“…These include improved patient long-term physical and mental health (Shortell et al, 2000), greater innovativeness (Hodges & Hernandez, 1999), more flexibility in providing services, and more integrated provision of mental health services care (Birelson, 1998;Chalifoux et al, 1996;Katon et al, 1999;Mechanic, 1996Mechanic, , 1998. Our research also suggests that where the goals of the providers were congruent, collaboration went more smoothly.…”

This paper considers the problems of interagency and interprofessional collaboration in community care in Great Britain from the combined perspectives of UK and US researchers. The research team drew on empirical and theoretical literature from both countries to construct a framework for analysing inter- and intra-organisational theories of joint working. This analysis, supplemented and supported by local case studies conducted by the researchers, generates a framework recommendation against which the government's initiatives for partnership working in the NHS plan 2000 and subsequently can be critically reviewed. In particular, at a time when structural integration--via Care Trusts--is being seriously considered, they highlight the vital importance of integrated systems of goal setting, authority and multidisciplinary service delivery rather than a narrow focus on structural integration alone.

The health sector contains many problems that are widely recognised and ought to be easily resolved, and yet some organisations seem to be powerless to act. We argue that this mainly reflects weaknesses in the organisational culture, and present an approach that we have been using to address them. We describe some simple analytical tools, and report our experiences in using them in organisations in several countries. We conclude that most people believe organisational weaknesses are important, are willing and eager to try to address them, and do in fact find ways of making some useful changes -at least, in the short term.

“…These strategies include individual learning, but also developing learning communities within a practice setting (Birleson, 1998;Senge, 1990). Preparing students for evidence-based practice and continual professional development presents particular challenges to social work educators.…”

Social work educators have a responsibility to facilitate student utilization of researchbased knowledge. Tremendous research based knowledge is generated at many schools, but due to multiple responsibilities, faculty often find it difficult to share their findings with fellow faculty outside of their immediate project team, or to inquire into the research efforts of their colleagues within the school. This paper describes the development, implementation and preliminary evaluation of Research to Teaching, an initiative to infuse the curriculum of a school of social work with current research findings from its faculty. The goal of the Research to Teaching initiative is to take current publications from faculty, and distill them into easy-to-use lecture materials including slides summarizing the content, teaching notes, discussion questions, and group activities such as skill practice, simulation, and other integrative activities. These lectures are placed on a site within the school's larger website, and are accessible to all faculty, students, alumni, and other interested individuals.
