    Author: Paton K, Sengupta S, Hassan L.
    Journal: Health Promot Int; 2005 Mar; 20(1):81-9. PubMed ID: 15681590.
    Abstract:
    This paper highlights the importance of understanding management theories to development of the settings approach to health promotion. It then provides an overview of two areas of especial pertinence: organization development and systems thinking. This is followed by the articulation of the Healthy Living and Working Model, which is proposed as a mechanism for applying the principles of the settings approach in practice within organizations. The paper concludes by pointing to future challenges in developing this Model and reiterating that facilitating improvement at the organizational level should be the defining characteristic of the settings approach to health promotion.
