ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This report provides a broad overview of the health industry, and the dental industry in particular, identifying trends and searching for possible solutions to problems posed by these trends. It attempts to offer perspectives of importance to all the stakeholders in health care - the patients, the providers of care and third party payers. The current focus of healthcare industry is not actually the health of the patient. Practitioners (the providers) focus too much on treatment, while insurance companies and governments (the payers) emphasise cost containment. As national health care costs spiral, it is ironic that the main reasons for the dramatic health improvements over the last few decades are improvements in socio-economic factors and changes in lifestyle, rather than better treatment. The willingness of insurers to cover new or improved services has acted as a continuing stimulus to cost-increasing advances in medical technology and in tum to spending growth. Managed care has evolved to attempt to improve resource allocation in health care. Thirdparty private-sector regulators have wrested power from government regulators. Their gain in power relative to private practitioners has shifted the power balance from the supply side to the demand side of health care. By leveraging their power in the use of information technology, the practitioner has been forced into a defensive, reactive stance. Managed care is being implemented by profit-driven third parties that benefit from the cost savings. As health providers are the ones who have to implement the cost-savings; it is proposed that they are the ones who should manage healthcare. The ideal would be a coordinated approach with funders and service providers working toward a common goal. Financial accountability is forcing dental practitioners to evaluate their mode of practice in a critical manner. Promoting health, by educating and evoking behaviour change will create a better world for current and future generations. There is a shift in focus from the health of the individual at all costs, to the health of the population. There should be a special emphasis on the dental health of children for whom prevention offers the most gain in outcome. Evidence-based care evolved from the search for the best care, in terms of quality and price, outcome and process, and attempts to reduce variability and subjectivity in clinical decisions, by using systematic reviews of quality evidence to increase objectivity. Emphasis on improved outcomes provides earlier, more valuable, long-term improvements for a patient, than the later, short-term benefit of a cure. Because most canes and gum disease is preventable, dental health professionals should accentuate health promotion and education of patients. The benefits would be to the advantage of all stakeholders in health. A focus on prevention for children could be the ideal form of dental private practice to instil oral wellness in children.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie verslag is 'n breë oorsig van die gesondsheidsindustrie, en van die tandheelkunde industrie in besonder om tendense te identifiseer en na moontlike oplossing te soek vir probleme wat hieruit mag spruit. Dit poog om perspektiewe aan te bied wat van belang is vir die betrokke rolspelers - die pasiënte, die diensverskaffers en die befondsers. Die huidige fokus van gesondheidsorg is nie eintlik die gesondheid van die pasiënt nie. Die die voorsieners van sorg fokus meestal op behandeling, terwyl versekeringsmaatskappye en die regering (die betalers) fokus op die besnoeing van koste. Terwyl nasionale gesondheidskostes styg, is dit ironies dat die belangrikste redes vir die dramaties verbetering in gesondheid oor die laaste paar dekades eerder verbeteringe in sosioekonomiese faktore en veranderinge in leefwyse is as beter behandeling. Die bereidwilligheid van versekeraars om nuwe en verbeterde dienste te dek, is die oorsaak van die aanhoudende stimulus vir mediese tegnologiese vooruitgang en koste stygings. Bestuurde sorg het ontwikkel om te probeer om bron toewysing in gesondheidsorg te verbeter. Derde party privaatsektor-reguleerders het die mag van regering-reguleerders ontruk. Hul invloed, relatief tot die van privaat praktisyns, het die mags-ewewig verskuif van die voorsienings- na die aanvraagkant van gesondheidsorg. Deur die gebruik van hulle voordeel op die gebied van inligtingstegnologie, het hulle die praktisyn in 'n defensiewe houding gedwing. Bestuurde Gesondheidsorg word beheer deur winsgedrewe derde partye wie baat vind by kostebesparings. Aangesien gesondheidsverskaffers die kostebesparings moet implementeer, word daar aanbeveel dat hulle gesondheidsorg moet bestuur. 'n Gesonde samewerkings ooreenkoms tussen befondsers en diensverskaffers is wenslik. Finansiële verantwoordelikheid dwing tandartse om hulle praktyke krities te evalueer. Daar is 'n fokus verskuiwing vanaf die gesondheid van die individu, ten alle koste, na die gesondheid van die bevolking. Besondere klem behoort geplaas te word op die mondgesondheid van kinders, vir wie voorkoming die meeste baat inhou. Bewys-gebaseerde Gesondheidsorg het ontwikkel uit die soektog na die beste sorg in terme van kwaliteit en koste, uitkoms en proses, en pogings om wisselvalligheid en subjektiwiteit in kliniese besluite te verminder. Klem op beter resultate gee vroeër, meer waardevolle langtermyn verbeteringe vir die pasiënt, as die later kort-termyn voordele van genesing. Omdat tandbederf en tandvleissiektes voorkombaar is, behoort tandheelkundiges die bevordering van mondgesondheid te beklemtoon. Voorkoming by kinders word gesuggereer as die ideale vorm van privaat praktyk om mondgesondheid te bevorder.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis researches World Class Manufacturing Techniques (WCMT) and their applicability in a Non-Production Environment such as an inbound call centre in the financial services sector. These WCMT involve a set of innovative techniques and principles, which are applied by foremost manufacturing companies. These techniques however, are not sacred and one always needs to refer back to the objectives of World Class Manufacturing, namely to (a) Eliminate waste, (b) Improve quality, (c) Shorten lead times, (d) Reduce costs, and (e) Improve morale and seek other improvements. The importance lies in attaining the objectives in the context of the necessary manufacturing tasks. Companies applying these techniques demonstrate significant productivity gains, production synergies, reduced rework and more reliable on-time delivery. In the highly competitive global market, these offer a competitive advantage for such companies. A critical and essential element of a company's strategic vision is a clearly defined and healthy competitive advantage. It is imperative that a company's vision is clearly aligned to its business objectives and goals. The WCMT is a tool that aligns the business vision and strategic objectives to realize its competitive advantage. By aligning the vision to its competitive advantage, it is crucial that the company challenge its existing production processes and the way in which it operates. Existing production processes need to be continuously reviewed and adjusted where necessary to sustain the competitive advantage. This paper is a practical example of how a non-production organisation can apply these WCMT to sustain its competitive advantage. The WCMT such as Theory of Constraints (TOC), Just in Time (JIT) and Total Quality Management (TQM) are discussed and applied in the inbound call centre of a medical aid administration company. In a relatively short time span, some remarkable sustainable productivity improvements were achieved. This would imply that these WCMT could be applied in traditional non-production environments.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsings werkstuk ondersoek Wêreld Klas Vervaardigings Tegnieke (WCMT) en die moontlike toepassing daarvan in 'n nie-vervaardigings omgewing, soos 'n inbeldienssentrum in die finansiële dienste sektor. Hierdie WCMT omsluit 'n groep innoverende tegnieke wat huidiglik aangewend en toegepas word in die meeste vervaardigings ondernemings. Hierdie tegnieke is nie beperk nie en verwys altyd terug na die doelstellings van WCMT naamlik (a) Vermindering van afval, (b) Verbetering van kwaliteit, (c) Verkorting van wag periodes, (d) Verlaging van kostes, en (e) Verbeterende personeel moraal en die voortdurende soeke na ander verbeteringe. Die belangrikheid van WCMT lê in die bereiking van hierdie bogenoemde doelwitte binne die konteks van die noodsaaklike vervaardigings metodes. Ondernemings wat hierdie tegnieke toepas vind groot produksiekapasiteit verbeteringe, produksie sinergie, 'n verlaging in die oordoen van foutiewe werk en ondervind ook grotendeels meer gereelde op-tyd aflewering. In die hoogs kompeterende globale mark bied die WCMT die broodnodige mededingende voordeel aan hierdie ondernemings. Die kritieke en belangrike bestanddeel van 'n onderneming se strategie en visie is die onderneming se vermoë om 'n deeglike en gesonde mededingende voordeel bo sy mededingers te hê. Dit is van kardinale belang dat die onderneming se visie behoorlik in lyn is met die onderneming se strategiese doelwitte. Hierdie WCMT is 'n instrument wat die onderneming kan aanwend ten einde sy visie en strategiese doelwitte, asook sy kompeterende voordeel, te bereik. Dit is krities belangrik dat 'n onderneming se visie en sy kompeterende doelwitte gesinkroniseer en gelykgestel is en verder dat die onderneming ook sy huidige produksie prosesse herevalueer, asook die manier waarop die onderneming opereer. Huidige produksie prosesse moet voortdurend geherevalueer en aangepas word waar nodig, ten einde die onderneming se voortdurende kompeterende voordeel te behou. Hierdie navorsings stuk is 'n voorbeeld van die praktiese toepassing van WGMT en hoe hierdie tegnieke 'n onderneming behulpsaam kan wees ten einde sy kompeterende voordeel te behou. Die WGMT soos die Teorie van Beperkings (TOC), Net Betyds (JIT) en Totale Kwaliteit Beheer (TQM) word deeglik ondersoek en bespreek. Die navorser ondersoek voorts die moontlikheid om hierdie tegnieke toe te pas in 'n in beldienssentrum by 'n administrateur van mediese fondse. In 'n relatiewe kort periode het die navorser noemenswaardige en voortdurende produksie verbetering teweeg gebring deur die toepassing van WGMT. Die navorser het afgelei dat hierdie WGMT nie net beperk is tot die vervaardigings sektor nie, maar dat dit ook in die nie-vervaardigings sektor doeltreffend aangewend kan word.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This evaluation serves the purpose of illuminating concepts and ideas behind the moral impact of business values in healthcare and to establish a framework for the analysis of moral dilemmas found in the sphere ofbio-medical ethics. The historic developments of business in healthcare are examined, looking at how and why business became an integral part of the health care system. The concept of "managed healthcare" is introduced and used as the context in which the different institutional role-players are brought together. Managed healthcare is defined by a discussion of the different organisational structures through which it manifests itself. The policies, procedures and regulations that managed healthcare organisations implement and control to fulfil their general function are also examined. Some normative aspects pertaining to the concept of managed health care are explored, including the institutional values of business and that of medicine. A brief discussion of the economic system in which the business agents or role players function are included in the evaluation of the institutional values of business. Further arguments are made to show how the healthcare system with all its role players displays the characteristics of a complex system. Discussions on the fundamental values of medicine concentrate on the basic ideas behind virtues and principles of medical ethics. It is argued that the development of these virtues and principles are important foundations on which the medical profession stands. The moral impact of combining these institutional values within the context of managed healthcare relationships is examined and some important moral dilemmas or conflicts are identified. It is further argued that the fundamental relationships between all the role players in the health care system have changed as all the agents function within a complex system, giving rise to new organisational structures and relationships, with new conceptual roles, ideals, values and practices.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie evaluasie het dit ten doelom sekere konsepte en idees agter die morele impak van besigheidswaardes in gesondheidsorg te illumineer en om 'n raamwerk daar te stel vir die verdere analise van morele dilemmas in die sfeer van bio-mediese etiek. Die historiese ontwikkeling van besigheid in gesondheidsorg word verken deur die redes aan te voer waarom besigheid deel van die gesondheidsorgsisteem geword het. Die konsep "bestuurde gesondheidsorg" word gebruik as die konteks waarin die verskillende institusionele rolspelers bymekaar gebring word. Bestuurde gesondheidsorg word gedefinieer deur die verskillende organisatoriese strukture waardeur dit manifesteer. Die prosedures, regulasies en bereid wat bestuurde gesondheidsorgorganisasies implementeer om hul funksies te vervul word ook verken. Normatiewe aspekte van bestuurde gesondheidsorg word verken, waarby ingesluit word die institusionele waardes van besigheid sowel as dié van medisyne. 'n Kort beskrywing van die ekonomiese sisteem waarin die besigheidsagente, of rolspelers funksioneer word ingesluit by die evaluasie van die institusionele waardes van besigheid. Verdere argumente word gevoer om te wys daarop hoe die gesondheidsorgsisteem met al sy rolspelers die karakter toon van 'n komplekse sisteem. Die basiese idees agter deugsaamheid en morele beginsels van bio-mediese etiek word bespreek om die fundamentele waardes van medisyne te beskryf. Daar word geargumenteer dat die ontwikkeling van hierdie waardes 'n belangrike fondament is waarop die mediese professie staan. Die morele impak van die kombinasie tussen die institusionele waardes van besigheid en medisyne binne die konteks van bestuurde gesondheidsorg word geevalueer en belanrike morele dilemmas en konflikte word geidentifiseer. Verder word geargumenteer dat die fundamenrele verhouding tussen al die rol spelers in die gesondheidsisteem verander het danksy die funksionering van die agente binne hierdie komplekse sisteem. Dit lei op sy beurt na veranderinge in organisatoriese strukture en verhoudinge met nuwe konsepsuele rolle, idiale, waardes en praktyke.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the perceptions of medical practitioners towards managed health care and its implications for patient care. The study population was the medical practitioners in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. A questionnaire was distributed to 224 medical practitioners in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. The total number of the respondents was 81 with 53% being general practitioners and 47% being specialists. The findings of the study indicated that the majority of respondents perceived managed healthcare to have a negative impact on doctor-patient relationship, the ability to carry out their ethical obligations towards the patients, and that the limitations implemented by managed health care have a negative impact on the quality of care. The respondents also perceived managed healthcare to be consistent in reducing unnecessary procedures and reducing the expenditure. Recommendations made to remedy the situation include introducing a topic of managed health care as part of undergraduate studies to empower practitioners before they start a private practice. It would be advisable to include medical practitioners to help reform the strategies that will enable medical practitioners to carry out their ethical obligations towards the patients and to deliver quality care to the patients. The study concluded that medical practitioners hold negative perceptions towards managed health care and perceive managed health care to impact the quality of care negatively.

Health care is recognised as a basic human right. The current position of private health care in South Africa is of great concern. Not only is health care almost unaffordable but the future quality of health care also causes great concern. With this in mind it is obvious that alternatives to conventional medical aids and health insurance are necessary to guarantee the continued availability of quality medical care to the South African public. Most people would agree that our private sector health care system is characterised by a depressing history of inadequate planning, control and management. It is for this reason that amendments to the Medical Schemes Act were considered necessary. Certain of these amendments will extend the role played by medical schemes in the management of health care resources. This will result in the traditional boundaries and relationships between the public, health professionals and health care facilities, and the financiers in our private health care system being altered. A new philosophy will evolve based on open and participative practices, as well as increased coordination, integration and cooperation (Veliotes et al, 1993: 12). Internationally, the health care objectives of most countries are to provide access to highquality care for all the people, and to provide this care efficiently and effectively. In the last decade the task of achieving these potentially conflicting objectives has become more difficult. At present, private health care is funded by medical schemes, health insurance companies, employers and individuals themselves. Neither medical aids nor health insurance companies are able to contain the rise in health care cost, which has led to the emergence of a new method of finding, namely Managed Health Care (MHC). Health care cost has accelerated at a rate far above the consumer price index(CPI). Rising health care costs in the private sector have been blamed on structural inefficiencies in the medical aid system. While patients have little incentive to minimise care expenditure, providers have an incentive to overuse the system.
