Abstract:
Provider interactions other than explicit care coordination, which is challenging to measure, may influence practice and outcomes. We performed a network analysis using claims data from a commercial payor. Networks were identified based on provider pairs billing outpatient care for the same patient. We compared network variables among patients who had and did not have a 30-day readmission after hospitalization for heart failure. After adjusting for comorbidities, high median provider connectedness—normalized degree, which for each provider is the number of connections to other providers normalized to the number of providers in the region—was the network variable associated with reduced odds of readmission after heart failure hospitalization (odds ratio = 0.55; 95% confidence interval [0.35, 0.86]). We conclude that heart failure patients with high provider connectedness are less likely to require readmission. The structure and importance of provider relationships using claims data merits further study.

Abstract:
Abstract Objective We assess working relationships and collaborations within and between diabetes health care provider teams using social network analysis and a multi-scale community detection. Materials and Methods Retrospective analysis of claims data from a large employer over 2 years was performed. The study cohort contained 827 patients diagnosed with diabetes. The cohort received care from 2567 and 2541 health care providers in the first and second year, respectively. Social network analysis was used to identify networks of health care providers involved in the care of patients with diabetes. A multi-scale community detection was applied to the network to identify groups of health care providers more densely connected. Social network analysis metrics identified influential providers for the overall network and for each community of providers. Results Centrality measures identified medical laboratories and mail-order pharmacies as the central providers for the 2 years. Seventy-six percent of the detected communities included primary care physicians, and 97% of the communities included specialists. Pharmacists were detected as central providers in 24% of the communities. Discussion Social network analysis measures identified the central providers in the network of diabetes health care providers. These providers could be considered as influencers in the network that could enhance the implication of promotion programs through their access to a large number of patients and providers. Conclusion The proposed framework provides multi-scale metrics for assessing care team relationships. These metrics can be used by implementation experts to identify influential providers for care interventions and by health service researchers to determine impact of team relationships on patient outcomes.

Abstract:
Abstract Background In the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), predefined acuity-based team care models are restricted to core roles and neglect interactions with providers outside of the team, such as interactions that transpire via electronic health record (EHR) systems. These unaccounted interactions may be related to the efficiency of resource allocation, information flow, communication, and thus impact patient outcomes. This study applied network analysis methods to EHR audit logs to model the interactions of providers beyond their core roles to better understand the interaction network patterns of acuity-based teams and relationships of the network structures with postsurgical length of stay (PSLOS). Methods The study used the EHR log data of surgical neonates from a large academic medical center. The study included 104 surgical neonates, for whom 9,206 unique actions were performed by 457 providers in their EHRs. We applied network analysis methods to model EHR provider interaction networks of acuity-based teams in NICU postoperative care. We partitioned each EHR network into three subnetworks based on interaction types: (1) interactions between known core providers who were documented in scheduling records (core subnetwork); (2) interactions between core and noncore providers (extended subnetwork); and (3) interactions between noncore providers (extended subnetwork). For each core subnetwork, we assessed its capability to replicate predefined core-provider relations as documented in scheduling records. We further compared each EHR network, as well as its subnetworks, using standard network measures to determine its differences in network topologies. We conducted a case study to learn provider interaction networks taking care of 15 neonates who underwent gastrostomy tube placement surgery from EHR log data and measure the effectiveness of the interaction networks on PSLOS by the proportional-odds model. Results The provider networks of four acuity-based teams (two high and two low acuity), along with their subnetworks, were discovered. We found that beyond capturing the predefined core-provider relations, EHR audit logs can also learn a large number of relations between core and noncore providers or among noncore providers. Providers in the core subnetwork exhibited a greater number of connections with each other than with providers in the extended subnetworks. Many more providers in the core subnetwork serve as a hub than those in the other types of subnetworks. We also found that high-acuity teams exhibited more complex network structures than low-acuity teams, with high-acuity team generating 6,416 interactions between 407 providers compared with 931 interactions between 124 providers, respectively. In addition, we discovered that high-acuity and low-acuity teams shared more than 33 and 25% of providers with each other, respectively, but exhibited different collaborative structures demonstrating that NICU providers shift across different acuity teams and exhibit different network characteristics. Results of case study show that providers, whose patients had lower PSLOS, tended to disperse patient-related information to more colleagues within their network than those who treated higher PSLOS patients (p = 0.03). Conclusion Network analysis can be applied to EHR log data to model acuity-based NICU teams capturing interactions between providers within the predesigned core team as well as those outside of the core team. In the NICU, dissemination of information may be linked to reduced PSLOS. EHR log data provide an efficient, accessible, and research-friendly way to study provider interaction networks. Findings should guide improvements in the EHR system design to facilitate effective interactions between providers.

Abstract:
This study looks at how to describe vehicular network connectivity using MATLAB simulation of an E. coli biological system. The model takes advantage of E. coli’s ability to adapt to environmental changes and variations by having stable states, which allows E. coli to continue surviving and developing, and uses this property to improve vehicular network connectivity to network service providers. As a result, an adaptive response to network pattern changes in terms of signal quality and stability can be obtained, as well as acceptable levels of connectivity in a changing environment via a handover mechanism. After applying it to four distinct networks, this probability-based technique was shown to work through simulation. The four networks used successfully completed the handover and maintained connectivity at various threshold levels. The impact of signal threshold variations and network sensitivity in reaction to surroundings on the handover process is also discussed in the study. By introducing two new physiologically based metrics (threshold and sensitivity), the goal of delivering Quality of Service (QoS) is realized. The used adaptive biological model allows for the selection probability λ to change according to the number of participating networks under certain environmental conditions. Noise effect is also discussed in the presented work as it affects network signals but does not affect the adaptive handover process, due to the built intelligence of the bio-inspired model.

Abstract:
La tarification des réseaux de communication a une longue histoire et un impact sur le développement des réseaux et les services de communication. Dans la littérature, les stratégies de prix sont utilisées par les fournisseurs de réseau pour le contrôle de congestion et la signalisation, la maximisation du profit et l'amélioration des services offerts à leurs clients. L'évolution de l'interconnexion des fournisseurs de réseaux égoïstes devant transférer le trafic des concurrents requiert la mise en place de mécanismes adaptés. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons de définir des mécanismes d'incitation économique pour encourager les ISPs à coopérer afin de créer un réseau efficace. Nous concentrons notre attention sur l'application de mécanismes d'enchères pour résoudre ces problèmes. Dans la littérature, le mécanisme d'enchères VCG a été appliqué aux problèmes d'allocation des ressources en raison de ses propriétés de rationalité individuelle, compatibilité d'incitation et d'efficacité (en termes de maximisation des profits nets de tous les utilisateurs). Le défaut le plus important de VCG est qu'il ne vérifie pas l'équilibre budgétaire pour des enchères double faces. Nous avons montré qu'il y a d'autres questions oubliées dans les travaux précédents et que VCG n'est pas pratique à appliquer à la tarification de l'inter-domaine. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons un algorithme distribué pour l'allocation de ressources sur les chemins basé sur le mécanisme d'enchères. Le mécanisme de tarification proposé est équilibré budgétairement, individuellement rationnel, BGP-compatible, mais relâche légèrement les propriétés de compatibilité d'incitation et d'efficacité. Nous étudions aussi l'application d'un mécanisme d'enchères combinatoires aux opérateurs de réseaux sans fil en concurrence. Nous formulons la décision de "han- dover" (VHD) entre opérateurs pour des clients mobiles par un problème de tarification. La tarification proposée utilise le rapport signal-bruit plus interférences (SINR), la puissance de transmission et le coût monétaire comme critères de décision. Plusieurs mécanismes d'enchères combinatoires sont proposés afin de maximiser le bien)être social, ainsi que des incitations pour les utilisateurs mobiles et les opérateurs à dire la vérité sur leurs valuations et coûts
Pricing communication networks has a long history and a strong impact on the development of network technologies and communication services. In the literature, pricing strategies are used by network providers for congestion control and signaling, profit maximization and improved offered services to their customers. The evolution of inter-connected and selfish network providers requiring to forward traffic of others brings mechanism design issues. This thesis aims at defining economics incentives to encourage the ISPs to be cooperative in order to create a working and efficient network. We focus on the application of auction mechanism to solve the problem. In the literature, VCG auctions have been widely applied in resource allocation problems since they have the properties of individual rationality, incentive compatibility and efficiency (in terms of maximizing the net profits of all users). The most important drawback of VCG auctions is that it does not verify budget balance. We have shown that there are other issues forgotten in previous works and that it is not practical to apply VCG auctions to inter-domain pricing. In this thesis, we propose a distributed algorithm for allocating bandwidth over paths based on double-sided auction. The proposed pricing mechanism is strongly budget-balanced, individually rational, BGP-compatible, but relaxes incentive compatibility and efficiency. We also study the application of combinatorial double-sided auctions to competitive mobile wireless network operators. We formulate the vertical handover decision (VHD) strategies between competitive mobile operators and mobile users as a pricing problem. The proposed pricing schemes make use of signal-to-noise-interference (SINR), power transmission allocation, achievable data rates and monetary cost as decision criteria. Several combinatorial double-sided auctions are proposed to maximize the social welfare and to provide incentives to mobile users and mobile operators to be truth telling in terms of valuations or cost

Abstract:
Consider a set of points and an associated demand for traffic between each pair of points. In this thesis, we consider the perspective of a notional Network Service Provider (NSP) who has to decide on the connections to build and the demands to satisfy in order to maximize its profits. The NSP makes these decisions based on the demand for connectivity and the constraints on their resources needed to provide the connections. We perform numerical experiments to study the tensions faced by the NSP in its decisions to structure its service network. Through the results generated, we infer how demand, revenue and cost influence the decisions of the NSP.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a complete alternative service composition model named Service Trading Marketplace Network (STAMP-Net). The primary concept is to improve overall system scalability and introduce a fair business scheme for customers and providers. STAPM-Net focuses on designing an architecture based on both technical and business aspect. In STAMP-NET, users remain the ability to choose their preference service providers from potential-provider lists, and service providers are able to compete for the requested services that they can handle. For these purposes, STAMP-Net introduce a concept of 'Service Trading Marketplace Mechanism' which facilitates a problem of 'conflict of interest'; 'Indirect Service Discovery' which allows service providers to the learn existing of services being offered by other service providers; and 'Service Subcontract System' which allows service providers to subcontract any missing service to other potential service providers. In addition, this thesis also present monitor techniques, which are used to ensure the quality of services.

In its attempt to sustain the growth expectations in an increasingly competitive market, Intel Corporation has invested in a number of new products and services, which differ significantly from its core semiconductor business. In 2000, Intel purchased 12 companies, amounting to an investment value of approximately 6 billion dollars. Associated with these various businesses ventures are new customers, new channels, different product attributes, uncertain demand profiles, and various service requirements, all of which have a direct impact on Intel's strategy for physical distribution. The existing logistics infrastructure is not equipped to optimally distribute the greater product mix and respond to the added complexities. The integration of third party logistics providers into its current distribution network may enhance Intel's ability to respond to the growing needs of the diversified product offerings. This thesis explores the decision to outsource logistics activities. It presents both the financial and non-financial, strategic and operational factors, which affect the decision. The decision framework presented is applied to the current business situation at Intel and an outsourcing strategy, which both addresses the current distribution challenges, and compliments the overall strategy of the corporation, is recommended. The description of the recommended distribution strategy is followed by a discussion of the complications associated with executing the strategy and guidelines for effective supplier management in a logistics context. The decision to outsource is just one of the decisions analyzed in the development of distribution strategies. Studying the strategies utilized by other organizations can enhance the competitiveness of a firm's logistics network. This paper also describes the methodology developed for exchanging logistics information with other companies, and based on the evidence from the specific study conducted by Intel's Planning and Logistics Group, discusses the critical success factors for future external studies.

Abstract:
We developed a price-based resource allocation scheme for Differentiated Service (DiffServ) data networks. The DiffServ framework was proposed to provide multiple QoS classes over IP networks. Since the provider supports multiple service classes, we need a differentiated pricing scheme, as supposed to the flat-rate scheme employed by the Internet service providers of today. Charging efficiently is a big issue. The utility of a client correlates to the amount of bandwidth allocated. One difficulty we face is that determining the appropriate amount of bandwidth to provision and allocate is problematic due to different time scales, multiple QoS classes and the unpredictable nature of users. To approach this problem, we designed a pricing strategy for Admission Control and bandwidth assignment. Despite the variety of existing pricing strategies, the common theme is that the appropriate pricing policy rewards users for behaving in ways to improve the overall utilization and performance of the network. Among existing schemes, we chose auction because it is scalable, and efficiently and fairly shares resources. Our pricing model takes the system's availability and each customer's requirements as inputs and outputs the set of clients who are admitted into the network and their allocated resource. Each client proposes a desired bandwidth and a price that they are willing to pay for it. The service provider collects this information and produces parameters for each class of service they provide. This information is used to decide which customers to admit. We proposed an optimal solution to the problem of maximizing the provider's revenue for the special case where there is only one bottleneck link in the network. Then for the generalized network, we resort to a simple but effective heuristic method. We validate both the optimal solution and the heuristic algorithm with simulations driven by a real traffic scenario. Finally, we allow customers to bid on the duration for which the service is needed. Then we study the performance of those heuristic algorithms in this new setting and propose possible improvements.

Abstract:
Network-RTK is a method of relative measuring using GNSS that provides users in alarge area with an easy way obtaining low uncertainties in their measurements. Regularnetwork-RTK does not meet the requirements of the Swedish Transport Administration(STA) regarding its larger and/or more complex projects, leading to the concept ofproject-based network-RTK being introduced in Sweden by the STA, in collaborationwith the network-RTK service provider SWEPOS back in 2004. This concept improvesupon regular network-RTK by decreasing the uncertainties and increasing reliabilitieswithin the project area. SWEPOS has since the collaboration back in 2004 supplied theSTA with project-based network-RTK services.The market is not the same today as it was in 2004 and there are more service providersactive in Sweden. This thesis intends to find out if this new market means that there areother alternatives to SWEPOS with regards to the STA’s requirements for project-basednetwork-RTK. This is done through a technical comparison of the different serviceprovider’s measurement uncertainties and their measurement accuracies as well as acomparison of their surrounding infrastructure and the subjective user experience.Similar studies have been conducted before (Edwards et al., 2010) (Martin andMacGovern, 2012) (Saeidi, 2012), but never in Sweden nor with SWEPOS as one of theservice providers as it is only available in Sweden. Neither have they had a focus onmeasurement uncertainties and accuracies in a project-based network-RTK net. Theyhave all concluded that there were no significant differences between any of the serviceproviders compared, in both the measurement uncertainties and accuracies.For the technical part of this thesis, measurements were conducted at four sites: two atdifferent locations within the area of a former, STA project-site, one within the regularnet and the final site outside the entire net, with the amount of collected data varying forthe different sites. Five different GNSS receivers of different brands were used for themeasurements to make it as general as possible.The results show that there are slight differences in the height uncertainty, but the scopeof this thesis does not permit the full correlation study needed to determine if thesedifferences are significant. There does not seem to be any differences in the accuracies ofthe service provider. Some of the sites with less data collected show contradictoryevidence to this statement, but it is deemed that these deviations are more likely relatedto something other than the service providers, such as human interference or errors.Large differences exist in the user experience and surrounding infrastructure, an areawhere SWEPOS at the moment has a clear lead. This is believed to be due to SWEPOSprimarily being a network-RTK service provider and thus allocating more resources andpersonnel, whilst the other service providers also serve as equipment vendor andmaintainers.Combining the two comparison parts leads to the overall conclusion that with theservice providers in their current state with the requirements of the STA specified intheir current state, only SWEPOS is a viable alternative as a supplier of project-basednetwork-RTK. But this is something that could change with relative ease depending on ifthe other service providers allocate more resources.
Nätverks-RTK är en metod för relativ mätning med hjälp av GNSS som ger användare istora områden ett enkelt sätt att förbättra osäkerheterna i sina mätningar. I början av2000 talet då frågan om alternativa lösningar till stomnät på marken aktualiseradesuppfyllde inte tillgängliga nätverks-RTK-lösningar Trafikverkets (TrV) krav påmätningar när det gäller dess större och/eller mer komplexa projekt. Något som leddetill att konceptet projektbaserad nätverks-RTK infördes i Sverige av TrV i samarbetemed tjänsteleverantören SWEPOS 2004. Detta koncept förbättrar vanlig nätverks-RTKgenom att minska osäkerheterna ytterligare och öka tillförlitligheten inom ett mindreprojektområde. SWEPOS har sedan detta samarbete 2004 levererat projektbaseradenätverks-RTK tjänster till TrV.Marknaden är inte samma dag som den var 2004 och det finns fler verksammatjänsteleverantörer i Sverige. Detta examensarbete avser att ta reda på om denna nyamarknad innebär att det finns andra alternativ till SWEPOS med avseende på de kravTrV har på projektbaserad nätverks-RTK. Något som sker genom en teknisk jämförelseav de olika tjänsteleverantörernas mätosäkerheter och deras noggrannheter samt enjämförelse av deras omgivande infrastruktur och den subjektiva användarupplevelsen.Liknande studier har gjorts tidigare (Edwards et al., 2010) (Martin och MacGovern2012) (Saeidi, 2012), men aldrig i Sverige och med SWEPOS som ett avjämförelseobjekten. De har inte heller haft fokus på mätosäkerheter och noggrannheterunder projektbaserade nätverks-RTK förhållanden. De har alla haft samma slutsats: attdet inte finns några signifikanta skillnader mellan de jämförda tjänsteleverantörerna.För den tekniska jämförelsen har mätningar utförts på fyra platser: två inom ettbefintligt TrV projektområde, en i det ordinarie nätet och den sista utanför hela nätet,där den insamlade datamängden varierar för de olika platserna. Fem olika GNSSmottagareav olika märken användes för att göra mätningarna så allmänna som möjligt.Resultaten visar att det finns små osäkerhetsskillnader i höjd, men för att avgöra omdessa skillnader är signifikanta eller ej så skulle en fullständig korrelationsanalys av deolika tjänsteleverantörerna behövas, något som inte ryms inom detta arbete. Det verkarinte heller finnas några signifikanta skillnader i noggrannhet hos tjänsteleverantören.Några av platser med mindre mängd insamlad data uppvisar motsägande resultat, mendetta bedöms bero mer på andra faktorer än tjänsteleverantörer i sig, såsom mänskligpåverkan etc.Användarupplevelsen och tjänsteleverantörernas omgivande infrastruktur uppvisarstörre skillnader, där SWEPOS för tillfället har ett klart övertag. Detta tros bero påSWEPOS främst är en tjänsteleverantör av nätverks-RTK och därmed har merdedikerade resurser och personal, men de andra tjänsteleverantörerna även agerarleverantörer/försäljare av utrustning.En kombination av de två jämförelsedelarna leder till en mer generell slutsats att medalla tjänsteleverantörer i sina nuvarande tillstånd alternativt utan en eventuellomformulering av TrVs krav, är enbart SWEPOS ett alternativ som leverantör avprojektbaserad nätverks-RTK lösningar till TrV. Men detta är något som kan förändrasmed relativ snabbt beroende på om andra tjänsteleverantörerna avsätter mer resursereller om kraven formuleras om.

Abstract:
Marketers use relationship marketing in order to establish mutually beneficial long-term relationships with their customers as a means to retain these customers in the competitive market environment. Relationship marketing should, however, not be used to target each and every customer as not all customers want to build long-term relationships with organisations. In order to identify the most profitable customers to target through relationship marketing, organisations should consider their customers' relationship intentions to form long-term relationships with them. The primary objective of this study was to determine young adults' (aged 18 to 25) relationship intentions towards the South African cell phone network providers they use, namely Vodacom, MTN or Cell C. This was done by considering the five constructs used to measure relationship intention, namely involvement, expectations, forgiveness, feedback and fear of relationship loss. A focus group was used to determine which features related to cell phone network providers young adults consider when selecting a cell phone network provider. This data was used to develop a self-administered questionnaire, which was distributed among respondents studying at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University in the North-West Provirice. A convenience (non­ probability) sampling method was used and a total of 315 respondents participated in this study. The distribution between the cell phone network providers was Vodacom (115), MTN (101) and Cell C (99). Initial data analysis revealed that 73% of respondents had high relationship intentions, while the remainder (26%) had low relationship intentions of forming long-term relationships with their respective cell phone network providers. By means of a factor analysis it was determined that the five relationship intention factors, namely involvement, expectations, forgiveness, feedback and fear of relationship loss, were valid and reliable to measure the relationship intentions of respondents. The results further indicated that respondents with a t"iigh relationship intention are more involved with thei r cell phone network providers and feared losing thei r relationships with their cell phone network providers more than those respondents with a low relationship intention. Furthermore, respondents from the different cell phone network providers do not view the five factors comprising relationship intention differently, but they do differ with regards to other factors related to cell phone network providers. It was found that the majority of respondents regard Vodacom (not necessarily the respondent's cell phone network provider) as the cell phone network provider with the latest technology, as being the quickest, having the best coverage, best handsets, coolest image and best service. The majority of respondents regard Cell C as being the cheapest and MTN as being the most expensive. Results also indicate that respondents' parents play an important role with regard to the choice of their cell phone network providers as the majority of respondents' parents initially chose the cell phone network providers and pay their cellular expenses. It is recommended that cell phone network providers should target young adults' parents with a view to gain a foothold in the young adult market. Furthermore, it is recommended that cell phone network providers should determine how their customers perceive them as compared with competitors in order to better position themselves and to improve communication with young adults. Most importantly, it is recommended that cell phone network providers should identify those young adults with high relationship intentions (those young adults who are more involved with and fear losing their relationship with the cell phone network provider more) in order to retain them by attempting to build long-term relationships with these young adults through dedicated relationship marketing efforts. Recommendations for future research include examining relationship intention with regards to other age groups (such as scholars and adults), other service industries and other geographical areas. Furthermore, the influence which young adults exert on decisions concerning cell phone network providers and the influence of parents on young adults' product and service choices, can be explored in future research by means of the family decision roles.

Abstract:
Despite increasing recognition of public health and rights issues associated with human trafficking globally and in the United States following the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, there has been limited research on how to systematically strengthen service access for survivors of sex and labor trafficking. The experience of service providers may provide insight into how trafficking survivor responses and service networks function in California’s Bay Area. This study explores provider perspectives on existing service networks and collaboration dynamics, including the barriers to and enablers of long-term service provision and survivor follow-up. A participatory research design included qualitative interviews with key informants working at nongovernmental organizations, organizational website reviews, and consultation with network service providers in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. This study approach allowed for eliciting in-depth reflections of service provision, collective generation of stakeholder mapping, and consensus-driven recommendations arising from barriers and enablers to anti-trafficking service provision. This report enhances stakeholder awareness of existing organizational and policy resources and offers insights into research and programming on how anti-trafficking service response networks can be strengthened to provide survivor-centric support in the long-term.

Full text
Abstract:
Childhood asthma is a significant public health problem in the United States. Barriers to effective asthma management in children include the need for caregivers to identify and manage diverse environmental triggers and promote appropriate use of preventive asthma medications. Although health care providers may introduce asthma treatments and care plans, many providers lack the time and capacity to educate caregivers about asthma in an ongoing, sustained manner. To help address these complexities of asthma care, many providers and caregivers rely on patient navigators (defined as persons who provide patients with a particular set of services and who address barriers to care) (Dohan & Schrag, 2005). Despite growing interest in their value for chronic disease management, researchers and providers know little about how or what benefits patient navigators can provide to caregivers in managing asthma in children. To explore this issue, we conducted a mixed-method evaluation involving focus groups and a survey with caregivers of children with moderate-to-severe asthma who were enrolled in the Merck Childhood Asthma Network Initiative (MCAN). Findings suggest that patient navigators may support children’s asthma management by providing individualized treatment plans and hands-on practice, improving caregivers’ understanding of environmental triggers and their mitigation, and giving clear, accessible instructions for proper medication management. Study results may help to clarify and further develop the role of patient navigators for the effective management of asthma in children.

McKenna, Patrick, and Mark Evans. Emergency Relief and complex service delivery: Towards better outcomes. Queensland University of Technology, June 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5204/rep.eprints.211133.

Full text
Abstract:
Emergency Relief (ER) is a Department of Social Services (DSS) funded program, delivered by 197 community organisations (ER Providers) across Australia, to assist people facing a financial crisis with financial/material aid and referrals to other support programs. ER has been playing this important role in Australian communities since 1979. Without ER, more people living in Australia who experience a financial crisis might face further harm such as crippling debt or homelessness. The Emergency Relief National Coordination Group (NCG) was established in April 2020 at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic to advise the Minister for Families and Social Services on the implementation of ER. To inform its advice to the Minister, the NCG partnered with the Institute for Governance at the University of Canberra to conduct research to understand the issues and challenges faced by ER Providers and Service Users in local contexts across Australia. The research involved a desktop review of the existing literature on ER service provision, a large survey which all Commonwealth ER Providers were invited to participate in (and 122 responses were received), interviews with a purposive sample of 18 ER Providers, and the development of a program logic and theory of change for the Commonwealth ER program to assess progress. The surveys and interviews focussed on ER Provider perceptions of the strengths, weaknesses, future challenges, and areas of improvement for current ER provision. The trend of increasing case complexity, the effectiveness of ER service delivery models in achieving outcomes for Service Users, and the significance of volunteering in the sector were investigated. Separately, an evaluation of the performance of the NCG was conducted and a summary of the evaluation is provided as an appendix to this report. Several themes emerged from the review of the existing literature such as service delivery shortcomings in dealing with case complexity, the effectiveness of case management, and repeat requests for service. Interviews with ER workers and Service Users found that an uplift in workforce capability was required to deal with increasing case complexity, leading to recommendations for more training and service standards. Several service evaluations found that ER delivered with case management led to high Service User satisfaction, played an integral role in transforming the lives of people with complex needs, and lowered repeat requests for service. A large longitudinal quantitative study revealed that more time spent with participants substantially decreased the number of repeat requests for service; and, given that repeat requests for service can be an indicator of entrenched poverty, not accessing further services is likely to suggest improvement. The interviews identified the main strengths of ER to be the rapid response and flexible use of funds to stabilise crisis situations and connect people to other supports through strong local networks. Service Users trusted the system because of these strengths, and ER was often an access point to holistic support. There were three main weaknesses identified. First, funding contracts were too short and did not cover the full costs of the program—in particular, case management for complex cases. Second, many Service Users were dependent on ER which was inconsistent with the definition and intent of the program. Third, there was inconsistency in the level of service received by Service Users in different geographic locations. These weaknesses can be improved upon with a joined-up approach featuring co-design and collaborative governance, leading to the successful commissioning of social services. The survey confirmed that volunteers were significant for ER, making up 92% of all workers and 51% of all hours worked in respondent ER programs. Of the 122 respondents, volunteers amounted to 554 full-time equivalents, a contribution valued at $39.4 million. In total there were 8,316 volunteers working in the 122 respondent ER programs. The sector can support and upskill these volunteers (and employees in addition) by developing scalable training solutions such as online training modules, updating ER service standards, and engaging in collaborative learning arrangements where large and small ER Providers share resources. More engagement with peak bodies such as Volunteering Australia might also assist the sector to improve the focus on volunteer engagement. Integrated services achieve better outcomes for complex ER cases—97% of survey respondents either agreed or strongly agreed this was the case. The research identified the dimensions of service integration most relevant to ER Providers to be case management, referrals, the breadth of services offered internally, co-location with interrelated service providers, an established network of support, workforce capability, and Service User engagement. Providers can individually focus on increasing the level of service integration for their ER program to improve their ability to deal with complex cases, which are clearly on the rise. At the system level, a more joined-up approach can also improve service integration across Australia. The key dimensions of this finding are discussed next in more detail. Case management is key for achieving Service User outcomes for complex cases—89% of survey respondents either agreed or strongly agreed this was the case. Interviewees most frequently said they would provide more case management if they could change their service model. Case management allows for more time spent with the Service User, follow up with referral partners, and a higher level of expertise in service delivery to support complex cases. Of course, it is a costly model and not currently funded for all Service Users through ER. Where case management is not available as part of ER, it might be available through a related service that is part of a network of support. Where possible, ER Providers should facilitate access to case management for Service Users who would benefit. At a system level, ER models with a greater component of case management could be implemented as test cases. Referral systems are also key for achieving Service User outcomes, which is reflected in the ER Program Logic presented on page 31. The survey and interview data show that referrals within an integrated service (internal) or in a service hub (co-located) are most effective. Where this is not possible, warm referrals within a trusted network of support are more effective than cold referrals leading to higher take-up and beneficial Service User outcomes. However, cold referrals are most common, pointing to a weakness in ER referral systems. This is because ER Providers do not operate or co-locate with interrelated services in many cases, nor do they have the case management capacity to provide warm referrals in many other cases. For mental illness support, which interviewees identified as one of the most difficult issues to deal with, ER Providers offer an integrated service only 23% of the time, warm referrals 34% of the time, and cold referrals 43% of the time. A focus on referral systems at the individual ER Provider level, and system level through a joined-up approach, might lead to better outcomes for Service Users. The program logic and theory of change for ER have been documented with input from the research findings and included in Section 4.3 on page 31. These show that ER helps people facing a financial crisis to meet their immediate needs, avoid further harm, and access a path to recovery. The research demonstrates that ER is fundamental to supporting vulnerable people in Australia and should therefore continue to be funded by government.

Abstract:
In the last 20 years, social accountability initiatives have facilitated the inclusion and participation of marginalised groups in governance processes. This Policy Briefing focuses on how and what factors prove effective in strengthening women’s voice in processes holding public service providers accountable. We argue that initiatives must: (a) build technical and other forms of capacity amongst women; (b) change formal rules on women’s inclusion; (c) apply political economy analysis to unpack power dynamics, identify actors in favour of gender equality, and build a network in support of women; and (d) make long-term funding commitments for sustainable change in gender-biased norms.
