Sommario/riassunto

This e-book examines the notion of trust in a healthcare setting - from the micro level of trust between an individual patient and clinician, between one clinician and another, or between a clinician and a manager; to the macro level which includes patient and public trust in clinicians and managers, healthcare organizations or healthcare systems in general.  The e-book provides a comprehensive overview of the literature, as well as in-depth case studies from a broad geographic perspective.
