Abstract:

No abstract available. Article truncated after 150 words. Everyone is in favor of quality healthcare and improving it. However, to date, initially highly touted quality measures prove to be meaningless metrics in about 5-10 years. That is, when the measures are scientifically studied, they are found to be of little worth. The cycle is then repeated, i.e., new and highly touted measures are again selected and found to be useless in 5-10 years. The latest in this cycle may be the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid’s (CMS) Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). The theory underlying MIPS has been that paying for quality rather than quantity will incentivize healthcare providers to improve quality. As part of the deal creating the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) MIPS was established as a pay for performance system which promised to improve healthcare while reducing costs. However, healthcare costs have continued to rise (2). Data on improvement in quality has been lacking. Now, Bond …

Abstract:

Purpose Healthcare service quality in the USA has gained importance under value-based payment models. Providing feedback to front-line staff is a vital component of managing service performance, but complex organizational dynamics can prevent effective communication. This work explored the performance management of appointment desk staff at Mayo Clinic Arizona, identified barriers to effective management and sought to standardize the process for monitoring service performance. Design/methodology/approach Multiple data sources, including qualitative inquiry with 31 employees from the primary care and surgery departments, were used. The research was conducted in two phases – facilitated roundtable discussions with supervisors and semi-structured interviews with supervisors and staff six months after implementation of service standards. Participants were probed for attitudes about the service standards and supervisor feedback after implementation. Findings While all staff indicated a positive work environment, there was an unexpected and pervasive negative stigma surrounding individual feedback from one’s supervisor. Half the participants indicated there had been no individual feedback regarding the service standards from the supervisor. Presenting service standards in a simple, one-page format, signed by both supervisor and the patient service representative (PSR), was well received. Originality/value Combining rapid-cycle quality improvement methodology with qualitative inquiry allowed efficient development of role-specific service standards and quick evaluation of their implementation. This unique approach for improving healthcare service quality and identifying barriers to providing individual feedback may be useful to organizations navigating a more value- and consumer-driven healthcare market.

Abstract:

Inequality of access and quality of health services across countries is an urgent global issue. Especially in developing countries, the challenge of providing quality health services is a serious problem. This article explains the role of “health diplomacy” through international service in improving the delivery of health services across borders through community engagement. The aim of this research is to explore how health diplomacy through the involvement of the international community can improve the delivery of health services across countries. We seek to identify effective strategies to facilitate international health cooperation and improve access and quality of health services in the countries involved. This research uses the Community Based Research (CBR) method with a mixed approach involving document analysis, case studies, and interviews with international health stakeholders. We analyze health diplomacy initiatives involving the international community in various country contexts and analyze their impact on the delivery of health services across countries. The research results show that health diplomacy through the involvement of the international community can play a key role in improving the delivery of health services across countries. Well-coordinated international collaboration can help countries share medical knowledge, resources, and technology. This has the potential to increase access to quality health care and reduce health inequalities between countries. Health diplomacy through international service and community engagement can be an effective tool in improving the delivery of health services across borders. This collaboration encourages joint efforts to address global health problems, opens the door to closer cooperation between countries, and has the potential to improve access and quality of health services throughout the world.

Abstract:

The US healthcare system has been facing pressures from stakeholders to reduce costs and improve quality. The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual model to illustrate the approaches used in healthcare quality management (Continuous Quality Improvement/Total Quality Management, Lean, and Six Sigma) weaved into the underlying framework of scientific management theory. This paper employs scientific management theory to explain the healthcare quality tenets that influence the quality of care in our healthcare organizations. The father of scientific management, Frederick Taylor, and other key contributors collectively created scientific management principles, which are widely used for quality improvement purposes both in the engineering and the healthcare field. Healthcare quality is also discussed with examples of the application of scientific management principles. Shared themes between scientific management principles and healthcare quality tenets, as given in CQI/TQM, Six Sigma-Lean, and Donabedian Model, were developed. To understand the three pillars of quality (structure, process, outcome) in relation to the underpinnings of scientific management principles, we incorporated insights of scientific management theory into Donabedian’s healthcare quality model. It is recommended that selection of personnel play a more significant role among human resources practices in organizations; strategy formulation must include a careful assessment of organizations’ strengths and weaknesses with regard to continuous quality improvement, with organizations striving to achieve standardization to attain efficiency and reduce costs.

Abstract:

Improving the quality of patient care, generally referred to as Quality Improvement (QI), is a constant mission of healthcare. Although QI initiatives take many forms, these typically involve collecting data to measure whether changes to procedures have been made as planned, and whether those changes have achieved the expected outcomes. In principle, such data are used to measure the success of a QI initiative and make further changes if needed. In practice, however, many QI data reports provide only limited insight into changes that could improve patient care. Redesigning standard approaches to QI data can help close the gap between current norms and the potential of QI data to improve patient care. This paper describes our study of QI data needs among healthcare providers and managers at Vancouver Coastal Health, a regional health system in Canada. We present an overview of challenges faced by healthcare providers around QI data collection and visualization, and illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of different visualizations. At present, user– centred and evidence–based design is practically unknown in healthcare QI, and thus offers an important new contribution.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the results of exploratory research designed to develop an awareness of healthcare behaviors, with a view toward improving the customer satisfaction with healthcare services. It examines the relationship between healthcare providers and their consumers/patients/clients. Design/methodology/approach – The study uses a critical incident methodology, with both effective and ineffective behavioral specimens examined across different provider groups. Findings – The effects of these different behaviors on what Berry (1999) identified as the common core values of service organizations are examined, as those values are required to build a lasting service relationship. Also examined are categories of healthcare practice based on the National Quality Strategy priorities. Research limitations/implications – The most obvious is the retrospective nature of the method used. How accurate are patient or consumer memories? Are they capable of making valid judgments of healthcare experiences (Berry and Bendapudi, 2003)? While an obvious limitation, such recollections are clearly important as they may be paramount in following the healthcare practitioners’ instructions, loyalty for repeat business, making recommendations to others and the like. Further, studies have shown retrospective reports to be accurate and useful (Miller et al., 1997). Practical implications – With this information, healthcare educators should be in a better position to improve the training offered in their programs and practitioners to better serve their customers. Social implications – The findings would indicate that the human values of excellence, innovation, joy, respect and integrity play a significant role in building a strong service relationship between consumer and healthcare provider. Originality/value – Berry (1999) has argued that the overriding importance in building a lasting service business is human values. This exploratory study has shown how critical incident analysis can be used to determine both effective and ineffective practices of different medical providers. It also provides guidelines as to what are effective and ineffective behaviors in healthcare.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe a quality improvement (QI) intervention in primary health facilities providing childbirth care in rural Southern Tanzania. Design/methodology/approach A QI collaborative model involving district managers and health facility staff was piloted for 6 months in 4 health facilities in Mtwara Rural district and implemented for 18 months in 23 primary health facilities in Ruangwa district. The model brings together healthcare providers from different health facilities in interactive workshops by: applying QI methods to generate and test change ideas in their own facilities; using local data to monitor improvement and decision making; and health facility supervision visits by project and district mentors. The topics for improving childbirth were deliveries and partographs. Findings Median monthly deliveries increased in 4 months from 38 (IQR 37-40) to 65 (IQR 53-71) in Mtwara Rural district, and in 17 months in Ruangwa district from 110 (IQR 103-125) to 161 (IQR 148-174). In Ruangwa health facilities, the women for whom partographs were used to monitor labour progress increased from 10 to 57 per cent in 17 months. Research limitations/implications The time for QI innovation, testing and implementation phases was limited, and the study only looked at trends. The outcomes were limited to process rather than health outcome measures. Originality/value Healthcare providers became confident in the QI method through engagement, generating and testing their own change ideas, and observing improvements. The findings suggest that implementing a QI initiative is feasible in rural, low-income settings.

Abstract:

Although there are numerous quality of care frameworks, little attention has been given to the essential concepts that encompass quality mental healthcare. HealthCare CAN and the Mental Health Commission of Canada co-lead the Quality Mental Health Care Network (QMHCN), which has developed a quality mental healthcare framework, building on existing provincial, national, and international frameworks. HealthCare CAN conducted an environmental scan, key informant interviews, and focus groups with individuals with lived experiences to develop the framework. This article outlines the findings from this scan, interviews and focus groups.

Abstract:

Background: The quality of healthcare system in any country is essential for the wellbeing of its population. Improving the quality of the healthcare sector would lead to a healthier population and thus more productive nation and stronger economy. The level of healthcare quality depends on both economic and non-economic factors. Addressing the level of effect these factors on healthcare quality would facilitate policy makers’ tasks in achieving that goal.Method: This study is based on the 2019 data of 29 countries that adapt single-payer healthcare system. Pearson correlation matrix is used to examine the relation of a number of variables with healthcare quality, measured by life expectancy, in these countries.Results: The results from this research showed that literacy rate, digital adaptation, pollution level, corruption level, healthcare expenditure (HE) per capita, GDP per capita, healthcare expenditure as a percentage of GDP all showed a strong relation at the 99% confidence level while the number of physicians per 1000 showed statistically significant relation with healthcare quality at the 95% confidence level. While all factors showed direct relation, pollution and corruption showed an inverse relation.Conclusions: Improving the quality of the healthcare sector is the goal of any government since it would lead to better and stronger economy. While economic factors play a role in achieving that goal, other non-economic factors can also have the same effect in achieving that goal.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how geomarketing statical tools (notably, gravitational models) can support healthcare organisations to improve the quality of their services. Design/methodology/approach Geomarketing tools were applied to the analysis of data (91,478 observations) concerning the performance of nuclear magnetic resonance. Findings Geomarketing models can support and enhance the planning of service provisions of healthcare organisations. Drawing the planning actions on the patient needs and actual behaviours allow the healthcare organisations to obtain better market performance. Practical implications The results support the health service planning activities related to covering the so-called “offer gaps”. Originality/value This is the first study to apply geomarketing to improve the quality of healthcare services.

Abstract:

Quality assurance has assumed increasing attention over the past years as various stakeholders appreciate that improving healthcare system and patient outcome is not practically possible without improving the quality of medical education, and in turn the medical curricula across different medical colleges. The growing climate of public accountability in healthcare education and social responsibility to justify allocated funds makes medical education institutes liable to demonstrate that their training programmes meet the desired quality standards.

Abstract:

Healthcare is a business service that offers acute, chronic, and preventive medical care to people in the community. The demand is known to rise each year, along with higher expectations and awareness among patients about healthcare quality and its outcomes. Quality is one of the main determinants of satisfaction in healthcare. If these aspects are not met, the delivery of services must begin with the patient once. They could move to another healthcare provider that can satisfy their needs. This condition pushes healthcare service providers to pay attention to all representative patients through process improvement, structural change, or the purchase of new technologies, equipment, and treatment systems. These efforts by healthcare providers can lead to an increase in patient satisfaction and improvement in healthcare outcomes. The establishment and proof of effectiveness of a good communication structure, feedback, and patient satisfaction as components of healthcare quality should be identified, followed by an analysis of their interrelationships.

This project was undertaken to explore the journey to productivity improvement by a local hospital. The hospital recently implemented two process improvement tools, 5S and TQM. The project assessed the company’s adoption level of the two implemented lean tools, as well as assessing how the implementation impacted productivity and service delivery at the hospital. Current performance levels were also established in an endeavor to find if indeed what is reported is actually what is happening at the hospital. Results indicate that the implemented process improvement tools, 5S and TQM, did not produce the desired results.
