Background. Adeno-/tonsillectomy is a commonly performed procedure with internationally standardised and recognised indications. Despite this, there exists considerable international (190 - 850/100 000 people ≤19 years of age) and regional variation in adeno-/tonsillectomy rates. This variation has been ascribed to differences in clinical practice and referral patterns, as well as social and family factors, rather than differences in clinical need or regional morbidity. Objectives. To describe the adeno-/tonsillectomy rate in the South African private healthcare sector, and regional variations

South Africa experiences a steady loss of skilled workers, which compromises the provision of healthcare in the country. This study has explored and will outline the main factors that influence the decision of South African healthcare professionals to either remain with or leave their organisations. As migration involves both internal and external movement, the public sector is frequently overburdened as healthcare workers additionally tend to prefer working in the private sector with its offers of better financial incentives and better working conditions. That said, it has become apparent tha

Globally, higher healthcare demand strains existing systems, already overburdened by a lack of resources and funding while longer life expectancy and increased disease burden force higher patient loads.

When this happens, emergency centres suffer from overcrowding and long patient waiting times, which increases morbidity and mortality, associated patient risk. Moreover, critical resource

Defining health, healthcare and health provision are contentious issues, and public debate rages on as governments throughout the world attempt to quell public demands and expectations.

Thesis (MTech (Information Technology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018.<br>Healthcare facilities in South Africa accumulate big data, daily. However, this data is not being utilised to its full potential. The healthcare sector still uses traditional methods to store, process, and analyse data. Currently, there are no big data analytics tools being used in the South African healthcare environment. This study was conducted to establish what factors hinder the effective use of big data in the South African healthcare environment. To fulfil the objectives of this research, qualita

Healthcare today has become a competitive industry, not only locally, but on a global level as well. In the South African economy the healthcare sector presently offers healthcare seekers two options to satisfy their healthcare needs – either through private business enterprises in the private sector or public enterprises in the public sector. Likewise, in the healthcare sector's hospital environment, patients can receive treatment from either private or public hospitals. As private business enterprises offering a relatively 'pure', but generally unsought-after service, private hospitals compe

A critical care unit is a dynamic and highly technological environment. Professional nurses who have been working in the critical care unit for a period of time are passionate about the environment in which they work. They find their on duty time challenging and stimulating. The critical care environment is slowly changing. Due to the fact that there are fewer professional nurses with an additional qualification in critical care available to work in the critical care units. The utilisation of an increasing number of agency nurses leads to an increase in sub-standard nursing care as well as dis

Thesis (MCurr)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In South Africa, currently enrolled nurses make up the largest proportion of members of the nursing healthcare team. As in direct contact with patients it is essential that the practice environment supports patient and nursing outcomes. Studies confirm the complexity of the practice environment and the impact on both personnel and on the quality of nursing care provided. Job satisfaction is integrally linked to the quality and safety of care provided. The scarcity of registered professional nurses, particularly in the Sou

Organisations are employing computer-assisted learning to fulfil this requirement. It was observed that staff experienced challenges such as technical difficulties, insufficient computer literacy, lack of opportunity and access to complete computer-assisted learning activities in a private healthcare organisation. These challenges may have implications for the effective learning and development of registered professional nurses. The aim of the study was t

Telemedicine can also provide specialist support and remote consultation to facilities where there is a lack of resources. In South Africa, where a large percentage of the population live in rural and remote areas, telemedicine has the potential to alleviate the burden on national health resources, whilst improving the quality of healthcare.

Owing to this, there is a growing number of new players in the non-profit organisation (NPO) sector, which has given rise to intense competition for donor funding. More so, the global economic crisis of 2008 resulted in reduction and uncertainty in funding and philanthropic income. The environment in which NPOs operate is no longer favourable especially considering the intense competition for donations. Th

These behavioural, developmental and environmental issues may contribute to premature morbidity, mortality and reduced quality of life for university students (Patrick et al., 1992:260).
