Resource Allocation in Paediatric Patient and Family-Centred Care

摘要: In this chapter, I explore the implications of paediatric patient and family-centred care (PPFCC) on resource allocation processes decisions at micro (clinical) meso (organizational) levels in healthcare settings. Although is commonly identified as one most pressing ethical practical challenges faced by health organizations today, literature PPFCC resoundingly silent such challenges. Indeed, often presented a resource-neutral or -positive strategy without acknowledging daily realities providing within finite resources. This myopic view not only unhelpful to those clinicians, managers, patients families who grapple with these difficulties real-time; it also lost opportunity settings committed PPFCC. By examining two hypothetical cases—one clinical level other organizational level—I contend that core principles are concordant many current advances practice scholarship, they may enable better mobilize their limited resources toward achieving high quality healthcare. conclude further conceptual empirical scholarship needed promising alignment between best practices both allocation.
