It is a tragic paradox of American health care: a system renowned
for world-class doctors, the latest medical technologies, and
miraculous treatments has shocking inadequacies when it comes to
the health of the urban poor. Urban Health Knowledge Management
outlines bold, workable strategies for addressing this disparity
and eliminating the "knowledge islands" that so often disrupt
effective service delivery. The book offers a wide-reaching global
framework for organizational competence leading to improved care
quality and outcomes for traditionally underserved clients in
diverse, challenging settings. Its contributors understand the
issues fluently, imparting both macro and micro concepts of KM with
clear rationales and real-world examples as they: * Analyze key
aspects of KM and explains their applicability to urban health. *
Introduce the KM tools and technologies most relevant to health
care delivery. * Offer evidence of the role of KM in improving
clinical efficacy and executive decision-making. * Provide extended
case examples of KM-based programs used in Washington, D.C. (child
health), South Africa (HIV/AIDS), and Australia (health
inequities). * Apply KM principles to urban health needs in
developing countries. * Discuss new approaches to managing,
evaluating, and improving delivery systems in the book's "Measures
and Metrics" section. Urban health professionals, as well as health
care executives and administrators, will find Urban Health
Knowledge Management a significant resource for bringing service
delivery up to speed at a time of great advancement and change.
