  • The Construction of Social Reality. Anthony Freeman in conversation with John Searle.J. Searle & A. Freeman - 1995 - Journal of Consciousness Studies 2 (2):180-189.
    John Searle began to discuss his recently published book `The Construction of Social Reality' with Anthony Freeman, and they ended up talking about God. The book itself and part of their conversation are introduced and briefly reflected upon by Anthony Freeman. Many familiar social facts -- like money and marriage and monarchy -- are only facts by human agreement. They exist only because we believe them to exist. That is the thesis, at once startling yet obvious, that philosopher John Searle (...)

  • An Empirical Assessment of Social Structural and Cultural Change in Clinical Directorates.Jeffrey Braithwaite - 2006 - Health Care Analysis 14 (4):185-193.
    The results of two observational studies of clinical directorates (CDs) are presented. The paper exposes fresh perspectives about the management of hospitals and CDs, and suggests that the most important axis on which hospital decision-making rests continues to be profession rather than the CD, even though CDs are designed at least in part to mitigate professional tribalism and bridge professional divides. In empiricising social structural and cultural theories it seems clear that changes to the prescribed organisational framework, which CDs represent, (...)

  • Restructuring Health Care: The Patient-Focused Paradigm.J. Philip Lathrop & Healthcare Forum - 1993 - Jossey-Bass.
    As the author explains in this book, the problem of improving performance in health care is due largely to the underlying assumptions on which traditional administration practices have been based. In restructuring health care, he offers a new - and necessary - way of viewing health care, a new paradigm of hospital leadership. The author offers in-depth advice for making the necessary shift from hierarchical, functional organization structures to a patient-focused approach to health care operations. The author describes the concepts (...)

  • Giving Voice to Health Professionals' Attitudes About Their Clinical Service Structures in Theoretical Context.Jeffrey Braithwaite, Mary T. Westbrook & Rick A. Iedema - 2005 - Health Care Analysis 13 (4):315-335.
    Within the context of structural theories this paper examines what health professionals say about their clinical service structures. We firstly trace various conceptual perspectives on clinical service structures, discussing multiple theoretical axes. These theories question whether clinical service structures represent either superficial or more profound changes in hospitals. We secondly explore which view is supported though a content analysis of the free text responses of 111 health professionals (44 doctors, 45 nurses and 22 allied health practitioners) about their clinical service (...)
