Ambulance Services de Paresh Wankhade

Ambulance Services

Editat de Paresh Wankhade, Kevin Mackway-Jones
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 oct 2016

Cum pot serviciile de urgență să rămână eficiente în fața unei cereri tot mai mari și a unor bugete în scădere drastică? Aceasta este provocarea clinică și managerială centrală pe care Ambulance Services o explorează în profunzime. Considerăm că această primă ediție, coordonată de Paresh Wankhade și Kevin Mackway-Jones, reprezintă un instrument esențial pentru înțelegerea tranziției de la modelul tradițional de transport al pacienților către un sistem complex de evaluare clinică și tratament la locul solicitării.

Textul este structurat riguros, pornind de la o perspectivă istorică necesară pentru a înțelege evoluția paramedicilor, și avansează către teme critice precum managementul riscului clinic și interoperabilitatea între agenții. Merită menționat că volumul nu ignoră aspectele subiective, dedicând capitole întregi culturii organizaționale și eticii în contextul austerității. Pe linia clinică a lucrării Emergency Services Management, dar cu accent pe managementul strategic al serviciilor de ambulanță, volumul oferă soluții pentru evitarea supraîncărcării departamentelor de urgență prin utilizarea noilor competențe de evaluare ale paramedicilor.

Abordarea urmează direcția stabilită de Paresh Wankhade în Critical Perspectives on the Management and Organization of Emergency Services, însă aici focusul este strict pe specificul serviciilor de ambulanță și pe nevoia de leadership adaptiv. Progresia capitolelor, de la logistică la multiculturalism și scenarii de viitor, indică o acoperire holistică, transformând datele teoretice în ghiduri practice pentru profesioniștii din sistemul de sănătate publică.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte managerilor din sănătate și paramedicilor care doresc să înțeleagă noua paradigmă a îngrijirii prespitalicesti. Cititorul câștigă o viziune clară asupra modului în care leadership-ul eficient și gestionarea riscului pot compensa limitările financiare. Este un motiv concret pentru a regândi serviciul de ambulanță nu doar ca transport, ci ca o componentă strategică de diagnostic și tratament rapid.

Despre autor

Kevin Mackway-Jones completează această viziune teoretică din postura de director medical al North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust, aducând experiența directă a sistemului britanic de sănătate. Împreună, cei doi editori reușesc să pună în dialog rigoarea academică cu realitățile clinice din teren.

Descriere scurtă

This volume provides fresh insights and management understanding of the changing role of the ambulance services against the backdrop of massive cuts in health budgets around the world and the changing context of pre-hospital care within the wider healthcare networks. The challenges of funding, training and cultural transformation are now felt globally. The need to learn and adapt from suitable models of ambulance service delivery have never been greater. The book offers critical insights into the theory and practice of strategic and operational management of ambulance services and the leadership needs for the service. One of the highlight of this volume is to bring together scholarship using experts- academics, practitioners and professionals in the field, to each of the chosen topics. The chapters are based in the practical experiences of the authors and are written in a way that is accessible and suitable for a range of audiences. We are confident that this book will cater to a wider audience to inform policy and practice, both in the UK and internationally.

Endorsements
“This unique and valuable publication, charts the history and development of the ambulance service in England over the last hundred years or so. The role of this key emergency service has always been important, and arguably never more so than today. The contributing authors have not only provided the reader with great insights into where the service has come from and the leadership challenges it has, and continues to face; it also gives examples of how the future could look as our journey of transformation continues.”
Peter Bradley CBE, MBA (and author of Taking Healthcare to the Patient 2005), Chief Executive Officer. St John National Headquarters, New Zealand


"With a year on year increase in demand for emergency ambulances and over 9 million calls annually, the UK Ambulance Service must change from its emergency care and transport focus model. With the increase in professionalism of paramedics and an uplift in assessment and clinical skills the modern paramedic is increasingly able to treat at home, direct patients with alternative care pathways and avoid transportation to overburdened Emergency Departments. Whilst there is some historical and cultural resistance to change there is a need for further development in clinical skills and a new perspective for the future Ambulance Service. This book brings together practitioners, managers, academics and provides a broad understanding of the major management issues in the UK Ambulance Service. It includes the history of the Ambulance Service, quality and risk management issues, commissioning, leadership, intra-operability and shape of the future ambulance service. The content will be of interest to students, practitioners and academics".
Sir Keith Porter, Professor of Clinical Traumatology, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, United Kingdom
