Description

How is care coordinated when the course is uncertain, the work distributed, and the patient constantly redefined? In this detailed ethnographic study of the hip fracture trajectory, Beyond Patient Pathways challenges the dominant rational-linear logic of care pathways to reveal the complex, evolving assemblages that underpin everyday service delivery. The book traces how coordination is accomplished within and across diverse settings - from the control centre and ambulance services, through the emergency department, hospital ward, and operating theatres, to community-based care. The first ever study to examine the organisation of end-to-end processes in real time, it offers unique insights into the changing shape of patient trajectories. Anchored in classic sociological ideas on patient trajectories and informed by Translation Mobilisation Theory, Beyond Patient Pathways reframes patient-centred care not as a fixed ideal, but as something enacted through shifting concerns, technologies, and institutional arrangements. It brings to light the diversity of ways in which care is organised, including the often-invisible work that sustains coordination across time and settings. In doing so, it offers not only a powerful conceptual lens but also a methodological foundation for studying care trajectories in ways that are sensitive to the relational intricacies and dynamic configurations of care work. The complexity of care systems is increasingly acknowledged, but they are difficult to study systematically. This book provides both the empirical grounding and the theoretical tools needed to do so - making it an essential resource for a wide readership of researchers, medical sociologists, service managers, improvement scientists, and healthcare professionals with an interest in health services management, quality improvement, person-centred care, care planning and interprofessional education.
