A wide range of theories are covered, from behavioural to attitudinal, socio-cognitive to contingency, and social exchange to team.

Health systems worldwide are grappling with the challenge of coordinating difference in an increasingly complex care environment. In response this book features the latest research on organizational studies in healthcare and explores the relationship between strategic and organic change and what this means for the way we organize health work. Focusing on the complexity of healthcare environments, it discusses the need to cross professional and organizational boundaries. Specifically, this book focuses on the implications for health systems in the way that they continue to balance planning and intervention with organic learning systems. Comprising the best contributions from the 2018 Conference on Organizational Behaviour in Health Care (OBHC), this book is an important resource for healthcare researchers, as well as policy-makers and managers within the industry. Contributors explore the extent to which healthcare is codified through empirical analysis of practical interventions and conceptual debate.

Networks have become a prominent template for public service governance. Often seen as an alternative to hierarchies and contracts, networks cross institutionalized organizational or sectoral boundaries to promote collaboration and the sharing of resources when addressing complex problems. Nowhere is this more the case than in the field of health services modernization and improvement. Comprising unique empirical contributions, drawn primarily from the experience of the UK National Health Service (NHS), this edited collection develops a ‘decentred’ analysis of health and care networks. Contributors look beyond particular structures or patterns of governance and focus instead on the interpretation of the meaningful practices of policy actors as they encounter and enact policy instruments and structures. The approach offers a distinct form of analysis that deepens and enriches more traditional public policy accounts of network governance. It recognizes the influence of local history, highlights the influence of dominant economic, technical and corporate narratives, and acknowledges the continued influence of biomedical knowledge and professional expertise. Offering practical insight for current and future service leaders about the challenges of implementing, managing and working within networks, this book draws out key messages for practitioners and researchers alike.

Healthcare managers, professionals and service users operate in an increasingly complex environment in terms of policy, regulation and governance arrangements. The policy process is becoming pluralised as competing narratives are drawn upon to influence practice. A wide range of contradictory and inconsistent policies are on offer to healthcare stakeholders, which ultimately results in a broad spectrum of responses, adaptations and improvisations throughout the process of policy implementation. The impact on managerial and professional practice is significant: Whilst some voices are suppressed or ignored, the complex nature of contemporary policy contexts can also help local actors exercise their agency and advance their agenda.This edited volume investigates how contemporary policy trends are influencing healthcare systems, organisations and professions and explores the various ways in which policy implementation could be enacted, resisted and reinvented by healthcare managers and professionals on the ground. It sheds light on the complex web of connections that exist between policy development (Part I), its translation into practice (Part II), and the activities of organisational leaders who are trying their best to make sense of – and succeed in – challenging policy contexts (Part III).

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to radical transformations in the organisationand delivery of health and care services across the world. In many countries,policy makers have rushed to re-organise care services to meet the surge demandof COVID-19, from re-purposing existing services to creating new ‘field’ hospitals.Such strategies signal important and sweeping changes in the organisation ofboth ‘COVID’ and ‘non-COVID’ care, whilst asking more fundamental questionsabout the long-term organisation of care ‘after COVID’. In some contexts, thepandemic has exposed the fragilities and vulnerabilities of care systems, whilstin others, it has shown how services are organised to be more resilient andadaptive to unanticipated pressures. The COVID-19 pandemic presents a rare opportunity to examine empirically andto develop new theoretical frameworks on how and why health systems adapttosuch unusual and intense pressures. International contributors consider howresponses to COVID-19 are transforming the organisation and governance ofhealth and care services and explore questions around strategic leadership atlocal, regional, national and transnational level. The book offers unique insightand analysis on the dynamics of policy-making, the organisation and governanceof care organisations, the role of technologies in governing, the changing role ofprofessionals and the possibilities for more resilient care systems.

This book explores the social context of healthcare innovation and highlights the emergent and contingent nature of implementing change. Drawing on empirical evidence, it examines the ways in which people and organisations engage in collective sensemaking processes to create meanings that enable innovation to become integrated into health care practice. With contributions from a range of cross-disciplinary authors and perspectives, the book ultimately advocates for a more open and interpretive approach to implementation, drawing together lessons learnt across the cases presented. This leads to a closer consideration of the processes through which collective sensemaking shape the implementation of healthcare innovation and change.Chapters 1, 4 and 5 are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
