Hwang J, Christensen CM. Disruptive innovation in health care delivery: a framework for business-model innovation. Health Aff. 2008;27(5):1329–35. This creates a narrow window for organizational change in public hospitals which, combined with the standard political hazards [ 1], still has only a relatively low probability of success, and thus further reinforces the view of hospital management and staff that ‘this too shall pass’.

Bosk CL. Forgive and Remember: Managing Medical Failure. Chicago: University of Chicago Press; 1979. This set of structural and contextual factors breaks out the core organizational constraints that confront decisions about change in public hospitals. These six dimensions delimit the de facto boundaries, lay down the practical parameters that both policymaking and management needs somehow to accommodate. Every proposal to alter institutional behavior, every new mechanism to improve quality and safety, to introduce more efficient financial programs, to alter daily staff service routines, even to change contracting partners for auxiliary services such as laundry or cleaning, all necessarily gets filtered through this six-way sieve before the outcome actually emerges at clinic or organization level. Business models: Michael Porter argues that health care has the wrong sort of competition [ 33]. Similarly, Clayton Christensen argues that current business and operating models do not fit the nature of the work to be done [ 34]. Busse R, Geissler A, Quentin W, Wiley M, editors.

The Latest

Sutherland K, Leatherman S. Regulation and quality improvement: a review of the literature. London: The Health Foundation; 2006. the conflict between expanding curative and primary care coverage areas as against staying within financial and budgetary limitations The third area of organizational dysfunction that public hospitals suffer from reflects the explicit political character of policy and management decision-making in these institutions. There is no shortage of literature that describes the non-linear, non-optimizing, and sometimes seemingly non-rational elements that compose typical politically structured decision-making in all sectors of public policy (see for example [ 67, 68]). To suggest that public sector decision-making is broadly dysfunctional when viewed from the perspective of health provider and/or service organizations as well as of the staff working in those institutions is not novel. Only by reversion in every field – political, religious, economic etc. – to small-scale organization would it be possible to any considerable extent to escape its influence” [ 41].

J Health Serv Res Policy. 2005;10(1):45–53B.All of these measures have had at least some effect on hospital behavior and institutional outcomes [ 27, 28]. This has been generally positive but the effect has often been less powerful than expected and not necessarily what was intended [ 29]. However, most evoked reaction from the forces of institutional status quo, and nearly all have had a relatively short half-life in generating effective organizational change [ 30]. Both share a zeal for the political arena and a curiosity about where life may take them. Brown's interests are eclectic. He reads widely but also enjoys harvesting olives on his 2,500-acre ranch about an hour north of Sacramento. After scientists were invited to explore the ranch, an entomologist discovered a rare species of beetle. It's now named after Brown: Bembidion brownorum.

Then he had some advice for Biden. "When you’ve been in politics for 50 years, the first thing you’re supposed to learn is how to avoid an embarrassing question. That has to be lesson one.” While the palace intrigues have caught the media’s attention, the more important failures—the gradual erosion of the publicly funded National Health Service (one of very few state institutions in Britain that remain overwhelmingly popular) and the wider weaknesses of state structures—have yet to receive a proper airing. (That time may yet come. The inquiry has been split into five so-called modules, and it is only midway into the second.) Put it all together and boy, things can go bad very fast,” Brown said in an interview with NBC News. “That being the case, Xi and Biden should be worried to death about not alleviating the mounting conflict and danger. And I don’t see it. That’s what I call sleepwalking. They’re just walking along." Schwarzenegger was in Sacramento over the weekend for events marking the 20th anniversary of his swearing-in after the historic 2003 California recall campaign. Interviewed on stage by journalist Carla Marinucci, he fielded a question about Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s remark likening political adversaries to “vermin.”

America, he said needs "fresh blood in there." He insisted he was not singling out Biden. But there's no denying the obvious: Biden has held elective office for most of the last half-century. What is required is a thorough reconstruction of the United Kingdom’s governance. One of the key figures in any future Labour government is a top civil servant who shortly after delivering her report Johnson’s “party-gate” scandals announced that she was moving to be chief of staff to the likely next prime minister, Keir Starmer. Her main task, which she has already begun planning, is an overhaul of structures, rights, and responsibilities of government departments. This is expected to be wide-ranging. Both authors participated fully in the writing of this article. Both authors read and approved the final manuscript. Author information
