Social Capital in Healthcare will describe a new and powerful framework for approaching the work of improving healthcare. The book argues that managers should approach the work of building trust, teamwork, and high reliability with the same intensity and discipline as CFOs use when managing the finances of their organizations. This framework is powerful because it integrates management priorities such as safety, quality, patient experience, workforce resilience/burnout/loyalty. Taken individually, these different focuses can induce panic or overwhelm. But data from the author's work demonstrate that these "siloes" are in fact intertwined, and the work of improving them is best taken on with a single focus - improving social capital. Drawing upon deeply respected work from sociology, psychology, and business strategy (including his own extensive work with Harvard Business School icon Michael E. Porter), this book lays out a clear set of steps to be taken and skills to be mastered in order to become the equivalent of CFO for social capital.

The intersection of architecture and the machine has a history that stretches back to the Industrial Revolution, however the machine has recently begun to appear in new ways in speculative architectural drawing and modelling. This issue of AD considers the influence of the machine as an allegorical device for exploring alternative architectural practices, and includes a cross-section of viewpoints from emerging and established international practitioners and academics. Allegory, a technique native to literature, provides a critical method through which machine typologies can contribute to deeper architectural narratives, offering new lenses for challenging or reassembling conventional modes of thought. An allegorical architectural project can unveil a story that enhances our awareness of something important. This AD reveals how engagement with the machine as an allegorical device in architectural discourse provides an avenue for architecture to provoke new ideas in response to current environmental, political, economic, cultural and social issues. At the forefront of this discussion, it extends the criticality of the topic within the broader spectrum of history, theory, philosophy, allegory and new technologies. Contributors: Daniela Atencio and Claudio Rossi, Peter Baldwin, Brian Cantley, Kirill Chelushkin, Giuliano Fiorenzoli, Marissa Lindquist, Bea Martin, Derek Hales, Wes Jones, Brian M Kelly, Tom Kundig, and Caleb White Featured architects and designers: Jones, Partners: Architecture, Olson Kundig, Adolfo Luis Moure Strangis, and Liam Young.
