Human Resources for Health in Europe
By: Dubois, Carl-Ardy; Nolte, Ellen; McKee, Martin
Published by: Open University Press
Health service human resources are key determinants of health service performance. The human resource is the largest and most expensive input into health care, yet it can be the most challenging to develop. This book examines some of the major challenges facing health care professions in Europe and the potential responses to these challenges. The book analyses how the current regulatory processes and practices related to key aspects of the management of the health professions may facilitate or inhibit the development of effective responses to challenges facing health care systems in Europe. The authors document how health care systems in Europe are confronting existing challenges in relation to the health workforce and identify the strategies that are likely to be most effective in optimizing the management of health professionals in the future. Human Resources for Health in Europe is key reading for health policy makers and postgraduates taking courses in health services management, health policy and health economics. It is also of interest to human resource professionals. Contributors: Carl Afford, Rita Baeten, James Buchan, Anna Dixon, Carl-Ardy Dubois, Sigrún Gunnarsdóttir, Elisabeth Kachur, Karl Krajic, Suszy Lessof, Ann Mahon, Alan Maynard, Martin McKee, Ellen Nolte, Anne Marie Rafferty, Charles Shaw, Bonnie Sibbald, Ruth Young.

Informe sobre la salud en el mundo 2006
By: Salud, Organizacion Mundial de la
Published by: World Health Organization
El Informe sobre la salud en el mundo 2006 - Colaboremos por la salud presenta una evaluación realizada por expertos de la actual crisis del personal sanitario mundial, así como un ambicioso conjunto de propuestas para hacer frente a ese problema durante los próximos diez años, empezando a actuar de inmediato. Esa crisis constituye una severa limitación para la mejora de la salud en casi 60 países a nivel mundial. Se estima que existe un déficit de casi 4,3 millones de médicos, parteras, enfermeras y trabajadores auxiliares en todo el mundo, que reviste la máxima gravedad en los países más pobres, sobre todo del África subsahariana, que es donde más se necesitan. Las malas condiciones de empleo, las altas tasas de pérdida de efectivos por enfermedad y migración, y unos sistemas de enseñanza que no dan abasto reflejan la gravedad de los problemas que sufren esos países en crisis. La fuerza de trabajo sanitaria mundial asciende a unos 59 millones de personas. Una de cada tres está empleada en las Américas - la mayoría en los Estados Unidos y el Canadá -, donde se concentra más de la mitad de los recursos financieros destinados a la salud en todo el mundo. Sin embargo, sólo cuatro de cada cien trabajadores sanitarios se encuentran en el África subsahariana, que alberga una cuarta parte de la carga mundial de morbilidad, pero menos del 1% de los recursos financieros mundiales. En este informe se indica la manera de lograr un mayor equilibrio. Planificando activamente los detalles de la vida laboral de los trabajadores desde el momento de su incorporación a la formación sanitaria, pasando por la contratación, hasta la jubilación, cobra forma un amplio conjunto de acciones de política que pueden contribuir palpablemente a mejorar el desempeño de los trabajadores sanitarios. Todos los países pueden mejorar la productividad de sus trabajadores de inmediato, pero deben también empezar a prever lo que depara el futuro y adquirir la capacidad institucional necesaria para dirig

Injuries and Violence In Europe
By: World Health Organization
Published by: World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe
Injuries lead to huge human, financial and other costs to society. In the WHO European Region, road traffic injuries, drowning, poisoning, falls, fires, self-inflicted injuries and interpersonal violence are estimated to kill over 2000 people, put 60 000 others in hospital and necessitate outpatient emergency treatment for 600 000 more every day. But the evidence shows that they can be predicted and prevented. This book provides detailed data on the harm to individuals and societies that is done by unintentional injuries and violence. Describing injuries by cause and setting and violence by type, it specifies the damage done using the variables of gender, age and country income. It shows that the WHO European Region includes both high-income countries that are among the safest in the world, and low-to-middle-income countries with very high rates of death and disability from injuries and violence. Having depicted the problem, the book turns towards solutions that can save not only lives but also social and economic costs, giving examples of programmes that could be more widely applied. A separate summary for policy-makers is also available. The authors argue that the most effective approach is for all sectors of society to tackle injuries and violence together, and propose a public health framework for action, highlighting some of the key steps that need to be taken. This book identifies unique opportunities for policy-makers, civil-society organizations and professionals in the health sector to improve health by reducing the burden of injuries on the WHO European Region.
