Creating learning environments.

Abstract

The Healthcare Forum Journal has compiled this compendium to serve as a resource in building learning organizations. Our aim is to help healthcare organizations, policymakers, and others (payers, providers, patients, physicians, and citizens) rethink the system of healthcare delivery by opening up a dialogue--the ideas presented in Sandra Seagal's interview, ¿The Pillars of Learning¿, provide the groundwork for understanding how human dynamics impact learning, and the further resources section offers readers an annotated bibliography on the subject, as well as a listing of organizations that focus on systems thinking and how to create organizations that continually learn.

Technological risk, participation and deliberation. Some results from three Italian case studies.

Participation is a major issue in environmental research and policy. Public Risk Perception and European Environmental Policy (PRISP), a cross-national inquiry on people's orientations about chemical risks, offered the opportunity to investigate some aspects. In two Italian case studies, interest was focused on the relation between experts and lay people and the function of participation. A key objective was to explore people's opinions about deliberative democracy. This is a currently much-debated alternative to the prevailing 'strategic' forms of democracy, based on the aggregation of preferences or bargaining among conflicting interests. Is there a role for an open confrontation aimed at reaching the common good? Results show that public interest is highly rated, participation is mainly connected to citizenship and understood as a form of co-operation. In a third case study, interest was focused on the analysis of a specific form of collective action according to the 'Critical Mass' rational choice model. In this case, it is argued that a small group of citizens may reduce the costs of starting-up a collective action aimed at pursuing the preferred social goals, i.e. at governing public goods.
