Outline

Subjectivation in Foucault’s work:

1. Modes of inquiry

2. Dividing practices / relations

3. Self-constitution

Subjectivation around healthcare innovation:

1. Measuring healthcare innovation

2. Electronic Health Record policy and relations in healthcare

3. Interaction with new technologies

Page 3: Subject of Innovation

Measuring healthcare innovation I

Two traditions of innovation studies• Mainstream economics: innovation as input to

increase productivity• Evolutionary economics: innovation as output

of a production process, commercialisation of new products

Measuring healthcare innovation II

Three reports• RVZ (2001). Technologische Innovatie in de

Zorgsector. 01/05. Zoetermeer: Raad voor de Volksgezondheid en Zorg.

Measuring healthcare innovation III

Three measures of productivity • Diagnosis Treatment Combinations (DBC)• “Function-oriented description”• Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY)

Page 6: Subject of Innovation

Measuring healthcare innovation IV

Healthcare innovation, productivity and the recipient of care

• “Principal subject”• “Production subject”

02“Principal subject”, “Production subject”

Page 7: Subject of Innovation

Electronic Health Record policy and relations in healthcare I

Reciprocity in neoliberalism• Abandoning social contract theory• “Subject of interest” replaces “Subject of

right”• Reciprocity between individuals, populations

and government by “spontaneous synthesis”• Government manufactures freedom: strategic

programming of “entrepreneurs of the self”

02“Principal subject”, “Production subject”

Page 8: Subject of Innovation

Electronic Health Record policy and relations in healthcare II

Reciprocity in Electronic Health Record Policy• The “principal subject” as partial solution for

collective problems EHR prohibits medical mistakes (“production subject”)

• Individual data for collective measurements, collective data for norms for individuals

“Subject of reciprocity”?

02“Principal subject”, “Production subject”

03“Principal subject”, “Production subject”, “Subject of reciprocity”

Page 9: Subject of Innovation

Electronic Health Record policy and relations in healthcare III

Resistance? • Optional opt-out• No information about

collective goals in the information package

03“Principal subject”, “Production subject”, “Subject of reciprocity”

Page 10: Subject of Innovation

Electronic Health Record policy and relations in healthcare IV

“Immoderate” expectations• Secondary use possible?• Prohibiting medical mistakes possible?• Etc.

“Subject of immoderate expectations”?

Self-constitution in interaction with new technology I

Foucault on self-constitution• Ascetic practices: writing, reading, speaking,

listening• Institutionalisation and culture of self-

constitution• Community, mentoring and institutionalised

practices• Example of Zen

Self-constitution in interaction with new technology I

Self-constitution at the Weight Watchers• Forms of institutionalisation: Weight diaries,

group meetings, dieting mentors• Framework of dominant discourses:– Societal pressure to be slim and fit– Feminist pressure to not subjugate to societal

expectations

Page 19: Subject of Innovation

Self-constitution in interaction with new technology I

Technology-mediated self-constitutions• Diary keeping in Electronic Health Record “Self-constituted subject”?• Online chat rooms:– Critical reading and writing in online community,

resist medicine & geographical boundaries– Invaded by medical specialists, abuse of online

visibility

“Subject of compromised self-constitution”?
