CHANGING CLINICAL CARE

experiences and lessons of systematization

Edited by Andrew Gray, Pieter Degeling and Hal Colebatch, respectively Academic Services for Public Management and Visiting Professor, North East Public Health Observatory; Health Services Consultant and former Professor of Health Management and Director of the Centre for Clinical Management Development, University of Durham; Visiting Professor in the Department of Public Policy, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen

Changing Clinical Care adopts a fresh, nursing and patient-centred approach to systemisation to aid patients and their carers.

The evidence-based methodology outlines real-world experiences in various sectors of healthcare including primary care, cardiac services, general surgery, and care of long term conditions. It sheds light on possible difficulties and examines the key lessons learnt in providing effective systemisation including common problems, pit-falls and effective solutions.

It includes high profile prologues by Dame Carol Black, (Past President, Royal College of Physicians of England) Dr David Colin-Thomé (National Clinical Director for Primary Care, Department of Health, England) and Professor Alison Kitson (Executive Director, Royal College of Nursing).

This book is ideal for all healthcare professionals interested in systemising the delivery of care. It is also of great interest to healthcare policy makers and shapers, and academics and researchers.

'Systematisation is not a new idea in health care delivery, but in the approach explored thoroughly in [this] book it signifies a fresh and attractive way of tackling many demanding problems that face clinicians and health managers. A systematic approach should pervade all medicine both elective and acute, and I commend this book to clinicians and managers alike.'
Carol Black CBE
