TL;DR: It is argued that the national commitment to high quality of care necessitates reforms far beyond those usually envisioned in current planning and legislation, and that major reforms in medical organization are required, otherwise the current great inequities in the distribution of medical care will continue.

TL;DR: In this paper, a number of theoretical memos written by researchers during their various studies are reproduced, and it is necessary to at least scan the earlier discussion in Chapter 1 about memos and their indispensable functions in discovering, developing, and formulating a grounded theory.
Abstract: In this chapter, a number of theoretical memos written by researchers during their various studies are reproduced. Before reading and studying them, it is requisite to at least scan the earlier discussion in Chapter 1 about memos and their indispensable functions in discovering, developing, and formulating a grounded theory. In the previous chapter on the student seminars as well in later chapters, one can frequently sense the hovering presence of memos which arise out of codes and ideas generated in seminar, consultation, and team sessions. In fact, one explicit rule of thumb is that such sessions must soon be followed by a jotting down or typing out of the summary or the thoughts stimulated, just as individual researchers need to interrupt their data collecting and coding to write memos. Furthermore, recollect that waiting for the muse to appear is not the model here. Although there are periods of intense memo writing, grounded theorists are trained to write memos regularly – often from the first days of a research project – and in close conjunction with the data collecting and coding. (See discussion of the triad, Chapter 1. See also Glaser 1978, pp. 83–92.) The initial memos tend to look a little like those written by novices at this general style of memo writing: at first, a high proportion of them may be operational (what data to collect, where to go to do this), or reminder notes (don't forget to …, or don't forget this point), or scattered “bright ideas,” or fumbling around with a flood of undifferentiated products of coding, or just thinking aloud on paper for purposes of stimulation in order to see where that thinking will lead, and so on.

TL;DR: The labor and delivery ward and the intensive care nursery are used in the service of illuminating the complexities and patterns stemming from medical technology, but also to find explanatory patterns.
Abstract: This paper is about the complexities of understanding the medical technology scene. A variety of attacks and defences on and of this scene — largely simplistic and encapsulated in catchwords and phrases like 'dehumanization,' 'rising hospital costs,' 'quality of life' - have gained currency. There is a need to recognize the complexities stemming from medical technology, but also to find explanatory patterns. This paper uses the labor and delivery ward and the intensive care nursery (ICN) in the service of illuminating these complexities and patterns. An essential feature of medical-nursi ng work is that it is work on and with humans. Staff focus is on doing something about the course of ill- ness, but in so doing, staff have to deal with the patient as a human being who responds, has a hfe/biography, a family, etc. Bearing on the work are various structural conditions: staff have their own personal and work biographies, and in a real sense so does the hospital, the medical-specialization, the ward itself, the machines within that ward — all of these elements have histories and futures. Also affecting staff work are extemal conditions: the medical-machinery industry, con- sumer movements, etc.

TL;DR: Thematic analysis is a poorly demarcated, rarely acknowledged, yet widely used qualitative analytic method within psychology as mentioned in this paper, and it offers an accessible and theoretically flexible approach to analysing qualitative data.
Abstract: Thematic analysis is a poorly demarcated, rarely acknowledged, yet widely used qualitative analytic method within psychology. In this paper, we argue that it offers an accessible and theoretically flexible approach to analysing qualitative data. We outline what thematic analysis is, locating it in relation to other qualitative analytic methods that search for themes or patterns, and in relation to different epistemological and ontological positions. We then provide clear guidelines to those wanting to start thematic analysis, or conduct it in a more deliberate and rigorous way, and consider potential pitfalls in conducting thematic analysis. Finally, we outline the disadvantages and advantages of thematic analysis. We conclude by advocating thematic analysis as a useful and flexible method for qualitative research in and beyond psychology.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the process of inducting theory using case studies from specifying the research questions to reaching closure, which is a process similar to hypothesis-testing research.
Abstract: Building Theories From Case Study Research - This paper describes the process of inducting theory using case studies from specifying the research questions to reaching closure. Some features of the process, such as problem definition and construct validation, are similar to hypothesis-testing research. Others, such as within-case analysis and replication logic, are unique to the inductive, case-oriented process. Overall, the process described here is highly iterative and tightly linked to data. This research approach is especially appropriate in new topic areas. The resultant theory is often novel, testable, and empirically valid. Finally, framebreaking insights, the tests of good theory (e.g., parsimony, logical coherence), and convincing grounding in the evidence are the key criteria for evaluating this type of research.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define a leadership event as a perceived segment of action whose meaning is created by the interactions of actors involved in producing it, and present a set of innovative methods for capturing and analyzing these contextually driven processes.
Abstract: �Traditional, hierarchical views of leadership are less and less useful given the complexities of our modern world. Leadership theory must transition to new perspectives that account for the complex adaptive needs of organizations. In this paper, we propose that leadership (as opposed to leaders) can be seen as a complex dynamic process that emerges in the interactive “spaces between” people and ideas. That is, leadership is a dynamic that transcends the capabilities of individuals alone; it is the product of interaction, tension, and exchange rules governing changes in perceptions and understanding. We label this a dynamic of adaptive leadership, and we show how this dynamic provides important insights about the nature of leadership and its outcomes in organizational fields. We define a leadership event as a perceived segment of action whose meaning is created by the interactions of actors involved in producing it, and we present a set of innovative methods for capturing and analyzing these contextually driven processes. We provide theoretical and practical implications of these ideas for organizational behavior and organization and management theory.
