"This timely book provides insight into the changing role of the
'hospital' in the face of technological, organizational innovation
and ever-tightening health budgets."James Barlow, Imperial College
Business School, UK "This book covers various relevant aspects of
the hospital in different states and contexts. Underlining the
importance of business models for future hospitals, this
publication presents models of care from a historic and a current
perspective. All authors possess a deep insight into different
health care systems, not only as scholars but as experts working
for world-renowned health policy institutions such as the World
Health Organization, the World Bank or the European Observatory for
Health Systems."Siegfried Walch, Management Center Innsbruck,
Austria "For an organisation like mine, representing those involved
in the strategic planning of healthcare infrastructure, this book
provides invaluable insights into what really matters - now and for
the future - in the complex and contentious field of hospital
development."Jonathan Erskine, European Health Property Network,
Netherlands This book seeks to reframe current policy discussions
on hospitals. Healthcare services turn expensive economic
resources-people, capital, pharmaceuticals, energy, materials-into
care and cure. Hospitals concentrate the use and the cost of these
resources, particularly highly-trained people, expensive capital,
and embedded technologies. But other areas of health, such as
public health and primary care, seem to attract more attention and
affection, at least within the health policy community. How to make
sense of this paradox? Hospitals choose, or are assigned, to
deliver certain parts of care packages. They are organised to do
this via "business models". These necessarily incorporate models of
care - the processes of dealing with patients. The activity needs
to be governed, in the widest senses. Rational decisions need to be
taken about both the care and the resources to be used. This book
pulls these elements together, to stimulate a debate.
