Description

Modern healthcare operates through multiple interconnected systems and perspectives rather than singular hierarchies, combining medicine, education, science, law, religion, and politics in complex arrangements. This innovative volume from Routledge explores how polycontexturality functions within healthcare using systems theory, particularly drawing on Luhmann's theory of social systems as communicative systems. The contributors examine how different rationalities and observations coexist and interact across contemporary healthcare organisations, offering fresh insights into the sociological dimensions of medical practice and health systems. This work is essential for scholars, researchers, and students in sociology, healthcare studies, and organisational theory seeking to understand the multifaceted nature of modern healthcare through a systems perspective.

Key Features

Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Health and Illness series provides rigorous academic analysis of healthcare systems and social dimensions.

Systems theory approach examines how multiple perspectives from medicine, education, science, law, and politics integrate within healthcare organisations.

Luhmann's social systems theory framework offers sophisticated analysis of healthcare as communicative systems rather than hierarchical structures.

Addresses polycontexturality in healthcare, exploring how different rationalities coexist and function simultaneously across medical institutions.

Essential resource for sociology students, healthcare researchers, and organisational theorists studying contemporary health systems.
