Theodore Dwight Woolsey
No full textOverall three-quarter view showing klismos-style chair; During his long tenure as president of Yale from 1846 to 1871, Theodore Dwight Woolsey (1801-1889; B.A. 1820, M.A. 1823) oversaw the creation of the Yale School of the Fine Arts and hired John Ferguson Weir as its first director in 1869. On its low pedestal in the middle of Old Campus, Weir’s massive bronze statue of Woolsey has a forceful presence, serving as both a memorial and a symbol of learning and wisdom. The sculptor emphasized Woolsey’s academic career as a former professor of Greek by seating him on a Greek Revival klismos chair wearing heavy classicized robes; the Greek inscription on the back of the chair reads “the most excellent, the most wise, the most just.” Source: Yale University [website]; http://www.yale.edu/ (accessed 8/3/2015

Shaping up to improve health: the strategic leadership role of the new Health Authority
No full textThe latest return to service planning in the NHS, while harnessing the perceived benefits of previous market approaches, nevertheless signals a radical change in the long-term role of the Health Authority. It is timely to examine the actual objectives of Health Authorities in view of their envisaged strategic leadership role. The emphasis on improving health and ironing out unacceptable local inequalities places the ‘quality’ agenda at the forefront of Health Authority policies. Notwithstanding the role of Regional Offices, Health Authorities will in effect become the overseer of clinical governance arrangements, including the implementation of a more evidencebased approach to service delivery and organisation. The new all-inclusive Health Improvement Programmes represent the raison d’Ltre of the Health Authority of the future. It is argued that insufficient attention has been paid to the legal framework required to support prioritisation decisions for which Health Authorities and PCGs will be held accountable. Available case law suggests that the extent to which central guidance has been followed will be critical in reviewing commissioning decisions. Given the trend towards National Service Frameworks and the development of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, the question arises of what incentives exist for Health Authorities to pursue the evidence-based approach to its natural conclusion (i.e. as one means of rationing scarce resources). Perhaps the key objective of commissioners will in fact be to avoid adverse publicity in the face of increasingly complex (and open) rationing decisions. In addition, the implication that national guidelines on clinical and cost-effectiveness will have to be adhered to sits somewhat uneasily with recent government assurances regarding clinical freedom and professional self-regulation. Attention is given to equity considerations, the difficulty of identifying common objectives and maintaining productive relationships across organisations, and barriers to changing clinical practice. Conflicting incentives are likely in applying different dimensions of the National Performance Assessment Framework, making the Health Authority’s long-term role (regulator of resource use, quality and service configuration?) a particularly difficult balancing act in ensuring administrative, clinical and political accountability in health care.Health Authorities

Focus Area One: Coordinating Services between Schools and Agencies [Ferguson]
No full textCoordination of services between schools and human service agencies has long been an area in need of attention. Current coordination of services is often related to a specific project or case rather than being an ongoing strategy. B.A. lntragator noted that interorganizational relationships may be interchangeable called collaboratives, cooperatives, coalitions, and consortia. These relationships may occur when two or more independent organizations agree to pool their authority, resources, and energies to achieve a desired goal or goals. The terms coordination and collaboration will be used in this paper as synonyms.
Collaborative relations are the wave of the future. Undergraduate schools need to train their students for these relationships
