Canadian Health Services Research Foundation – CHSRF – 2012
Available online PDF [89p.] at: http://bit.ly/KJVjE6
This report presents the results of four different approaches to evaluate the economic impact of enhancements to PHC:

1. A synthesis of the literature on the macro- and micro-economic effects of good health, with specific relevance to PHC performance.
2. A systematic review of the economic impact of incorporating a pharmacist into a Primary Healthcare Performance PHC practice.
3. A simulation exercise that evaluates the economic impact of improvements to influenza immunization rates for older adults brought about by provider reminder systems in PHC.
4. A literature review of reductions in burden of illness associated with four specific enhancements to chronic disease management in PHC that produce health benefits. These include PHC improvements that result in improved blood pressure control, enhanced diabetes management, increased uptake of cancer screening and improved continuity of care….”

The Learning Healthcare System: Workshop Summary
IOM Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine
NA Press | 2011 | ISBN: 0309103002 9780309103008 0309106877 | 374 pages

This book considers how health care is structured to develop and to apply evidence and highlights opportunities for the creation of a sustainable learning health care system that gets the right care to people when they need it and then captures the results for improvement. This book will be of primary interest to hospital and insurance industry administrators, health care providers, those who train and educate health workers, researchers, and policymakers.

As our nation enters a new era of medical science that offers the real prospect of personalized health care, we will be confronted by an increasingly complex array of health care options and decisions.

"The Learning Healthcare System" is the first that will focus on issues important to improving the development and application of evidence in health care decision making. The Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine serves as a neutral venue for cooperative work among key stakeholders on several dimensions: to help transform the availability and use of the best evidence for the collaborative health care choices of each patient and provider; to drive the process of discovery as a natural outgrowth of patient care; and, ultimately, to ensure innovation, quality, safety, and value in health care.

"Medical Malpractice: A Physician's Sourcebook"
Humana Press | English | 2004-09-24 | ISBN: 1588293890 | 322 pages

A comprehensive presentation of the origin, nature, and ramifications of the medical malpractice litigation crisis, as well as possible solutions and alternatives to the current troubled system. The authors focus on the clinical face of litigation from the perspective of the practicing physician in a variety of specialties, ranging from family and emergency medicine to anesthesiology, obstetrics, gynecology, and plastic surgery. Special consideration is given to breast cancer and Pap smear litigation, risk management for the family physician, the emerging significance of e-medicine, and the importance of effective patient communication. Additional legal chapters examine the litigation process itself, offering insight into winning medical malpractice lawsuits, the role of the physician as expert witness or defendant, the process of discovery and deposition, and how a plaintiff's attorney views risk reduction. For public policy debate, the authors spell out the case for legal reform, suggest changes in medical-legal jurisprudence that can be of immediate benefit, and reflect on the broader problems of our entire health care system and its interface with law and public policy.

"Medical Care Economic Risk: Measuring Financial Vulnerability from Spending on Medical Care"

Michael J. O'Grady and Gooloo S. Wunderlich
Committee on National Statistics; Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education; Board on Health Care Services; National Research Council and Institute of Medicine
NAS Press | 2012 | ISBN: 0309266041 9780309266048 | 246 pages

The implementation of the patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides a strong impetus to think rigorously about ways to measure medical care economic burden and risk, which is the basis for Medical Care Economic Risk. As new policies are implemented that seek to expand and improve health insurance coverage and to protect against the high costs of medical care relative to income, such measures will be important to assess the effects of policy changes in both the short and long term on the extent of financial burden and risk for the population, which are explained in this report.

Health System Assessment Approach: A How-To Manual
To help countries understand and strengthen their health systems, the Partners for Health Reformplus (PHRplus) (2001-2006) and Health Systems 20/20 (2006-2012) projects, with funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), in collaboration with other projects and development partners, pilot tested and began developing the original Health System Assessment Approach in 2004. Since that time the approach has continued to be tested and the accompanying HSAA How To Manual adjusted as a “living document”.
The HSAA manual has been used to assess health systems and guide policymakers and program planners in many countries and regions. Health system assessment (HSA) results have contributed to national strategic plans, PEPFAR partnership frameworks, and numerous other Health System Strengthening (HSS) and programmatic activities. Based on lessons learned from experience and consultations with experts, Health Systems 20/20 has updated the Health System Assessment Approach: A How-To Manual and published Version 2.0 in 2012.
The approach covers key health system functions and is organized around WHO’s six health system building blocks: leadership and governance; health financing; service delivery; human resources for health; medical products, vaccines, and technologies; and health information systems. For more information, read the HSA brief.

Healthcare Decision-Making and the Law: Autonomy, Capacity and the Limits of Liberalism
Published: 2010-11-30 | ISBN: 052111831X | 344 pages

This analysis of the law's approach to healthcare decision-making critiques its liberal foundations in respect of three categories of people: adults with capacity, adults without capacity and adults who are subject to mental health legislation. Focussing primarily on the law in England and Wales, the analysis also draws on the law in the United States, legal positions in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and Scotland and on the human rights protections provided by the ECHR and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Having identified the limitations of a legal view of autonomy as primarily a principle of non-interference, Mary Donnelly questions the effectiveness of capacity as a gatekeeper for the right of autonomy and advocates both an increased role for human rights in developing the conceptual basis for the law and the grounding of future legal developments in a close empirical interrogation of the law in practice.

"Critical Issues for the Development of Sustainable E-health Solutions"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 1461415357 | 418 pages

Pervasive healthcare is an emerging research discipline, focusing on the development and application of pervasive and ubiquitous computing technology for healthcare and wellness. Pervasive healthcare seeks to respond to a variety of pressures on healthcare systems, including the increased incidence of life-style related and chronic diseases, emerging consumerism in healthcare, need for empowering patients and relatives for self-care and management of their health, and need to provide seamless access for healthcare services, independent of time and place. Pervasive healthcare may be defined from two perspectives. First, it is the development and application of pervasive computing (or ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence) technologies for healthcare, health and wellness management. Second, it seeks to make healthcare available to anyone, anytime, and anywhere by removing locational, time and other restraints while increasing both the coverage and quality of healthcare. This book proposes to define the emerging area of pervasive health and introduce key management principles, most especially knowledge management, its tools, techniques and technologies. In addition, the book takes a socio-technical, patient-centric approach which serves to emphasize the importance of a key triumvirate in healthcare management namely, the focus on people, process and technology. Last but not least the book discusses in detail a specific example of pervasive health, namely the potential use of a wireless technology solution in the monitoring of diabetic patients.

Global Approach in Safety Testing: ICH Guidelines Explained By Jan Willem van der Laan, Joseph J DeGeorge
2013 | 327 Pages | ISBN: 1461459494

This volume will consider one of ICH’s major categories, Safety i.e. topics relating to in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical studies (Carcinogenicity Testing, Genotoxicity Testing, etc.). Since the start of the ICH process, many guidelines have been written, but even after ICH6 no explanations have been given during a formal Congress about the background of the ICH Guidance documents. Even more important than what has been written, might have been those thoughts of the experts that are not included in the Guidance documents. Why has the guideline been written as it is written, and why have some aspects been deleted. These and other related questions are the contents of this book, written by experts who were involved in the ICH process. Furthermore, the chapters will contain discussions on the “lessons learnt” and “future developments”.
