The Emergence of Modern Hospital Management and Organisation in the
World 1880s-1930s uses a range of empirical evidences and case
studies drawn from previously unpublished archival sources to offer
one of the first international comparative studies on the
transformation and modernization of hospital management globally, a
century ago. Focusing in the key years between the 1880s and the
1930s, when millions of people crossed the globe and created new
large health care needs in the largest cities of the world, Paloma
Fernandez-Perez analyzes core themes from a business history
perspective, like organization, ownership and the
professionalization of management, to reach a new understanding
about the history of modern large scale healthcare institutions
from the United States to China, with particular attention to
Spain. The book analyses how varying institutional factors, as well
as specific national elements, have influenced the application of
Taylorist ideas about standardization, efficiency, and
productivity, to large scale hospitals. It also demonstrates the
complexities in the dissemination of Taylorist styles of management
in large hospitals in the world, by presenting the diversity of
situations and how they depended not just on national differences
but also on the balance of power of interest groups in private and
public hospitals.
