns of taxpayers or insurers? It will be essential reading for graduate and undergraduate courses in health policy medical sociology and health law. | Quality and Regulation in Health Care International Experiences

Primary Care Nutrition Writing the Nutrition Prescription

Primary Care Nutrition Writing the Nutrition Prescription

This book contains the necessary knowledge and tools to incorporate nutrition into primary care practice. As a practical matter this effort is led by a dedicated primary care physician with the help of motivated registered dietitians nurses psychologists physical therapists and office staff whether within a known practice or by referral to the community. It is essential that the nutrition prescription provided by the physician be as efficient as possible. While many team members have superior knowledge in the areas of nutrition exercise and psychology the health practitioner remains the focus of patient confidence in a therapy plan. Therefore the endorsement of the plan rather than the implementation of the plan is the most important task of the physician. This book proposes a significant change in attitude of primary health care providers in terms of the power of nutrition in prevention and treatment of common disease. It features detailed and referenced information on the role of nutrition in the most common conditions encountered in primary care practice. In the past treatment focused primarily on drugs and surgery for the treatment of disease with nutrition as an afterthought. Advanced technologies and drugs are effective for the treatment of acute disease but many of the most common diseases such as heart disease diabetes and cancer are not preventable with drugs and surgery. While there is mention of prevention of heart disease this largely relates to the use of statins with some modest discussion of a healthy diet. Similarly prevention of type 2 diabetes is the early introduction of metformin or intensive insulin therapy. | Primary Care Nutrition Writing the Nutrition Prescription

Leading Medicaid Managed Care Plans A State Relationship Perspective

Leading Medicaid Managed Care Plans A State Relationship Perspective

Leading Medicaid Managed Care Plans examines leadership actions necessary to successfully operate a Medicaid managed care plan with emphasis on the relationship with the state Medicaid agency the health plan is contracted with. With appropriate operational and governance oversight and with solid mutually respectful relationships with the state agency Medicaid health plans are more likely to sustain success and prosperity for the long term. The approach of Leading Medicaid Managed Care Plans builds on key infrastructure elements that need to be in place when contracting with a state agency and for overall success of the organization. It takes a pragmatic and methodical approach interspersed with real-life examples of what to do for success and what actions to avoid that frequently lead to failure. This approach is different from most managed care books (Medicaid or otherwise) as those mostly focus on the process of the business (such as details around claims payment or provider contracting) and ignore the role of the state Medicaid agency and its importance in retaining the contractual relationship. This book differs also on its emphasis on organizational foundational elements and strategic leadership skills necessary to sustain success. The author has years of experience in turning around failing Medicaid managed care plans and observing what they all had in common that contributed to those failures. One common feature was the deterioration of the relationship with the state Medicaid agency they were contracted with and how close they all came to losing their multi-million dollar businesses. The purpose of this book is to educate and inspire managed care executives and senior leaders who operate Medicaid health plans and to help them understand what elements are needed for successful health plans and a sustainable relationship with the people directing the state Medicaid agency. | Leading Medicaid Managed Care Plans A State Relationship Perspective
