Abstract:

Objectives: The Care and Prevention in the United States Demonstration Project included implementation of a Data to Care strategy using surveillance and other data to (1) identify people with HIV infection in need of HIV medical care or other services and (2) facilitate linkages to those services to improve health outcomes. We present the experiences of 4 state health departments: Illinois, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Virginia. Methods: The 4 state health departments used multiple databases to generate listings of people with diagnosed HIV infection (PWH) who were presumed not to be in HIV medical care or who had difficulty maintaining viral suppression from October 1, 2013, through September 29, 2016. Each health department prioritized the listings (eg, by length of time not in care, by viral load), reviewed them for accuracy, and then disseminated the listings to staff members to link PWH to HIV care and services. Results: Of 16 391 PWH presumed not to be in HIV medical care, 9852 (60.1%) were selected for follow-up; of those, 4164 (42.3%) were contacted, and of those, 1479 (35.5%) were confirmed to be not in care. Of 794 (53.7%) PWH who accepted services, 694 (87.4%) were linked to HIV medical care. The Louisiana Department of Health also identified 1559 PWH as not virally suppressed, 764 (49.0%) of whom were eligible for follow-up. Of the 764 PWH who were eligible for follow-up, 434 (56.8%) were contacted, of whom 269 (62.0%) had treatment adherence issues. Of 153 PWH who received treatment adherence services, 104 (68.0%) showed substantial improvement in viral suppression. Conclusions: The 4 health departments established procedures for using surveillance and other data to improve linkage to HIV medical care and health outcomes for PWH. To be effective, health departments had to enhance coordination among surveillance, care programs, and providers; develop mechanisms to share data; and address limitations in data systems and data quality.

Abstract:

IntroductionThe USA lags behind other high-income countries in many health indicators. Outcome differences are associated with differences in the relative spending between healthcare and social services at the national level. The impact of the ratio and delivery of social and healthcare services on the individual patient’s health is however unknown. ‘Reframing Healthcare Services through the Lens of Co-Production’ (RheLaunCh) will be a cross-Atlantic comparative study of the mechanisms by which healthcare and social service delivery may impact patient health with chronic conditions. Insight into these mechanisms is needed to better and cost-effectively organise healthcare and social services.MethodsWe designed a mixed methods study to compare the socioeconomic background, needs of and service delivery to patients with congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the USA and the Netherlands. We will conduct: (1) a literature scan to compare national and regional healthcare and social service systems; (2) a retrospective database study to compare patient’s socioeconomic and clinical characteristics and the service use and spending at the national, regional and hospital level; (3) a survey to compare patient perceived quality of life, receipt and experience of service delivery and ability of these services to meet patient needs; and (4) multiple case studies to understand what patients need to better govern their quality of life and how needs are met by services.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval was granted by the ethics committee of the Radboud University Medical Center (2016–2423) in the Netherlands and by the Human Subjects Research Committee of the Hennepin Health Care System, Inc. (HSR #16–4230) in the USA. Multiple approaches will be used for dissemination of results, including (inter)national research presentations and peer-reviewed publications. A website will be established to support the development of a community of practice.

Abstract:

Purpose: The results of a survey of academic medical centers assessing the presence and description of opioid stewardship activities. Methods: Academic medical centers within the Vizient University Health System Consortium Pharmacy Network were asked to complete a survey related to opioid stewardship activities. The survey consisted of 30 questions aimed at identifying current opioid stewardship practices among hospitals and health systems. Results: There were 27 respondents to the survey. Only 42.3% of respondents have opioid stewardship activities in place. Opioid stewardship practices are primarily linked to either formal consult services or the role of a clinical pharmacy specialist. Very few institutions have opioid stewardship embedded into the daily practice of clinical pharmacists. Just over half of respondents have pharmacists as part of a pain consult team. Principle roles of pharmacists on consult teams include provider education, patient education, and optimization of therapy outside of a collaborative practice or prescribing role. Over half of the respondents participating in stewardship maintain a pharmacist’s role in monitoring surgery and postoperative opioid prescribing. The majority of respondents have opioid medication policies in place to address range orders, smart pump programming of opioids, limits on meperidine use, and cumulative limits on acetaminophen dosing. Conclusion: There are limited examples of pharmacy services related to opioid stewardship. The authors believe this is a pharmacy practice model that will evolve with the national attention to the opioid epidemic and new Joint Commission Standards.

Abstract:

Abstract The outbreak of COVID-19 has triggered an unprecedented health crisis across the world. Previous research indicated that the fear of being infected in public place has transportation hindered the commuters’ choice on. In fact, underground transportation systems, especially those located in high- density cities, have been perceived as high risk environments under the pandemic. In addition, the prolonged COVID-19 outbreak, together with the negative public impression towards underground environment, have to certain extent triggered various mental health responses amongst citizens (e.g., 42.3% increase of anxiety in Hong Kong). This study thus aims to investigate the impacts of FM on underground development users’ mental health in Hong Kong. To achieve this aim, a questionnaire survey approach is adopted. The survey is designed to contain three parts: background information, satisfaction towards underground FM (space management, building services, and supporting facilities related to the pandemic), and mental health level (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and claustrophobia). Data is collected over four underground subway stations in Hong Kong. Person correlation and regression analysis are conducted to determine the statistically significant relationships between underground FM and users’ mental health. The results indicated that satisfaction towards visual access, immediate access, and hygiene practices have negative relationship with the occurrence of emotional exhuastion and depersonalization, except for claustrophobia symptoms. The study results provide empirical evidence for practitioners to make informed decisions in FM plans for enhancing mental health of underground development users under and after the pandemic.

Abstract:

BackgroundSeveral West African countries are unlikely to achieve the recommended Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) immunisation coverage and dropout targets in a landscape beset with entrenched intra-country equity gaps in immunisation. Our aim was to assess and compare the immunisation coverage, dropout and equity gaps across 15 West African countries between 2000 and 2017.MethodsWe compared Bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG) and the third dose of diphtheria–tetanus–pertussis (DTP3) containing vaccine coverage between 2000 and 2017 using the WHO and Unicef Estimates of National Immunisation Coverage for 15 West African countries. Estimated subregional median and weighted average coverages, and dropout (DTP1–DTP3) were tracked against the GVAP targets of ≥90% coverage (BCG and DTP3), and ≤10% dropouts. Equity gaps in immunisation were assessed using the latest disaggregated national health survey immunisation data.ResultsThe weighted average subregional BCG coverage was 60.7% in 2000, peaked at 83.2% in 2009 and was 65.7% in 2017. The weighted average DTP3 coverage was 42.3% in 2000, peaked at 70.3% in 2009 and was 61.5% in 2017. As of 2017, 46.7% of countries (7/15) had met the GVAP targets on DTP3 coverage. Average weighted subregional immunisation dropouts consistently reduced from 16.4% in 2000 to 7.4% in 2017, meeting the GVAP target in 2008. In most countries, inequalities in BCG, and DTP3 coverage and dropouts were mainly related to equity gaps of more than 20% points between the wealthiest and the poorest, high coverage regions and low coverage regions, and between children of mothers with at least secondary education and those with no formal education. A child’s sex and place of residence (urban or rural) minimally determined equity gaps.ConclusionsThe West African subregion made progress between 2000 and 2017 in ensuring that its children utilised immunisation services, however, wide equity gaps persist.

Abstract:

Aims/BackgroundEmergency care is being provided to, and utilised by, Ugandan patients despite there being no formal system capable of producing optimal outcomes. For the country’s emergency care system to be appropriate and contextualised, there must first be an understanding of the actual utilisation of emergency care services. Current coding systems for analysing and comparing disease burden across sites do not adequately represent the patient population and resources required for quality emergency care to be delivered.ObjectiveTo describe the burden of disease, acuity and management of emergency patients presenting to secondary Ugandan health facilities.Methods/DesignA retrospective review of 4704 emergency care patient charts from November 2018 to April 2019 was performed from 11 sites throughout Uganda. A novel diagnosis coding system was developed for use in LMIC emergency care context consisting of 482 codes, 158 sub-categories and 7 disease classes.Results6506 diagnoses were recorded, 34.98% of patients had 2 or more diagnoses. 33.8% were conditions of non-infective origin, 30.1% conditions of infective origin and 25.7% injury. Top 5 diagnoses were malaria, anaemia, pneumonia, head injury and soft tissue injury. Patient charts documented triage in 0.13% of cases, at least 1 vital sign in 42.3% of cases and at least 1 form of examination in 41.4% of cases. 62.3% patients had at least 1 form of investigation. 73.2% of patients received an IV treatment, most commonly antibiotics (52.5%) and IV crystalloids (33.1%).ConclusionThis is the first study of all-cause disease burden and management of emergency patients presenting across multiple Ugandan facilities. The development and application of an emergency care specific diagnostic coding system applicable to LMICs is a vital step to enable understanding and comparison across facilities. By appreciating the burden of emergency care disease, strategies can be put in place to implement an integrated emergency care system in Uganda.

Abstract:

The evaluation of telemedicine involves attempts to answer a wide range of questions involved in making decisions about safety, about practicality and about utility. Roughly speaking, if we wish to provide a telemedicine service we should first establish that it is safe, next that it is practical and finally that it is worthwhile. In establishing safety, most laboratory studies of telemedicine have a common structure, and consist of the following steps: (1) selection of cases; (2) interpretation; (3) comparison with a gold standard; (4) statistical analyses. Most of the studies to establish the practicality of telemedicine have been carried out as demonstrations, to show that a proposed application can be implemented in a chosen setting. In terms of utility, telemedicine has been used to improve the efficiency of an existing service or to make an existing service available to a new community. One of the difficulties is that the vendors of relatively expensive telemedicine systems and services disseminate much of the information on the topic. We have to focus not on the glamorous technology but on the underlying issue of how the participants in health care (patients, general practitioners, specialists) can communicate more effectively, using the range of technological options open to them. Ensuring that the most appropriate technology is used in the most effective way should be the primary aim of telemedicine research. There is now sufficient evidence for us to be confident that telemedicine is a safe alternative to conventional care in a variety of situations and for a number of clinical conditions. Reliable evidence that it is a practical and cost-effective alternative is, at the time of writing, harder to find.

Abstract:

The design and realization of health monitoring systems has attracted the interest of large communities both from industry and academia. Remote and continuous monitoring of patient’s vital signs is the target of an emerging business market that aims both to improve the quality of life of patients and to reduce costs of national healthcare services. Such applications, however, are particularly critical from the point of view of dependability. This presents the design of a set of services for the assurance of high degrees of dependability to generic mobile health monitoring systems. The design is based on the results of a detailed failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), conducted to identify the typical dependability threats of health monitoring systems. The FMEA allowed the authors to conceive a set of configurable monitoring services, enriching the system with the ability to detect failures at runtime, and enabling the realization of dependable services for future mobile health monitoring systems.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Equitable access to health services is one of the health justice criteria. E-health can sometimes be helpful in this regard. This study is aimed to find the use of cloud computing services across health system.METHOD: In the present review article, numerous research papers from different resources, such as MEDLINE, IEEE and Science direct, were studied. Based on the subject, 210 studies were found. After quality analysis of the papers, 78 studies were selected, from which 53 articles were directly related to the applications of cloud computing in health system.FINDINGS: Cloud computing services are widely used in various industries. Therefore, health system takes advantage of the services. Findings indicate that, the applications of cloud computing in health system, including telemedicine, medical imaging, public and personal health, clinical and hospital information systems, medical decision support system, care, secondary use of health data, serve as different types of specialized software used to analyze gene sequences and archive huge biological data. Generally cloud computing services are available in two sectors in any health system as follows: E-health services and Bioinformatics.CONCLUSION: Facilitated access to the E-health services and big data in health systems are the main features of exploiting cloud computing services in health systems. Using cloud computing in health systems not only makes health services more affordable, but also helps nations to achieve health equity.

Abstract:

The major barriers to the collection of primary population-based dental services data are: (1) Dentists do not use standard record systems; (2) few dentists use electronic records; and (3) it is costly to abstract paper dental records. The value of secondary data from paid insurance claims is limited, because dentists code only services delivered and not diagnoses, and it is difficult to obtain and merge claims from multiple insurance carriers. In a national demonstration project on the impact of community-based dental education programs on the care provided to underserved populations, we have developed a simplified dental visit encounter system. Senior students and residents from 15 dental schools (approximately 200 to 300 community delivery sites) will use computers or scannable paper forms to collect basic patient demographic and service data on several hundred thousand patient visits. Within the next 10 years, more dentists will use electronic records. To be of value to researchers, these data need to be collected according to a standardized record format and to be available regionally from public or private insurers.

Abstract:

This study studied cultural competence training needs in a health services system in California. Results indicated that the major training needs were related to (1) cultural factors that affect consumers’ access to services, (2) ethnic and cultural beliefs, traditions, and customs, (3) training for interpreters, and (4) crosscultural communication. Significant differences were found in regard to administrator and staff participation in cultural awareness activities, perception of the work environment as culturally competent, perception of culturally-related barriers, and perceived training needs. The findings support the importance of a continuous assessment of the educational needs of employees regarding cultural competence.

Abstract:

The use of information systems and computer science applications in the health sector is now entrenched and widespread. In mental health services there are the typical applications of information systems concerning administrative, clinical and research issues, as well as innovative applications concerning diagnostic procedures, self-help, communication and delivery of psychotherapy.

Abstract:

Purpose In order to create sustainable health systems, many countries are introducing ways to prioritise health services underpinned by a process of health technology assessment. While this approach requires technical judgements of clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness, these are embedded in a wider set of social (societal) value judgements, including fairness, responsiveness to need, non-discrimination and obligations of accountability and transparency. Implementing controversial decisions faces legal, political and public challenge. To help generate acceptance for the need for health prioritisation and the resulting decisions, the purpose of this paper is to develop a novel way of encouraging key stakeholders, especially patients and the public, to become involved in the prioritisation process. Design/methodology/approach Through a multidisciplinary collaboration involving a series of international workshops, ethical and political theory (including accountability for reasonableness) have been applied to develop a practical way forward through the creation of a values framework. The authors have tested this framework in England and in New Zealand using a mixed-methods approach. Findings A social values framework that consists of content and process values has been developed and converted into an online decision-making audit tool. Research limitations/implications The authors have developed an easy to use method to help stakeholders (including the public) to understand the need for prioritisation of health services and to encourage their involvement. It provides a pragmatic way of harmonising different perspectives aimed at maximising health experience. Practical implications All health care systems are facing increasing demands within finite resources. Although many countries are introducing ways to prioritise health services, the decisions often face legal, political, commercial and ethical challenge. The research will help health systems to respond to these challenges. Social implications This study helps in increasing public involvement in complex health challenges. Originality/value No other groups have used this combination of approaches to address this issue.

Abstract:

When developing accessible, affordable and effective mental health systems, exchange of data between countries is an important moving force towards better mental health care. Unfortunately, health information systems in most countries are weak in the field of mental health, and comparability of data is low.Special international data collection exercises, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) Atlas Project and the WHO Baseline Project have provided valuable insights in the state of mental health systems in countries, but such single-standing data collections are not sustainable solutions. Improvements in routine data collection are urgently needed. The European Commission has initiated major improvements to ensure harmonized and comprehensive health data collection, by introducing the European Community Health Indicators set and the European Health Interview Survey. However, both of these initiatives lack strength in the field of mental health. The neglect of the need for relevant and valid comparable data on mental health systems is in conflict with the importance of mental health for European countries and the objectives of the ‘Europe 2020’ strategy.The need for valid and comparable mental health services data is today addressed only by single initiatives, such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development work to establish quality indicators for mental health care. Real leadership in developing harmonized mental health data across Europe is lacking. A European Mental Health Observatory is urgently needed to lead development and implementation of monitoring of mental health and mental health service provision in Europe.

Abstract:

Purpose – Neuropsychiatric disorders account for a substantial proportion of disease burden and disability in Africa. Despite this, mental health systems are under-resourced in Africa, as in most parts of the world, creating a “treatment gap” and denying the African population the right to mental health achieved through access to mental health services. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The mental health systems of African countries were compared with figures for all low- and middle-income countries (LAMICS) using data from the World Health Organization Assessment Instrument for Mental Health Systems. Comparable global figures were also available for some indicators from the WHO's World Mental Health Atlas 2011. Findings – Selected indicators of mental health systems are presented for 14 African countries and shows that they are lower as compared to figures for all other LAMICS and also global figures. The treatment gap for mental disorders is much higher in Africa than comparable global figures. For example, the treatment gap for mood disorders has been estimated from 95 to 100 per cent for some African countries. Originality/value – There is an imbalance between need and service provision in the area of mental health across the world but particularly in Africa. Despite this, there are a greater number of outpatient than inpatient services in Africa which provides an opportunity for development of community-based services. There are also many encouraging examples of effective approaches to reducing the burden of neuropsychiatic disease in Africa.
