François Steudler: The Hospital, the Medical Profession and Hospital Policies.
By placing the hospital in a historical dimension and highlighting those factors involved in its transformations as well as the way its functions have developed and diversified, the author is trying to show how the nature of relationships between the medical corps, the administration and financial organizations are being modified. Until around 1850, the hospital principally had the job of lodging persons and exercising social control. The medical corps was not very integrated therein. Between 1830 and 1940, the hospital became a complex organization. Technology and special disciplines have developed. The role of the administration has grown. However, the medical corps has conserved a large degree of professional autonomy. At present, the hospital has become a technical system. The importance of health problems leads to a rationalizing logic, especially on the part of government and administration. This logic aims at associating the medical corps, which becomes more and more integrated within the institution, with major administrative decisions. Until quite recently, this corps only had a consultative role in such matters. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
