Abstract:
Background Patients receiving radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer can have complex medication requirements related to the management of side-effects and impaired swallowing ability. This study surveyed patients and clinicians to identify service gaps and unmet medication management needs. Methods Patient and clinician surveys were developed by a multidisciplinary team based on previously validated questionnaires. The patient survey focused on medication use and adherence. The clinician survey was based around a clinical case study and focused on identifying service gaps and practice variations. This survey was disseminated to radiation oncologists, pharmacists and nurses involved with the care of head and neck or lung cancer patients in Victoria. Results A total of 93 surveys were completed including 53 patient surveys and 40 clinician surveys. Radiotherapy patients reported high medication usage with up to 53% taking five or more medications daily. When asked the same set of questions relating to medication education requirements, patients receiving polypharmacy reported greater needs (72%) than recognised by the surveyed multidisciplinary clinician group (58%). They also reported a non-adherence rate of 46%. In addition, further disparities were identified in clinician practices and their approach to clinical situations which may result in conflicting advice and confusion for patients. Conclusion While recognising deficiencies relating to the provision of medication information, oncologists, nurses and pharmacists underestimated patient needs for medication information, education and follow-up. Findings support the rationale for integration of pharmacy services within the radiotherapy clinics to support patient care and bridge service gaps relating to medication management.

Abstract:
The Greater Victoria Hospital Society (GVHS) Palliative Care Committee surveyed medical and nursing staff from four hospitals and The Victoria Hospice Society in February, 1993. The purpose of the survey was to identify physicians’ and nurses’ perceived educational needs related to death and dying. Programs that focus on the dying process; patient pain, symptom, and comfort control; and patient and family support were identified as necessary to meet the educational needs of physicians and nurses in providing quality palliative care. Physicians and nurses identified communication skills as being paramount. Communications concerning ethical issues were highlighted as the most difficult to cope with.

Abstract:
The objective of the study was to describe and explain variations in rates of hospital admissions for long-term complications of diabetes mellitus in rural and urban Victoria as an indicator of the adequacy of ambulatory care services. The Victorian Inpatient Minimum Database (VIMD), Health Insurance Commission data for 1998, Medical Labour Force Annual Survey 1998, Socioeconomic Indexes for Areas 1996 (SEIFA) and Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA) were merged to determine the extent to which hospitalisation for complications of diabetes can be predicted from accessibility and utilisation of general practitioner services. The rural and urban differentials for long-term diabetic complications and their strong relationship with GP services, the degree of remoteness, lack of insurance, and Aboriginality reflect issues related to equity and access, patient and GP education, and inclination to seek care, all of which have implications for planning of primary health services in rural areas. This study describes a model for the analysis of ambulatory care sensitive conditions, and illustrates the important use of routine databases combined with other sources of information in quantifying the impact of factors related to primary care services.

Abstract:
Introduction:The growing number of mass gathering events (MGEs) in Victoria has seen an increase in demand for event health services and the need for real-time reporting of medical incidents at these events.Aim:Since 2016, St. John Ambulance Victoria has introduced an electronic patient care record (ePCR) system with the aim of improving patient care and satisfaction. It appears that this ePCR system is the first of its kind to be trialed at MGEs by a volunteer organization.Methods:A qualitative study was conducted to determine strengths and limitations of the ePCR system by compiling results of surveys and interviews and through anonymous feedback from volunteers and patrons (event organizers, patients). This study is ongoing.Results:It was found that the use of ePCR: 1.Allowed for collection of relevant data to assist in future planning of MGEs2.Aids the overall coordination of first aid delivery at MGEs -faster relaying of patient information to event commanders-reduction of paperwork-improved ability to locate first aid crews using GPS tracking3.Received positive feedback from first aiders, event organizers, and patrons4.Was deemed easy-to-use (4/5), acceptable (4.3/5), and helpful (4.1/5) by our membersDiscussion:These experiences demonstrate that ePCR is well-received, easy to use, and leads to improved patient satisfaction and treatment outcomes at MGEs. Furthermore, the ability to collect and analyze real-time data such as GPS location tracking, incidence heat maps, and patient demographics facilitate future event planning and resource allocation at MGEs. It is acknowledged that this study is preliminary, and the trialed use of an ePCR system has been limited to metropolitan areas and MGEs with <1 million patrons. The intent is to continue this study and explore the use of ePCRs at larger MGEs and events in rural or regional areas.

Abstract:
279 Background: The PCSC Program was initiated in 2013 at the Vancouver Prostate Centre to provide a comprehensive program for patients and partners with prostate cancer. This program provides educational sessions (ES) and clinical services, including decision-making for primary therapy, sexual health, pelvic floor physiotherapy, hormone therapy, counseling, exercise, and nutrition for patients in BC, Canada. In 2016, the PCSC Program expanded to BC Cancer Victoria and in 2017 to other BC Cancer sites. In 2018, medical oncologists (MDs) in Victoria (JR, SP) developed an Education Module addressing treatment options for men with metastatic hormone sensitive (mHSPC) and metastatic castration resistant (mCRPC) disease. MDs delivered in-person ES in Victoria in 2018 and, in 2019, added a virtual platform (VP) option. From 3-5/2020, the ESs were on hold due to the COVID pandemic and parental leaves. In 6/2020, the ESs resumed only on VP, and the PCSC Oncology Nurse Practitioner (NP), NI, gave the presentations for the MDs on leave. In 10/2020, due to a changing standard of care for mHSPC, the PCSC team consolidated the two ESs into one. We report on the evolution of this Education Module in response to both the changing standard of care and the COVID pandemic. Methods: We prospectively collected attendance and patient characteristic metrics from all ES for men with mPC. We tracked presenter type (MD vs. NP) and prospectively collected anonymous patient satisfaction questionnaires. Results: From 1/2018 to 1/2021, 100 men registered for 27 ES; 81 men, 41 partners, and 2 family members actually attended. 48/75 (64%) men were white, 39/75 (52%) retired, and 56/75 (74.7%) married. 47 men attended 12 mHSPC ES, 13 men attended ten mCRPC ES, and 17 attended four consolidated ES. MDs presented 15 ES, and the NP presented 12 ES. Responses to questions on 70 satisfaction surveys were similar for MD vs. NP presenters. 9 responders to the recently added VP-specific questions said they agreed (4) or strongly agreed (5) that it was beneficial to watch the ES at home on a computer. The Table below shows attendance per site per year. Conclusions: The ESs for men with mPC were well-received. Although there was a VP option before COVID, attendance increased significantly after the lockdown as patients and providers became more familiar with VPs. Satisfaction surveys confirmed that an NP could deliver the ES rather than MD. Consolidation of the mHSPC and mCRPC ES reflected the changing standard of care and resulted in more efficient use of presenter time. Virtual delivery of the sessions provided greater access to those living in distant or remote areas of the province and those in lockdown during the COVID pandemic. [Table: see text]

Abstract:
Healthcare workers’ COVID-19 vaccination coverage is important for staff and patient safety, workforce capacity and patient uptake. We aimed to identify COVID-19 vaccine intentions, factors associated with uptake and information needs for healthcare workers in Victoria, Australia. We administered a cross-sectional online survey to healthcare workers in hospitals, primary care and aged or disability care settings (12 February–26 March 2021). The World Health Organization Behavioural and Social Drivers of COVID-19 vaccination framework informed survey design and framing of results. Binary regression results adjusted for demographics provide risk differences between those intending and not intending to accept a COVID-19 vaccine. In total, 3074 healthcare workers completed the survey. Primary care healthcare workers reported the highest intention to accept a COVID-19 vaccine (84%, 755/898), followed by hospital-based (77%, 1396/1811) and aged care workers (67%, 243/365). A higher proportion of aged care workers were concerned about passing COVID-19 to their patients compared to those working in primary care or hospitals. Only 25% felt they had sufficient information across five vaccine topics, but those with sufficient information had higher vaccine intentions. Approximately half thought vaccines should be mandated. Despite current high vaccine rates, our results remain relevant for booster programs and future vaccination rollouts.

Abstract:
Aim. To document the roles, the perceived skills and attributes and experience required of Medical Administrators in contemporary public hospitals. Method. Interviews with Directors of Medical Services (DMS) from Victorian metropolitan public hospitals between March 2005 and May 2005. Results. A total of 14 of the 21 DMS in Victoria were interviewed. Key roles: Managing Medical Staff; Clinical Governance and Quality Improvement; Strategy and Service development; and Medical advisor to CEO. Key attributes and skills aligned with roles. Most respondents hold Fellowship of Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators (FRACMA) with over half employed for less than 2 years. Discussion. Core roles identified mirrored in key international literature. Recommendations for further study includes systematic review of literature; the influence of the medically-trained Chief Executive on roles; and further analysis of high turnover. Conclusion. This study clarifies the roles undertaken and skills required by Medical Administrators in contemporary public hospitals, providing: (1) role benchmarking for Chief Executives; (2) reduced ambiguity among the broader medical staff of the roles, to assist those who may need Medical Administrator assistance with providing patient care; (3) assisting the Medical Administration profession and RACMA to provide tailored education and training; and (4) to inform aspiring future Medical Administrators of the broad nature of such roles. What is known about the topic? There is little current Australian literature surrounding the roles and skills and experience required of Medical Administrators in Director of Medical Service positions within contemporary healthcare organisations. The roles are often poorly understood by the greater medical profession and other health professionals. This study provides clarity around the current roles and skills and experience required. What does this paper add? This study illustrates the key roles for Medical Administrators in contemporary public hospitals as (1) Managing Medical Staff (2) Clinical Governance and Quality Improvement (3) Strategy and organisational service development (4) Clinical and Medical advisor to CEO. This study also highlights the key attributes and skills that reflect the needs of the roles, with most respondents holding a Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators (RACMA). In addition, there is a high turnover with more than 50% having been in the roles less than 2 years. What are the implications for practitioners? This study clarifies the roles undertaken and skills required by Medical Administrators in contemporary public hospitals. This study (1) assists Chief Executives to benchmark appropriate roles for Medical Administrators in their hospital (2) reduces ambiguity and increases awareness amongst the broader medical staff within a hospital of the roles of a Medical Administrator. The medical staff often need to access the skills of a Medical Administrator to assist them with providing patient care (3) assists the Medical Administration profession and RACMA to tailor education and training for such roles and (4) provides aspiring future Medical Administrators with an understanding of the broad nature of such roles in hospitals.

Abstract:
Aim: To understand the level of perception & attitude of health care professionals towards Plastic Surgery & its influence on referral rate. Material: A questionnaire based survey was performed in Bahawal Victoria Hospital (tertiary care hospital) of South Punjab region of Pakistan in 2021. This survey was conducted among interns and residents of all specialties excluding dermatology, orthopaedic surgery and plastic surgery. Questionnaire was based on two parts, one for evaluation of general perception regarding the specialty and second was to evaluate their knowledge regarding different medical conditions dealt by the respective fields. Data was analyzed for each question. Results: Total of 150 junior doctors participated in this analysis. Only 44% had appropriate understanding of this specialty. 36% had unrealistic expectations of the outcomes.75% of them had good understanding of cosmetic and reconstructive aspects of this specialty. Regarding specific ailments, there was a confusion among the participants as to whom will be a preferred treating specialist. Conclusion: This confusion existed where Plastic Surgery overlaps with other modalities such as limb surgeries, head and neck tumors and trauma, nerve injuries, congenital defects and urogenital conditions. Keywords: Health care professional, reconstructive surgery, attitude

Abstract:
IntroductionSmoking remains the leading preventable cause of death for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who smoke are more likely to make a quit attempt than their non-Aboriginal counterparts but less likely to sustain the quit attempt. There is little available evidence specifically for and by Indigenous peoples to inform best practice smoking cessation care.The provision of a free Koori Quit Pack with optional nicotine replacement therapy sent by mail may be a feasible, acceptable and effective way to access stop smoking support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.Methods and analysisAn Aboriginal-led, multisite non-randomised single-group, pre–post feasibility study across three states in Australia will be conducted. Participants will be recruited via service-targeted social media advertising and during usual care at their Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services. Through a process of self-referral, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who smoke daily will complete a survey and receive mailout smoking cessation support. Data will be collected over the phone by an Aboriginal Research Assistant. This pilot study will inform the development of a larger, powered trial.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval has been obtained from the Aboriginal Health & Medical Research Council Ethics Committee of New South Wales (NSW) (#1894/21) and the University of Newcastle (#H-2022-0174). Findings will be reported through peer-reviewed journals and presentations at relevant local, national and international conferences. The findings will be shared with the NSW and Victoria Quitline, Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council and Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation and the National Heart Foundation.Trial registration numberACTRN12622000654752.

Abstract:
The aim of the research was to analyse the organisational dynamics surrounding a health care reform implementation process associated with the introduction of coordinated care, which is an Australian Government initiative to introduce structural changes to the funding and delivery of health-care in response to rising health care costs. A longitudinal case study of an implementation team was studied. This included the perceptions and experiences of individuals and institutions within hospitals, the general practice community and Divisions of General Practice. Furthermore, the case study explored organisational structures, decision-making processes and management systems of the Project and included an examination of the difficulties and conflicts that ensued. The broader context of health care reform was also considered. The study found that an effective change management strategy requires clarity around the definition of primary task in health care delivery, particularly when the task is complex and the environment uncertain. This requires a management and support structure able to accommodate the tensions that exists between providing care and managing cost, in a changing and complex system. The case study indicated that where tensions were not managed the functions of providing care and managing costs became disconnected, undermining the integrity of the task and impacting on the effective facilitation of the change process and hence, the capacity of stakeholders to embrace the model of co-ordinated care. Moreover, the micro dynamics of the project team seemed to parallel the macro dynamics of the broader system where economic and health care provision imperatives clash. Through its close analysis of change dynamics, the study provides suggestions for the improved engagement of stakeholders in health care change.

This thesis adopts a social history of medicine approach to explore the contradictions surrounding a specific attempt to develop a rural healthcare system in south-eastern colonial Zimbabwe (Southern Rhodesia) from the 1930s to the 1960s. Influenced by a combination of healthcare discourses and models, in 1930, the colony’s new medical director formulated the first comprehensive rural healthcare delivery plan, premised on the idea of ‘medical units’ or outlying dispensaries networked around rural hospitals. The main argument of the thesis is that the Ndanga Medical Unit, as this pioneer medical unit was known, was a variant of a typical colonial project characterised by tensions between innovative endeavours to control disease on the one hand, and the need to fulfil broader colonial ambitions on the other.

Abstract:
This chapter traces therapeutic holism from German Romanticism through Victorian proponents of cultural education, represented by John Stuart Mill, down to its contemporary manifestation in the work of major literary health humanists like Rita Charon, Cheryl Mattingly, and Kathryn Montgomery Hunter. It also explains the relationship of therapeutic holism to its sibling discourses, New Criticism and Millian liberalism. The former’s holistic, unified work of art parallels the latter’s proper citizen—a whole person whose wholeness is created and restored by cultural education. These linked discourses helped secure therapeutic holism’s place in interdisciplinary conversations about why medicine needs literature. The final section of the chapter critiques therapeutic holism and explains why palliative poetics offer a necessary corrective, using the work of Samuel Taylor Coleridge to illustrate the heterogeneity of Romantic literary therapies. It also surveys complementary recent work within the health humanities. Health humanists working in fields like nursing, chronic pain, and palliative care have begun to develop palliative poetics that do not expect literature to cure.

Patient involvement is more than patient surveys. Patients need appropriate information which they can understand and trust and is tailored to their specific needs at each step of the care pathway. Patients are facing difficulties navigating all the information and available options. Physicians need to understand that patients receive information from multiple sites. Many tools are available to help in shared decision-making.

Abstract:
In recent years, demographic change and increasing treatment costs in North American and European countries demand the adoption of more cost efficient, highly qualitative and integrated health care processes. The rapid growth and availability of the Internet facilitate the development of eHealth services and especially of electronic health records (EHRs) which are promising solutions to meet the aforementioned requirements. The EHR integrates all relevant medical information of a person and represents a lifelong documentation of the medical history. Considering implementations of EHRs, one of the most critical factors of success is the protection of the patient’s privacy, which is clearly reflected in surveys concerning such systems. This chapter will provide a security analysis of EHR systems, discuss basic and enhanced security methods and finally introduce levels of security to classify EHR systems.

Abstract:
Graduate medical education has become as important as attendance at medical school in the training of physicians. Up to 1970, most graduates of medical schools first took an internship in general medicine and then a residency in a specialty. After 1970, practically all medical school graduates entered residency training in a specialty immediately after graduation. Residency programs have been located in hospitals affiliated with medical schools and have been accredited by specialty boards, which have been controlled by medical school faculty members. This situation has led to insufficient breadth of training and lax regulation of the programs. The internship, which followed graduation from medical school until its elimination after 1970, consisted of one or two years of hospital training, usually unconnected with any medical specialty. It was designed to provide gradually increasing responsibility for patient care, supplemented by formal teaching in rounds and seminars. In practice, as George Miller observed in 1963, it was “virtually impossible to find an internship [program with] a graded and sequential course of study leading to relatively well-defined goals.” This was also the finding of several surveys of interns and physicians. A 1959 survey of 2,616 interns found that the two most frequently cited deficiencies of internships were lack of “sufficient review and criticism of your work with patients,” cited by 47 percent, and “adequate instruction in the application of scientific knowledge to patient care,” cited by 34 percent. A 1952 survey of 6,662 graduates of the medical school classes of 1937 and 1947 and a later survey of over 3,000 interns and residents produced similar findings. Formal instruction during the internship was usually casual and unsystematic. Stephen Miller's study of one university hospital found that interns spent only a few hours per week in formal lectures and conferences and on rounds. In teaching on rounds, “the visiting physician does not prepare a lecture or other teaching material. He simply walks onto the ward and responds to patients and their problems with opinions and examples from his own clinical experience.” The educational value of rounds therefore depended on the illnesses of the patients and the relevant skills of the physicians.

Abstract:
Introduction: Health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) as a parameter for patient well-being is becoming increasingly important.[1] Nevertheless, it is mainly used as an endpoint in studies rather than as an indicator for adjustments in therapy. In this paper we will present an approach to gradually integrate quality of life (QoL) as a control element into the care delivery of oncology. Concept: Acceptance, usability, interoperability and data protection were identified and integrated as key indicators for the development. As an initial approach, a questionnaire tool was developed to provide patients a simplified answering of questionnaires and physicians a clearer presentation of the results. Implementation: As communication standard HL7 FHIR was used and known security concepts like OpenID Concept were integrated. In a usability study, first results were achieved by asking patients in the waiting room to answer a questionnaire, which will be discussed with the physician in the appointment. This study was conducted in 2019 at theSLK Clinics Heilbronn and achieved 86% participation of all respondents with an average age of 67 years. Discussion: Although the evaluation study could prove positive results in usability and acceptance, it is necessary to aim for longitudinal surveys in order to include QoL as a control element in the therapy. However, a longitudinal survey through questionnaires leads to decreasing compliance and increasing response bias. [2] For this reason, the concept needs to be expanded. With sensors a continuous monitoring can be carried out and the data can be mapped to the individual, interpreted by machine learning. Conclusion: Questionnaires are a concept that has been successfully applied in studies for years. However, since care delivery poses different challenges, the integration of new concepts is inevitable. The authors are currently working on an extension of the use of questionnaires with patient generated data through sensors.

Abstract:
In the healthcare field, plenty of clinical data is generated every day from patient records, surveys, research papers, medical devices, among others sources. These data can be exploited to discover new insights about health issues. For helping decision makers and healthcare data managers, a survey of research works and tools covering the process of handling big data in the healthcare field is included. A methodology for CVD prevention, detection and management through the use of tools for big data analysis is proposed. Also, it is important to maintain privacy of patients when handling healthcare data; therefore, a list of recommendations for maintaining privacy when handling healthcare data is presented. Specific clinical analysis are recommended on those regions where the incidence rate of CVD is high, but a weak relation with the common risk factors is observed according to historical data. Finally, challenges which need to be addressed are presented.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to assess the current level of information technology use by primary care physicians in the U.S. Primary care physicians listed by the American Medical Association were contacted by e-mail and asked to complete a Web-based questionnaire. A total of 2,145 physicians responded. Overall, between 20% and 25% of primary care physicians reported using electronic medical records, e-prescribing, point-of-care decision support tools, and electronic communication with patients. This indicates a slow rate of adoption since 2000. Differences in adoption rates suggest that future surveys need to differentiate primary care and office-based physicians by specialty. An important finding is that one-third of the physicians surveyed expressed no interest in the four IT applications. Overcoming this barrier may require efforts by medical specialty societies to educate their members in the benefits of IT in practice. The majority of physicians perceived benefits of IT, but they cited costs, vendor inability to deliver acceptable products, and concerns about privacy and confidentiality as major barriers to implementation of IT applications. Overcoming the cost barrier may require that payers and the federal government share the costs of implementing these IT applications.

Abstract:
Introducing new technology, such as an electronic medical record (EMR) into an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), can contribute to nurses’ stress and negative consequences for patient safety. The aim of this study was to explore ICU nurses’ perceptions of factors expected to influence their adoption of an EMR in their workplace. The objectives were to: 1) measure psychological factors expected to influence ICU nurses’ adoption of EMR, and 2) explore perceptions of facilitators and barriers to the implementation of an EMR in their workplace. Using an explanatory sequential mixed method approach, data were collected using surveys and focus groups. ICU nurses reported high scores for motivation, work engagement and wellbeing. Focus group analyses revealed two themes: Hope the EMR will bring a new world and Fear of unintended consequences. Recommendations relate to strategies for education and training, environmental restructuring and enablement. Overall, ICU nurses were optimistic about EMR implementation.

Abstract:
Due to demographic development and rising problems in cost and resource management in health care and social systems, higher demands with respect to assistance for the elderly in everyday life are to be expected. Especially the need for mobile walker to assist people with developmental differences has risen throughout the years. Against this background, ergonomic product design is used in most parts of the construction of such walkers and their properties. On this basis, much care is taken in designing the man/technology interfaces (MTI) to increase the usability of medical products. Surveys of users have shown that an improvement of MTI of mobile walkers is necessary. This medical equipment allows deriving forces which need to be transmitted by the human hand. The ergonomic design of the walker handles needs to be adapted to the user requirements. In this paper, several problems with conventional handles and the problems such handles cause are discussed. To prove the benefits of adapting the handles to ensure better support, conclusions based on the results from experiments that were carried out are drawn. Increasing the usability by reconstructing the product with a user-oriented geometry and taking ergonomic aspects into consideration is achieved comparatively easily.

Abstract:
The Value Based Health Care (VBHC) has recently become the leading conceptual approach to health care in the world, but no value-based healthcare programme has yet been established in Latvia. Despite the critical interest in the implementation of VBHC programmes on the part of the health sector stakeholders, still the key persons in VBHC programmes are physicians. Goal of research: To clarify the views of physicians and young physicians on values-based health care fundamental principles and their vision for their further inclusion in Latvian health care. Method: The research uses data from a survey conducted among physicians and young physicians who practice at Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital.Results: 42% of physicians responded that patient surveys on the effectiveness of treatment for certain groups of patients could help to improve the results of treatment; 51% of physicians responded that patient surveys on their experience during treatment can help to improve their treatment results; much more cautious were physicians regarding the question whether comparing the results of treatment between physicians teams/hospitals could help to improve the results – 39% replied ‘Yes’ and 24% ‘Rather yes than no’; similarly cautious was the reply to the question whether the voluntary public availability of treatment results from a medical treatment facility could have a positive impact on the visibility of the service provider – 31% replied ‘Yes’ and 25% ‘Rather yes’; the convincing 82% of replies were to the question whether an exchange of experience and knowledge in the team of physicians helps to improve the results of treatment; the convincing majority of 86% of physicians believe that a multidisciplinary team of physicians can help improve the results of treatment; as a positive response, can be considered that 63% of respondents think that reforms in health care may be initiated not only by the Ministry of Health. The most interesting answer would be to the question of what management strategies should be developed in the healthcare system, where the first place, with 349 points, was taken by the answer “Cooperation with external partners (manufacturers, scientific centres, insurers, IT and other service providers)”.Conclusions: The results of the survey show that the application of VBHC principles will not contradict to views of physicians on traditional management models in health care and their role in it.Proposals: However, prior to starting the introduction of VBHC programmes in Latvian health care, there are grounds for launching discussions on the benefits of VBHC compared to the traditional management model. Policy recommendations: For hospital management and health sector supervisors to avoid resistance of physicians to implementing VBHC, the strategy should focus not on VBHC resource-efficient programmes but on patient-centred healthcare.

Abstract:
Digital health initiatives have become popular in all jurisdictions across the globe. The digital health move, though it is envisioned as a cost-effective way to ensure the availability of health care services especially for the people who live in rural areas, its success depends on the response of the health care system and the state control and regulation. India lacks a comprehensive statesponsored or state-regulated health care system and more than 70 percent of people utilise the private sector medical services. In this backdrop, the implementation of the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM), announced by the Government of India very recently, will be critical. Thus, this research paper strives to bring out the public-private disjunction in the availability and utilisation of public and private health care facilities, issues of health care financing and legal regulation of clinical establishments in the public and private sector. This study uses the doctrinal method and analyses the Five-Year Plans, National Sample Survey Reports, National Health Profile, National Health Accounts Estimates for India and other Government Reports and independent studies to detail the public-private dichotomy. However, this study finds limitations in presenting the current position of private health care service providers due to the unavailability of updated authoritative government reports/ studies/ surveys. On reviewing the currents trends in the public and private health care sector, the study finds that the private sector has surpassed the public sector in all means, including health provisioning, utilisation, and financing. The NDHM is a laudable initiative to ensure affordable health care to millions of people in India. However, any move to implement it, leaving the fundamental issue of deep-rooted public-private dichotomy existing in the healthcare sector will be detrimental. It will result in a digital divide in the public and private healthcare sector and gross violation of patients’ rights and mismanagement of health information.

Improving the counseling and medical care of postabortion patients in Egypt. Population Council, 1995. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1995.1026.

Full text
Abstract:
This pilot study conducted in Cairo and Minya examined the effects of improving the medical care and counseling of post-abortion patients in Egypt. A pre-test/post-test, no control group study design was used to measure the effects of an intervention that upgraded physicians' clinical and interpersonal communication skills for the care of post-abortion patients, including counseling and family planning (FP). The study's surveys utilized direct interviews with staff working in the OB/GYN wards, structured observations of treatment procedures and counseling of post-abortion patients, and interviews with patients prior to discharge. Changes in the clinical management of post-abortion patients were introduced through a five-day training program in each hospital for senior staff, who then trained junior colleagues individually. Training for nurses and other paramedical personnel was also provided. Results demonstrate that the use of vacuum aspiration for treating post-abortion patients offers significant potential benefits for women, service providers, and the health care system. As this report states, the challenge now is to consolidate the experience gained from this study and develop a larger-scale introduction program in Egypt for the use of vacuum aspiration, combined with minimal pain-control medication and improved counseling.
