本期《社会科学与医学》特刊探讨了组织研究 (OS) 与该杂志的两个传统学科基础：卫生政策和医学社会学之间积极的跨学科互动的潜力，即“生成舞蹈”。这是必要且及时的，因为组织已成为医学社会学和卫生政策分析中被忽视的话题。我们认为，OS、医学社会学和卫生政策之间需要进一步、更持续的理论和概念协同，一方面为分析当代卫生改革提供前沿且发人深省的基础，另一方面促进理论的发展和阐述。我们强调，医疗保健领域的社会学家和政策分析师一直是我们理解现代社会组织的主要贡献者，操作系统增强了我们对医疗环境的理解，组织仍然是我们这个时代最有影响力的参与者之一。作为讨论的起点，我们概述了操作系统的谱系及其在医疗保健环境中的应用。然后，我们考虑医学社会学和卫生政策如何与医疗保健环境研究中操作系统的关注点趋同或分歧。接下来，我们关注物质环境，特别是商学院的地位，它构建了操作系统、医学社会学和卫生政策之间的生成舞蹈。这为介绍构成社会科学与医学特刊的十三篇文章奠定了背景。 (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
This Special Issue of Social Science & Medicine investigates the potential for positive inter-disciplinary interaction, a 'generative dance', between organization studies (OS), and two of the journal's traditional disciplinary foundations: health policy and medical sociology. This is both necessary and timely because of the extent to which organizations have become a neglected topic within medical sociology and health policy analysis. We argue there is need for further and more sustained theoretical and conceptual synergy between OS, medical sociology and health policy, which provides, on the one-hand a cutting-edge and thought-provoking basis for the analysis of contemporary health reforms, and on the other hand, enables the development and elaboration of theory. We emphasize that sociologists and policy analysts in healthcare have been leading contributors to our understanding of organizations in modern society, that OS enhances our understanding of medical settings, and that organizations remain one of the most influential actors of our time. As a starting point to discussion, we outline the genealogy of OS and its application to healthcare settings. We then consider how medical sociology and health policy converge or diverge with the concerns of OS in the study of healthcare settings. Following this, we focus upon the material environment, specifically the position of business schools, which frames the generative dance between OS, medical sociology and health policy. This sets the context for introducing the thirteen articles that constitute the Special Issue of Social Science & Medicine. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
