Risk thinking is transforming the understanding, organization, and
management of heatlth care systems, and its significance is likely
to increase still further over the next two decades as
technological advances, for example the new genetics and the
discovery of new biomedical markers, open up novel possibilities
for health risk management.
Heightened societal risk consciousness, such as food panics and the
debate over the MMR vaccine, co-exists, apparently paradoxically,
with increased life expectancy in advanced industrial societies and
increasing concern about the longer term future. At the same time,
social trends are pushing health care systems towards the
surveillance of populations and the targeting of groups identified
as being at higher risk. All too often, services users, health
professionals, policy makers, and researchers draw upon a risk
management without reflecting critically on its assumptions or
limitations.
This introductory text focuses on the underlying generic issues of
risk management in health care. Aimed at health professionals,
managers, educators and policy makers who are concerned with risk
management, it allows the readers to analyze risk management
issues, and to critically evaluate the claims made about exisiting
and new technologies, in an informed way. It covers all aspects of
risk relevant to a clinical setting and is closely related to
decision making in the clinic.
