>The European Pilot Project of Health Promoting Hospitals, initiated by
>WHO-Regional Office for Europe, took place from 1993 to 1997 in 20
>hospitals in 11 European countries (northern Europe as well as
>southern, west-ern, central and eastern Europe). The aim of the
>project was to start an international development approach by
>implementing the concept of Health Promoting Hospitals in different
>types of hospitals (private and public, general and specialised, big
>and small) and in different European health care systems, and thus to
>develop a model fit to be put into practice in European hospitals
>on a wider basis.
>
>The now available review book presents the results of this
>internationally highly prestigious project in a very comprehensive
>way, by providing case studies of the participating hospitals, as
>well as a project analysis by the team of the co-ordinating centre of
>the project (located at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for the
>Sociology of Health and Medicine in Vienna, Austria).
> Jo E. Asvall (director of the WHO-Regional Office for Europe) wrote
>the preface of the book, and an introduction is provided by Mila
>Garcia Barbero, head of the hospital department at WHO-Europe and
>leader of the European Pilot Hospital Project on behalf of WHO.
>
>Moreover, the book contains
>· Practical examples for methods of project management and
>organisational development;
>· Theoretical approaches towards conceptual work in the health care
>sector; · Perspectives on the discussion and further development of
>health care systems in many European countries.
>
>Readers of the book will be provided with an insight into the
>experiences made by the pilot hospitals with the development of an
>overall project and with more than 150 subprojects in the four
>thematic areas of the Health Promoting Hospital (patient orientation,
>staff orientation, community orientation, developing a "healthy"
>hospital organisation) . Evaluation shows that the participating
>hospitals were able to achieve many improvements and innovations in
>such different thematic fields as nutritioin, smoking, diabetes,
>breast-feeding, hygiene and work safety, clinical waste,total quality
>management, psychosocial treatment of patients, and patients' rights
>(to name only a view).
>
>This publication provides innovative and practical insights and can
>be recommended to all decision makers in the fields of health care
>and public health, to hospital managers and project activists in
>health promotion, and to scientists and consultants in the health
>care sector.
