Modernising health care: Reinventing professions, the state and the
public is a crucial contribution to debates about the rapid
modernisation of health care systems and the dynamics of changing
modes of governance and citizenship. Structured around the role of
the professions as mediators between state and citizens, and set
against a background of tighter resources and growing demands for
citizenship rights, Ellen Kuhlmann's book offers a much-needed
comparative analysis, using the German health care system as a case
study. The German system, with its strongly self-regulatory medical
profession, exemplifies both the capacity of professionalism to
re-make itself, and the role of the state in response, highlighting
the benefits and dangers of medical self-regulation, while
demonstrating the potential for change beyond marketisation and
managerialism. Kuhlmann critically reviews dominant models of
provider control and user participation, and empirically
investigates different sets of dynamics in health care, including
tensions between global reform models and nation-specific
conditions; interprofessional dynamics and changing gender
arrangements; the role of the service-user as a new stakeholder in
health care; and the rise of a new professionalism shaped by social
inclusion. Modernising health care provides new approaches and a
wealth of new empirical data for academics and students of health
policy, medical sociology and sociology of professions, and for
health policy makers and managers.
