Die zukünftigen Herausforderungen für unser Gesundheitssystem sind groß: Der demografische Wandel der Gesellschaft führt einerseits zu steigenden Patientenzahlen und andererseits zu einer Verstärkung des ohnehin dramatischen Fachkräftemangels. Die Kosten der Gesundheitsversorgung steigen unvermindert aufgrund immer besserer (und teurerer) Behandlungsverfahren. Allerdings blicken wir bereits heute auf die Endlichkeit wachsender Finanzmittel, beschleunigt durch globale Krisen und Erschütterungen. Unübersehbar ist auch, dass die Attraktivität des Gesundheitssystems für die Mitarbeiter Schaden nimmt und die Abwanderung von qualifiziertem Personal in Medizin und Pflege die Situation weiter verschärft. Das Gesundheitssystem in Deutschland wird sich verändern, ja neu aufstellen müssen. Viele fordern eine radikale Kehrtwende und eine Rückkehr zu mehr Menschlichkeit. Das menschliche Krankenhaus stellt seine Patienten und Mitarbeiter in den Mittelpunkt. Human Hospital bedeutet: eine maximale Leistungsfähigkeit der Krankenversorgung, die spürbare Entlastung der Beschäftigten, eine enge, digitalgestützte Verknüpfung mit anderen Akteuren im Gesundheitssystem, mehr Wirtschaftlichkeit, mehr Wertschätzung und ausgeprägter Klima- und Ressourcenschutz. Dieses Buch benennt die Herausforderungen in der sich wandelnden Gesellschaft und stellt dabei den Menschen in den Mittelpunkt. Welche Fragen beschäftigen die Patienten der Zukunft? Wie wandelt sich die Arbeitswelt Krankenhaus? Wichtige Zukunftsthemen auf Patienten- sowie auf Mitarbeiterebene werden beleuchtet: z.B. New Work, Resilienz, Transparenz, Ressourcenschonung oder Individualisierte Medizin. Das Buch stößt Diskurse an und stellt Fragen an die Gestalter und Entscheider im Gesundheitssystem. Die Herausgeber und Autoren ergreifen ihre gesellschaftliche Verantwortung bei der Bewältigung der originären Aufgaben des Gesundheitssystems: Menschen zu helfen und Menschen zu dienen. Und dies nicht nur medizinisch, sondern eben auch als Good Corporate Citizen.

Originally published in 1964, this book describes the hospital service as it is seen by patients. It is based mainly on interviews with a random sample of patients and discusses the relationships between patients and between them and hospital doctors, nurses, and general practitioners. The best available medical care should not only be given, but the patient and his relatives should feel that this has been given. Explanations need to be seen not as a lavish appendage, but as an integral part of medical care. Recognition and acceptance of this responsibility could stimulate interest in patients' social lives, so that hospital staff become more aware of the difficulties patients may encounter when they leave hospital. This in turn could lead to greater integration between the hospital and welfare services and between the hospital and the general practitioners. Still relevant today this study can now be read in its historical context.

Experts estimate that as many as 98,000 people die in any given year from medical errors that occur in hospitals. That's more than die from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDSâ€"three causes that receive far more public attention. Indeed, more people die annually from medication errors than from workplace injuries. Add the financial cost to the human tragedy, and medical error easily rises to the top ranks of urgent, widespread public problems. To Err Is Human breaks the silence that has surrounded medical errors and their consequenceâ€"but not by pointing fingers at caring health care professionals who make honest mistakes. After all, to err is human. Instead, this book sets forth a national agendaâ€"with state and local implicationsâ€"for reducing medical errors and improving patient safety through the design of a safer health system. This volume reveals the often startling statistics of medical error and the disparity between the incidence of error and public perception of it, given many patients' expectations that the medical profession always performs perfectly. A careful examination is made of how the surrounding forces of legislation, regulation, and market activity influence the quality of care provided by health care organizations and then looks at their handling of medical mistakes. Using a detailed case study, the book reviews the current understanding of why these mistakes happen. A key theme is that legitimate liability concerns discourage reporting of errorsâ€"which begs the question, "How can we learn from our mistakes?" Balancing regulatory versus market-based initiatives and public versus private efforts, the Institute of Medicine presents wide-ranging recommendations for improving patient safety, in the areas of leadership, improved data collection and analysis, and development of effective systems at the level of direct patient care. To Err Is Human asserts that the problem is not bad people in health careâ€"it is that good people are working in bad systems that need to be made safer. Comprehensive and straightforward, this book offers a clear prescription for raising the level of patient safety in American health care. It also explains how patients themselves can influence the quality of care that they receive once they check into the hospital. This book will be vitally important to federal, state, and local health policy makers and regulators, health professional licensing officials, hospital administrators, medical educators and students, health caregivers, health journalists, patient advocatesâ€"as well as patients themselves.

The survival and evolution of the human race is linked with the health of individuals and the population at large. All over the world, the concepts of the right to health and medical ethics have recently emerged from the ever-growing consciousness about the dignity of human life. The right to health and health care are the new aspirations of the people. Health rights are exercised by people who use health services, and medical ethics are reflected in the professional performance of doctors while delivering health services. Since patients are becoming increasingly aware of their health rights, doctors have to be conversant with basic ethical issues involved in medical practice. This book offers the most incisive, compelling analysis of the rights and ethics of health care in different hospital settings. It analyzes the concepts of rights and ethics in both private and government hospital settings. Health, Human Rights and Ethics will be of interest to anthropologists, sociologists, historians, legal experts, public and private health practitioners, and policy makers.

It also shows how the use of scientific techniques can improve the services of the hospital and ultimately benefit the patients as well as the hospital itself. The Sixth Edition brings in new concepts and new ideas and takes into account the contemporary challenges of hospitals in the human resource management area. What is New to This Edition • One entire new section on Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012–2017). • Two New Chapters—Chapter 6 on Patient Safety and Chapter 7 on Hospital Information System. • New Supreme Court Judgements on Consumer Protection replacing the older judgements Intended primarily as a text for students pursuing Master of Hospital Administration (MHA), postgraduate diploma courses in Hospital Adminis-tration or Health Care Services, and undergraduate and postgraduate courses in nursing (B.Sc./M.Sc.

It is essential ... for the hospital administrators and students of hospital management. —Swaraj Halder, Hony. Editor, Journal of Indian Medical Association, Kolkata 2.

By chronicling the transformations of hospitals from houses of mercy to tools of confinement, from dwellings of rehabilitation to spaces for clinical teaching and research, from rooms for birthing and dying to institutions of science and technology, this book provides a historical approach to understanding of today's hospitals. The story is told in a dozen episodes which illustrate hospitals in particular times and places, covering important themes and developments in the history of medicine and therapeutics, from ancient Greece to the era of AIDS. This book furnishes a unique insight into the world of meanings and emotions associated with hospital life and patienthood by including narratives by both patients and care givers. By conceiving of hospitals as houses of order capable of taming the chaos associated with suffering, illness, and death, we can better understand the significance of their ritualized routines and rules. From their beginnings, hospitals were places of spiritual and physical recovery. They should continue to respond to all human needs. As traditional testimonials to human empathy and benevolence, hospitals must endure as spaces of healing.

This edited collection of articles addresses aspects of medical care in which human error is associated with unanticipated adverse outcomes. For the purposes of this book, human error encompasses mismanagement of medical care due to: * inadequacies or ambiguity in the design of a medical device or institutional setting for the delivery of medical care; * inappropriate responses to antagonistic environmental conditions such as crowding and excessive clutter in institutional settings, extremes in weather, or lack of power and water in a home or field setting; * cognitive errors of omission and commission precipitated by inadequate information and/or situational factors -- stress, fatigue, excessive cognitive workload. The first to address the subject of human error in medicine, this book considers the topic from a problem oriented, systems perspective; that is, human error is considered not as the source of the problem, but as a flag indicating that a problem exists. The focus is on the identification of the factors within the system in which an error occurs that contribute to the problem of human error. As those factors are identified, efforts to alleviate them can be instituted and reduce the likelihood of error in medical care. Human error occurs in all aspects of human activity and can have particularly grave consequences when it occurs in medicine. Nearly everyone at some point in life will be the recipient of medical care and has the possibility of experiencing the consequences of medical error. The consideration of human error in medicine is important because of the number of people that are affected, the problems incurred by such error, and the societal impact of such problems. The cost of those consequences to the individuals involved in medical error, both in the health care providers' concern and the patients' emotional and physical pain, the cost of care to alleviate the consequences of the error, and the cost to society in dollars and in lost personal contributions, mandates consideration of ways to reduce the likelihood of human error in medicine. The chapters were written by leaders in a variety of fields, including psychology, medicine, engineering, cognitive science, human factors, gerontology, and nursing. Their experience was gained through actual hands-on provision of medical care and/or research into factors contributing to error in such care. Because of the experience of the chapter authors, their systematic consideration of the issues in this book affords the reader an insightful, applied approach to human error in medicine -- an approach fortified by academic discipline.

Increased concern for patient safety has put the issue at the top of the agenda of practitioners, hospitals, and even governments. The risks to patients are many and diverse, and the complexity of the healthcare system that delivers them is huge. Yet the discourse is often oversimplified and underdeveloped. Written from a scientific, human factors
