Full textWaste management generally in South Africa is poorly defined and practised, and the inadequate management of health care waste (HCW) has been recognised by the South African government as a significant environmental and public health risk. The literature revealed that an integrated health care waste information system (IHCWIS) serves as an important intervention to address the issue of poor health care waste management (HCWM). The overall key research question which this research asked was: "How does an IHCWIS develop and become institutionalised among health care waste generators?" The aim of the research was to gather empirical data to understand how the development and institutionalisation of an IHCWIS contributes to effective HCWM.

Full textIntegration is an important emerging health systems issue, which has relevance to different health programmes. Improving prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) programs in South Africa would reduce preventable maternal and infant morbidity and mortality, assist with achieving Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5, and help in the response to the WHO call for the elimination of MTCT, the new international PMTCT goal. Integrating PMTCT care into routine maternal and child health programmes has been recommended as a way to optimize PMTCT care. The Part B literature review in this dissertation examines the reasons why PMTCT programmes need to engage with integration as an issue, challenges to implementing integrated programmes, followed by a discussion of the benefits and lessons to consider in planning integrated PMTCT programmes. Theoretical concepts and frameworks such as Atun's framework, complexity, Theory of Change and innovation in health systems are discussed, as they have key relevance to the research findings. Lessons about implementing health system changes can be learned from programmes which have done so successfully. Using Case Study methodology, the process of developing the fully integrated longitudinal clinic at McCord Hospital is described in Part C, and reflections on the experience of providing integrated care are captured through qualitative interviews with the staff. Recommendations regarding innovation and change within complex systems are made, emphasizing the need to understand contexts which are receptive to change and the importance of leadership in managing change.

Full textIn spite of an undeniably vast and multidisciplinary body of research on mergers and acquisitions (M&As) spanning more than 50 years, extant scholarship provides little insight into how two organizations that have struggled to integrate rebound from failure in their relationship. This dissertation examines two organizations—AMC Hospital and Community Hospital—that achieved this outcome nearly 16 years after they legally merged. To understand this phenomenon, I conducted an inductive, longitudinal qualitative study of these two organizations and their members using interviews, archival data, and observations as my data sources and grounded theory techniques to analyze the data and build theory. Extending prior research on M&As, multiple organizational identity management, and identities as resources in organizations, I advance the notion of multiple identity resourcing by examining how the negotiation of multiple organizational identities fostered greater resource sharing and generation during post-merger integration. Additionally, I elaborate prior research on meaning construction during strategic change by examining how managers’ interpretations of the power and intimacy dynamics in the merger relationship influenced their strategizing, which affected organizational-level episodes of success and failure during the integration process. More broadly, I demonstrate how practices at both the level of the merger relationship and the level of strategy implementation enable successful performance during post-merger integration

Full textThis study aimed to analyze the completeness in the Cervical Cancer care in a city with a large population and with enough technology health equipment available to the people. It was used a mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative). For the quantitative approach it was used the database regarding cytology and biopsy exams registered in the city. The analysis and statistical tests were performed by the statistic software SPSS 17.0. A qualitative approach was performed through interviews with users, professionals and members of the health system. Qualitative data were submitted to content analysis performed by the software NVivo 9.0. In the analysis of the content, it was found that coverage of Pap test is insufficient and is concentrated in younger women. The biopsies are equivalent to the amount of the cytology with abnormal results. The severe diagnosis, from both cytology and biopsies, are prevalent in older women. A qualitative approach indicates potentialities: the good reception of the patient, the fast access from both medium and high complexity health services, the active role of municipal health. Weaknesses: the difficulty in scheduling an appointment with a doctor, lack of training to inform the patient about the diagnosis, the encouragement to use emergency care and the overspecialization of the health professionals. It appears from this study that the main gaps for having a complete integrate healthcare system in the investigated city are concentrated in the first level of health care

Full textThe term governance is used with an increasing frequency to indicate the rules, processes and behaviour through which public administrations define and implement policies, strategies and actions. The research aims at improving the knowledge on the application of the public governance framework to regional health and social care systems. It will analyse the evolution of the phenomenon through a double perspective. On the one hand, it will be carried out a review of the literature regarding the integration of health care with social care. On the other hand, it will contribute to identify public governance issues in that process of integration. The main aim of the research is to propose an organizational model of health and social care integration, based on public governance principles and tools which can enable the development and good functioning of an integrated system of health and social care services.
Gazana, Odwa. "The role of telehealth in enhancing access to healthcare services in an under-resourced setting: A case of Mantunzeleni in Eastern Cape Province." Thesis, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11838/2399.
Full textThe delivery of healthcare services should be of a high standard for everyone. For people in the location of Mantunzeleni this is not the case as there are still challenges that they go through in order to gain access to sufficient healthcare services. The location consists of four villages and the other nine which surround the four, in total this makes thirteen villages that are served by one clinic. These villages are divided by forest, rivers and mountains, people have to cross these and walk long distances to get to the clinic. Gaining access to basic healthcare services in rural areas has never been easy, hence this study seeks to understand the role telehealth could play to help improve the situation. It has been reported in the literature that telehealth has potential to address some of the problems experienced by healthcare service providers located in the rural areas. Research questions were posed to address the problem of limited access to healthcare services of under-served communities in rural areas. The study adopted an interpretive approach to understand how the people using healthcare services in the setting attach meaning to their experiences of the healthcare service. The study therefore seeks to understand how telehealth could improve healthcare service delivery through the participants’ views, perceptions and experiences. The research strategy for this study is a single case study without attempting to generalise the findings. Qualitative data was gathered using unstructured interviews, observations and co-design methods. The current state of telehealth and challenges of healthcare services in rural under-served communities was established through a review of relevant literature. It was important to actively involve the respondents in the research process for them to feel a sense of ownership. Data was analysed using a thematic analysis. The findings revealed the challenges currently hampering the delivery of healthcare in the research setting include poor infrastructure, high cost, the shortage of medical professionals, travelling distance, time management and lack of communication about the services. It was also revealed the role telehealth could play a role to improve access to healthcare and the findings indicate that the nurses feel that extending the healthcare service to include alternative access methods to health information, education and expertise could lead to a sense of appreciation, knowledge gain, dealing with distance problems and improved referrals, cost saving to improve healthcare service delivery.

Full textThe present development of the demography of elderly people in the western world will generate a shortage of caregiver’s for elderly people in the near future. There are major risk that the lack of qualified caregivers will result in deterioration in the quality of elderly care. One possible
solution is the use of modern information and communication technology (ICT) to enable staff to work more efficiently. However, if ICT system is introduced into the elderly care it must done in a way which is acceptable from a humane perspective while at the same time increasing the efficiency of the personal that working in elderly care centers. This thesis investigates the
technical feasibility of using a wireless mesh network for a social alarm system, in the elderly care. The System as such is not intended to replace the staff at an elderly care center but instead is intended to reduce staff workloads while providing more time for elderly care.

Full textFaced with demographic changes, the rise of chronic diseases including cancer, and in response to the fragmentation of current healthcare systems, care coordination has become a priority in global public health. Cancer patients are particularly at risk of receiving poorly organized care due to the complex nature of the disease and its management, which involves multiple medical, nursing, socio-medical, and social teams operating at different levels of the healthcare system over an extended period. This lack of coordination affects the quality and efficiency of care. Progress in care coordination has been hindered by the lack of a common definition and precision on how it should be implemented. In France, new nursing coordination functions in oncology have been introduced without prior conceptualisation, leading to a wide variety of actions and job titles. This heterogeneity hampers the recognition, understanding of their actions, and the evaluation of their performance. In the absence of a detailed analysis of the scope of action of these professionals and a theoretical framework for care coordination, this thesis project aims, in three parts, to model nursing care coordination intervention in oncology and to identify ways to implement these results into the national health policy of care coordination in France. The first part (conceptual) allowed the development of an innovative reference framework focused on coordination activities through a scoping review and a structured consensus method (nominal group technique) involving decision-makers, organizers, and patient partners. The second part, focusing on practices, produced an operational model of hospital-based cancer coordination nurses’ intervention, by comparing theoretical expectations (framework from part 1) with the practices and perceptions that these nurses, their patients, caregivers, and professional partners had of this coordination intervention. The field survey consisted of a national multicenter mixed-method study through a triangulation of qualitative (observations, interviews, focus groups) and quantitative (validated scales) information on practices, contexts, perceptions, and attitudes towards work among oncology care coordination nurses in France. The third part was dedicated to transferring results to decision-makers through the organisation of a national workshop involving all stakeholders in the field (regulators, hospital administrators, professional associations, researchers, nurses, patient partners). Its objective was to present the modelling results, share experiences from other research teams on the subject, and translate the operational model into concrete actions through consensus-building of a job description, and defining the minimum elements of managerial support and prerequisites for these nurses' functions. This thesis project has generated new knowledge on care coordination, both in general and more specifically in oncology, at a conceptual level (reference framework), interventional level (operational model), and translational level (job description). The work presented in this thesis thus paves the way for optimal deployment of these functions for public health decision-making (implementation of the job description, standardisation of training), and research evaluation of the effects and impact of these interventions

Full textIn this dissertation I have provided an academic interrogation of the gap between policy principles for comprehensive integrated primary mental health care in South Africa, and the implementation theoreof. I argue, theoreically, that the current add-on approach, which emphasizes care for patients with serious mental illness, will not achieve the vision for comprehensive integrated primary mental health care in South Africa. I suggest that this trajectory is a product of the reformist approach to the implementation of primary health care, and suggest that what is needed is a shift towards a comprehensive discourse of care at the primary level. My research aimed at developing an understanding of how such a shift could be achieved.
