Good health care: patient and professional perspectives. (1/4815)

Many health needs assessment exercises are professionally led, employing complex epidemiological methods. An alternative method that gives valuable information about patient preferences is a forced-choice questionnaire, which this study used in five practices in the West of Scotland. In each practice, patient-centred care was the most highly valued attribute of service provision.  (+info)

The use of targets to improve the performance of health care providers: a discussion of government policy. (2/4815)

The aim of this discussion paper is to examine the advantages and drawbacks of employing targets, or performance indicators, to improve the performance of those delivering health care services. The paper is based on an examination of two target-setting policies initiated by Government: the 1992 Health of the Nation strategy and the 1990 General Practitioners' Contract. It is argued that the introduction of both the General Practitioners' Contract and the Health of the Nation have indeed been accompanied by improvements in performance, however, there are a number of problems with targets. They tend to focus on those things that are most easily measured, and they may foster complacency on the part of providers who have already achieved upper target limits, and defensiveness on the part of those performing badly. National targets may skew local priorities; they may also be unrealistic and unattainable for particular, less privileged population groups. They may serve to widen inequalities in health, and can exacerbate the 'inverse care law' by encouraging providers to direct their efforts at the more advantaged sections of society, where such efforts are more likely to pay off in terms of overall improvements in the target level achieved. Finally, the achievement of some targets will not necessarily result in better health outcomes. The paper concludes that a target-setting approach to improving the quality of care must be based on the use of appropriate indicators, and must take account of differences between more and less advantaged sections of society.  (+info)

Rider injury rates and emergency medical services at equestrian events. (3/4815)

BACKGROUND: Horse riding is a hazardous pastime, with a number of studies documenting high rates of injury and death among horse riders in general. This study focuses on the injury experience of cross country event riders, a high risk subset of horse riders. METHOD: Injury data were collected at a series of 35 equestrian events in South Australia from 1990 to 1998. RESULTS: Injury rates were found to be especially high among event riders, with frequent falls, injuries, and even deaths. The highest injury rates were among the riders competing at the highest levels. CONCLUSION: There is a need for skilled emergency medical services at equestrian events.  (+info)

Patterns of care and survival for adolescents and young adults with acute leukaemia--a population-based study. (4/4815)

We report a population-based study of patterns of care and survival for people with acute leukaemia diagnosed at age 15-29 years during 1984-94 in regions of England and Wales covered by specialist leukaemia registries. There were 879 patients: 417 with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and 462 with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). For ALL, actuarial survival rates were 43% at 5 years after diagnosis and 37% at 10 years. Survival improved significantly between 1984-88 and 1989-94 for those aged 15-19 at diagnosis. Patients entered in national clinical trials and those not entered had similar survival rates. Survival rates were similar at teaching and non-teaching hospitals and at hospitals treating different numbers of study patients per year. For AML, survival rates were 42% at 5 years after diagnosis and 39% at 10 years. Survival improved significantly between 1984-88 and 1989-94. Patients entered in the Medical Research Council AML10 trial had a higher survival rate than those who were in the earlier AML9 trial. Survival did not vary with category of hospital. We conclude that survival has improved for adolescents and young adults with acute leukaemia but that there is at present no evidence that centralized treatment results in a survival benefit for patients in this age group.  (+info)

Where do people go for treatment of sexually transmitted diseases? (5/4815)

CONTEXT: Major public health resources are devoted to the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) through public STD clinics. However, little is known about where people actually receive treatment for STDs. METHODS: As part of the National Health and Social Life Survey, household interviews were performed from February to September 1992 with 3,432 persons aged 18-59. Weighted population estimates and multinomial response methods were used to describe the prevalence of self-reported STDs and patterns of treatment utilization by persons who ever had a bacterial or viral STD. RESULTS: An estimated two million STDs were self-reported in the previous year, and 22 million 18-59-year-olds self-reported lifetime STDs. Bacterial STDs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, nongonococcal urethritis, pelvic inflammatory disease and syphilis) were more common than viral STDs (genital herpes, genital warts, hepatitis and HIV). Genital warts were the most commonly reported STD in the past year, while gonorrhea was the most common ever-reported STD. Almost half of all respondents who had ever had an STD had gone to a private practice for treatment (49%); in comparison, only 5% of respondents had sought treatment at an STD clinic. Respondents with a bacterial STD were seven times more likely to report going to an STD clinic than were respondents with a viral STD--except for chlamydia, which was more likely to be treated at family planning clinics. Men were significantly more likely than women to go to an STD clinic. Young, poor or black respondents were all more likely to use a family planning clinic for STD treatment than older, relatively wealthy or white respondents. Age, sexual history and geographic location did not predict particular types of treatment-seeking. CONCLUSIONS: The health care utilization patterns for STD treatment in the United States are complex. Specific disease diagnosis, gender, race and income status all affect where people will seek treatment. These factors need to be taken into account when STD prevention strategies are being developed.  (+info)

The just provision of health care: a reply to Elizabeth Telfer. (6/4815)

Dr Hillel Steiner in this reply to Elizabeth Telfer takes each of her arguments for different arrangements of a health service and examines them--'four positions which can be located on a linear ideological spectrum'--and adds a fifth which could have the effect of 'turning the alleged linear spectrum into a circle'. Underlying both Elizabeth Telfer's article and Dr Steiner's reply, the base is inescapably a 'political' one, but cannot be abandoned in favour of purely philosophical concepts. Whatever the attitude of mind of the reader of these two papers to the provision of a health service, the stimulus to more careful assessments of our own National Health Service and its problems can only be good.  (+info)

The present state and future prospects of occupational health in Bangladesh. (7/4815)

Bangladesh is a relatively young and developing country. At the present time, like in most developing countries, a clear demarcation between occupational health care and general medical care is difficult to be recognized in Bangladesh. Occupational health is a fairly new field, as the country is undergoing industrialization and occupational health activities are operated by several ministries, such as Labour, Health, Industry and Transport. Legal foundations of the occupational health-care system based on British India and Pakistani era, were adopted and amended by the Government of Bangladesh after the liberation of the country in 1971. Most of the Labour laws have been rectified by the Government of Bangladesh according to the ILO Conventions. Reconsideration of the occupational health service system avoiding duplication for the 'occupational health' component in several ministries might be helpful to achieve the successful provision of an occupational health service in the developing Bangladesh.  (+info)

http://www.reportsnreports.com/reports/422579-global-it-spending-in-remote-healthcare-delivery-market-2015-2019.html. According to the Global IT Spending in Remote Healthcare Delivery Market 2015 - 2019 report, there is a shortage of physicians and doctor across the globe. Rural populations have limited access to healthcare, and healthcare professionals often opt to work in urban rather than rural ones. However, telehealth and mHealth are the two emerging healthcare delivery solutions that can mitigate the effects of the low physician-to-patient ratio in remote areas, which will contribute to their high adoption rate during the forecast period.. Further, the report states that many healthcare providers in developing economies have adopted telehealth strategies, but these pilot projects have failed due to poor network connectivity, unreliable equipment, and lack of bandwidth availability.. The following companies are the key players in the Global IT Spending in Remote Healthcare Delivery Market: ...

Health Systems underpinning philosophy is that health and healthcare systems are characterized by complexity and interconnectedness, where "everything affects everything else". Thus, problems in healthcare need to be viewed holistically as an integrated system of multiple components (people, organizations, technology and resources) and perspectives. The journal sees the systems approach to be widely applicable to all areas of health and healthcare delivery, including public health, hospitals, primary care, telemedicine, disparities, and community health.. The principal aim of Health Systems is to bring together critical disciplines that have proved themselves already in health, and to leverage these contributions by providing a forum that brings together diverse viewpoints and research approaches (qualitative, quantitative, and conceptual). The journal welcomes innovative interdisciplinary work, as well as submissions from a wide range of disciplines and sub-disciplines including (but not ...

As the group of eight leading industrialised nations (G8) meets for its summit at Gleneagles, Scotland, next week Africa is at a crossroads. It faces a double edged crisis: its healthcare workforce is rapidly depleting, and its health systems are weak, fragile, and hanging on a precipice. A direct consequence of this is that the indicators for health development in the continent are dismal. About one in six African children die before their fifth birthday, with half of these dying from diseases preventable by vaccines; and one woman dies every two minutes from complications of pregnancy and delivery.1 From all such indications and current evidence, it would appear that very few countries in the continent will achieve the millennium development goals.2 The goal to reduce deaths among children aged under 5 (figure) is just one example. ...

A new survey indicates that small hospitals expect bigger hospitals to lead the drive toward a new health delivery model, where clinically integrated networks will provide care and insure the patients receiving it.. The survey, from the New York-based consultancy firm, Kurt Salmon, discovered that 77 percent of respondents see clinical integration initiatives occurring in their markets. Eighty-one percent of the community hospital executives surveyed said they believe clinically integrated networks will develop their own insurance product or develop one through collaboration with a payer.. The survey also revealed that most are under the belief that large health systems and hospitals will develop clinically integrated networks. Only 18.5 percent of respondents believed hospitals with under 300 beds could build one, while 61 percent see large regional health systems in their markets positioning themselves to own the entire integrated care continuum.

Tuberculosis (TB) is highly infectious and one of the leading killers globally. Several studies from sub-Saharan Africa highlight health systems challenges that affect ability to cope with existing disease burden, including TB, although most of these employ survey-type approaches. Consequently, few address community or patient perspectives and experiences. At the same time, understanding of the mechanisms by which the health systems challenges translate into seeking or avoidance of formal health care remains limited. This paper applies the notion of human agency to examine the ways people who have symptoms suggestive of TB respond to and deal with the symptoms vis-à-vis major challenges inherent within health delivery systems. Empirical data were drawn from a qualitative study exploring the ways in which notions of masculinity affect engagement with care, including mens well-documented tendency to delay in seeking care for TB symptoms. The study was carried out in three high-density locales of ...

We also do a little health plan work as well, but predominantly its the provider-based segment that we work in. It seems like most big health systems are playing around with digital health, innovation projects, and consumer-focused initiatives, to the point that theyre creating C-level positions to oversee them. Is this a fad or are health systems really changing the way they do business in response to changing demand? Its a combination of both. Were obviously seeing a shift in ...

The issues. In the world today, 400 million people lack access to essential care.. Although there has been undeniable progress in terms of global health, there are still huge areas of need, particularly in formulating a long-term solution to health concerns.. This is especially true in Africa, where health systems remain fragile because of a lack of financial resources, organisational issues and human resources. In this context, Solthis is working to develop a concrete, complete and permanent solution to public health needs.. Our strategy. For over 15 years, we have been developing our exper-tise using a systematic and multidisciplinary approach to work around the various components of health systems, as defined by the WHO, to create a global momentum across countries. This involves joint action both on the quality of the provision of healthcare services and on the promotion of health and community mobilisation. Solthis has chosen two areas of intervention in order to influence the offer of care ...

Health Care - Y U So Mad?Health Care - Y U So Mad?
Health care provision is one of the most important tasks in the modern world. Health care providers help pregnant women get access to prenatal care in order to make sure that any baby they have will be healthy. As a child grows, periodic health care checks are necessary in order for a child to be vaccinated on time and to make sure that any problems the child may have such as problems with their hearing and vision are confronted and corrected as soon as possible. Health care checks are also necessary as people grow up. Women will need to get health care tests done such as pap smears to check for cancers.. A health care company can someones best friend and help keep them as healthy as possible all throughout their lives. Many companies will make sure that their policy owners will have the kind of preventative medical care they need at each stage in life.

The concept of health system responsiveness is an important dimension of health system performance assessment. Further efforts have been made in recent years to improve the analysis of responsiveness measurements, yet few studies have applied the responsiveness concept to the evaluation of specific health care delivery structures. The objective of this study was to test the World Health Organizations (WHOs) responsiveness concept for an application in the evaluation of chronic disease care. In September and October 2012 we conducted four focus groups of chronically ill people (n = 38) in Germany, in which participants discussed their experiences and expectations regarding health care. The data was analyzed deductively (on the basis of the WHO responsiveness concept) and inductively using directed content analysis. Ten themes related to health system responsiveness and one theme (finances) not directly related to health system responsiveness, but of high importance to the focus group ...

Birds Eye View of How Population Health Management Helps an ACO | Healthcare Insights and KnowledgeBird's Eye View of How Population Health Management Helps an ACO | Healthcare Insights and Knowledge
Population Health Management is defined as the outcomes and distribution of healthcare within a specified group. These groups may be as large as a nation, or a particular community; they may be more exact by selecting persons with disabilities or financial difficulties. However, when a healthcare organization is providing services in a defined area, they want to know the types of services that are most needed, where are the best locations for hospitals and clinics to serve the most number of patients, and where specialty treatments physicians would most conveniently located.. The task of tracking down all this kind of information, creating a report that details the population that is being helped, and doing it in a timely manner is almost impossible. Educated guesses are still just based on making a decision without all the information in hand. This is where and why Population Health Management (PHM) software is crucial in changing decisions from guesses to fact-based and data-driven.. We all ...

Health care should be a right not a privilege. However, tens of millions of Americans go uninsured or are burdened by the high costs of health care, putting the health of our communities and our country at risk. Last years passage of Affordable Care Act ensures that every American has access to affordable, quality health care.

Dr. El-Sadr, who heads up one of the largest and longest-standing PEPFAR implementing programs, sought to dispel what she called myths about PEPFAR, including that "PEPFAR has contributed little to countries health systems." This view has gained considerable currency, as seen in the recent Center for Global Development report, which stated that programs like PEPFAR have done "little to address the long-term sustainability and capacity of the workforce to handle all health needs." Instead, Dr. El-Sadr stated that:. [A] major contribution has been in the realm of health workforce innovations. … ICAP programs have also supported new health worker cadres, from adherence counselors and outreach workers to advanced physician-assistant equivalents, such as the technicos in Mozambique-efforts aimed at addressing the severe shortage of health care workers. These models, systems, and investments position the health system to respond to other threats.. Dr. El-Sadr said PEPFARs contributions to other ...

education and prevention of diseases. ISLAMABAD: The Government of Pakistan intends to introduce Medical Institutions Act in Pakistan and since health is a provincial subject, it has taken initiatives to introduce and enforce it in the Province of Khyber PK and more recently a bill has also been presented in the Provincial Assembly of Punjab where the MTI Act has been referred to a select committee. There are lot of fears and resentment against this move among the healthcare professionals who are resisting it. The MTI has lot of good points but it needs to be introduced in a phased programme and after taking all the stake holders into confidence. The authorities will be well advised to immediately start holding negotiations and in depth discussions with all those who matter and are likely to be affected and refrain from pushing it through harsh measures. They must remember anything which is good for America cannot be transplanted into Pakistan without taking into account the ground realities. ...

This volume succeeds in its aim of providing practical, readily accessible, information about the diagnosis and management of bronchial asthma for those without a specialist interest in the area. However, this format means that the volume is not designed to be read from cover to cover, and even within single chapters, there is a great deal of repetition. This format does allow for the inclusion of a great deal of detailed information which may be of interest to individual clinicians, or perhaps relevant to the management of specific patients, but not necessarily of interest to the general reader. Much of the information (for example epidemiology, drug information, health delivery issues and the management of asthma in minorities) is directed to the North American audience, and has less relevance to clinicians elsewhere. Overall, this is a very useful resource text, and should be included in all institutional libraries. The ease of access to detailed information will make it an attractive ...

Preparing for future jobs in healthcare - Express HealthcarePreparing for future jobs in healthcare - Express Healthcare
Amol Naikawadi, Joint - Managing Director, Indus Health Plus speaks about how healthcare organisations will need to change their HR practices in these changing times. The healthcare job market is currently undergoing an immense transformation and would continue to do so in the near future. To curb the increasing burden of NCDs, and to change the direction of healthcare from curative to preventive, the government is bringing in new schemes in health and wellness, which in turn is increasing hiring in all verticals across healthcare and wellness. The demand for professionals will especially increase in the Tier 2 & 3 cities as well as non-corporate hospitals.. As the government is investing and sponsoring wellness and healthcare delivery across all verticals, from diagnostics to treatment, a lot of non-medico jobs will also increase. Earlier, only medicos and paramedics were considered to be a part of healthcare. The trend has already started moving on a new curve, where the different support ...

Comparative Analysis of Health SystemsComparative Analysis of Health Systems
We tend to be ethnocentric in our views of health care organization and policy. A look abroad, however, can provide insights about problems at home. In spite of differences in the organization and financing of their health care systems, most countries share a number of common problems with the United States. First, is the question of deciding - or not explicitly deciding - what proportion of GNP should be devoted to health and welfare. Second, is the problem of agreeing on appropriate criteria to allocate health and social service expenditures.
