Abstract

Cet ouvrage tente de défricher un espace encore à peu près vierge : celui d'une réflexion systématique sur l'ancrage empirique des énoncés dans les sciences sociales qualitatives. Dans la mesure où toute enquête de terrain (sous forme d'insertion prolongée du chercheur) produit des données discursives et observationnelles, on doit s'interroger sur la nature du lien entre le "réel de référence" et ces données, comme sur le lien entre ces données et les énoncés interprétatifs et autres "théories" figurant dans le texte écrit final.Comment définir une "politique du terrain" ? Que signifie comprendre ou exprimer "le point de vue des acteurs" ? Sur quelles procédures repose l'observation ? Quelles sont les conditions de la rigueur dans les approches qualitatives ? Quel est leur régime de véridicité ou de plausibilité ? Quelle place accorder à la subjectivité du chercheur ? Peut-on minimiser les pièges de la sur-interprétation ou les biais des idéologies scientifiques ?Ce livre s'adresse aux étudiants avancés, aux doctorants et aux chercheurs. Il propose, en termes accessibles et sans jargon, une réflexion de fond originale, solidement documentée et argumentée, appuyée sur quarante ans d'expérience de l'enquête de terrain.

Abstract

Essential Medical Statistics is a classic amongst medical statisticians. An introductory textbook, it presents statistics with a clarity and logic that will demystify the subject, while providing a comprehensive coverage of advanced as well as basic methods. Book overviewThe second edition of Essential Medical Statistics has been comprehensively revised and updated to include modern statistical methods and modern approaches to statistical analysis, while retaining the approachable and non-mathematical style of the first edition. The book now includes full coverage of the most commonly used regression models, multiple linear regression, logistic regression, Poisson regression and Cox regression, as well as a chapter on general issues in regression modelling. In addition, new chapters introduce more advanced topics such as meta-analysis, likelihood, bootstrapping and robust standard errors, and analysis of clustered data. Aimed at students of medical statistics, medical researchers, public health practitioners and practising clinicians using statistics in their daily work, the book is designed as both a teaching and a reference text. The format of the book is clear with highlighted formulae and worked examples, so that all concepts are presented in a simple, practical and easy-to-understand way. The second edition enhances the emphasis on choice of appropriate methods with new chapters on strategies for analysis and measures of association and impact.

Abstract

Technological innovation is deeply woven into the fabric of American culture, and is no less a basic feature of American health care. Medical technology saves lives and relieves suffering, and is enormously popular with the public, profitable for doctors, and a source of great wealth for industry. Yet its costs are rising at a dangerously unsustainable rate. The control of technology costs poses a terrible ethical and policy dilemma. How can we deny people what they may need to live and flourish? Yet is it not also harmful to let rising costs strangle our health care system, eventually harming everyone?In Taming the Beloved Beast, esteemed medical ethicist Daniel Callahan confronts this dilemma head-on. He argues that we can't escape it by organizational changes alone. Nothing less than a fundamental transformation of our thinking about health care is needed to achieve lasting and economically sustainable reform. The technology bubble, he contends, is beginning to burst.Callahan weighs the ethical arguments for and against limiting the use of medical technologies, and he argues that reining in health care costs requires us to change entrenched values about progress and technological innovation. Taming the Beloved Beast shows that the cost crisis is as great as that of the uninsured. Only a government-regulated universal health care system can offer the hope of managing technology and making it affordable for all.

Abstract

Een waardig levenseinde maakt de lezer mondig tegenover de medische wereld. Het boek is ook bedoeld voor zorgverleners die op een invoelende manier met hun patiënten willen omgaan. Het veegt een aantal hardnekkige mythes over het gebruik van morfine van tafel, bevat tips voor bestrijding van pijn en doodsangst, verklaart waarom dokters, ondanks de euthanasiewet, nog altijd aarzelen om bij euthanasie te helpen en legt uit hoe het levenseinde met spiritualiteit en psychologische ondersteuning kan verzacht worden. Het is vooral ook een pleidooi voor een verandering in onze houding tegenover ongeneeslijke patiënten en tegen therapeutische hardnekkigheid.De nieuwe editie bevat 24 extra pagina’s actualisering over onder meer recente ontwikkelingen in de (palliatieve) zorg en een voorstel voor de ethische regeling voor levensbeëindiging van pasgeborenen met ernstige, ongeneeslijke aandoeningen zoals bij baby Ella-Louise (het Gronings protocol). Voorts wordt het ‘Hugo Claus’-effect besproken, de levensreddende wilsverklaring van topsportster Marieke Vervoort, de euthanasie van Nobelprijswinnaar Christian De Duve en van atleet Emiel ‘Mielke’ Pauwels, het 25-jarig bestaan van het eerste volwaardig palliatief initiatief Omega, de verontrustende toename van de palliatieve sedatie, de uitreiking van de eerste LEIFtime Achievement Award en de LEIF-kaart, de opvallende (buitenlandse) media-aandacht voor de euthanasie van een doofstomme tweeling en een transgender en de werking van het consultatieteam ULteam voor mensen met levenseindevragen.

Abstract

[Français] La réglementation des données médicales est aujourd’hui un thème majeur du droit médical et du droit des nouvelles technologies. L’importance du sujet provient de l’exploitation croissante des technologies de l’information et de la communication dans le secteur des soins de santé et des risques nouveaux que cela entraîne pour les droits et libertés des citoyens. Les contributeurs au présent ouvrage ont été sélectionnés en vue de fournir une approche multidisciplinaire de haut niveau de la matière. Réunies, leurs contributions donnent une vision globale des défis à résoudre dans les années futures afin d’assurer la protection des citoyens au regard des traitements de données médicales.[English] The regulation of the processing of medical data is a major topic of discussion in Medical Law and in IT Law. Its significance results from the intensive use of information and communication technologies in healthcare and from the new threats their use creates to the rights and freedoms of citizens. The contributors were selected in order to yield a multidisciplinary approach. Together their contributions provide a global vision of the challenges to be addressed in the next few years as to ensure the protection of citizens regarding the processing of medical data.

Abstract

Purchasing is championed as a key to improving health systems performance. However, despite the central role the purchasing function plays in many health system reforms, there is very little evidence about its development or its real impact on societal objectives.This book addresses this gap and provides:* A comprehensive account of the theory and practice of purchasing for health services across Europe* An up-to-date analysis of the evidence on different approaches to purchasing* Support for policy makers and practitioners as they formulate purchasing strategies so that they can increase effectiveness and improve performance in their own national context* An assessment of the intersecting roles of citizens, the government and the providersWritten by leading health policy analysts, this book is essential reading for health policy makers, planners and managers as well as researchers and students in the field of health studies.
