Abstract

Hospitals, physician groups, and other healthcare organizations (HCOs) are joining together in a multitude of new ways in ever increasing numbers. This process or strategy is often called “integrating” and results in some form of integrated delivery system (IDS) or accountable health plan (AHP) if an insurance function is part of the system. Recent literature suggests that many HCOs are not meeting their integration objectives, with resulting financial and structural difficulties. One of the major causes is the failure to follow a developed plan for integration planning and implementation. Organizations in other industries often rely on written guides to help them efficiently accomplish complex projects. HCOs that use a guide such as the one suggested here should improve the chances of a successful and financially viable integration.

Abstract

This will be an attempt to construct a pragmatist theory of the self, drawing on the four major classical pragmatists. From John Dewey, I will take the self as actor or agent; from George Herbert Mead the social self; from Charles Sanders Peirce the semiotic or significative self; and from William James the emotion of self feeling. The four fit together reasonably well, and the result is a highly egalitarian, democratic and humanistic idea of what it means to be a human being.

Abstract

In this issue of Studies in Symbolic Interaction, I am pleased to announce the publication of the first set of papers in our newly created “blue-ribbon paper” series. The series is dedicated to publishing cutting-edge papers done from a broadly defined interactionist's perspective. We particularly want to publish the works of new and seasoned scholars that display not only a creative, but also a humanistic bent. We want our series to provide scholars who think “outside the box” about the human condition with a chance to “push the envelope” in their special areas of expertise and interest without fear of having their work rejected for being too avante grade. Thus, our main objective is to help beginning and veteran interactionists whose work “breaks the mold” carve out or expand their niche in the research literature. In the immortal words of Robert Park, the journalist turned sociologist and early interactionist, we want to help scholars who fall into this category find their “spot in the sun.”
