Abstract:
In common with other areas of public services, recent years have seen a shift in the National Health Service (NHS), with increased power and authority transferring from professionals towards the users of services. As a result, user involvement has come to form a central element of government policy on public services, and health in particular, with a series of specific policy commitments to give users a stronger voice and to involve them in the health service having been published by both the Westminster and Scottish parliaments. These seek to increase users’ involvement in making decisions about their own care and treatment, in examining and improving the quality of services and in policy and planning activity. In doing so, this policy aspires to respond to the changing culture of personal and societal expectations of health and the health service; to build democratic participation in the difficult targeting and rationing decisions faced by health agencies and, thus, to help renew public trust and strengthen confidence in the NHS. These are ambitious aims with far-reaching implications as they represent a transformation in the interaction between users, health professionals and health policy makers. This thesis examined how this policy has been understood and implemented in the NHS by exploring the scope, relevance and quality of the user involvement processes available in three health service settings. In order to develop a better understanding of the issues in user involvement it explored the nature of user participation; the character of user representation and the barriers and facilitators to user involvement in maternity, gynaecological oncology and mental health services. The study examined the response to this policy within these three settings; the functioning of existing user involvement mechanisms and their capacity to involve users in determining their individual health care and in shaping health services and policy to their definition of need. From this examination it defined the key features of a model process for user involvement within the professional service culture and organisational ethos of the NHS. The study then drew conclusions on the capacity of these current user involvement processes to deliver on the policy directive to develop both individual treatment and health services in ways that are responsive and accountable to users. Finally, the thesis identified those areas that require further research before proposing the lessons for the further development of this significant and potentially influential policy directive.

Abstract:
Community pharmacists are increasingly providing public health services in response to government policies. Published literature regarding the views of the general public related to pharmacy public health services, although important in ensuring uptake of these services, was limited. This study series aim to explore the general public's perspective on how to maximise the appropriate utilisation of community pharmacy services for improving public health. A large study comprising four sequential phases was designed and conducted in Sefton borough. Initially, to gather background information, focus group discussions (FGDs) and semi-structured interviews were undertaken with the general public and key stakeholders. The second phase involved the development and testing of a questionnaire extracted from the qualitative findings and a literature review. The questionnaire focused upon seven pharmacy public health services related to cardiovascular risks as well as views on factors influencing pharmacy use and advertising/promotion techniques. Geodemographic concepts, widely recognised in public health, were also included to identify potential benefits to pharmacy practice research. Next, a large scale survey was administered among the general public using eight survey modes, to additionally evaluate the range of methods available/for gathering public views. Finally, survey findings were evaluated by representatives of survey respondents using a FGD. Results indicated that, although stakeholders considered that community pharmacy can make an extensive contribution in supporting public health, pharmacy public health services are used at a relatively low level by the general public and awareness of services is also low. Survey respondents indicated a willingness to use services in the future. Important factors influencing pharmacy use include loyalty, location and convenient accessibility. Appropriate promotional campaigns are a key facilitator to help raise the public's awareness. The findings will help the profession to increase uptake of pharmacy public health services. The variety of survey modes used proved beneficial in obtaining diverse population demographics, with street survey being the optimal technique, however, the potential for social desirability bias must be considered with this and other interviewer-assisted approaches. MOSAIC™ as a geodemographic tool is potentially useful in helping to target services for specific groups and is recommended for use in further research.

Baker, Stephanie. "Staff and service user experiences of forensic mental health services." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2017. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/90135/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis consists of three chapters. Chapter one is a systematic review of the qualitative literature examining the experiences of clinicians working in mental health services with forensic service users (FSU). Following systematic searches and a process of quality assessment, a total of 14 articles were included and their findings were systematically compared. Staff members experienced both positive and negative emotional responses to their work, there are conflicting aspects to their role and additional challenges within the organisational context. Implications for clinical practice and further research are discussed. Chapter two uses Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to consider the experiences of FSUs diagnosed with Personality Disorder (PD) in Forensic Services and the meaning given to recovery within their accounts. The findings discuss the disempowered position of FSU participants and suggest that feeling safe within relationships in their environment is important for those with this diagnosis. There was evidence in their accounts of attempts to establish new identities but there also appeared to be multiple barriers to this. Chapter three offers a reflective account of the researcher’s experience of carrying out this study. It demonstrates the reflexive strategies used that allowed the competing subjective roles alongside that of ‘researcher’, to be examined and their influence on the research process explored.

Abstract:
Local health departments (LHD) serve a critical role in leveraging internal and community assets to improve health and equity in their communities; however, geography is an important factor when understanding LHD capacity and perspective. LHDs serve a critical role in leveraging internal and community assets to improve health and equity in their communities; however, geography is an important factor when understanding LHD capacity and perspective. Data were obtained from the NACCHO 2013 National Profile of Local Health Departments Study. LHDs were coded as “urban”, “micropolitan”, or “rural” based on Rural/Urban Commuting Area codes. Results demonstrate that rural LHDs differed from their urban counterparts. Specifically, rural LHDs relied more heavily on state and federal resources and have less access to local resources making them more sensitive to budget cuts. Rural LHDs also rely more heavily on clinical services as a revenue source. Larger rural LHDs provide more clinical services while urban health departments work more closely with community partners to provide important safety net services. Small rural LHDs have less partners and are unable to provide as many direct services due to their lack of human and financial resources. LHDs residing in urban communities were 16.6 times (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.3-52.3) and micropolitan LHDs were 3.4 times (95% CI, 1.1-11.3) more likely to seek PHAB accreditation than rural LHDs.

Werneck, Heitor. "Income-Related Inequalities in Utilization of Health Services among Private Health Insurance Beneficiaries in Brazil." Thesis, The George Washington University, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10145789.

Full text
Abstract:

Background: Throughout the twentieth century, Brazil developed a Social Health Insurance, providing coverage to formal workers and their dependents. In 1988, the country implemented a health reform adopting a National Health Service model, based on three core principles, universal coverage, open-ended benefit package and striving for health equity. During this transition, formal workers recomposed their privileged access to healthcare through private health insurance, resulting in a two-tier system represented by those with dual coverage—public and private—and those who must rely exclusively on the public insurance. Private health insurance coverage has a positive correlation with income, however, between 1998 and 2008 private coverage expanded vigorously among the poor, while remained stable among the rich. The health equity literature in Brazil consistently reports the presence of relevant inequalities in utilization of health services favoring privately insured individuals. A gap in this literature, however, is to determine whether inequalities in utilization of health services remain among insured individuals, i.e., does private insurance improve access regardless of individuals’ income?

Methods: The study relies on Andersen’s behavioral model as a theoretical framework to analyze data from two rounds (1998 & 2008) of a national household survey, assessing levels of utilization of fourteen dependent variables across income quintiles and calculating concentration indexes as summary measures of inequality. Dependent variable distributions across income are standardized by need using the indirect method. Concentration curves compare the evolution of inequality during that time. Curve dominance is formally tested between survey years. Decomposition analysis identifies the most relevant contributors to inequality. Physician services are analyzed as the probability of having a physician visit and the number of physician visits. Hospital services are analyzed as the number of hospital admissions, the probability of having a hospitalization, and the number of hospital days during the last hospitalization. The latter two variables are broken down according to their financing source, either public (SUS) or private insurance.

Results: Physician services present very low inequalities, although a statistically significant positive gradient persists in both survey rounds. Poor PHI beneficiaries have an advantage compared to national levels. SUS financed hospitalizations are a rare phenomenon among privately insured individual but strongly concentrated on the poor. Poor PHI beneficiaries utilize private hospital at lower levels than the rich. Compared at a national level, they are at a disadvantage. In 1998, this was not the case, suggesting that insurers may be developing mechanisms to deter hospital utilization among the poor. Premium value and income are the most relevant contributors to inequality in physician and hospital services.

Conclusions: The Brazilian government (ANS) needs to monitor utilization levels across income and develop policies to increase accountability of PHI products particularly preventing insurers from purposefully pushing their beneficiaries to use SUS hospitals. Greater availability on insurance policies segmented as ambulatory care only and inpatient services only would increase the range of options for consumers that could sort more adequate coverage according to their capacity to pay and healthcare needs.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Improving maternal health services is one of the main objectives in reducing maternal mortality. The national health insurance system is one of the efforts to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) which aims to ensure that people can access health services without financial difficulties as stated in the third point of SDGs 2030. This system ensures that women are able to access quality maternal health services. This study aimed to review the effectiveness of national health insurance implementation on maternal health service in developing countries, systematically. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review conducted by searching for articles through three databases, namely Cinahl, Medline, and JSTOR. The search was carried out using the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Study Design (PICO-S method). In the identification stage, it was found 251 articles and 8 articles were selected to meet the criteria for this study. Results: The national health insurance system was an effort to ensure that women of reproductive age were able to access quality maternal health services. However, there were still gaps in the utilization of health services which are influenced by factors of education, economic status, and geographic area. Conclusion: The implementation of the national health insurance system has an impact on increasing the utilization of maternal health services, especially in developing countries.

Full text
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.

The existing 2018 OVC Referral Directory for Lagos State upon its review has the following identified gaps due to the current realities and trend in OVC programming which include; 1) Inconsistent service provision to the beneficiaries due to inactive status of many of the organizations in the directory and emergence of new ones not included. 2) The paradigm shift in OVC program to the case management model and lack of Standard Operating Procedures to guide its usage. 3) No stakeholders input in the development of the old directory. This necessitated the development of the of the new one with current OVC program realities to aid close relationship between service providers at all levels with beneficiaries receiving the best possible care closest to home. Objective: The new OVC case management model guided the development of the new directory to ensure coordination/standardization in the provision of referral services, continuity of care/support across the different levels of care required by OVC and their households towards access to comprehensive health services. Method: Mapping of service providers, stakeholders services/resource analyzed, referral services aligned through a meeting, documented in a service referral template and published. Results: All actors recognize that to reduce child vulnerability, improve access to coordinated Health & social services for OVC, a service referral directory is necessary to promote sustainability of health services. Old and inactive actors 622(58%), new active actors 450(42%). Conclusion: The document ensured that all stakeholders providing services that are relevant/active to the OVC intervention were captured in the new 2021 OVC service referral directory.

Abstract:
This paper presents an overview of how health outcomes vary across cities in Latin America and discusses some of the known drivers of this variation. There are large disparities in outcomes across cities and across neighborhoods of the same city. Because health is closely related to the socioeconomic conditions of individuals, part of the spatial variation reflects residential segregation by income. Local characteristics also have a direct effect on health outcomes, shaping individuals' access to health services and the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles. In addition, urban environments affect health through natural atmospheric conditions, through local infrastructure in particular water, sanitation, and urban transit and through the presence of urban externalities such as traffic congestion, pollution, crime, and the spread of transmissible diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic illustrates many of these patterns, since the impact of the disease has differed sharply across cities, and much of this variation can be explained by observable local characteristics particularly population, connectivity with other cities and countries, income levels, and residential overcrowding.
