Abstract:

Healthcare data can contain sensitive, personal, and confidential information that should remain secure. Despite the efforts to protect patient data, security breaches occur and may result in fraud, identity theft, and other damages. Grounded in the theoretical backdrop of integrated system theory, the purpose of this study was to determine the association between data privacy breaches, data storage locations, business associates, covered entities, and number of individuals affected. Study data consisted of secondary breach information retrieved from the Department of Health and Human Services

Abstract:

Whereas there are various initiatives to standardize the storage, processing and use of electronic patient information in the South African health sector, the sector is fragmented through the adoption of various approaches on national, provincial and district levels. Divergent IT systems are used in the public and private health sectors (“Recommendations of the Committee on …” 2003). Furthermore, general practitioners in some parts of the country still use paper as a primary means of documentation and storage. Nonetheless, the use of computerized systems is increasing, even in the most remote

Electronic Health records are an important part of a digital healthcare system.

Thesis (MCur)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Agency-nursing work refers to nursing services provided by agency nurses employed on a casual, contracted basis. Agency-nursing has become more common in nursing practice in South Africa. This group of nurses play a significant role within the health care industry for both public and private sector. Given the pivotal role that nurses play in caring for the health of others, it is important to understand what motivates agency nurses in terms of job satisfaction. The aim of the study was to explore the perceptions of agen

Abstract:

Little is known about the role of the private sector in low and middle income countries moving towards universal health coverage (UHC). This thesis presents a case study of the role of the private sector (health maintenance organisations (HMOs) and healthcare providers) in the national health financing system in Nigeria. The analysis draws on both economic and policy analysis theories and frameworks. The analysis of the policy development process for national health insurance in Nigeria reveals that private sector actors and the political context influenced the pace and outcome of the policy-m

Abstract:

This thesis is based on a journey towards developing team working within a primary healthcare setting which enabled the NHS agenda for primary care service delivery to keep pace with the government modernisation agenda. (Department of Health, 1997). Initially the focus was on the development of an integrated nursing team which enabled all disciplines of nurses to work towards a patient focussed healthcare service, but it soon became evident that all staff involved in delivering the primary healthcare service were essential to the process and developments of the enquiry if the objective was to

Abstract:

Value of Care can be expressed in an equation, whereby the numerator, outcomes, represents the Clinical Outcome of a care episode whilst the denominator, cost, refers to total Cost of the Clinical Event. PatientÕs Experience is acknowledged as contributing to value creation in healthcare, alongside clinical effectiveness (outcomes as a function of cost), but its impact remains understudied. Multiple stakeholders are at play in healthcare, including the consumer (patient) and provider (doctor). Oftentimes, stakeholders in healthcare have conflicting goals.

Abstract:

This study aims to analyse the location choices made by private primary healthcare providers as a result of the Primary Care Choice Reform. This will be done by analysing a unique dataset covering all new private primary healthcare providers during the time period of 2008 to 2018 in Sweden’s 290 municipalities. In order to examine the probability of a private primary healthcare provider locating in a given municipality, two logit regression models based on the year 2018 containing the number of private primary healthcare providers as the dependent variable, will be used for the empirical analy

Abstract:

Implementing policy change is notoriously difficult, often marred by chronic delays or outright failure to achieve its originally desired mandate. This challenge drew the attention of many scholars who, over the years, published many studies attempting to describe and analyse what the policy change process looks like and most notably, strategies on how to better manage it. However, most of these studies tacitly committed themselves to strategic issues of managing change from a policy-maker s perspective, with very little consideration of what the change process actually looks and feels
