Abstract:
Globally, the advancement of mobile technology and the growing number of mobile phone users has promoted the boom in mobile health services. The influence of mobile technology has, in fact, made healthcare delivery more accessible, affordable and effective today. Consumers are thus increasingly using mobile devices as health service delivery aids across various countries. However, questions remain as to how consumer traits like personal innovativeness and self-efficacy, financial costs related to the service delivery and demographics like age and gender may affect the usage and adoption of mobile health services, especially for emerging economies like Bangladesh. Conceptual model of the study identifies self-efficacy, facilitating conditions, effort expectancy and performance expectancy to be significant constructs that influences users' overall perceptions of mobile health services, along with moderating effects of both age and gender upon the selected factors. Finally, the study highlights managerial implications, future research directions and limitations.

Abstract:
It is critical that health service evaluation frameworks include Aboriginal people and their cultural worldviews from design to implementation. During a large participatory action research study, Elders, service leaders and Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal researchers co-designed evaluation tools to test the efficacy of a previously co-designed engagement framework. Through a series of co-design workshops, tools were built using innovative collaborative processes that foregrounded Aboriginal worldviews. The workshops resulted in the development of a three-way survey that records the service experiences related to cultural safety from the perspective of Aboriginal clients, their carer/s, and the service staff with whom they work. The surveys centralise the role of relationships in client-service interactions, which strongly reflect their design from an Aboriginal worldview. This paper provides new insights into the reciprocal benefits of engaging community Elders and service leaders to work together to develop new and more meaningful ways of servicing Aboriginal families. Foregrounding relationships in service evaluations reinstates the value of human connection and people-centred engagement in service delivery which are central to rebuilding historically fractured relationships between mainstream services and Aboriginal communities. This benefits not only Aboriginal communities, but also other marginalised populations expanding the remit of mainstream services to be accessed by many.

Abstract:
SUMMARYAims – To start a process of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) in an Italian Community Mental Health Service by using a quality assurance questionnaire in a self audit exercise. Methods – The questionnaire was administered to 14 key workers and clinical managers with different roles and seniority. One senior manager's evaluation was used as a benchmark for all the others. Changes were introduced in the service practice according to what emerged from the evaluation. Meetings were scheduled to monitor those changes and renew the CQI process. Results – There was a wide difference in the key workers' answers. Overall, the senior manager's evaluation was on the 60th percentile of the distribution of the other evaluations. Those areas that required prompt intervention were risk management, personnel development, and CQI. The CQI process was followed up for one year: some interventions were carried out to change the practice of the service. Conclusions – A self audit exercise in Community Mental Health Services was both feasible and useful. The CQI process was easier to start than to carry on over the long term.

Abstract:
Introduction: Health services are that part of the health system, which focuses specifically on the provision of health care services in the society. A health system includes a complex set of structural relationships between populations and institutions that have an impact on health. Purpose: This review aims to investigate the relationship between the quality of health services and health in general. Methodology: The study material consisted of recent articles on the subject found mainly in the Medline electronic database and the Hellenic Academic Libraries Association (HEAL- Link). Results: Certain dimensions of health service quality, such as consistency, completeness, and effectiveness, are also difficult to be measured, apart from the subjective evaluation by the client. But even subjective evaluation by the client can be difficult and the results will be different from the evaluation of services done by other parties, such as health professionals. While the latter evaluate the design and delivery of the service, the customers evaluate the service based on their overall perception of its provision. Conclusions: The continuous monitoring of health services for quality evaluation is very important, in such extent that the evaluation of patients' perceptions of the quality of health care, has received significant attention in recent years.

Abstract:
AbstractObjectives: To assess patient satisfaction with mental health services. Client satisfaction with mental health services is attracting increasing attention and is now considered a key outcome variable in evaluating mental health services. The Quality Framework (Mental Health Commission (MHC)), and Vision for Change (VFC) support such evaluation. However, there are no published quantitative data from Irish users of a community mental health service.Method: We invited outpatients attending a Dublin community mental health service to complete a standardised self-report instrument (Client Satisfaction Questionnaire, CSQ-8) and provide qualitative feedback.Results: Of the seventy-nine respondents, 80% report they were ‘satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ with the service. However, they were critical of; access to, operation of, and communication with the mental health services.Conclusions: Although satisfied, when given the opportunity to comment, service users can be critical of aspects of the service they receive. Only using quantitative evaluation of outpatient client satisfaction levels may fail to capture important consumer suggestions for service development. Recent recommendations and upcoming changes would address a number of the criticisms of mental health services identified in this study.

Abstract:
Shared care projects involve cooperation between general practitioners, specialist health professionals, and education and support services, to ensure clients receive optimal assessment, treatment and support. The Melbourne Division of General Practitioners Diabetes Service provided shared care to improve the care of patients with diabetes mellitus and reduce the incidence of complications. An evaluation of the Service was conducted using a database of 847 client records maintained by the Service and a survey of 35 GPs and 134 clients. Analysis of the client database indicated a positive trend for improved physical outcomes of clients attending the Service. Survey findings showed GPs and clients attributed improved patient attitude and knowledge of diabetes to the Service. Although GPs and clients were satisfied with the Service, GPs with more positive attitudes were more likely to be interested in placements and case discussions with other health professionals, and more often attributed an improved GP/patient relationship to the Service. The study highlights the need for integrated diabetes care to include partnerships between Divisions of General Practice, community health services, specialists and hospital service providers. It also shows the need to integrate referral and reporting systems, database management, GP services, diabetes education and allied health with hospital based services.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the active health Ombudsman service as an instrument to evaluate the quality of delivery and birth care in the Cegonha Network of the Federal District of Brazil. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study of the telephone survey type carried out with 1,007 mothers with deliveries between October 15, 2013 and November 19, 2013 in the twelve public maternity hospitals that make up the Cegonha Network of the Federal District of Brazil. The instrument has 25 multiple choice or Likert scale questions, including sociodemographic data and acceptability evaluation in five domains: accessibility, relationship between the patient and health professionals, conditions of the structure of the service, information to the patient, and equity and opinion of the patient. We have studied qualitative or categorical variables according to the frequency and distribution of proportions. We have used the score transformed into a scale from zero to 100 for the analysis of the Likert-type scale questions. Results have been expressed as mean and standard deviation. RESULTS: Access to prenatal appointments was evaluated as good or excellent by 86.1% of the participants and laboratory tests was evaluated as good or excellent by 85.2% of them. The access to imaging tests was evaluations as good or excellent by 45.7% of the women; 79.5% of the interviewees had their delivery in the maternity hospital where they sought initial care and 18.3% received a home visit by a community health agent after discharge. Most women reported that newborns were placed skin-to-skin immediately after birth, 48.9% had a companion at the time of the delivery, 76.3% were advised about the first appointment of the newborn, and 94.8% were advised on breastfeeding in the maternity hospital. Regarding the evaluation of health professionals, 85.9% of the women considered reception and cordiality as good or excellent at the prenatal care and 94.8% considered it as good or excellent at the maternity hospital. CONCLUSIONS: The active health Ombudsman service has contributed to evaluate the quality of public management by allowing the incorporation of the perspective of users of the health service in the evaluation of the acceptability of the Cegonha Network in the Federal District of Brazil.

Abstract:
This research explores the contribution which systems theories, methodologies and models can make in the design and application of effective performance-evaluation processes. Approaches to performance assessment of organisations are reviewed, and the history and structure of the NHS, its objectives, and dimensions for evaluation are described. Drawing on questionnaire and interview data from health service and civil service staff, and secondary data, current performance evaluation and planning processes in the NHS are described and some problems identified. To test the hypothesis that attention to systemic factors could improve performance evaluation, eight topics are analysed by the application of systems methodologies or models. Four of the topic and methodology or model combinations have received detailed analysis: 1. Making and implementing strategic plans; the Open University's Hard Systems Methodology. 2. Controlling NHS performance through structure and process, e. g. the use of annual reviews, performance indicators; double-loop learning and cybernetic control model. 3. Improving the quality of NHS care; Stafford Beer's Viable System Model. 4. Assessing performance through the outcomes of care; Peter Checkland's Soft Systems Methodology. The areas studied in less detail are: 5. Planning for uncertainty and complexity; 6. Issues related to the politics of health; 7. Reducing the length of waiting lists and times; 8. Planning for health (health promotion and the prevention of ill health).

Abstract:
The research aim was to evaluate whether it is possible to reliably measure change in health and safety performance when a formal health and safety intervention is introduced to the UK healthcare sector.  The research methodology and design was informed by a review of relevant literature.  Field study data was generated using a six-point design.  This included: use of a before-and-after (longitudinal) design, use of comparison groups; use of an intervention that was of interest to participating NHS Trusts, use of a participative style which involved the participating Trusts; use of multiple measurement methods and multiple indicators of effectiveness. Seven NHS Trusts participated; two of which were a control group.  The intervention was health and safety management workbook, introduced only to the test group.  Evaluation of the impact of the workbook on health and safety performance involved two identical phases, the second approximately twelve months after the first.  Each phase consisted of a staff opinion questionnaire survey, based on previously validated work; and a new Health and Safety Executive (HSE) methodology involving management root cause analysis plus cost estimations of incident data. There was wide variation in the numbers of incidents reported within each Trust, although the mean difference between phases was not significant (P<0.1).  There was no significant difference between the test and control Trusts (P=0.05).  Incident rates were in broad agreement with official HSC data, so far as fatal/major injury rates wee concerned, although there was less agreement for minor incidents. These results suggested that Trust reporting culture may be linked to overall reporting rates but that captured incidents, (which met the project inclusion criteria and therefore represented more serious incidents), were independent of reporting rate, size and type of Trust.  The use of incident reporting rates as benchmarking indicators should therefore be used with caution until further work can be carried out to clarify the nature and scope of their limitations.  There is also a need to clarify to relationship between major and minor incidents and whether they share similar root causes.  This would help to establish whether recording only the more serious incidents with selective root cause analysis would be more cost effective than the processing and analysis of large numbers of incident reports.

Abstract:
As required by the Master of Philosophy (Applied Epidemiology) program I completed a field placement in the Strategic Investment, Data and Evaluation Section in the Indigenous Health Division, Australian Government Department of Health. Following the introduction chapter (chapter 1), this thesis contains three projects, which aimed to: 1) explore the performance of health organisations providing social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB) services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (chapter 2); 2) analyse the relationships between health organisations’ cultural safety policies and the uptake of Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS) health assessments among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients (chapter 3); and 3) describe and the characteristics of inpatients who acquired vanA vancomycin-resistant enterococci and compare the characteristics of inpatients with vanA versus vanB sterile site infections at the John Hunter and Calvary Mater Newcastle hospitals in Newcastle, New South Wales (chapter 4). My first project was a national survey of SEWB service delivery in 2014-15 using a quantitative questionnaire, administrative data and qualitative case studies. Service delivery strengths included accessibility, capability, continuity, appropriateness, responsiveness and sustainability. Fifteen opportunities to strengthen SEWB service delivery were identified, including in the areas of: client access, perceptions and experiences of service delivery; strengthening the SEWB workforce; and facilities required to support service delivery. These opportunities represent potential approaches that could improve the SEWB of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. For my second project, I used logistic regression to model univariate relationships between seven cultural safety policies and low or high uptake of MBS health assessments in 2014-16 using existing administrative and service performance data. Data from 174 health organisations showed no associations between cultural safety policies and health assessment uptake, however this is likely due to study and data limitations. In my third project, I conducted two case series analyses. The first described numbers and proportions of 168 vanA and vanAB acquisitions in 2013-2015. It also examined potential contributing environmental exposures and other risk factors that might lead to infection or colonisation. The second case series used Wilcoxon rank-sum, Chi-squared or Fisher’s exact tests to compare morbidity and mortality outcomes between vanA and vanB for 42 inpatients with laboratory-confirmed sterile site infections in 2015. No specific environmental exposures or risk factors that likely contributed to acquisition, and no difference in morbidity and mortality outcomes between genotypes, were identified. This may suggest that vanA is endemic to the hospital environment, highlighting the importance of standard, enhanced and tailored infection prevention and control precautions. To meet the teaching requirements, I presented to my peers on logic models and confounding. Additional to the program requirements, I completed an internship in the Ebola Community Engagement Team at the World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland. Chapters 5 and 6, respectively, reflect on these experiences. I highly value the opportunities and the skills, experience and knowledge in epidemiology, public health research and practice I developed in the program. I applied my knowledge of logic models, skills in data analysis and interpretation, and knowledge of the importance of understanding and accommodating culture and belief systems when addressing public health issues in my paid employment in my field placement.

Abstract:
This thesis sets out to account for the relative failure of Total Quality Management (TQM) experiments installed in the NHS between 1990 and 1994. In the study, only two NHS pilot sites in a large sample of hospitals and community services were found to have made significant progress on implementing TQM. Whilst most of these TQM sites made more progress on structured quality improvement than a group of non-TQM NHS quasi-controls, all were outperformed by two commercial TQM companies in the sample. The analysis is based on 850 semi-structured interviews carried out with a wide range of staff as well as documentary analysis, non-participant observation, and feedback workshops at selected sites. In accounting for the results, the thesis tests eight propositions about the application of rationalistic private sector models of change to a complex public sector organisation like the NHS. The analysis demonstrates the limitations of such approaches when they are not adapted to take account of the technical, systemic and behavioural differences between the two sectors. It can also be said that funding for the NHS experiments, whilst substantial, was an order of magnitude lower than that in the commercial companies. Similarly, support both centrally and locally in the NHS was not sufficient to provide for rigorous pre-planning and monitoring of progress. Numerous other changes being made at the same time were mostly incompatible with TQM principles and hindered progress on coherent change. Leadership commitment to, and understanding of, TQM was much weaker in the NHS than in the commercial companies. The requirement to move towards collective, userdefined, measures of quality met with opposition from staff groups who were used to their own individualistic and professional conceptions of quality. This led to NHS TQM sites being unable to demonstrate the organisation-wide changes that are said to be hallmarks of TQM.

Abstract:
This thesis reports on an evaluation of an intervention to improve the quality of care for adults with epilepsy. The intervention comprised an epilepsy specialist nurse working in 14 general practices in north west Bristol, England. A multi-method approach was employed. As part of a quasi-experimental trial, baseline and two annual follow-up questionnaires were sent to all patients in the practices aged 16 years and over and currently on drugs for epilepsy. In addition, interviews were undertaken with those having seizures to explore further some questionnaire findings and to appraise the appropriateness, acceptability and accessibility of the nurse service. The epilepsy nurse was interviewed to assess the feasibility of providing the new service. Baseline results highlighted deficiencies in services for people with epilepsy and suggested the need for structured care and increased discussion. The main effects of the nurse service were improved communication about epilepsy between health care providers and patients and increased access, especially for those with the greatest needs. The nurse service had limited impact on patients’ health status. There were indications of a negative impact on the perceived effect of epilepsy on aspects of everyday life. After one year, an intention-to-treat analysis suggested improvements in satisfaction with care from GPs, but decreased adherence to medication. A comparison of nurse service users with non-users after two years showed a reduction in the use of polypharmacy in users, and an increased proportion who queried GPs’ knowledge about epilepsy. Users reported increased visits to their GP. Interview data showed that the decision to use the nurse service depended on factors other than the severity and frequency of seizures. The service was most appropriate for those who perceived themselves to need care or information. This method of delivering care was feasible, but several operational problems were identified. The study supports the use of specialist nurses in primary care. Impact is, however, limited. The greatest contribution to improving care is by supporting and advising patients with specific and defined needs.

Abstract:
Health, United States, 2019 is the 43rd report on the health status of the nation and is submitted by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to the President and the Congress of the United States in compliance with Section 308 of the Public Health Service Act. This report was compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Health, United States series presents an annual overview of national trends in key health indicators. The 2019 report presents trends and current information on selected measures of morbidity, mortality, health care utilization and access, health risk factors, prevention, health insurance, and personal health care expenditures in a 20-figure chartbook. The Health, United States, 2019 Chartbook is supplemented by several other products including Trend Tables, an At-a-Glance table, and Appendixes available for download on the Health, United States website at: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus/ index.htm. The Health, United States, 2019 Chartbook contains 20 figures and 20 tables on health and health care in the United States. Examining trends in health informs the development, implementation, and evaluation of health policies and programs. The first section (Figures 1–13) focuses on health status and determinants: life expectancy, infant mortality, selected causes of death, overdose deaths, suicide, maternal mortality, teen births, preterm births, use of tobacco products, asthma, hypertension, heart disease and cancer, and functional limitations. The second section (Figures 14–15) presents trends in health care utilization: use of mammography and colorectal tests and unmet medical needs. The third section (Figures 16–17) focuses on health care resources: availability of physicians and dentists. The fourth section (Figures 18–20) describes trends in personal health care expenditures, health insurance coverage, and supplemental insurance coverage among Medicare beneficiaries. The Highlights section summarizes major findings from the Chartbook. Suggested citation: National Center for Health Statistics. Health, United States, 2019. Hyattsville, MD. 2021.

Abstract:
The monitoring and evaluation (M&E) Guidelines and Framework presented in this document (and in the accompanying M&E Indicator Framework) aim to encourage stakeholders in the rural sanitation and hygiene sector to take a more comprehensive, comparable and people focused approach to monitoring and evaluation. Many M&E frameworks currently reflect the interests and ambitions of particular implementing agencies – that is, community-led total sanitation (CLTS) interventions focused on open-defecation free (ODF) outcomes in triggered communities; market-based sanitation interventions focused on the number of products sold and whether sanitation businesses were profitable; and sanitation finance interventions reporting the number of facilities built using financial support. Few M&E frameworks have been designed to examine the overall sanitation and hygiene situation – to assess how interventions have affected sanitation and hygiene outcomes across an entire area (rather than just in specific target communities); to look at who (from the overall population) benefitted from the intervention, and who did not; to report on the level and quality of service used; or examine whether public health has improved. Since 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have extended and deepened the international monitoring requirements for sanitation and hygiene. The 2030 SDG sanitation target 6.2 includes requirements to: • Achieve access to adequate sanitation and hygiene for all • Achieve access to equitable sanitation and hygiene for all • End open defecation • Pay special attention to the needs of women and girls • Pay special attention to those in vulnerable situations The 2030 SDG sanitation target calls for universal use of basic sanitation services, and for the elimination of open defecation, both of which require M&E systems that cover entire administration areas (i.e. every person and community within a district) and which are able to identify people and groups that lack services, or continue unsafe practices. Fortunately, the SDG requirements are well aligned with the sector trend towards system strengthening, in recognition that governments are responsible both for the provision of sustainable services and for monitoring the achievement of sustained outcomes. This document provides guidelines on the monitoring and evaluation of rural sanitation and hygiene, and presents an M&E framework that outlines core elements and features for reporting on progress towards the 2030 SDG sanitation target (and related national goals and targets for rural sanitation and hygiene), while also encouraging learning and accountability. Given wide variations in the ambition, capacity and resources available for monitoring and evaluation, it is apparent that not all of the M&E processes and indicators described will be appropriate for all stakeholders. The intention is to provide guidelines and details on useful and progressive approaches to monitoring rural sanitation and hygiene, from which a range of rural sanitation and hygiene duty bearers and practitioners – including governments, implementation agencies, development partners and service providers – can select and use those most appropriate to their needs. Eventually, it is hoped that all of the more progressive M&E elements and features will become standard, and be incorporated in all sector monitoring systems.

Abstract:
Evidence-based practice is often encouraged in most service delivery settings, yet a substantial body of research indicates that service providers often show resistance or limited adherence to such practices. Resistance to the uptake of evidence-based treatments and programs is well-documented in several fields, including nursing, dentistry, counseling, and other mental health services. This research brief discusses the reasons behind provider resistance, with a contextual focus on mental health service provision in school settings. Recommendations are to attend to resistance in the preplanning proposal stage, during early implementation training stages, and in cases in which insufficient adherence or low fidelity related to resistance leads to implementation failure. Directions for future research include not only attending to resistance but also moving toward client-centered approaches grounded in the evidence base.
