Synopsis

Isms in Health Care Human Resources: A Concise Guide to Workplace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion was written to address the human side of health care workplaces and explore how "isms" in health care and other workplaces can reduce output and elevate costs. After providing an overview of isms in healthcare and other workplaces, this concise text examines closely various "isms," from central tendancyism and sexualism to IQism and heterosexism while covering a range of other "isms." It then proposes strategies for intermediation for health care administrators in order to guide them in reducing "isms" in the workplace, and, as a result, increasing productivity. Key Features - Thorough discussion of relevant current events and hot topics, including the Me-Too Movement and the growing advocacy for LGBTQ communities. - Well-supported by extensive data & research from behavioral science, history, philosophy, and other disciplines. - Concise length makes this text an manageable for use in a short 2-3 week course or seminar, and/or an affordable supplement to a Health Care Human Resources or Organizational Leadership course. - Instructor resources include an additional PowerPoint presentation on "Reducing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace by Unraveling its Causes" and a test bank that assesses Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 health care administration competencies.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Darren Liu received his DrPH (Doctor of Public Health) and biostatistics MS from the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. He completed his BS in public health and MHA in health administration in Taiwan. He teaches both MPH and MHA programs in the areas of health and healthcare disparities, organizational behavior and management, population health, long-term care administration, healthcare leadership, and epidemiology. He has taught and developed a variety of courses at both graduate and undergraduate level over the past 10 years at 4 different universities as a full-time faculty member. Betty (Rush, Collier, Watson, Arrington) Burston "skipped" 2nd and 12th grades and entered college at the age of 16. Almost immediately, she met now Congressman John Lewis and became active in the Civil Rights movement. Subsequently, she became an active member of the Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM). During her senior year as an undergraduate, she enrolled in the 16 credits that comprised her last semester at Fisk University and in 19 semester hours at Tennessee State University in order to take courses that were simply fulfilling to her interests. She was awarded a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship and enrolled in a Ph.D. program at Cornell University. She subsequently accompanied her husband, one of the first African American graduates of Vanderbilt University, to Maryland when he enrolled in the University of Maryland Medical School. At that time, despite being the mother of two children and pregnant with a third child, she simultaneously enrolled full-time in a doctoral program at American University and in a full-time M.A. program in African Studies at Howard University. These experiences led to her decision to become a transdisciplinary researcher. She credits her familiarity with multiple disciplines and her experience in two different "movements" in the 1960s as the foundation that allows her to view Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion from a uniquely different set of lenses.
