商品描述

This book describes numerous projects which shed light on some of the most persistent issues of the day in health and social care. The work demonstrates the importance of embedding the concept of flow into everyday health and social care thinking and creates insights into patient journeys through different conditions and treatments. It suggests that improving throughput across agencies is the key way to improving the performance of health treatment, whereas increasing capacity is the key way to improving the performance of social care by retaining independent living. The authors conclude that for state-provided care, balancing health and social care provision can eliminate the many stressful fire-fighting strategies hospitals have to undertake when faced with high demands, and this is a win-win scenario in terms of patients, staff and costs. Further, that there is a need for better understanding of the dynamics of population ageing, the dynamics of health conditions and the provision of better, integrated information systems. The book will be a valuable resource for practitioners, clinicians, managers and academics in health, social work, public health and public policy in many countries.

In this important book Eric Wolstenholme and Douglas McKelvie bring two lifetimes of award-winning experience in applying system dynamics to improving our very clinically advanced but often dysfunctional care systems.-David F. Andersen, O'Leary Distinguished Service Professor, Emeritus, State University of New York, Albany, USA.
Health and social care suffer from some persistent and serious problems which not only undermine well intended care but also impose considerable costs in many societies. This very welcome and exceptional book offers the hope of sound and sustainable solutions to many of these issues. -Kim Warren, Strategy Dynamics, London, UK

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書描述了許多專案，揭示了當今健康與社會照護領域中一些最持久的問題。這項工作展示了將流程概念融入日常健康與社會照護思維的重要性，並提供了對患者在不同病況和治療過程中的旅程的見解。它建議，改善各機構之間的通過量是提升健康治療表現的關鍵，而增加容量則是提升社會照護表現的關鍵，因為這有助於維持獨立生活。作者總結道，對於國家提供的照護，平衡健康與社會照護的供應可以消除醫院在面對高需求時必須採取的許多壓力重重的應急策略，這對患者、員工和成本而言都是雙贏的情境。此外，還需要更好地理解人口老化的動態、健康狀況的動態以及提供更好、整合的信息系統。本書將成為許多國家健康、社會工作、公共衛生和公共政策領域的從業者、臨床醫生、管理者和學者的重要資源。

在這本重要的書中，Eric Wolstenholme 和 Douglas McKelvie 帶來了兩位終身獲獎的經驗，應用系統動力學來改善我們臨床上非常先進但常常功能失調的照護系統。- David F. Andersen，紐約州立大學奧爾巴尼分校榮譽服務教授。

健康和社會照護面臨一些持久且嚴重的問題，這些問題不僅削弱了良好意圖的照護，還在許多社會中造成了相當大的成本。這本非常受歡迎且卓越的書籍為許多這些問題提供了合理且可持續的解決方案的希望。- Kim Warren，倫敦，英國，Strategy Dynamics。
