  • Revisiting Accountability Concept and Practices in Makassar, Indonesia (A Study on 2 Private and Public Hospitals)
    Revisiting Accountability Concept and Practices in Makassar, Indonesia (A Study on 2 Private and Public Hospitals) Indrianty Sudirman1, Andi Indahwaty Sidin2, dan Nurdjanah Hamid3 {[email protected]} Universitas Hasanuddin, Indonesia1, 2, 3 Abstract. Public and private hospitals have their own characteristics and uniqueness in their management. This research aims to develop an accountability model of public and private hospitals that are able to meet the interests of multi-stakeholders, especially in the era of health service reform. The result shows that the management system in the Public Hospital tends to be systematic and measurable compared to the Private Hospital which tends to be more independent. Keywords: Accountability, Public and Private Hospitals, Health Care Reformation 1 Introduction Hospital accountability is important to accommodate changes and pressures in healthcare reform [1][2][3][4][5], especially with the existence of a national health financing institution whose role is to control accountable health management for multi stakeholders [3][6]. Accountability reporting policies of government agencies are still generic and vertical. Accountability literature is still traditional because it focuses more on vertical accountability and financial aspects, therefore it is less effective in assessing hospital accountability in accordance with the demands of the New Public Management [7][8]. In Indonesia, the adoption of Presidential Regulation No. 12 on National Health Insurance can have implications for hospital quality, ethics, and management. There is no specific and comprehensive mechanism and dimension of accountability assessment for hospitals even though an accountable hospital can provide effective, efficient and equitable health services. Government and private hospitals have their own characteristics and uniqueness in its management.

  • International Healthcare Accreditation: an Analysis of Clinical Quality and Patient Experience in the UAE
    International Healthcare Accreditation: an Analysis of Clinical Quality and Patient Experience in the UAE Subashnie Devkaran, FACHE, MScHCM, BSc (Physiotherapy), CPHQ, Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2014 The copyright in this thesis is owned by the author. Any quotation from the thesis or use of any of the information contained in it must acknowledge this thesis as the source of the quotation or information. I ABSTRACT A mixed method research design was used to answer the question; ‘does accreditation have an impact on hospital quality, clinical measures and patient experience?’ The thesis contains three study components: 1) A case study determining the predictors of patient experience; 2) a cross-sectional study examining the relationship of hospital accreditation and patient experience and 3) A four year time series analysis of the impact of accreditation on hospital quality using 27 quality measures. A case study analysis of patient experience, using a piloted, validated and reliable survey tool, was conducted in Al Noor Hospital. The survey was administered via face- to-face interviews to 391 patients. Patient demographic variables, stay characteristics and patient experience constructs were tested against five patient experience outcome measures using regression analysis. The predictors of positive patient experience were the patient demographics (age, nationality, and health status), hospital stay characteristics (length of stay and hospital treatment outcome) and patient experience constructs (care from nurses, care from doctors, cleanliness, pain management and quality of food). Recommendations were made on how hospital managers can improve patient experience using these modifiable factors.

  • Arizona Pain and Addiction Curriculum Faculty Guide
    THE ARIZONA PAIN AND ADDICTION CURRICULUM FACULTY GUIDE UNDERGRADUATE HEALTH PROFESSIONAL EDITION 1 THE ARIZONA PAIN AND ADDICTION CURRICULUM FACULTY GUIDE | azhealth.gov/curriculum September 1, 2018 Dear Teaching Faculty: It is our pleasure to offer this Faculty Guide as a supplement to The Arizona Pain and Addiction Curriculum. Whether your program is educating future physicians, nurses, physician-assistants, dentists, naturopathic doctors or podiatrists – this Faculty Guide can be used to enhance the statewide vision of redefining pain and addiction. The essence of the curriculum rests with its ten Core Components – this Faculty Guide provides a further level of detail under each Component and Objective. As colleagues in health care, we understand that this material represents a significant change from the way we were taught about pain and addiction – or the way we were taught about medicine at all. This curriculum moves from a micro- to a macro- perspective, stressing whole-person care and the societal impact of pain and addiction. It reflects the interrelated nature of pain and addiction – two areas that have been traditionally siloed. It specifically calls for clinicians to be able to critically analyze material, their own practices, and their own biases. The approach to pain and addiction is advancing rapidly. The material in this Faculty Guide is aggressively up-to-date and evidence-based, yet remains in line with the National Pain Strategy, the Institute of Medicine and modern educational theories. As our understanding of pain and addiction changes, so too will this document. We are proud to have worked with programs’ leadership to develop this curriculum and are now excited to work with you to bring it to Arizona learners.

    An Overview on High Health Care Costs in the US, Overdiagnosis, and Health Care Value Michael Tjahjadi, M.D. James Stallworth, M.D. Disclosures Neither Dr. Tjahjadi nor Dr. Stallworth has any financial incentives or relationships to disclose. The Healthcare System of the US We may have heard the phrases: Our healthcare system is broken Our spending in healthcare is unsustainable The US spends 2.5 times as much on health care as peer nations Yet some US outcomes trail peer nations Highest infant mortality rate Highest obesity rate US worst among high income countries when measured by specific population health outcomes Fairbrother et al, Pediatrics, June 2015 Ice-Breaker Question Is it too conflictual to ask clinicians to be cost-conscious and at the same time keep the welfare of the patient foremost in their minds? Yes No It depends Illustrative Case #1 15 year old AA male with SS trait presents with a 20 pound weight loss over 3 months despite an “ok” appetite. No change in bowel habits, no fever. He denies sexual activity and drug use, no history of blood transfusions and no other symptoms. He denies being depressed. On PE, he is quite thin with decreased subcutaneous tissue. His VS are stable but a HR of 110. He has no thrush, lymphadenopathy or HSM. He is Tanner 3. His exam is otherwise non revealing. From a health care value perspective, would you order an HIV?
