Studying interactional organisation in remote group clinics
Since the COVID-19 pandemic there has been increased emphasis on remote provision of healthcare, including innovative models such as remote group clinics. These video or hybrid clinics combine clinical review, peer discussion and education, with (most) patients joining collectively via videoconferencing rather than in individual consultations. This study uses linguistic ethnography to examine how interaction is organised within remote group clini…
Choosing wisely? A frame analysis of the evolution and adoption of shared decision making in the UK
Shared decision making is an ethical way to engage patients in treatment decisions. • Shared decision making is both means (to a wise choice) and end (choosing wisely). • Shared decision making has been shaped by changing social norms. • The immediate clinical context can impede the process of shared decision making. • Shared decision making can be skewed by health system priorities
Clinical context and communication in shared decision-making about major surgery
Increasing numbers of older people undergo major surgery in the United Kingdom (UK), with many at high risk of complications due to age, co-morbidities or frailty. This article reports on a study of such patients and their clinicians engaged in shared decision-making. Shared decision-making is a collaborative approach that seeks to value and centre patients' preferences, potentially addressing asymmetries of knowledge and power between clinicians…
Using Linguistic Ethnography to Study Video Consultations
Video consultations are a rapidly growing service model, particularly in secondary care. Studies, mainly using trials and post-hoc surveys, have routinely documented that they can be a safe and effective means to deliver care at a distance. While video offers new opportunities to provide health services, it also constrains how patients and clinicians can interact, raising questions about feasibility, quality, and safety-questions that cannot be a…
Why doesn't integrated care work? Using Strong Structuration Theory to explain the limitations of an English case
Integrated care is an aim and a method for organising health and care services, particularly for older people and those with chronic conditions. Policy expects that integrated care programmes will provide person-centred coordinated care which will improve patient or client experience, enable population health, prevent hospital admissions and thereby reduce costs. However, empirical evaluations of integrated care interventions have shown disappoin…
Interrogating the promise of technology in epilepsy care
Technology development is gathering pace in epilepsy with seizure detection devices promising to transform self‐care and service provision. However, such accounts often neglect the uncertainties, displacements and responsibilities that technology‐supported care generates. This review brings together a heterogeneous literature, identified through systematic searches in 8 databases and snowball searching, to interrogate how technology becomes posit…
Whose turn is it anyway? Latency and the organization of turn-taking in video-mediated interaction
Latency in video-mediated interaction can frustrate smooth turn-taking: it may cause participants to perceive silence at points where talk should occur, it may cause them to talk in overlap, and it impedes their ability to return to one-speaker-at-a-time. Whilst potentially frustrating for participants, this makes video-mediated interaction a perspicuous setting for the study of social interaction: it is an environment that nurtures the occurrenc…
Care organising technologies and the post-phenomenology of care
Care organising technologies are software applications that are intended primarily for informal carers, to help organise, document and coordinate caring work. These may be purchased privately or provided as part of state support. Take-up to date remains low. Based on empirical case studies of three such technologies and drawing on post-phenomenology and political science, we examined people's experience of caring when caring technologies find a w…
Thinking about think tanks in health care
Little sociological attention has been given to the role of think tanks in health policy and planning. Existing work in political science and public administration tends to define and categorise think tanks and situate them as a disinterested source of policy expertise. Despite the increasingly visible presence of think tanks in the world of health care, such work has done little to reveal how they operate, by whom and to what ends. Our article s…
Reaching the parts that other theories and methods can't reach
This article illustrates how conceptualizing policy-as-discourse offers opportunities for those with a vested interest in policy to 'reach the parts that other theories and methods can't reach'. First, it explores the dialogical relationship between theory and method in the context of policy analysis, summarizing contemporary writing on conceptualizing and analysing policy and drawing on the work of Bacchi to describe the theoretical underpinning…
