Evidence for health promotion in hospitals

Tønnesen, Hanne LU ; Fugleholm, Anne Mette and Jørgensen, Svend Juul (2005) p.21-45
Abstract (Swedish)
More than a decade ago the WHO Health Promoting Hospitals project
was initiated in order to support hospitals towards placing greater
emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention, rather than on
diagnostic and curative services alone. Twenty hospitals in eleven
European countries participated in the European pilot project from 1993
to 1997. Since then, the International Network of Health Promoting
Hospitals has steadily expanded and now covers 25 Member States, 36
national or regional networks and more than 700 partner hospitals.

More than a decade ago the WHO Health Promoting Hospitals project
was initiated in order to support hospitals towards placing greater
emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention, rather than on
diagnostic and curative services alone. Twenty hospitals in eleven
European countries participated in the European pilot project from 1993
to 1997. Since then, the International Network of Health Promoting
Hospitals has steadily expanded and now covers 25 Member States, 36
national or regional networks and more than 700 partner hospitals.
But, what has been achieved with regard to the implementation of health
promotion services at both hospital and network level? Is there an
evidence base for health promotion and has this facilitated the expansion
of health promotion services in hospitals? And how can we evaluate the
quality of health promotion activities in hospitals?
This volume addresses some of these key issues in health
promotion evaluation and quality management and is intended to
help health professionals and managers to assess and implement
health promotion activities in hospitals. (Less)
