Modernising Health Care
"Structured around the role of the professions as mediators between states and their citizens, and set against a background of tighter resources and growing demands for citizenship rights, Ellen Kuhlmann's book offers a much-needed comparative analysis, using the German health care system as a case study. The German system, with its strongly self-regulatory medical profession, exemplifies both the capacity of professionalism to remake itself and the role of the state in response, highlighting the benefits and dangers of medical self-regulation while demonstrating the potential for change beyond marketisation and managerialism." "Modernising health care provides new approaches and a wealth of new empirical data for academics and students of health policy, medical sociology and the sociology of professions, and for health policy makers and managers."--BOOK JACKET.
