From protection to prevention: The role of cooperative and mutual insurance in disaster risk reduction
|

Co-production and Japanese Healthcare. Work Environment, Governance, Service Quality and Social Values
|
| |
| Healthcare in most developed countries faces a complex and partly contradictory mix of financial, social and political challenges. This volume explores a possibility to address these challenges from a new perspective that emphasizes greater collaboration between the staff and patients. It is one where professionals and patients/clients act as ‘partners to co-produce healthcare through their mutual contributions’. Japan has a unique system of two user-owned or cooperative healthcare providers with nearly 200 hospitals, 500 clinics and 50,000 beds, or more hospital beds than all of Denmark and Sweden combined. This volume compares cooperative and public healthcare providers at ten hospitals across Japan with survey data from the staff, as well as data from the patients and volunteers at four of them. It documents how and why these three providers differ from one another in terms of their work environment, service quality, governance models and the social values they promote. These findings suggest the contours of a new post-Covid model of healthcare, one based on co-production. More |
