Abstract:

One of the central challenges for the healthcare system today is how to manage care for patients with complex needs. This patient group is not well-defined but covers patients with serious diseases and comorbidities, or with a limited ability to perform basic daily functions due to physical, mental or psychosocial challenges. This group has a high service and resource utilisation resulting in high costs for the healthcare system and, typically, poor health outcomes. To improve care for these patients, it is necessary to implement strategies to manage the differentiated care needs, the addition

Delay along the pathway to care is not a mere reflection of organization of health care and referral systems but also of availability and accessibilty of services. Studies have shown associations between delay and various sociodemographic, clinical and service related factors. Understanding the pathway to psychiatric care, and recognition od delay points along the pathway, is a crucial step for the development of interventio

Abstract:

Modern healthcare has moved to a focus on providing patient centric care rather than disease centred care. This new approach is provided by a unique care team which is formed to treat a patient. At the start of the treatment, the care team decide on the treatment pathway for the patient. This is a series of treatment stages where at the end of each stage, the care team use the patient’s current condition to decide whether the treatment moves to the next stage, continues in the treatment stage, or moves to an unanticipated stage. The initial treatment pathway for each patient is based on the cl

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to determine if the use of an Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) was associated with more positive outcomes than traditional methods of care. The effectiveness of the ICP had not previously been tested (in relation to traditional methods of care) to determine if it made any difference, at a patient, staff or system (healthcare organisation) level. In February 2001 (as part of the NHS modernisation agenda) the gynaecology services within one UK city were re-organised and two separate units were merged into one new larger unit.

Background: Integrated Care Pathways (ICPs) are prearranged processes of care which are being increasingly used to deliver mental health services.

Babies who die in neonatal care are not included appropriately and research should consider all babies simultaneously, irrespective of whether they live or die 2. The different levels of neonatal care (intensive, high dependency and special care) and how they contribute towards overall length of stay have not been considered This thesis contains four inter-connected studies to investigate how statistical approaches can h

Abstract:

The thesis grew out of the recognition that there is a dearth of information on the users of mental health services. It set out to describe the characteristics of users across a range of health settings and to consider the role of such characteristics in the mental health referral process. The early phases of this research project were strongly influenced by a model of the referral process developed by Goldberg & Huxley (1980). They conceptualized users of health care existing on 5 levels ranging from people living in the community to users in hospital. Hypothetical filters are said to operate

Associations between low functional or health literacy and poorer health outcomes have been established in the research literature but studies have included participants whose low literacy may be obvious to healthcare p

Methodological limitations, clinical implications are discussed and recommendations for future research are made.

A modern conceptualization of psychotic disorders is as neurodevelopmental disorders, with different stages characterized by discrete clusters of symptoms. This conceptualization includes a stage of pre-psychotic prodrome, a target of contemporary research as an attempt to intervene before the development of psychosis. However, these at-risk individuals rarely present to the mental health services before transitioning into psychosis, even more so for male patients. In this study, a method of inductive thematic analysis has been employed to inquire into the pathways to care for young men at Ult

Abstract:

A review of the literature showed that Black and minority ethnic (BME) communities carry a disproportionately higher burden of illness than the general population and experience greater inequalities in health and health care provision. A growing body of research confirms that BME groups are under-represented in research. The main objective of the present study was to gain insights into the perspectives of BME community groups' experiences of accessing general and sexual health care services in Ayrshire. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 participants, n = 5 men (age range: 32-65

Abstract:

Childcare programs that provide high quality care can strengthen children's early development. One component of a quality program is having providers who are knowledgeable in child development; however, despite the understanding of these known predictors of child development, Wyoming does not require childcare providers to complete any training before beginning to work with children. Guided by the constructivist theories of Piaget, Vygotsky, Dewey, and Bruner, this objectives-based program evaluation investigated the Pathways to Professional Development program to determine participants' perce
