Sustainable Health

Engulfed by numerous setbacks pronounced by huge manpower crises, work overload and poor working conditions, public sector employees find it increasingly difficult to ensure a more patient-focused, results-driven and sustainable health care system. Whilst extrinsic rewards are almost non-existent, managers in public health care can play a pivotal role in enhancing employee motivation through intrinsic factors. This study aims to assess managerial characteristics for public health care (management of attention, meaning, self, trust, risk, feelings) and employee motivation (achievement, power, affiliation) and, the relationships between these. A sample of 338 employees (stratified random sampling) and 18 managers (consensus sampling) were drawn. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. Based on the results, the study provides guidance for enhancing employee motivation and consequently, service delivery in public health care.

Care System

This chapter examines the historical shift from the welfarist provision of health care by collective action to a consumerist form of provision that treats health care as a matter of individual judgments. Reductionist medicine is a natural fit for a consumerist approach, given its apparent indifference to the moral causes or collective implications of individual problems. However, since the problems of dependency cannot be eliminated, only relocated, the moral and collective dimensions of medicine are inescapable. While any measure of burden sharing remains, so will the function of adjudicating claims. A socially sustainable health care system must incorporate an understanding of mutual obligation: both our responsibility for the physical and social conditions of the sick, and their commitment to change those things within their power.

The Value of Conscience

Social Value

Chapter 1 looks at why it is important to value conscience in health care, or what health care professionals might lose if their conscientious conduct was not protected. This chapter establishes that conscience has value, generally speaking, in health care, although not because it leads health care professionals on the path to moral righteousness or truth, as some would have it. Rather, it can allow health care professionals to have integrity, which itself has both personal and social value. The claim that conscience promotes integrity is common in bioethics, although the author interprets “integrity” differently than most bioethicists do.
