Patient Advocacy for Healthcare Quality pdf
Description

Without constant external and internal pressure, a complex entity such as the U.S. health care system will continue following established patterns and customs. This book identifies patient advocacy from individual, to organizational, to grassroots policy advocacy as a powerful source of that pressure and as a potentially effective way to initiate needed changes in U.S. health care. As a contribution to the emerging healthcare quality movement, Patient Advocacy for Healthcare Quality: Strategies for Achieving Patient-Centered Care is distinct from any others of its kind in its focus on the consumer s perspective and in its emphasis on how advocacy can influence change at multiple social levels. This introductory volume synthesizes patient advocacy from a multi-level approach and is an ideal text for graduate and professional students in schools of public health, nursing and social work.
