Full textThis dissertation empirically examines the associations between depression and HIV-related outcomes, simulates both care and outcomes under different depression care strategies, and compares the cost effectiveness of various depression care strategies to the current care strategy.
The empirical investigations reveal the negative associations between depression and HIV-related outcomes using two longitudinal patient-level databases. Furthermore, the patterns and outcomes of depression care are identified and simulated using agent-based modeling. Finally, simulated costs and effectiveness are used to evaluate different depression care strategies for reducing new HIV infections and improving quality of life.
The current standard of care for depression among patients living with HIV can be characterized as low intensity in terms of screening and treatment; enhanced depression care strategies are proposed and evaluated to be cost-saving. Recommendations are offered to enhance depression care in HIV care settings.

Full textThe care givers' assignment and routing problems are relevant issues for Home Health Care (HHC) service providers. The first problem consists of deciding which care givers will provide services to which patients, whereas the second aims at determining the visiting sequences of care givers. From a modelling perspective, these problems can be solved with either a two-stage approach or a simultaneous approach. Although the currently most known simultaneous approach yields more accurate results by solving the assignment and routing problems at the same time, its resolution remains computationally difficult and not viable for large scale applications. In this thesis, we focus on the two-stage approach that sequentially solves an assignment and a routing problem in order to compare its performances to those of the simultaneous approach. Hence, several variants of mathematical models are developed by taking into account: (1) the skill compatibilities between patients and operators; (2) single or multiple planning periods; (3) imposed or released operator capacity restrictions. An important point regarding the two stage approach concerns the estimation of care givers' travel times that are required to solve the assignment problem. For this purpose, we propose an empirical data-driven method that is based on the Kernel Regression technique to estimate travel times. Such a method uses care givers' historical travel times that integrate several realistic factors such as cared patients' clinical conditions and locations or care givers' personal preferences to estimate the time necessary for visiting a set of patients located in the HHC service area. Numerical studies based on realistic problem instances are used to analyze the performances of the proposed data-driven travel time estimation method and the two-stage approach. Results obtained show that both the newly developed travel time estimation method and the two-stage models are promising approaches for the HHC human resource planning process

Full textIn 2007, at its 52nd Conference in Polokwane, the African National Congress (ANC) called for the implementation of a National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme. The announcement resulted in much debate, with critics voicing concerns about the state of the public health system, lack of consultation and the expense of a NHI scheme. However, little attention has been paid to the 
human resource (HR) needs, despite the fact that 57% of recurrent expenditure on health1 is on HR. This research aimed to identify the HR requirements to support the implementation of an effective and equitable health system funded by a NHI in South Africa. An overview of the current burden of disease and distribution of HR is provided. Through interviewing key stakeholders the study attempted to elicit information about factors which will hamper or assist in developing such a health system, specifically looking at the HR situation and needs. The research explores HR 
odels and proposes key HR requirements for implementation of a health system funded by a NHI in South Africa, including skills mix and projected numbers of health workers and 
proposes ways to improve the deficient HR situation. Exploratory qualitative research methods were used comprising in-depth individual interviews, with a purposive sample of key informants, including: public health professionals and health managers (working in rural and urban areas)
researchers
academics and NGO managers. The contents of the interviews were analysed to identify common responses about and suggestions for HR requirements within the framework of a NHI. 1 Personal communication Dr Mark Blecher, Director Social Services (Health), National Treasury, 17 July 2009 The literature review includes policy documents, position papers and articles from journals and bulletins. Key informants were asked to identify literature and research material to support recommendations. The research findings indicate that despite the South African Government&rsquo
s expressed commitment to Primary Health Care (PHC), the National Department of Health has continued to support and sustain a clinical model of health service delivery (Motsoaledi, 2010), primarily utilising doctors and nurses. The clinic based services are limited in their ability to reach community level, and, being focused on curative aspects, are often inadequate with regard to prevention, health promotion and rehabilitation services. While the curricula of health professionals have been through some changes, the training has continued to be curative in focus and the clinical training sites have not been significantly expanded to include peripheral sites. While there are many Community Health Workers in the country, they remain disorganised and peripheral to the public health system. The mid level worker category 
has not been fully explored. Finally there are no clear strategies for recruitment and retention of health workers in rural and under-resourced areas. In addition to the continued use of a clinical model, transformation of the health system hasbeen hampered by inadequate numbers of health workers, particularly in the rural and periurban townships and informal settlements. There is no clear strategy for addressing the critical 
health worker shortage in under-resourced areas, particularly rural areas. The last section makes recommendations, which will be submitted to the relevant task teams working on the NHI. It is intended that recommendations arising out of the research will influence the process and decisions about HRH within a NHI funded health system.

Full textDespite the level of organizational investment in training and performance improvement, little is known about the use of different models of case management as interventions for the ever-increasing health care issues in the United States. Based on Van Tiem, Moseley, and Dessinger's Performance Improvement/Human Performance Technology model, this case study used qualitative semi-structured interviews and quantitative archival aggregate patient data to answer the following research questions: RQ1. How did the implementation of the triad model of case management process improvement change case management processes and implementation methods? RQ1a. What happens to key performance indicators (cost of service, patient satisfaction, and quality of care) when the triad model of case management process improvement is implemented? RQ2. How did acceptance and resistance to a new case management model manifest themselves during the implementation of the triad model of case management process improvement intervention? Seven hospital employees answered questions regarding possible resistance to change during the implementation phase of this model of case management. Data analysis included comparisons of the participants’ responses regarding cost of care, quality of care, and satisfaction with services to quantitative archival measures of those variables. Mean comparisons of all three areas, cost of service, quality of care, and satisfaction with services, revealed that differences before and after implementation of the triad model were not significant. Participant interviews provided general indications that cost of service, quality of care, and satisfaction with services improved with the intervention of the triad model of case management. Participants generally also approved of the change to the triad model of case management following an initial period of concern about work disparity, which resolved with the separation of utilization review and case manager job duties. Recommendations for future research include waiting beyond the time frame used in this study to assess for change and further evaluating possible resistance to change in an organization using emerging trends in human performance technology (HPT) and the completed HPT process.

Full textIMIS (Integrated Mobile Information System for Diabetic Healthcare) aims at providing healthcare on both stationary and mobile platform, which is based on Engström’s triangle model in Activity Theory. It focuses on the need for communication and information accessibility between care-providers and their shared patients. Based on the identified need in the target area, IMIS has decided to construct a network-based communication system to support communication and accessibility to patients’ journal. Since the system integrates various roles from the heath care organization, it is a challenge to provide a useful software program to the group members. In order to facilitate the application and enhance the Human-Computer interaction of the system, agent technology is applied to increase the flexibility factor so that the system could be self-adapted to a wider range group of users.
Besides, this thesis also introduces the approach of using social-psychology — Activity theory in HCI, and discuss the integration of these different disciplines. The Multi-agents System is applied with Gaia methodology from micro perspectives. From the macro perspective Activity theory constructs the coordination mechanism of the different agents. A prototype is applied based on the different model of our research.

Full textMethod. This study consists of two methods: a document review of relevant policies and reforms of Quebec's health and social services. Secondly, qualitative interview methods were used to explore the experiences of seven managers within a CSSS and their attitudes towards the reform.
Results. Managers described the following: a new window of opportunity, importance of leadership in the reform process, distorted communication, environment of trust, and culture of the organisation.
Conclusion. Quebec's health and social services is an ongoing discourse. Distorted communication creates an atmosphere of uncertainty which hinders the reform process. Implications include the need for further research in understanding healthcare professionals and other actors in the reform process.

Full textThis paper attempts to address these questions from an ethical viewpoint examining risk of harm and the individual duties of the HCW, the patient and society as well as through analysis of policies regarding HIV-infected HCWs. These policies were written by the federal U.S. and Canadian governments as well as state and provincial health departments and registrars of medical associations in the U.S. and Canada.
The policies were analyzed for five categories of requirements or recommendations with respect to: (1) notification of government and professional organizations or health care institutions and notification of patients of the HCW's HIV status, (2) mandatory HIV testing of HCWs, (3) work restriction for the HCW, (4) retrospective notification of the patient, and (5) monitoring compliance with the policy.
It was found that, in their practical interpretation, the policies left room for a wide spectrum of interpretation possibly due to poorly defined risk of individual invasive procedures. This indicates the need to accurately determine the risks of HIV transmission, from HCW to patient, during specific medical interventions.
It was concluded that certain policies, such as Health and Welfare Canada's Laboratory Centre for Disease Control (LCDC), policy and New York State Department of Health's policy allow enough flexibility to minimize risks of harm as well as to provide the possibility of a balance of the interests of all involved.

Full textAvhandlingen handlar om två olika teoretiska tolkningar av objekt och objektorientering i design av informationssystem för hälso- och omvårdnadsarbete - tolkningar utifrån verksamhetsteori/utvecklande arbetsforskning (activity theory/developmental work research: AT/DWR) å ena sidan och datavetenskap (computer science: CS) å den andra. Ett motiv för mitt intresse för objekt i arbete och i programvara, är att bättre förstå problem och möjligheter i ett tvärvetenskapligt forskningsprojekt. Med en början i 2001, startade ett sårvårdsprojekt som ett forsknings- och utvecklingsarbete med den initiala idén att nyttja digitala foton, och snart utvecklades ett informationssystem ("Hedvig") för syftet att hantera digitala foton och annan relaterad behandlingsdokumentation för sårvård. Senare expanderade detta arbetet i skapandet av ett distribuerat informationssystem ("Helar"), en digital prototyp för stöd av sårbehandlingsarbete. Denna avhandling summerar reflektioner relaterade till objektbegreppen. AT/DWR har sin styrka i analys och design av efterfrågad förändring av en arbetspraktik, men är fortfarande svag i metod och tekniker för att stödja skapandet av specifika datorsystem. På ett sätt är det här tillkortakommandet tänkt att balanseras av den teknologiskt datavetenskapliga disciplinen, där en av dess främsta drivkrafter är att utveckla teori och praktik för konstruktion av datoriserade informationssystem. I det tvärvetenskapliga fältet av design av informationssystem för hälso- och omvårdnadsarbete, föreslår denna avhandling fortsatt utveckling av objektkoncepten, och utveckling av de relaterade "scenarios" och "use cases", som ett sätt att dra fördel av en kombination av dessa två olika förtjänster, som de olika disciplinerna står för. objekt, objektorientering, sårvård, digitala foton, verksamhetsteori, datavetenskap, informationssystem

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 69-72).
This thesis explores the barriers to participation in the 1199 Home Care Industry Bill Michelson Education Fund (Home Care Education Fund). The Home Care Education Fund is structured as a Taft-Hartley, joint labor-management training fund to provide skills upgrading opportunities to unionized home care workers. It is the only such fun in the United States devoted exclusively to home care workers. Home care is a growing sector of the health care industry, and home attendants and home health aides are projected to be among the fastest-growing occupations in the following decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Home care workers are also some of the most economically disadvantaged workers in the health care sector, earning poverty-level wages and, with the exception of 1199/SEIU members, lacking health insurance and pension benefits. Three sets of stakeholder groups were interviewed for this thesis: home care workers, who participated in a series of focus group meetings and personal interviews; home care agency employers; and Home Care Education Fund and ETJSP staff members. A written survey instrument was implemented to home care agency employers regarding their staffing levels and training benefits to supplement personal interviews. Each group articulated a coherent set of barriers facing home care workers, with unique challenges facing the agency employers and Education Fund staff in meeting the workers' needs. It is argued that shared interests bind these groups together and that a considerable overlap exists between the provision of quality medical care, welfare and job training policies. Further, there is an urgent need to support a frontline, marginalized workforce that is caring for thousands of disabled and elderly clients on a daily basis. The ultimate goal of this thesis is to identify those key barriers that prevent participation in the Home Care Education Fund so that staff and trustees may work together to tailor their services to meet their unique needs. It concludes with supporting recommendations for workforce development policy.

Full textMed ett ökande antal äldre och en ökande medellivslängd kommer smart, bärbar teknologi att spela en större roll i äldrevården för att övervaka de äldre. Aifloos armband är en smart teknologi som kan samla in olika former av data, förutsäga aktiviteter och upptäcka avvikande och onormala beteenden, vilket kan användas av äldre som bor självständiga i sena egna hem. Stora mängder data, och dåliga visualiseringar av dem, orsakar svårigheter för vårdgivare att tolka datan. I den här studien har sex vårdgivare intervjuats för att utforska vilken data som är relevant för dem, och hur de kan tolka information ifrån en grupp olika gränssnitt. Studiens resultat visar att alarm, fallolyckor och översikt över hur de äldre efterföljer sina medicinska recept är viktigast. Vårdgivarna lägger en större vikt vid att förstå datan holistiskt, och de vill synliggöra avvikande beteendemönster och varningar. Slutgiltligen presenteras riktlinjer för hur IT-system kan designas för att presentera data på ett meningsfullt och intuitivt vis.

Full textThesis advisor: Andrea Vicini
Sub-Saharan Africa has one of the worst health care systems in the world. Besides, underdeveloped economies paired with political instability do not offer much hope for improvement. In fact, despite many efforts by local, international organizations and governments to help in this field, the majority of the populations in this region do not have access to basic health care. With this in mind, the aim of this research project is to develop a personal and social anthropology of the human rights language read through the lens of the common good in order to contribute to creating and developing sustainable healthcare systems. While agreeing that many efforts have been made using different frameworks in the sphere of public health ethics in the past two decades and aware of the possibility that other underlying causes may have contributed to the failure of health systems in Sub-Saharan Africa, we will choose to address the human rights language as the main interlocutor for future contribution. This choice is motivated by the influence of human rights on public health policies that affect the lives of people in general
