ABSTRACT

This Point/Counterpoint article discusses the transformation of dental practice from the traditional solo/small-group (partnership) model of the 1900s to large Dental Support Organizations (DSO) that support affiliated dental practices by providing nonclinical functions such as, but not limited to, accounting, human resources, marketing, and legal and practice management. Many feel that DSO-managed group practices (DMGPs) with employed providers will become the setting in which the majority of oral health care will be delivered in the future. Viewpoint 1 asserts that the traditional dental practice patterns of the past are shifting as many younger dentists gravitate toward employed positions in large group practices or the public sector. Although educational debt is relevant in predicting graduates' practice choices, other variables such as gender, race, and work-life balance play critical roles as well. Societal characteristics demonstrated by aging Gen Xers and those in the Millennial generation blend seamlessly with the opportunities DMGPs offer their employees. Viewpoint 2 contends the traditional model of dental care delivery-allowing entrepreneurial practitioners to make decisions in an autonomous setting-is changing but not to the degree nor as rapidly as Viewpoint 1 professes. Millennials entering the dental profession, with characteristics universally attributed to their generation, see value in the independence and flexibility that a traditional practice allows. Although DMGPs provide dentists one option for practice, several alternative delivery models offer current dentists and future dental school graduates many of the advantages of DMGPs while allowing them to maintain the independence and freedom a traditional practice provides.

ABSTRACT

Alongside the projects of internal quality management and mandatory quality assurance there is a variety of quality driven projects across institutions initiated and run by various partners to continuously improve the quality of care. The multiplicity and characteristics of these projects are discussed on the basis of projects run by the BQS Institute between 2010 and 2013. In addition, useful interactions and linking with mandatory quality benchmarking and with internal quality management are discussed. (As supplied by publisher).

ABSTRACT

Dentists and the dental profession are changing. One significant change in the deliver of dental care is the evolution of group practices to include networks of dental practices with central management by various service organizations that are owned or financed by private equity firms. This article discusses their evolution and potential advantages and disadvantages for dentists who join them. The article concludes with a prediction about the future heterogeneity of the dental care system.

ABSTRACT

En el presente trabajo se explora la relación entre el conflicto relacional y el clima de servicio analizando el papel modulador de los estilos de gestión del conflicto y tomando como nivel de análisis la unidad de trabajo. La muestra está compuesta por 397 empleados de contacto directo con el cliente (recepcionistas y camareros) pertenecientes a 91 unidades de trabajo de hoteles y restaurantes de la Comunidad Autónoma Andaluza. Los resultados muestran los efectos perjudiciales que el conflicto relacional tiene sobre el clima de servicio y el papel modulador que ejerce el estilo de gestión integración en dicha relación. En concreto, cuando las unidades de trabajo, ante un conflicto relacional, utilizan la integración a niveles altos, éste no se relaciona negativamente con el clima de servicio. Así, se concluye que es la integración y no la evitación el estilo de gestión más eficaz para aminorar los efectos negativos del conflicto relacional en estos contextos (AU)


The main goal of this study was to explore the relationship between relationship conflict and service climate. To this end, we have studied which specific conflict management styles reduce or increase the relationship between relationship conflict and service climate at the work-unit level. Hypotheses were tested by tracking 91 work-units (397 employees) from 42 hotels and restaurants in southern Spain. Results revealed that relationship conflict is negatively related to service climate and that an integrating conflict management conflict style plays a moderating role in this relationship. This means that, when work-units use an integrating style to manage relationship conflict this conflict type is not related to service climate. Thus, the present study supports the idea that it is integrating and not avoiding the most effective style to manage the relationship conflict in these contexts (AU)

ABSTRACT

Until recently, medicine was one of the few areas in which an individual could practice a profession as a citizen member of the organization. However, in the last 15 years as dramatic reductions have occurred in outpatient reimbursement, physicians have moved from self-governing organizations with the rights of citizen participation to autocratic, centrally controlled organizations with little offered to physicians other than to provide high-quality manual labor. The principles of prosperity and choice espoused in The Federalist Papers are governance principles that can reestablish citizenship in medical groups no matter who owns them.

ABSTRACT

En nombre del proyecto Gestión de Políticas Publicas y Salud liderado en Antioquia por la Dirección Seccional de Salud y la Facultad Nacional de Salud Pública, agradezco a los organizadores la invitación que nos han hecho para que compartamos con ustedes hoy algunos de los conceptos y experiencias relacionados con la gestión de políticas públicas en salud. Los organizadores me han pedido especialmente retomar algunos conceptos básicos relacionados con el tema que hemos trabajado en otros espacios y que podrían facilitar el trabajo interinstitucional. Por eso he estructurado esta ponencia en cuatro partes. En la primera retomaré brevemente, a manera de glosario algunos conceptos básicos relacionados con la comprensión y gestión de las políticas públicas, cuya revisión podría facilitarnos lacomprensión del resto de la ponencia. A continuación desarrollo algunas reflexiones sobre las preguntas que podrían o deberían hacerse los agentes interesados por las políticas públicas de salud y sobre los métodos que podrían ayudarles a resolver sus inquietudes. La presentación termina con una conclusión que podría ser objeto de debate a lo largo del evento. Esta ponencia defiende tres ideas centrales: En primer lugar, que las políticas públicas que afectan la salud son siempre complejas y suelen ser principalmente extra-sectoriales. Por esta misma razón deben ser enfocadas interdisciplinaria y trans- sectorialmente. En segundo lugar, que la gestión de políticas públicas es el reflejo de intereses con frecuencia opuestos y por ello mismo debería incluir la participación de los afectados. Y finalmente, que los alcances de la participación de lasociedad civil pueden ser muy limitados si ésta no se organiza de manera efectiva.


On behalf of the Public Policies Development and Health Project led by the Divisional Management of Health an the National Faculty of Public Health in Antioquia, I thank the organizers for the invitation they made us to share some of the concepts and experiences related to the Public Policies Development in Health. The organizers have especially asked me to review some basic concepts related to the topic we have worked before, which could facilitate interinstitutional work. Due to what was mentioned above, this presentation has been divided in four parts. In the first part, I will briefly mention some basic concepts related to the comprehension and development of public politics, to facilitate the understanding of the rest of the presentation. The concepts are distributed in a glossary. Following this, I present some thoughts on the questions that individuals, interested in public policies of health and in methods that could be of help when answering inqueries, could or should ask themselves. This presentation defines three main ideas: firstly, the public policies that affect the health sector are always complex and tend to cover multiple sectors. Due to this, they should have an interdisciplinary and trans-sectoral focus. In second place, the development of public policies is the reflection, usually, of opposite interests, and therefore, should include the participation of those involved. Finally, the range of the civilian participation could be very limited, if this part of society doesn't become organized in an effective manner
