Both a scarce resource and a basic need, it involves physical and emotional vulnerability and at the same time it operates as big business. Patients have little choice but to trust those who provide them care, but even those providers confront a great deal of medical uncertainty about the services they offer. Selling Our Souls looks at the contradictions inherent in one particular health care market-hospital care. Based on extensive interviews and observations across the three hospitals of one California city, the book explores the tensions embedded in the market for hospital care, how different hospitals manage these tensions, the historical trajectories driving disparities in contemporary hospital practice, and the perils and possibilities of various models of care. As Adam Reich shows, the book's three featured hospitals could not be more different in background or contemporary practice. PubliCare was founded in the late nineteenth century as an almshouse in order to address the needs of the destitute. Holy Care was founded by an order of nuns in the mid-twentieth century, offering spiritual comfort to the paying patient. And GroupCare was founded in the late twentieth century to rationalize and economize care for middle-class patients and their employers. Reich explains how these legacies play out today in terms of the hospitals' different responses to similar market pressures, and the varieties of care that result. Selling Our Souls is an in-depth investigation into how hospital organizations and the people who work in them make sense of and respond to the modern health care market. 606 $aHospital care 606 $aHospitals$xBusiness management 606 $aHospital care$xCost effectiveness 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aCatholic values. 610 $aEmergency Medical Incorporated. 610 $aGroupCare Hospital. 610 $aHolyCare Hospital. 610 $aPatient Protection and Affordable Care Act. 610 $aPubliCare Hospital. 610 $aSierra Medical Foundation. 610 $aWestside Health Corporation. 610 $aautonomy. 610 $abilling practices. 610 $acamaraderie. 610 $achaplains. 610 $acollegiality. 610 $acommodification. 610 $acreativity. 610 $adisciplinary authority. 610 $aegalitarianism. 610 $aelectronic medical records. 610 $aentrepreneur. 610 $aentrepreneurship. 610 $aevidence-based medicine. 610 $ahealing. 610 $ahealth care. 610 $ahospital care. 610 $ahospital staff. 610 $ahospitals. 610 $aindividualism. 610 $ainformality. 610 $ainsurance industry. 610 $alabor-management partnership. 610 $amalpractice insurance. 610 $amanagement. 610 $amarket. 610 $amarketing. 610 $amedical paternalism. 610 $anurses. 610 $apalliative care. 610 $apartnerships. 610 $apatient satisfaction surveys. 610 $apatients. 610 $aphysicians. 610 $apower. 610 $apublic service. 610 $arationalization. 610 $areligious identity. 610 $aresidency program. 610 $aresources. 610 $ashared responsibility. 610 $asocial justice. 610 $asocial values. 610 $asocialized medicine. 610 $asystems integration. 610 $avocational commitment. 610 $avocational ethic. 610 $avocational values. 615 0$aHospital care. 615 0$aHospitals$xBusiness management. 615 0$aHospital care$xCost effectiveness. 676 $a362.11 700 $aReich$b Adam D$g(Adam Dalton),$f1981-$01023779 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458343603321 996 $aSelling Our souls$92462952 997 $aUNINA
