People, society and the healthcare systems themselves would benefit from a return to a values-based approach to healthcare argues New Zealand Marist, Gerald Arbuckle in his new book, “Humanizing Healthcare Reforms“.
In his book Arbuckle argues that a values-based approach would change healthcare and systems and be a much better approach to healthcare than the current financial perspective.
In Humanizing Heathcare Reforms, Arbuckle suggests that without being able to identify clearly the values and goals that unite their members, healthcare organisations are unlikely to be able to meet the demands of the constant and varied pressures they face.
Dr Maria Theresa Ho, Former Associate Professor and Associate Dean, Head of the Medical Program, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sydney, Australia, says the message the book conveys is “critically relevant, timely and desperately needed.”
The book is described as a much needed, very-accessible book, and as an essential read for anyone interested in a better approach to healthcare reform.
During 2010 Fr. Arbuckle worked at Campion Hall, Oxford University, researching issues confronting the National Health Service in England. In 2011 he gave the Martin D’Arcy Memorial Lectures at Oxford University upon which this book is based.
