Description - Complexity in Healthcare and the Language of Consultation by Derek Steinberg
Healthcare managers and practitioners aim to work in focused and straightforward ways but the field involves many complicated and multifactorial issues ranging from clinical problems to the complications of feelings attitudes ethics and organisational systems involved. Complexity theory is increasingly applied to healthcare to help medics and managers cope with vast organisations and systems and hugely growing volumes of information. This book takes a unique approach integrating new ideas from chaos and complexity theory with clinical work and aspects of group and psychodynamic theory; evolving a radically new kind of consultative approach. Complexity in Healthcare and the Language of Consultation argues that to provide effective care specialists in modern healthcare need a dual-handed approach. This requires them to use two forms of consultation - the traditional clinical consultation and organisational and systems consultation between professionals to help share specialist knowledge more effectively.
This book provides theoretical background principles and practical guidance to navigate the chaos and complexity involved in healthcare and will be invaluable reading for healthcare professionals and academics as well as policy-makers and shapers.
