It's the First Barrier” – Lack of Common Language a Major Obstacle When Accessing/Providing Healthcare Services Across Europe
International migration is shaping and changing urban areas as well as impacting on healthcare access and provision in Europe. To investigate how residents of superdiverse neighborhoods put together their healthcare, we conducted qualitative interviews with 76 healthcare providers and 160 residents in four European cities - Bremen, Germany; Birmingham, UK; Lisbon, Portugal and Uppsala, Sweden, between September 2015 and April 2017. A common theme…
After encounters: Revealing patients’ unseen work through their pathways to care
Purpose Research has long focused on the notion of access and the trajectory towards a healthcare encounter but has neglected what happens to patients after these initial encounters. This paper focuses attention on what happens after an initial healthcare encounter leading to a more nuanced understanding of how patients from a diverse range of backgrounds make sense of medical advice, how they mix this knowledge with other forms of information an…

Health providers as bricoleurs: An examination of the adaption of health ecosystems to superdiversity in Europe
This article examines the ways in which healthcare providers from a mixed economy of welfare operating in superdiverse neighbourhoods connect and innovate across the healthcare ecosystem to meet diverse and complex needs. Moving beyond a health systems approach which siloes different types of provision, we use the concept of bricolage to make visible the work undertaken by providers across the ecosystem. While we show that public, private and civ…
Individuals on alert: Digital epidemiology and the individualization of surveillance
This article examines how digital epidemiology and eHealth coalesce into a powerful health surveillance system that fundamentally changes present notions of body and health. In the age of Big Data and Quantified Self, the conceptual and practical distinctions between individual and population body, personal and public health, surveillance and health care are diminishing. Expanding on Armstrong's concept of "surveillance medicine" to "quantified s…

Patientenautonomie und Entscheider-Subjekt: Von den Aufklärungspflichten des Arztes zu den Informationsund Entscheidungspflichten des Patienten
Since the end of the 20th century, patient autonomy does not only aim at protecting patients’ personal rights, but also to promote their active cooperation in the health system. In Germany, the legal development of patient autonomy goes hand in hand with the concerted establishment of patient counseling and training designed to produce „informed decision makers“. This article examines the practice of patient autonomy and its corresponding subject…
Responsibilisierende Entscheidungen. Strategien und Paradoxien des sozialen Umgangs mit probabilistischen Risiken am Beispiel der Medizin
Critique de la pensée du risque
Le développement de la médecine prédictive, qui peut définir des risques potentiels pour chacun, change profondément notre rapport à la santé. Faut-il apprendre à vivre avec ces risques abstraits ou repenser un autre rapport à notre futur et à notre santé
Genetic Counseling and the Fiction of Choice: Taught Self-Determination as a New Technique of Social Engineering
In the twentieth century self‐determination was a main goal for women activists struggling against co‐optation of female fertility by the state. Today, educational and counseling services in medicine impose “autonomous decisions” upon patients. Taking the example of prenatal genetic counseling, this article argues that professionally taught self‐determination creates various paradoxes: First, it is service dependent. The act of deciding is identi…
The unleashing of genetic terminology: How genetic counselling mobilizes for risk management
Nowadays every encounter with a health expert holds the danger of contracting risks. Especially women, when a family member develops breast cancer or when diagnosed as pregnant, leave their medical appointments saddled with doctor-attested risks, alleged prognoses, which then hang over their lives like a Damoclean sword. The epidemic beweilderment caused by the confusion between the attribution of a risk profile and a diagnosis has so far evaded …
