Is there a role of epidemiology in health policy formulation? - AHRI - American Health Research Institute
The core functions of public health stresses the importance of assessment in meeting the substance of public health, which are disease control and health promotions. The assessment component of the public health core function is achieved through the joint effort of epidemiology and biostatistics. Health policy ensures that public health services are provided for the populations in need of such services. The understanding of the populations in need depends on the magnitude of the health problems and the existing resources to address such problems. Therefore findings from epidemiologic studies should serve as the building blocks for health policy formulation and implementation. In the light of this, unless policy formulation builds on health research findings that utilized sound epidemiologic principles and methods in their designs and reality in their statistical modeling of the data, health issues will remain unaddressed appropriately in our nation. ...
An Obama-Gingrich-Ryan Ticket on Health Policy Reform - The Health Care Blog
Newt Gingrich has to be one of the most interesting figures in recent political history. His soul lives at the intersection of public policy, politics and history. Because he has been on so many sides of history and policy, political insiders greet his entry into the presidential primary campaign as Harold Stassen-ish. I am among them, having entered the Senate the same time Newt entered the House 30-plus years ago. I dont know Republican House Budget Committee chair Paul Ryan, but I admire his leadership talent and regret his decision not to run for the Senate from Wisconsin. It would raise the level of health policy discourse substantially in that august body.. Barack Obama is undoubtedly making presidential history. Given the many policy challenges he has had to take on since January 20, 2009, plus the one he chose to take on - health policy reform, aka PPACA, theres no question he is in a unique place in history today. But, it is the Republicans - the Party of No on Obamacare - that ...

Government policy and the probability of coordination failures
Downloadable (with restrictions)! This paper introduces an approach to the study of optimal government policy in economies characterized by a coordination problem and multiple equilibria. Such models are often criticized as not being useful for policy analysis because they fail to assign a unique prediction to each possible policy choice. We employ a selection mechanism that assigns, ex ante, a probability to each equilibrium indicating how likely it is to obtain. We show how such a mechanism can be derived as the natural result of an adaptive learning process. This approach leads to a well-defined optimal policy problem, and has important implications for the conduct of government policy. We illustrate these implications using a simple model of technology adoption under network externalities.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)

Objectives The aim of the present study was to document Australian policies on the physical health of people with mental illness and evaluate the capacity of policy to support health needs. Methods A search of state and federal policies on mental and physical illness was conducted, as well as detailed analysis of policy content and the relationships between policies, by applying the World Health Organization Mental Health Action Plan 2013-2020 as an evaluative framework. Results National policy attention to the physical health of people with mental illness has grown, but there is little interconnection at the national and state levels. State policies across the country are inconsistent, and there is little evidence of consistent policy implementation. Conclusions A coherent national health policy framework on addressing co-occurring physical and mental illnesses that includes healthcare system reforms and ensuring the interconnectedness of other relevant services should be prioritised. ...
Issue 14731: Enhance Policy framework in preparation for adding email6 policies as provisional - Python tracker
As discussed in my email to python-dev, Im planning to add the new header parsing to Python 3.3 as a provisional extension, by adding a (set) of policies that are clearly marked provisional in the documentation. In order for this to work, I first need to make certain enhancements to the Policy framework that I previously committed to default. When reviewing the patch, please start with the architecture.rst file in the Lib/email directory, which provides an overview of the changes and the plan. The primary changes are to add some new policy hooks that feedparser, message, and generator call. These hooks are then implemented on the renamed default policy (now called compat32) in such a way as to replicate the behavior of Python 3.2. The other significant change is that Message objects now have a policy. In order to accommodate this, this patch adds policy propagation logic. That is, if you pass a policy to feedparser, then all the Message objects it creates get that policy. And when you ...

In response to the election of Donald Trump to the United States presidency, Amnesty International released the following statements.. Salil Shetty, Secretary General of Amnesty International, said: President-elect Trump has provoked grave consternation at many points throughout his election campaign, and raised serious concerns about the strength of commitment we can expect to see from the United States towards human rights in the future. He must now put this behind him and both reaffirm and abide by the United States obligations on human rights, at home and abroad.. Margaret Huang, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, said: In the lead up to this weeks election, the United States has witnessed disturbing and, at times, poisonous rhetoric from President-elect Trump and others.

Announcement: Workshop on Big Data for public health policy making - extended deadline | CrowdHEALTH
As acknowledged by the World Health Organization, by a number of governmental institutions, and patient associations, the effective management of health-related problems depends on and requires appropriate public health policies. A public health policy may have a significant effect on the prevention and early diagnosis and early treatment of several diffuse and debilitating conditions including, for instance, cognitive decline.. The management of such health problems and their consequences through public health policies can benefit from the analysis of heterogeneous data (e.g., collected from modern IoT sensors as well as from standard clinical trials). Big Data Analytic techniques enable the investigation of specific health problems, their possible relations to other comorbidities and contextual factors, and patterns of such relations.. The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects concerning the adoption of Big Data ...

New Zealands Integration- Based Policy for Driving Local Health System Improvement - Which Conditions Underpin More Successful...
Two of the most important health policy trends of the twenty first century are the emphasis on integrated care and the focus on establishing policy frameworks for improving health outcomes. Although there are important connections between these developments, they have taken place largely independently of each other. The focus on health care integration has been on service design, organisational collaboration and alignment of funding mechanisms at the local and jurisdictional level. At around the same time, considerable interest in the measurement and monitoring of health outcomes has been driven by international organisations and researchers seeking to compare health system performance internationally. This also draws on concerted efforts to understand how changes in population health outcomes are attributable to health system activities [1]. Over recent years, this interest in health system improvement or performance is beginning to influence national health policy settings, particularly as it ...

Legal and Policy Challenges to Secondary Uses of Information from Electronic Clinical Health Records | AcademyHealth
In order to achieve a learning health care system in which quality and effectiveness of health care are improved as costs are lowered, leveraging electronic health record data for purposes beyond treatment and payment will need to become easier and more widespread. This paper explores the current legal and policy challenges associated with secondary use of electronic clinical data, including those inherently relying on Institutional Review Board (IRB) review, and discusses a number of strategies that early health IT-adopters have employed to address them. The paper closes by noting potential changes to federal research rules that could ease restrictions on research in the future and by raising one additional policy challenge - support for health services research infrastructure - that, if unresolved, could create obstacles to further progress. ...

Chinas HIV/AIDS policy progress displays a long-term stagnancy followed by a sudden revolution. This article utilizes multiple theoretical tools to interpret this policy progress. It identifies four phases of Chinas HIV/AIDS policy process: (1) institutional endurance interpreted by path dependence from historical institutionalism; (2) deinstitutionalization explained by Olivers antecedents of deinstitutionalization; (3) the radical shift interpreted by Kingdons agenda-setting theory; and (4) reinstitutionalization and diffusion of institutional theory. This study demonstrates the utility of creative borrowing-employing multiple theoretical tools to harness the strengths of each. Doing so reveals that a countrys past experience with similar policy issues, the perceived political and moral legitimacy of existing policies, and a countrys existing political interests can exert resistance to change. In the presence of multiple pressures for change, policy entrepreneurs who can identify ...
Government policies favouring research for economic returns can overlook existing strengths in arts and humanities | CGHE Blog
Although the Great Recession affected numerous countries around the world, few were as profoundly impacted as Ireland. In the depths of the crisis, real gross domestic product collapsed by 10 per cent, and unemployment ran to almost 15 per cent, priming the context for the Irish government to implement radical policy decisions across a number of areas. Most significant for researchers was the implementation of the Irish governments National Research Prioritisation Exercise policy, which marked the end of what had been a strategy to build a broad base of expertise in higher education. In its stead stood a narrow view of research for economic outcomes. Almost 10 years later, the government adopted a more rounded strategy, Innovation 2020. So, what do these different approaches tell us?. In the wake of the crisis, a series of reviews commenced that sought to redraw the higher education landscape, one of which was the governments policy of research prioritisation. Its overarching objective was to ...
How Effective is Fiscal Policy Response in Systemic Banking Crises?
This paper studies the effects of fiscal policy response in 118 episodes of systemic banking crisis in advanced and emerging market countries during 1980-2008. It finds that timely countercyclical fiscal measures contribute to shortening the length of crisis episodes by stimulating aggregate demand. Fiscal expansions that rely mostly on measures to support government consumption are more effective in shortening the crisis duration than those based on public investment or income tax cuts. But these results do not hold for countries with limited fiscal space where fiscal expansions are prevented by funding constraints. The composition of countercyclical fiscal responses matters as well for output recovery after the crisis, with public investment yielding the strongest impact on growth. These results suggest a potential trade-off between short-run aggregate demand support and medium-term productivity growth objectives in fiscal stimulus packages adopted in distress times.
Handbook on Mental Health Policy in the United States | Rent 9780313250095 | 031325009X
As the social and economic costs associated with mental disorders continue to rise, policymakers and mental health administrators are faced with dwindling budgets and the need for expanded and improved services. This ambitious new work offers a thorough examination of these difficult policy issues, together with studies of the population groups affected and the programs and facilities designed to serve them. Written by twenty-nine specialists in the field, it provides analyses of recent empirical findings and a thoughtful review of the challenges that lie ahead.

From Global to Local: Integrating Policy Frameworks for the Prevention and Management of Invasive Species - Chicago Scholarship
To be comprehensive and effective, policy frameworks for addressing invasive species need to address a number of levels including the pathways by which invasive species are introduced, the legal sector that has jurisdiction over the movement and/or use of those species, and geographic scale of the movements (e.g., country to country, local site to site). Regulation of pathways for the introduction of invasive species is a critical approach for prevention efforts, but requires coordinated action across a range of different sectors or fields of policy and law. Different fields of international law and policy related to invasive species have differing weights or cache with regard to their implementation and enforcement. International environmental agreements offer a range of voluntary guidelines and tools specific to the management of invasive species, but these measures are often non-binding or lack enforceability. In contrast, trade agreements have significant compliance requirements, but historically

The value of rapid sepsis treatment: New research | Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation
A new study published in The New England Journal of Medicine by a team that includes IHPI members looks at the controversy surrounding how quickly sepsis must be treated.. Using data from 185 hospitals on patients with sepsis and septic shock, researchers found that faster administration of care was linked with lower mortality.. The study team included Michigan Medicine researchers and University of Michigan Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation members Hallie Prescott, M.D., assistant professor of internal medicine, and Theodore Iwashyna, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of internal medicine.. Both time to antibiotics and time to three-hour bundle completion were associated with lower risk-adjusted mortality. For every additional hour of delay in these treatments, odds of mortality increased by 4 percent.. This is the largest study to date looking at time to antibiotics in sepsis treatment, Prescott says. It was made possible as a result of patient-level data collected in New York ...

The role of power in health policy dialogues: lessons from African countries | BMC Health Services Research | Full Text
Policy-making is a dynamic process involving the interplay of various factors, with power, one of its core components, at the heart of every policy process [1]. Fundamental to any policy process are the roles of the actors. The actors influence the process through their knowledge, experiences, beliefs and power [1]. Although power has a profound role in policy-making, empirical evidence suggests that health policy analysis has paid only limited attention to the issue of power in low and middle income countries [2]. Further, power is rarely examined because this is difficult, requiring a combination of empirical evidence and theorising. The definition of power is ambiguous too, especially when it is used in operational terms for research [3]. Dhal [3] states that the way power is defined and understood has implications in policy-making. There are conflicting views on power dynamics, including on the common assumption that power is and should always be top-down.. Many of the debates around policy ...

From Great Depression to Great Credit Crisis: Similarities, Differences and Lessons
The Great Depression of the 1930s and the Great Credit Crisis of the 2000s had similar causes but elicited strikingly different policy responses. It may still be too early to assess the effectiveness of current policy responses, but it is possible to analyze monetary and fiscal policies in the 1930s as a natural experiment or counterfactual capable of shedding light on the impact of recent policies. We employ vector autoregressions, instrumental variables, and qualitative evidence for a panel of 27 countries in the period 1925-1939. The results suggest that monetary and fiscal stimulus was effective - that where it did not make a difference it was not tried. The results also shed light on the debate over fiscal multipliers in episodes of financial crisis. They are consistent with multipliers at the higher end of those estimated in the recent literature, consistent with the idea that the impact of fiscal stimulus will be greater when banking system are dysfunctional and monetary policy is ...

African leadership for sustainable health policy and systems research | BMC Health Services Research | Full Text
The era of health systems strengthening can be dated to a ministerial summit held in Mexico City in 2004, which resulted in the Mexico Statement on Health Research and signaled the emergence a new era for global health. It called on national governments to commit more funding to research on health systems and other funders of health research to support a substantive and sustainable program of health systems research aligned with priority country needs [1].. This call came shortly after the launch of large-scale disease-specific initiatives to address HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis, and just as global mobilization began in earnest to address the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). At least three major factors aligned to drive a shift in attention and resources to health systems strengthening: realization that weak health systems impede the achievement of health MDGs, growing evidence on the adverse effects of global health initiatives on national health systems, and the recognition by global ...

Media FHE HEi News New policy papers prompt contrasting views on the way ahead for HE
Rhiannon Birch, Director of Strategic Insights and Planning at the University of Derby, observes how the recent deluge of HE policy papers has brought contrasting reactions and opinions on how the sector should engage with government proposals.. A couple of weeks ago, Nicola Owen wrote for this Blog on the avalanche of policy papers which had emerged from the DfE. With the sheer quantity of policy thrown at the sector, its been interesting to observe how responses have percolated through, and this weeks news provides some points for comparison.. One way of responding to a policy deluge is to think about the sectors positioning and its options to influence future policy development. In terms of a direct approach to policy engagement, Stephen Meeks piece on the Universities Policy Engagement Network (UPEN) highlighted that the relationship between research and policy making has mattered more than ever in the past year, and outlines how policy networks can facilitate direct engagement with ...

From health care to drug wars: grad students investigate
My current research looks at the impact of politicization - political control by elected officials over bureaucracy - on policy formulation in health care. In a comparative case study of France and Turkey, I examine how different forms of political control affect the way in which health policies are formulated and health outcomes are shaped. My dissertation asks two main questions: What explains variation in public bureaucracies performance under similar institutional settings facing politicization? And how do different forms of politicization inform policy advisory roles of expert-bureaucrats and shape policy outcomes in health?. Drawing on policy documents and more than 60 in-depth semi-structured interviews with high-ranked bureaucrats in the ministries of health in France and Turkey, my dissertation hypothesizes that a politicized bureaucracy can take several forms and its effects can vary across institutional settings, policy stages and policy fields.. Therefore a general statement about ...

International Policy
According to the International Energy Agency, greenhouse gas emissions from transportation are expected to increase by 120% from 2000 to 2050, largely as a result of a projected three-fold increase in the number of cars worldwide. Without major changes in urban development investments and policy -especially in fast developing countries like China and Brazil-transport emissions are projected to skyrocket, jeopardizing any attempts to stay within a two-degree warming scenario. Beyond greenhouse gases, many transportation system indicators have been moving in the wrong direction, with increasing air pollution, road crash deaths, congestion, and time and money wasted on inefficient mobility.. ITDP has long advocated at the international level to strengthen political will to address climate change, accelerate sustainable development, and increase development finance for low-carbon and equitable transport. In decades of work at the international policy level, ITDP has leveraged hundreds of billions of ...
