Taking an in-depth look at this service, "ong>Fosterong> Family ong>Careong>" moves the reader from the experiences of children and their parents as they first enter ong>careong>, through the process of settling in and confronting the problems that led to the need for placement, to an assessment of the outcomes of ong>careong> and its consequences for the growing child.

A central theme is the concept of quality service delivery; the perspective draws heavily on attachment theory and on practice principles embedded in the concept of permanency planning.

Managed Health Care

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Robinson, Ray / Steiner, Andrea, PUBLISHER: Open University Press, Healthong>careong> in the United States has undergone a managed ong>careong> revolution. The approach has transformed the way in which health services are financed and delivered.

Many management consultants, pharmaceutical companies and policy analysts advocate managed ong>careong> as the way forward for improving the performance of healthong>careong> systems. In this headlong rush, far too little attention has been paid to the research ong>evidenceong> on managed ong>careong>. This book carries out a systematic review of the high quality research ong>evidenceong> on managed ong>careong> in the US. Through a detailed analysis of the research literature they assess the performance of managed ong>careong> in terms of its impact on utilization, costs, health promotion and screening, quality of ong>careong> and other key indicators. Following this analysis, they consider the development of managed ong>careong> approaches in the NHS with particular reference to the early research ong>evidenceong> primary ong>careong> based, total purchasing pilot projects.

Evidence-based Policy: A Practical Guide to Doing It Better

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cartwright, Nancy / Hardie, Jeremy, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press Inc, Over the last twenty or so years, it has become standard to require policy makers to base their recommendations on ong>evidenceong>. That is now uncontroversial to the point of triviality--of course, policy should be based on the facts. But are the methods that policy makers rely on to gather and analyze ong>evidenceong> the right ones? In ong>Evidenceong>-Based Policy, Nancy Cartwright, an eminent scholar, and Jeremy Hardie, who has had a long and successful ong>careong>er in both business and the economy, explain that the dominant methods which are in use now--broadly speaking, methods that imitate standard practices in medicine like randomized control trials--do not ong>workong>. They fail, Cartwright and Hardie contend, because they do not enhance our ability to predict if policies will be effective. The prevailing methods fall short not just because social science, which operates within the domain of real-world politics and deals with people, differs so much from the natural science milieu of the lab. Rather, there are principled reasons why the advice for crafting and implementing policy now on offer will lead to bad results. Current guides in use tend to rank scientific methods according to the degree of trustworthiness of the ong>evidenceong> they produce. That is valuable in certain respects, but such approaches offer little advice about ong>howong> to think about putting such ong>evidenceong> to use. ong>Evidenceong>-Based Policy focuses on song>howong>ing policymakers ong>howong> to effectively use ong>evidenceong>. It also explains what types of information are most necessary for making reliable policy, and offers lessons on ong>howong> to organize that information.
