AU Professor Co-Authors Book Chapter
12/8/2008
AURORA, Ill. — Christina Krause, resident of Elburn and associate professor of psychology at Aurora University, has co-authored a chapter of a book focused on examining types of integrated health programs and networks.
With two colleagues, Krause wrote the opening chapter for “Integrated Health Care Delivery,” a volume published this month by Nova Science Publishers.
Co-authors are Maria E.J. Kuhn, clinical behavioral director of Integrated Health Advocacy Program and Katja Kremer Wolfe, an AU graduate residing in Alaska.
The chapter by Krause and her colleagues is titled , “A Brief Description of the Limitations of the Current Health Care System in the United States, and a Program Response to the Complex Issues of Many Individuals who are Confronted with Multiple, Chronic Conditions.”
The chapter describes an innovative, theory-driven, multidisciplinary intervention program which was designed to address barriers and fragmentation issues in the current health care system, and to improve the healthcare and health of individuals who are dealing with multiple, chronic health conditions.
The book contains chapters by national and international researchers on integrated health programs and networks.
The editors of the book, Leonie Klein and Emily Newman, said, "The challenge of the future is to simultaneously promote integrated health care networks, clinical guidelines, patient empowerment, and change bottom-up, so as to ensure that the patients are not lost in a 'Bermuda Triangle' of a health care system."
