Biopolitics, space and hospital reconfiguration
2019, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Whilst recent years have seen an increased interest in governmentality influenced scholarship in medical sociology – few authors have explored the spatial implications of Foucault's work for healthcare organisation and management studies. An exception is David Armstrong, whose work highlights the dynamic nature of the concepts of time and space in British healthcare (Armstrong, 1985). Armstrong later identified ‘surveillance medicine’ which, informed by Foucault's work, is concerned with historical changes in the relationship between medical knowledge, population, and the temporal and spatial distribution of illness.
The fungibility of time in claims of efficiency: The case of making transmission of prescriptions electronic in English general practice
2013, International Journal of Medical InformaticsCitation Excerpt :The intention to save time with health IT is also seen in primary care. Efficiency and time pressure have remained a concern for primary care and GP practices in England from the founding of the National Health Service (NHS) in 1948 to the present day [3]. General practitioners (GPs) in England provide NHS health care services to registered patients, either as single family doctor clinics, or, more frequently, in partnerships with other GPs and other clinical staff.
"Someone's rooting for you": Continuity, advocacy and street-level bureaucracy in UK maternal healthcare
2009, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :However, while this is articulated in professional training, the structure of their work and the fragmented nature of their relationships with clients undermine their ability to advocate (Lipsky, 1980). Both advocacy (Foley & Platzer, 2007; Goold & Klipp, 2002; McLean, 1995) and continuity (Armstrong, 1985; Bramesfeld, Klippel, Seidel, Schwartz, & Dierks, 2007; Woodward, Abelson, Tedford, & Hutchison, 2004) have been discussed by social scientists for some time. However the meanings ascribed to these terms are contested.
