Exploring the mechanisms underlying performance comparisons, Performance Comparison and Organizational Service Provision investigates how such assessments shape hospitals’ service provision and medical professionals’ work.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.

Organisationen produzieren vielfältige Bewertungen von Personen. Der Band fragt nach Funktionen und Folgen organisierter Personenbewertung und danach, wie der Organisationskontext Personenbewertung prägt. Bewertungssoziologisch geht der Band der Vermutung nach, dass sich die Bewertung von Personen systematisch von der Bewertung anderer Objekte unterscheidet: Personen sind sakrale Objekte der Moderne, deren Bewertung sich als überaus heikel erweist, aber gerade in Organisationskontexten dennoch routinemäßig stattfindet. Personen sind darüber hinaus auch Subjekte, die sich auf ihre Bewertung einstellen, auf sie reagieren, an ihr mitwirken. Vor diesem Hintergrund fragen die Beiträge des Bandes, wie sich die Besonderheiten des Bewertungsobjekts Person auf organisierte Personenbewertungen auswirken, welche Aspekte von Personalität dabei berücksichtigt werden und welche Bedeutung Personenbewertungen für Organisationen haben.
