“…The article offers an original analysis of primary data from a project which explored the ways in which health care was accessed to develop the concept of healthcare bricolage (Phillimore et al . ). The project focused on two superdiverse neighbourhoods in each of four European cities Bremen (Germany), Birmingham (UK), Lisbon (Portugal) and Uppsala (Sweden), with the countries selected for their different health, welfare and migration regimes (Sainsbury ) (see Table ).…”

How people in community settings describe their experience of disappointing health care, and their responses to such dissatisfaction, sheds light on the role of marginalisation and underlines the need for radically responsive service provision. Making the case for studying unprompted accounts of dissatisfaction with healthcare provision, this is an original analysis of 71 semi-structured interviews with healthcare users in superdiverse neighbourhoods in four European cities. Healthcare users spontaneously express disappointment with services that dismiss their concerns and fail to attend to their priorities. Analysing characteristics of these healthcare users show that no single aspect of marginalisation shapes the expression of disappointment. In response to disappointing health care, users sought out alternative services and to persuade reluctant service providers, and they withdrew from services, in order to access more suitable health care and to achieve personal vindication. Promoting normative quality standards for diverse and diversifying populations that access care from a range of public and private service providers is in tension with prioritising services that are responsive to individual priorities. Without an effort towards radically responsive service provision, the ideal of universal access on the basis of need gives way to normative service provision.

“…Their important work is complemented by another very significant emergent strand of migrant health research that examines refugees' and immigrants' therapeutic coping strategies in the face of the abovementioned structural challenges (see, e.g. Krause (2008) on 'therapy networks' and Phillimore et al (2018) on 'healthcare bricolage'). This body of work calls attention to how individuals, families and communities within both resource-rich and -poor environments 'creatively mobilise, utilise and re-use resources in the face of constraints on access to healthcare services' (Phillimore et al 2018, 1) by drawing on diverse knowledges, ideas, materials and networks simultaneously to address health concerns (see also Thomas and Gideon 2013;Villa-Torres et al 2017).…”

Transnational medical travel: patient mobility, shifting health system entitlements and attachments

Transnational medical travelthe temporary movement by patients across national borders in order to address medical concerns abroad that are (considered to be) unable to be sufficiently met within their countries of residenceis an important therapeutic coping strategy used by growing proportions of peoples with a diverse range of mobility profiles and intensities of global moorings. Studying this phenomenon provides useful insight into a rapidly globalising era of health governance, where an ever-wider array of state and nonstate actors are transcending the increasingly restrictive national containerisations of health care and engaging in cross-border action to effectively address contemporary health challenges at both individual and collective levels. In our introduction to this special issue on transnational medical travel, we draw on both 'medical tourism' and migrant health scholarship to acknowledge the diversity of motivations among migrant and non-migrant patients alike and the complex nature of mobile patients' attachments to the multiple places in which they seek care. We then bring attention to how dynamic structural issues in mobile patients' countries of residence and destination shape their attachments to places and health systems over time, examining the linkages between vitality of the political and social systems in these places to which they are differently attached and their dis/ satisfaction and dis/enfranchisement with them. KEYWORDSHealth care; place attachment; transnationalism; migrant health; medical tourism; disenfranchisement ing within a country's borders, however, is necessarily included in this national social pact, nor are those who are included formally necessarily included informally. How inclusion in and exclusion from national health systems are defined and classified is the focus of heated political and societal debate, especially now when, across the globe, many national health systems are experiencing significant resource strain, leading to the tightening of eligibility

The entrepreneurial bricolage theory has been connected to a wide range of organizational phenomena, including innovation, firm performance, social entrepreneurship, and opportunity identification. Regrettably, research in this domain is yet to significantly heighten understanding of its connection to competitive advantage, which has been touted as the ultimate goal of any strategic business. This study reverses this trend by looking at the impact of entrepreneurial bricolage on competitive advantage as well as the mediating effect of resource orchestration capability in the relationship. Based on survey data administered to 413 small business enterprises (SBEs), structural equation modeling was used to analyze the results. Results show that entrepreneurial bricolage was significantly related to competitive advantage. Resource orchestration capability partially mediated the relationship between entrepreneurial bricolage and competitive advantage. A novel finding of this study documents resource orchestration capability and entrepreneurial bricolage as antecedents of competitive advantage, which has been missing in prior literature. The study concludes with theoretical and managerial implications and also proffers future research direction.
