Abstract:

This policy/planning thesis takes the format of a hypothetical study done for the Senior Assistant Deputy Minister in the B.C. Ministry of Health. The Ministry had shown interest in restructuring as a means of setting some boundaries on an open-ended medical care system in order to reduce expenditures for health care services. Because the clients' specific interest was in the American health maintenance organization (HMO) model, the study was concerned with the feasibility of introducing this model into the health care structures of B.C. The problem situation of increasing expenditures for health care services in B.C. was described and relevant systems involved in the situation were identified as: the Ministry of Health, the medical profession and hospitals. The unique perspectives of each system were described so their implications for the feasibility of an HMO model could be assessed. The HMO model, in the American context, was analyzed according to its generic elements and variant characteristics. In addition, the policy process of developing and implementing the HMO strategy was described. The HMO was found to be a highly complex organization that integrates financial mechanisms and service delivery. Evidence reviewed about its performance indicated that HMOs are a less expensive means of providing care than fee for service practice, that hospitalization rates range from 20 to 40% lower and are the primary source of HMO cost saving and that enrollees probably receive comparable quality care. The publicly funded health insurance system presents a primary obstacle to adopting this model to a Canadian setting because of weakened financial incentives for competition. The principles upheld by the program also hamper enrolling a fixed population which is a basic HMO element. To implement an HMO model in B.C., considerable restructuring of financial systems would be necessary to redirect funds to an HMO so that it could be at financial risk for providing hospital and medical services to an enrolled population. In reviewing some policy options, it was apparent that an HMO model would be most easily adapted to B.C. within the context of publicly funded competition in medical care practice. However, there did not appear to be sufficient support from relevant constituencies for such a comprehensive approach. But a consensus was evident in support of an HMO pilot project in order to assess more fully feasibility problems, to build support for the concept and to evaluate its effectiveness.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to explore differences in quality between Medicare Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) and Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO). Three outcomes measures reported by these plans use different methodologies but possess enough alignment to permit comparison: percent of diabetic patients with last HbA1c > 9.0%, colon cancer screening rate and ER visits per 1,000. These outcomes are the dependent variables (DV). A secondary purpose is to explore differences in quality based on the size of the beneficiary population served, using the same measures. As the Medicare program faces threats to its solvency in coming decades, with 10,000 baby boomers becoming eligible every day, and the ongoing national conversation about healthcare more generally, approaches to Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) are becoming more common. Organizations seeking to identify the types of VBP arrangements in which they should enter have precious little information on the comparative performance of VBP approaches relative to outcomes measures. Different structures create different incentives through the plan design and risk/reward. The convergence or dissipation of the plan incentives at the level of the provider, particularly in primary care, may be a source of variance. This study is retrospective, non-experimental, and uses publicly available data on the performance of Medicare ACO and HMO plans in calendar year 2015, for the identified measures. Using the Donabedian Structure-Process-Outcome framework, this study explores the impact of structure by type of plan and size of population served, relative to the outcomes. Race, average Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) risk score and duration of operations are control variables. The analysis uses multiple hierarchical regression to better understand the relationship between the independent variables (IV) and DVs, after the impact of the control variables (CV). After controls, the IVs did offer some explanation of variation in outcomes. The ACO plans fared better on HbA1c control, while HMO plans had fewer ER visits per 1,000. No discernable difference existed between the HMO and ACO plans with regard to colon cancer screening rate. Serving larger populations led to better performance on all three measures. In general performance was worse on each measure in both models when the percent of not-White patients or average HCC risk score increased. A longer duration of operations also associated to better performance on the outcome measures.

Abstract:

University of Central Florida College of Health Thesis
The utilization of ambulatory services by the health maintenance oranization of Florida (HMO), independent practice association (IPA) model, was compared to a fee-for-service population. Each randomly selected froup consisted of 250 patients being cared for by the same providers, at the same clinic, during the calendar year 1986. Demographic and clinical data was gathered from the office charts. Frequencies were evaluated by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and t-tests were run to substantiate variance at the 0.05 level of confidence. The HMO group is a younger population (t=0.017), and the males are responsible for the increased utilization of ambulatory services (t-0.001). Trends of increased utilization are noted across the age groups and the variables. The rate of hospitalization is insignificantly higher for the HMO population and covers a broader range of age groups. Consequently, this HMO IPA model increases the rate of ambulatory service utilization in a younger population without reducing the rate of hospitalization. Cost effectiveness studies and organizational management evalutions are needed.

Abstract:

In many Western countries today, not least in Sweden, there are a lot of organizations that have great problems with sickness absence. The costs connected to the high rates of sickness absence have also risen to alarming levels. Healthy co-workers and healthy organizations are obvious goals for many leaders, but this is not always so easy to establish. Work practices and leadership that are beneficial to co-worker health are thus vital to identify. Studies have shown relationships between company-wide implementation of quality programs and improved co-worker satisfaction along with low co-worker turn over; in other words, co-worker health along with improved customer satisfaction and financial results. Despite the great problems concerning sickness absence, there are organizations that have been awarded prizes for excellence in leadership, internal partnership, working environment, and profitability. The overall purposes of the research described in this thesis are to examine and describe how management and leadership can establish sustainable health among the co-workers and examine how the leadership for sustainable health is related to Quality Management. The in-depth purpose is to examine which aspects within the values derived from the quality movement are those that primarily influence the co-workers' perceived health. The results presented can be described in three parts and are results from four case studies carried out in five different organizations. Three of the organizations have received awards for establishing good working environment, good financial results, and low sick leaves among their co- workers; the fourth received an award for the successful implementation of quality programs. The first part consists of results from case studies in three different organizations and describes how organizations can work to achieve sustainable health among their co-workers, with practical examples. The results are methodologies, values and organizational structure, which it is considered possible for other organizations to adopt in their efforts to achieve good working conditions resulting in fewer sick leaves. The second part is an attempt to investigate if leadership for sustainable health is related to Quality Management. Methodologies, leadership values, organizational structure, and general values found in organizations which have achieved sustainable health are analyzed in the light of Deming's 14 points, and a correlation is indicated. There is also correlation found between the TQM values and the co-workers' perception of their health. The third part examines which of the aspects within the values grown from the quality movement are those that influence the co-workers perceived health. The results show significant correlation between the values and the co-workers' perception of their health. Aspects found within the value "Top management commitment" were named; Empathy, Presence and Communication, Integrity, and Continuity. Within the value "Let everybody be committed" the aspects; Development, Influence and Being informed were found. These aspects are described in more detail and also in one model per value. The result implies that the TQM values; "Top management commitment", "Improve continuously" "Let everybody be Committed" and "Focus on customers" are important for achieving healthy organizations and sustainable health among co-workers.

Abstract:

AbstractThe chapter focuses on three crucial elements of social and behavior change (SBC) preparedness within the realm of risk communication. The first section of the chapter describes how to implement a systematic first response to a new epidemic or outbreak. The World Health Organization (WHO)/The Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) framework provides a comprehensive structure to operationalize the immediate national level response for SBC. Ethiopia’s first response was well coordinated and planned, and importantly, started before the detection of the first COVID-19 case in the country. The second section of the chapter provides pooled estimates of COVID-19 prevention behaviors in the country which show a pattern of uneven adoption. The need to develop strategic SBC approaches for both behavior change and behavior maintenance is highlighted. Finally, the third section of the chapter deals with the mental health context during the pandemic in Ethiopia. We propose an integration of community-based mental health support with SBC preparedness activities.The chapter conducts a meta-analysis of peer reviewed literature on three COVID-19 preventive behaviors and on the huge mental burden borne by Ethiopians during the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidelines for practice provided in the chapter are globally applicable. We hope that Ethiopia’s collective experience results in better success in the global fight against COVID-19.

Abstract:

Linear assets are defined as assets whose length plays a critical role in their maintenance Linear asset owners strive to optimize the value and performance of each asset throughout its lifecycle while meeting all of safety, reliability, quality, performance, and regulatory compliance requirements... A case study is used to present the implementation of linear asset management practices for overhead transmission lines (OHTL). More specifically, the purpose of this paper is to propose an Asset Health Index (AHI) for OHTL using a condition-based method and discuss some other monitoring methods (e.g., robot LineVue with non-destructive in-situ inspection technology for conductors and an integral online approach to ensure tower and conductor integrity - OTLM device and strain gauges). In addition, various issues, and challenges for managing linear assets are also discussed.

Abstract:

Despite advancements in technology and work forms, human labor remains essential, with increasing demands on skills for survival and job maintenance. Workplace harassment is a historical issue affecting workers across genders, races, and ethnicities, and is more likely in environments seeking cost reduction and higher productivity. Harassment involves conduct causing physical or psychological harm, with its roots in Labor Law. Recent efforts focus on problematizing and combating harassment in organizations. The study investigated workers’ perceptions of harassment in a Bahian industry, using a questionnaire and scientific studies as data sources.

Abstract:

Introduction: Knowledge Management has an important role in the search for competitiveness and innovation in organizations, as well as its implementation at the organizational level is complex. Therefore, companies are required to build essential skills for continuous improvement, based on a basic understanding of aspects related to organizational culture and systemic management of processes, especially the organizational learning process. The pandemic brought several challenges to organizations, including regarding the organization and maintenance of this management and its influence on organizational learning. Objective: to verify the relationship between knowledge management and organizational learning in hospital professionals before and after social isolation due to COVID-19. Sample: 30 health professionals, from the municipalities of João Pessoa/PB (15 – before Covid) and Natal/RN (15 – after Covid) answered the knowledge management scale, learning opportunities scale and sociodemographic questions . Results: All scales presented internal consistency indicators > 0.70, ensuring the measurement of the construct; positive and significant relationships were observed between knowledge management and organizational learning, both in the total sample and in the sample of professionals before and after social isolation, however, for professionals before the Covid context, the relationships were > 0 .50. In Anova, there was only a difference in organizational learning in professionals before the pandemic context. Discussion: The ways of managing knowledge, knowledge and culture contribute to learning the system and work dynamics, which was more efficient before social isolation; For this development, the manager is of great importance, as he is responsible for the normative and professional demands of the organization. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop and maintain a training program between knowledge management and organizational learning to facilitate the daily capture of individual and collective knowledge for a productive work environment.

Abstract:

Risk assessment is a key tool in occupational safety work at workplaces. A systematic risk assessment can be used to meet the statutory obligation to determine and assess the hazard and risk factors for the safety and health of employees in companies of all sizes. Furthermore, by developing risk assessments, workplaces can reduce accidents and improve the safety and healthiness of working conditions. Since a lot of time and resources are used for risk assessment at workplaces, the assessment should be efficient and successful. With risk assessment, companies can simultaneously improve job productivity and competitiveness and support the preservation of workers' ability to work. Previous studies have suggested that risk assessment development needs include, for example, the development of resourcing and improvement of communication, competence and knowledge. This study aims to produce knowledge of Finnish workplaces' risk assessment development needs related to safety and health at work in order to better meet the company's own needs. The material was acquired with a new questionnaire that aids organizations in finding out personnel's perceptions of the practices and development needs of occupational safety risk assessment. Based on the responses, development targets can be identified, and risk assessment skills in different parts of an organization can be compared. The questionnaire can be used to determine, for example, whether the objectives of risk assessment have been understood within an organization. The questionnaire includes both closed and open-ended questions. The open-ended questions clarify previous selections and for example, suggest ways to arrange training to an organization. The questionnaire was part of a larger project, and the questions were based on previous phases of the project. Four companies piloted the questionnaire. After receiving feedback, a few modifications were made. The process and methods of creating the questionnaire will be described in more detail in the article. The final questionnaire was sent to three organizations. The first is a part of a public organization, the second is a private company in the transport sector, and the third organization provides maintenance services for industrial companies. The companies' contact persons forwarded the link to the questionnaire respondents, and 348 responses were received. The results were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The revealed development needs generally concerned, among others, the planning of risk assessment, which includes for instance risk assessment goals and frameworks planned by the organizations. Regarding the definition of measures, the determination of risk assessment and management was raised. In addition, communication about the progress of the determined measures, going through the risk assessment with the employees, giving feedback to those conducting the assessment, and clearly documenting the results were among the identified development needs. Next, a practical model for workplaces to develop their occupational health and safety risk assessments will be developed.

Abstract:

Conceptually, the management of safety at roadworks can be seen in a three level framework. At the regulatory level, roadworks operate at the interface between the work environment, governed by workplace health and safety regulations, and the road environment, which is subject to road traffic regulations and practices. At the organizational level, national, state and local governments plan and purchase road construction and maintenance which are then delivered in-house or tendered out to large construction companies who often subcontract multiple smaller companies to supply services and labor. At the operational level, roadworks are difficult to isolate from the general public, hindering effective occupational health and safety controls. This study, from the State of Queensland, Australia, examines how well this tripartite framework functions. It includes reviews of organizational policy and procedures documents; interviews with 24 subject matter experts from various road construction and maintenance organizations, and on-site interviews with 66 road construction personnel. The study identified several factors influencing the translation of safety policies into practice including the cost of safety measures in the context of competitive tendering, lack of firm evidence of the effectiveness of safety measures, and pressures to minimize disruption to the travelling public.

Abstract:

The article presents the characteristics of the social and charitable activities of religious organizations in Eastern Europe (Western Ukraine and Poland) during the first half of the 20th century. Based on the archival and scientific sources as well as a set of methods (general scientific methods (synthesis and analysis of historical, educational and cultural sources), historical and structural method, comparative method, retro-praxisymmetric method, problem-targeted method), the directions of the social and charitable activities of the religious organizations are revealed. These directions include taking measures to strengthen children�s health (the examinations of children�s health, carrying out vaccinations, implementation of special medical care for babies, expansion of the network of medical institutions for children: dispensaries, sanatoriums, vacation homes); satisfying the financial needs of children, which included: providing them with food, financial and material assistance (money, things, medicine, etc.); organization of social work with orphans and children deprived of parental care, which included registration of children, establishment and maintenance of social institutions, patronage, identification of the reasons for child neglect and prevention of these cases, etc. The types of social institutions have been determined. They are boarding-type institutions (orphanages, shelters), part-time institutions (kindergartens and zachoronky), special institutions (for disabled children), �American kitchens� for the homeless, consultations for mothers etc. The types of orphans in social institutions have been determined. They are natural orphans, half-orphans, social orphans and psychological orphans. The significant role of the religious organizations and the clergymen in solving social problems has been revealed.

Abstract:

The terms “risk assessment” and “risk management” are both commonly used to describe some method of identifying, understanding and controlling risks. In the pipeline industry, risks are encountered and must be addressed at the concept and design phase, construction and commissioning phases and the operations and maintenance phases. Risk assessment is a detailed, systematic examination of any pipeline activity, location or operation system to identify risks, understand the probability and potential consequences of the risks, and to review the current or planned approaches to controlling risks. Risk management is the set of ongoing management and engineering activities to ensure that risks are assessed and controlled to a reasonably achievable, tolerable level. A continuous improvement approach is also required. A wide variety of risk management or loss control activities are in use in the pipeline industry internationally. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss some of these techniques and the benefits to be derived from the application of risk management techniques throughout all phases of pipeline activity. Effective risk management allows organizations to preempt losses and get on top of managed system problems before incidents and accidents occur. After all, the vast majority of the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) problems at work sites are system problems, not operator problems. This paper will present an overview of several risk assessment and risk management techniques to acquaint conference participants with the information needed to select the most appropriate techniques to utilize during the various phases of pipeline development and operation.

Abstract:

The World Health Organization has stated that disabilities are a natural part of the human experience and nearly everyone will experience temporary or permanent disabilities at some point in their lifetime. Approximately 1.3 billion individuals, which is roughly 16% of the global population, struggle with disabilities such as visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, learning, and neurological impairments. The quality of software depends on non-functional characteristics such as availability, maintenance, performance, reliability, scalability, security, and usability. Non-functional requirements are crucial for the success of software projects. In this context, accessibility plays a critical role in emphasizing the importance of non-functional requirements in software development. We conducted a survey of software development professionals to identify their understanding, awareness, and level of adopted practices in accessibility. Our study revealed the need for comprehensive accessibility curricula, accessible training programs, and better collaboration between academia, industry, government agencies and advocacy groups. By leveraging collective expertise and resources, stakeholders can work together to advance accessibility initiatives and address common challenges to develop accessible software. Establishing partnerships to share best practices, develop guidelines, and support organizations striving to improve accessibility in their products and services will create a more inclusive digital landscape.

Full text

Abstract:

Double Block and Bleed (DBB) is the term commonly used to describe the systems or valving arrangements that provide double barrier pressure isolation of those performing work on a pipeline system downstream of the barrier. The consequences of releasing pipeline pressure downstream to an unsuspecting maintenance crew go without stating. If the risks are so high as to demand not single, but double barrier isolation between the fury of pipeline pressure and the safety of personnel and equipment, why then has it been so difficult to develop a consensus for the definition or description of DBB systems? This paper will explore in detail the internationally published definitions for DBB and analyze their merits with respect to pipeline safety. Definitions from organizations such as the American Petroleum Institute (API), Occupational Health and Safety (OHSA), the International Standards Organization (ISO) will be reviewed to determine what they contribute or fail to contribute to the intent of worker protection. Some Provincial Governments have written specific requirements for pipeline isolation into law, while others do not address the matter. These issues will also be explored and compared to the practices of companies operating oil and gas pipelines. Some insight on the division of definitions is offered through an understanding of the purposes or needs of the definer. For example, a valve manufacturer with a need to demonstrate that his valve will indeed block flow from both directions and thereby permit maintenance of the valve without removal from the pipeline may not fully appreciate the pipeline maintenance employee’s need to isolate himself from pipeline pressure by two independent barriers. It will be shown that standards and specifications are available to support both perspectives and that there are compelling reasons for deriving commonality between these perspectives. With the development of International Standards for oil and gas pipelines and increasing emphasis on the harmonization of various national standards, matters such as operator safety must not be compromised. Interesting opportunities exist to revisit topics such as definitions for DBB and perhaps derive a set of words that allows consensus and encompasses the true intent of the concept.

Abstract:

As Ontario expands access to the COVID-19 vaccine beyond the Phase 1 priority populations, strategic planning and execution of mass vaccine rollout will have a significant impact on the health and safety of Ontario’s 14.5 million residents. There are six key elements of Israel’s successful COVID-19 vaccine campaign that can be readily applied to Ontario to expedite and expand the province’s vaccine rollout strategy: a simple vaccine prioritization process; modification to the transport, storage, and distribution of the vaccines; effective communication to promote vaccine confidence; decentralization of vaccination sites; centralized organization through Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) using a fully integrated information technology (IT) system in a universal health care system; and the engagement of community-based personnel, infrastructure, and resources.

Abstract:

Background. Policy leaders and researchers have identified a range of primary care spending conceptualizations, developed frameworks and methods for measuring primary care spending, and documented the pros and cons of different approaches. However, these efforts have not been comprehensive, particularly as the number of estimates has grown. We continue this work by identifying the definitions, data sources, and approaches used to estimate primary care spending in the United States. Our objective was to identify where there is and is not consensus across methods, and how initial steps toward a standardized approach to estimating primary care spending might be achieved. We approached this comparison from a societal economic perspective. Methods. Searches were conducted in Ovid MEDLINE® and Cochrane CENTRAL databases (inception to May 2, 2023), and were supplemented by manual reviews of reference lists, Scopus searches of key articles, gray literature searches of State and organization websites, and responses to a Federal Register Notice, as well as recommendations from Key Informants. Websites of States and organizations that produced reports were reviewed in November 2023 to identify updates. Publicly available estimates and reports of methods were supplemented by discussions with experts who have supported States’ estimates. Findings. We identified 67 primary care spending estimates for 2010 to 2021: 42 of these were produced by 11 State Governments for their State, 2 were published by the Veterans Health Administration, and 23 were published by researchers or other organizations, which include foundations and policy organizations. Forty-four estimates reported on primary care spending for a single State, one estimate reported spending for the New England States, and 22 reported national spending. To date, 13 State Governments have developed and/or are implementing measurements of primary care spending. When State Governments measure primary care spending, they produce regular, often yearly, estimates. States have produced one to eight estimates, demonstrating some States have more experience with this task than others. Primary care spending estimates in our sample ranged from 3.1 to 10.3 percent. These estimates started with definitions of primary care, which are often labeled narrow or broad. Estimates may use these same labels to mean different things. Narrow definitions of primary care usually include fewer providers, locations, or service types, while broad definitions include more. State, regional, or national estimates are either reported as two estimates, one using a narrow and one using a broad definition of primary care, or as a single estimate labeled neither narrow nor broad. Variations in what providers, services, and locations are included in definitions of primary care are significant and likely contribute to variation in primary care spending estimates. However, it is difficult to distinguish differences in definitions and measurement from differences in actual primary care spending. Conclusions. While there are some core similarities in how primary care spending is measured across State, regional, and national estimates, there are more differences. While there may be rationale behind some of these variations, this variation limits comparisons and what could be understood about the impact of policies. Furthermore, lack of clear, detailed reporting of methods can obscure precisely how and why estimates differ. Research is needed that quantifies the impact different decisions and measurement methods have on spending estimates. To assure the validity and reliability of estimates of primary care spending, and facilitate comparisons and links to health outcomes, Federal, State, and policy leaders need to: (1) collaborate to create a primary care clinician database that can function as a public utility for States to allow for more precise identification of primary care clinics and clinicians, and reduce reliance on Current Procedural Terminology/Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System codes; (2) develop a template for transparent reporting of methods used to estimate primary care spending; (3) foster collaboration among Federal agencies and State leaders to develop a consensus definition of primary care and process for estimating primary care spending, with consideration of methods that are easy to understand and transparent; and (4) support the development and ongoing maintenance of State All-Payer Claims Databases, expand to include nonclaims payments, and supply Medicare and Medicaid estimates for every State.

Abstract:

In recent years, environmental regulations have tightened and community involvement in environmental issues has increased. The pipeline industry has responded by attempting to reduce the negative economic and environmental impact of conventional air-cooled heat exchangers, which are characterized by high noise levels, excessive energy consumption, and high maintenance costs. While industry has had limited success in reducing air cooler noise using silencers and timed variable-speed fans, these solutions are costly. The most effective noise reduction method is to reduce or eliminate noise at its source. The primary goals of this investigation were to address key technical issues and to document natural draft aerial cooler (NDAC) design knowledge. The following objectives were identified: - Form a project team from PRCI-recommended aerial cooler manufacturers to design a quiet aerial cooler - Conduct technical and economic analyses to determine the actual operating needs and constraints of NDACs - Conduct market analyses to evaluate and identify the marketing issues associated with NDACs - Document the results of the project in a final report In recent years, the number of environmental permits mandating the use of natural draft aerial coolers to reduce noise has increased. Natural draft aerial cooler technology can potentially eliminate noise and improve operational energy efficiency. A broad group of applications could benefit from this technology, including natural gas, engine jacket water, auxiliary water, and engine lube oil cooling. With noise regulations and penalties becoming increasingly stringent, natural draft heat transfer technology is becoming more important. No organization has as yet fully investigated it. The technical and economic feasibility of NDACs were investigated for natural gas, engine jacket water, auxiliary water, and lube oil cooler applications.
