“…Multiple factors have driven 'mental health care reform'. They include competition and consolidation (Coombs 2005); 'an ethos of consumerism' that has resulted in a focus on care in the community (Petersen, Kakanovic, and Hansen 2002;Zeman and Swanke 2008); and an overall health care industry shift to managed health care systems (Oliver 2002;Stroul et al 1998). As diverse as the reasons are, the results are quite similar.…”

At the same time that low-wage workers in the changing US health care systems are facing under-and unemployment, organizational scholars are engaged in a healthy discussion of the impact of layoffs on various organizational stakeholders. Through a feminist ethics lens and an ethnographic in-depth interviewing methodology, this case study expands that work by exploring how 55 low-wage workers in a state mental health hospital facing closure make sense of their experiences of impending job loss. The collected narratives illuminate how the workers interpret the (un)ethical behaviors of the organizational decision makers and how the workers author a (re)framing of their experiences through an attention to care. Explicated from the workers' descriptions is a perspective about standpoint and open communication that offers organizational scholars and practitioners a foundation from which to expand approaches to communicating with workers in an environment of organizational closure.

“…An increase in privatization of public programs in general has been documented (Oliver, 2002). Although child welfare service provision originated in the private sector (Embry, Buddenhagen, & Bolles, 2000), largescale privatization of core mandated child welfare services is frequently considered a relatively new development (Petr & Johnson, 1999).…”

Quality improvement centers were created by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Children's Bureau beginning in 2001 to promote knowledge development through an innovative approach to applied collaborative research in child welfare. The National Quality Improvement Center on the Privatization of Child Welfare Services was funded to assess the current status of privatization, conduct a knowledge gaps analysis, fund and conduct cross-site evaluation of research and demonstration projects, promote the expansion of the evidence base, and facilitate ongoing dialogue among child welfare administrators, policy makers, researchers, and practitioners regarding public/private partnership in-service provision. The article discusses the impetus and empirical foundation for the creation of the center, provides an overview of the purpose and approach being taken, and describes its knowledge development initiatives. Additionally, a brief contextual history of child welfare privatization is provided, along with key content findings from the recently completed needs assessment.
