Full textBackground: The largest focus areas for the department of health is ensuring access to quality healthcare. The district health system (DHS) model remains the vehicle used by the district managers to deliver on the health department’s goals, objectives and priority focus areas. Strengthening the district health system platform is therefore important to the department to improve access and quality of care to the clients serviced in the province. The district hospitals play a fundamental role since they support primary health care (PHC) and serve as the entry point to more specialised care. The efficient management of beds in the district hospitals is the key in ensuring access to care and preventing bed blocking. Bed Utilisation Rate (BUR) and Average Length of Stay (ALOS) are indicators used to measure the efficiency of hospital beds. This study provides a description of the trends in bed utilisation within the inpatient wards of eight district hospitals in the Cape Town metro district in the 2016-2017 financial period. Methodology: To analyse and compare wards a quantitative approach was used. Inpatient ward activity reports for eight district hospitals were accessed from the department of health’s routine data collection repository. A total of fifty-five wards were compared across small and large hospitals for BUR and ALOS during the financial year period 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017. Data entry was done in MS EXCEL and analyses were done using STATA 11.0.

Full textThe overcrowding situation in general hospitals´ medical emergency services is constantly in the news in many media resources. The work developed in a sector that operates above its normal capacity is difficult and surrounded by tension. The staff who work in emergency services as well as in teaching hospitals need to have professional identification and work motivation due to the demands and difficulties found in these environments. The main objective of the present work is to reflect on this reality. The chosen scenario for this study was the Emergency Service of an educational hospital, which besides offering excellence in patient care services, has the objective of offering in-service training to residents and interns. The idea of the study was to understand the processes and reality data that permeate through Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre´s Emergency Service from the perception of residents on overcrowding. As well as to propose educative and psycho-educative strategies, that could help teams in the best possible conduct with the attended cases. To help us understand this complex scenario, we used the cartography method of research-intervention. We started this trajectory describing this scenario that will serve as an analysis field; history related aspects, physical structure, as well as the Emergency Service specificities. Throughout the study, we present a brief historical review of the hospital and teaching hospital creation and the emergency and urgency services, focusing on the overcrowding situation, which is the backdrop of this study. At the end of the theoretical chapter there is a brief overview related to in-services training modality, namely medical and multidisciplinary residences. The investigation originated from two meetings with the Emergency Service residents. We had the collaboration of the first year residents of the Multidisciplinary Integrated Residency and the Emergency Medical Residency. All residents who participated in the study worked for a minimum of one year in the environment, giving a total of ten residents. Seven of which were from the Multi-professional Residence with emphasis in adult critical care, and three Medical Emergency residents. Stimulated by the analysis process and the residents’ dialogs, we recognised that the work developed in the Emergency Service needs to be accomplished collectively, reinforcing the relevance of strengthening the inter-professional work as well as investing in patient care that prioritises humanization and integrated care. The expectation of this work is to serve as an incentive for a pedagogic paradigm shift through psycho-educational and educational actions and that it can bring benefits to the quality of care given to patients, as much for the care provided by the team contracted by the institution as for the students who are there to train through practical experience.

Full textThe emergency department is an important care service that represents the hospital's bottleneck. Emergencies often face overcrowding problems in many countries worldwide. One of the causes of the emergency department overcrowding is the permanent interference between three types of arriving patients: already programmed patients, non-programmed patients and urgent non-programmed patients. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the study and development a decision support system to improve patient management in both normal and overcrowding situation. Two main processes have been developed. A rolling-horizon scheduling process using a memetic algorithm with the integration of controlled genetic operators to determine an optimal schedule for patient. The second dynamic orchestration process, based on communicating agents, takes into account the dynamic and uncertain nature of the emergency environment by continually updating this schedule for patient. This orchestration monitoring in real time the workflow of the patient pathway improves step by step the performance indicators during the execution. Through agent behaviors and communication protocols, the proposed system has established a direct real-time link between the required performances and the effective actions in order to decrease the overcrowding impact. The experimental results in this thesis, implemented at the Regional University Hospital Center (RUHC) of Lille, justify the interest of the application of our approaches to improve the performance indicators thanks to the agents driven patient pathway workflows during their execution

Full textO estudo teve como objetivo investigar a superlotação nos serviços de emergência hospitalar (SEH). Para tal, foram elaborados dois artigos, já publicados. O primeiro, elaborado durante a crise dos serviços de emergência hospitalar de 2005, discutiu as características estruturantes do Programa QUALISUS do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil, em curso de implantação, analisou as especificidades desses serviços e fez algumas considerações sobre o sistema de saúde do município do Rio de Janeiro, sede do início do programa QUALISUS. Com a complexidade do cenário onde o programa era implementado, exemplificado pela grave crise na assistência àqueles que demandavam cuidados nos serviços de emergência, assim como as características da matriz da qualidade sugerida pelo programa, cuja ênfase é na reorganização da rede dos serviços de emergência e na recepção dos serviços de emergência hospitalar, voltados para o acolhimento e a classificação de risco, optou-se pelo aprofundamento do estudo sobre os SEH. A partir de uma revisão sistemática, discutiu-se as intervenções voltadas para solucionar o problema da superlotação dos Serviços de Emergência Hospitalar, e identificou-se evidências de baixo desempenho organizacional. A revisão sistemática partiu de um universo de 2.992 títulos, onde foram selecionados 822 títulos para análise de resumos e textos integrais, entre o período de 2000 a junho de 2007. A superlotação foi caracterizada como um fenômeno mundial, com causas e conseqüências. As intervenções que interferiram positivamente no principal indicador da superlotação, o tempo de permanência no SEH, apontaram para a melhoria do fluxo de saída dos pacientes dos serviços de emergência hospitalar, através do aumento do desempenho organizacional. Os resultados dessa revisão desmistificaram as soluções que aumentam as barreiras de acesso ou melhoram a estrutura dos SEH. Os dois artigos se complementam, na medida em que, a análise do contexto da implantação de um programa institucional de qualidade e dos seus conceitos, suscitou a necessidade de investigar mais profundamente as características desses serviços e propor hipóteses para solucionar seus graves problemas.
The study aimed to investigate the overcrowding in the public hospitals emergency rooms (ER). For such, two articles had been elaborated and are already published. The first one is related to the crisis of the public hospitals emergency rooms services which took place in the year of 2005 in Brazil. It presents the major characteristics of the Ministry of Health QUALISUS Program, analyzes the specificities of these services and made some considerations about the city of Rio de Janeiro health system, QUALISUS headquarter. Given the complexity of the broad picture where the program was implemented, leaded by the serious crisis in the emergency rooms medical care, as well as the characteristics of the quality matrix suggested by the program, whose emphasis is the reorganization of the emergency services network and in the reception of the services of hospital emergency driven toward the shelter and the classification of risk, it was decided to deepen the research on the emergency room aspects. From a thorough systematic review based on a universe of 2.992 titles, 882 full articles and abstracts from the period between 2.000 and 2.007 were analyzed. Overcrowding was characterized as a world-wide phenomenon, with causes and consequences. Among the main aspects, this literature raise up a range of interventions to solve the emergency room overcrowding. Low organizational performance is a scientific finding. Interventions that had modified positively the main indicator of overcrowding, the time of permanence in the emergency room, dealt with the improvement of the patients discharge from emergency rooms through the increase of the organizational performance. The results of this systematic revision had demystified the solutions that increase access barriers or improve the structure of the emergency room. The two articles are complementary: the analysis of a quality institutional program concepts and implementation rose up the need to better understand the major characteristics of the emergency room services to identify hypothesis to solve its major problems.
