Performance Comparison and Organizational Service Provision: U.S. Hospitals and the Quest for Performance Control: Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Health and Illness
Autor Christopher Dornen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 aug 2022
With a focus on U.S. health care, this study outlines how medical quality was defined and compared in the hospital sector from the late 19th century to the present. Developing a novel theoretical framework to investigate performance comparisons, several different forms of internal and external performance assessments are contrasted throughout this period. The transformative effects of these comparisons on hospitals’ relationships to patients, insurers, regulators, and staff are analyzed and their ramifications for current hospital care are explored. Drawing on this analysis, the book examines the controversial nature of these measures and the struggles among hospital managers, patients, physicians, and policy makers to determine hospital quality.
Affording a deeper understanding of how performance comparisons influence organizational service provision, the book will be of interest to researchers in a broad range of fields including organization studies, accountability and evaluation, health care, and policy research as well as practitioners in hospital care and management.

Recenzii
"Through the well-chosen lens of comparisons, Dorn takes us on a fascinating journey through time and the intriguing development of performance control in the realm of health care and US hospitals. Firmly anchored in rich accounts, both historical and contemporary, its take-aways on organization, professionalism and control make up a highly relevant and timely contribution to both academic and practitioner debates."

"In Performance Comparison, Christopher Dorn provides a sweeping history of performance measures and quality assessments in U.S. healthcare. Dorn carefully documents how different regimes of internal and external comparison have shaped clinical decision making, generated contention within the field, and produced unforeseen consequences. Performance Comparison is a valuable addition to scholarship on organizational metrics, quantification, valuation, and the sociology of professions."
