Looking at the current turmoil facing contemporary healthcare
systems worldwide, resulting from relentless imposition of
financially-based performance indicators, the author argues that a
return to a values-based approach to healthcare will create
positive transformation. Writing from the fresh perspective of
social anthropology, the author takes a highly pragmatic approach
to practice, emphasizing the importance of values such as
compassion, solidarity and social justice. He suggests that without
being able clearly to identify the values and goals that unite
their members, healthcare organizations are unlikely to be able to
meet the demands of the constant and varied pressures they face,
and explains how individuals at every level in healthcare can
contribute in practical ways to positive change within their
organizations. This much-needed and very accessible book will be
essential reading for anyone interested in a better approach to
healthcare reform, from clinicians and nurses, to managers and
policy makers, as well as the interested reader.
