Understanding Health Policy leaders' training needs.
PloS one, 2017Co-Authors: Carey Roth Bayer, L. Lerissa Smith, Renée Volny Darko, Marissa Mckool, Fengxia Yan, Harry J. HeimanAbstract:Purpose We assessed the training needs of Health Policy leaders and practitioners across career stages; identified areas of core content for Health Policy training programs; and, identified training modalities for Health Policy leaders. Methods We convened a focus group of Health Policy leaders at varying career stages to inform the development of the Health Policy Leaders’ Training Needs Assessment tool. We piloted and distributed the tool electronically. We used descriptive statistics and thematic coding for analysis. Results Seventy participants varying in age and stage of career completed the tool. “Cost implications of Health policies” ranked highest for personal knowledge development and “intersection of Policy and politics” ranked highest for Health Policy leaders in general. “Effective communication skills” ranked as the highest skill element and “integrity” as the highest attribute element. Format for training varied based on age and career stage. Conclusions This study highlighted the training needs of Health Policy leaders personally as well as their perceptions of the needs for training Health Policy leaders in general. The findings are applicable for current Health Policy leadership training programs as well as those in development.

Health Policy Training: A Review of the Literature.
International journal of environmental research and public health, 2015Co-Authors: Harry J. Heiman, Marissa Mckool, L. Lerissa Smith, Denise Mitchell, Carey Roth BayerAbstract:The context within which Health care and public Health systems operate is framed by Health policies. There is growing consensus about the need for increased Health Policy leadership and a Health professional workforce prepared to assume these leadership roles. At the same time, there is strong evidence supporting the need for a broader Policy lens and the need to intentionally target Health disparities. We reviewed the published literature between 1983 and 2013 regarding Health Policy training. From 5124 articles identified, 33 met inclusion criteria. Articles varied across common themes including target audience, goal(s), Health Policy definition, and core curricular content. The majority of articles were directed to medical or nursing audiences. Most articles framed Health Policy as Health care Policy and only a small number adopted a broader Health in all policies definition. Few articles specifically addressed vulnerable populations or Health disparities. The need for more rigorous research and evaluation to inform Health Policy training is compelling. Providing Health professionals with the knowledge and skills to engage and take leadership roles in Health Policy will require training programs to move beyond their limited Health care-oriented Health Policy framework to adopt a broader Health and Health equity in all policies approach.

let s dance organization studies medical sociology and Health Policy
Social Science & Medicine, 2012Co-Authors: Graeme Currie, R Dingwall, Martin James Kitchener, Justin WaringAbstract:This Special Issue of Social Science & Medicine investigates the potential for positive inter-disciplinary interaction, a ‘generative dance’, between organization studies (OS), and two of the journal’s traditional disciplinary foundations: Health Policy and medical sociology. This is both necessary and timely because of the extent to which organizations have become a neglected topic within medical sociology and Health Policy analysis. We argue there is need for further and more sustained theoretical and conceptual synergy between OS, medical sociology and Health Policy, which provides, on the one-hand a cutting-edge and thought-provoking basis for the analysis of contemporary Health reforms, and on the other hand, enables the development and elaboration of theory. We emphasize that sociologists and Policy analysts in Healthcare have been leading contributors to our understanding of organizations in modern society, that OS enhances our understanding of medical settings, and that organizations remain one of the most influential actors of our time. As a starting point to discussion, we outline the genealogy of OS and its application to Healthcare settings. We then consider how medical sociology and Health Policy converge or diverge with the concerns of OS in the study of Healthcare settings. Following this, we focus upon the material environment, specifically the position of business schools, which frames the generative dance between OS, medical sociology and Health Policy. This sets the context for introducing the thirteen articles that constitute the Special Issue of Social Science & Medicine.

Mental Health Policy and Mental Hospitalization
Current Directions in Psychological Science, 1993Co-Authors: Charles A. KieslerAbstract:Mental Health Policy is a rich field for study, and psychologists have much to offer it. Mental hospitaliza tion is the central, albeit uninten tional, feature of mental Health pol icy. In this article, I present some recent analyses of national data bases regarding mental hospitaliza tion and relate them to issues in mental Health Policy. The most pervasive theme in U.S. mental Health Policy is a strong ten dency not to see the whole array of problems at once.1 Discussions of Policy issues become very tilted as a function of what one emphasizes and what one leaves out. For the ed ucated public, mental Health Policy suggests state mental hospitals and private psychiatric hospitals, on the one hand, and issues of homeless ness and nursing homes, on the other. For psychologists, discussions of mental Health Policy tend to re flect their concern with the effective

U.S. mental Health Policy. Doomed to fail.
The American psychologist, 1992Co-Authors: Charles A. KieslerAbstract:Changes in the de facto system of mental Health care in the last decade reflect organizational and entrepreneurial responsiveness to changes in Health Policy, not mental Health Policy. Various other actions described here reduced statutory or institutional leadership roles in mental Health and increased the pace at which mental Health Policy was becoming dependent on Health Policy. In turn, U.S. Health Policy in the 20th century has been inherently flawed. The short-term general hospital--the "doctors' workshop"--emphasizing acute care and surgery, has been the cornerstone of U.S. Health Policy throughout the 20th century. The mimicry of Health services by mental Health leads to demonstrably more expensive and less effective mental Health care and dooms mental Health Policy to failure.
