Public values and administrative reforms in French health care

Abstract

Public value appears to be reborn out of the ashes of earlier failed new public management (NPM)-driven policies in health care. It advocates greater consultation of the civic society and autonomy of public managers in decision-making.

The 2014 Health Project heralds a phase of policy hybridization that not only preserves earlier NPM tools but also seeks to reaffirm the role of the public and the medical profession in the governance of the health system.

Ergonomic mapping of work‐related musculoskeletal disorders and stress among Indian healthcare workers: An overview

“…However, consolidated research data in the Indian context seems to be lacking. The results can provide information about the size of the problem and the findings can be used to design health welfare policies for healthcare professionals, develop administrative reforms, intervention strategies for this group and possibly other specialties as well, thereby ensuring a higher quality of life (QoL) and making the work environment safer, healthier without compromising the productivity and profit (Simonet, 2017; Simonet, 2018). The study was undertaken with the following aims: (a) to study the incidences of WMSDs experienced by healthcare workers working in hospitals of India by Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), (b) to quantify the psychosocial stress experienced by nurses through Organizational Role Stress Scale (ORS‐Scale) and Modified Nursing Stress Scale (MNSS), (c) to quantify the psychosocial factors and their possible association with WMSDs in doctors by Re‐modified Work‐style instrument, (d) to evaluate the intensity of pain pre and postexposure of work in doctors by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), (e) to ascertain the QoL among nurses by Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL‐BREF).…”
