Abstract:

What factors influence work motivation and how it can be enhanced is of fundamental importance for employees and managers within all kinds of organizations. Of particular interest regarding this subject is therefore the primary health care sector: Firstly, because recurrent concerns of heavy work load and low motivation level, but also because it has experienced many changes, for example the allowance of private alternatives. The primary focus of this study was to explore whether the presence of a ranking was correlated to work motivation. Secondary, the study investigated correlations between

Thesis (MPhil (Afrikaans and Dutch))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Over the past decade many studies have shown that ad hoc interpreting services are still the norm for the health care sector in the South African context. The health care sector of South Africa, specifically in the Western Cape, is characterised by primarily Afrikaans- and English-speaking doctors, or medical practitioners in general, who do not understand Xhosaspeaking patients. In order to bridge this language gap, ad hoc interpreting services are employed, which are rendered by family members o

Abstract:

This thesis is about access control in the health care sector. Access control is a function in It-systems that allows authorized users to access data they have right to access, prevents unauthorized users from accessing data and prevents authorized users from disclosing data unlawfully. One of the pillars of access control is that a user only is authorized to access data that he or she needs to perform a task. This describes the principle of least privilege and its objective is to ensure data's confidentiality and integrity. In the health care sector where an increasing number of public and pr

The objective of this thesis was to defend an alternative approach by health policy makers for improving health outcomes through investing on social factors of peoples' lives, rather than by increasing health expenditures. In order to defend this theory, this master thesis addresses two research questions: Which are the social determinants of health with largest impact on health status of individuals? And what is the statistical correlation between those social determinants of health and self-reported health status, and psychological health, for Germany, Denmark, Spain and Ireland? The first q

Abstract:

The dissertation examines the economic and behavioral factors influencing 'sector-switching' in Kazakhstan's health care industry. Sector-switching involves doctors moving from the national to the private system, which is not well established, thereby raising questions about why the switch occurs. It addresses the question: why health care professionals in Kazakhstan switch from the public sector to similar jobs in the private or nonprofit sectors? This study addresses a key issue in public management (sector switching) and also offers insights into the dynamics of the transition from a centra

The South African health sector encounters significant challenges of inequality in terms of access to health care services. A ‘quadruplet burden of disease’ does not make access to health any easier.

Rural patients are faced with hospitals that do not have specialist care while urban areas are swamped with patient who need specialist care. Medical general practitioners’ scope of practice is limited and that creates challenges when patients need specialised care in a resource constrained environment. The time

Abstract:

This study examines the factors that have contributed to the success of some Central and Eastern European countries to improve their health care sector in the post communist period, while leaving others to its demise. While most literature has been focused on the political and economic transition of Eastern Europe, very little research has been done about the welfare aspects of the transition process, especially the health care sector. While the focus on political consequences and main macroeconomic reforms has shed light on many important processes, the lack of research of health care issue

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Powerful public-private partnerships (PPPs) can only be established if the partners are able to deal with complexity. Such partnerships may serve to stimulate local community and economic development. Thus, it may maximise the effectiveness of local groups and resources in meeting the needs for rebuilding a community through a partnership representative of the public and private sectors. A problem that exists in South Africa, is the uneven distribution of population ratios dependent on public and private sector health care service delivery, in relation to the proportion of pharmac

Abstract:

South African prescribers have a large choice of combination analgesic preparations available for prescribing. According to Desmeules et al. (2003:8) the advantages of combining analgesics include increasing the duration of analgesia, widening the spectrum of efficacy, improved patient compliance and reduced parenteral abuse potential. According to McMahon (1975:13) one of the principle arguments against fixed-dose combinations is that the physician surrenders flexibility in managing his patient. Combination analgesics may expose patients to ingredients not necessary for pain relief in their p
