Download or read book Improving Health in the Community written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-05-21 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do communities protect and improve the health of their populations? Health care is part of the answer but so are environmental protections, social and educational services, adequate nutrition, and a host of other activities. With concern over funding constraints, making sure such activities are efficient and effective is becoming a high priority. Improving Health in the Community explains how population-based performance monitoring programs can help communities point their efforts in the right direction. Within a broad definition of community health, the committee addresses factors surrounding the implementation of performance monitoring and explores the "why" and "how to" of establishing mechanisms to monitor the performance of those who can influence community health. The book offers a policy framework, applies a multidimensional model of the determinants of health, and provides sets of prototype performance indicators for specific health issues. Improving Health in the Community presents an attainable vision of a process that can achieve community-wide health benefits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the authors explore the state of the art on efficiency measurement in health systems and international experts offer insights into the pitfalls and potential associated with various measurement techniques. The authors show that: - The core idea of efficiency is easy to understand in principle - maximizing valued outputs relative to inputs, but is often difficult to make operational in real-life situations - There have been numerous advances in data collection and availability, as well as innovative methodological approaches that give valuable insights into how efficiently health care is delivered - Our simple analytical framework can facilitate the development and interpretation of efficiency indicators.
Download or read book Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.

Download or read book Hospitals in a Changing Europe written by Martin McKee and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * What roles do hospitals play in the health care system and how are these roles changing? * If hospitals are to optimize health gains and respond to public expectations, how should they be configured, managed, and sustained? * What lessons emerge from experiences of changing hospital systems across Europe? Hospitals of the future will confront difficult challenges: new patterns of disease, rapidly evolving medical technologies, ageing populations, and continuing budget constraints. This book explores the competing pressures facing policymakers across Europe as they struggle to respond to these complex challenges. It argues that hospitals, as part of a larger health system, should focus on enhancing health outcomes while also responding to public expectations. Adopting a cross-national, cross-disciplinary perspective, the study assesses recent evidence on the factors driving hospital reform and the strategies used to improve organizational performance. It reviews the evidence from eastern as well as western Europe and combines academic research with real-world policy experience. It looks at the role of hospitals in enhancing health rather than simply processing patients. The book concludes that hospitals cannot be managed in isolation from society and the wider health system, and that policymakers have a responsibility to define the broader health care goals that hospitals should strive to meet. Hospitals in a Changing Europe synthesizes current evidence in a readable and accessible form for all practitioners, policy-makers, academics and graduate level students concerned with health reform.

Download or read book Measuring the Relationship Between Contextual Factors Nurse Staffing Patterns and Hospital Performance written by Dong Yeong Shin and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to inquire into the relationships among contextual factors (i.e., environmental and organizational factors), nurse staffing patterns, and hospital performance in terms of quality of care, cost, and profitability. The study is divided into three papers. Paper one reviews the literature on the relationship between contextual factors, nurse staffing patterns, and hospital performance. Paper two is an empirical study measuring the relationship between contextual factors and nurse staffing patterns. Paper three is also an empirical study; it measures the relationship between nurse staffing patterns and hospital performance in terms of quality of care, cost, and profitability. The literature review targeted hospital studies that were published between 1984 and 2013. The study included only peer-reviewed, English written, quantitative research conducted in the U.S. and Canada. The empirical studies used data from a national sample of U.S. non-federal, general, acute-care hospitals between 2006 and 2010. The datasets for analysis in papers two and three were drawn selectively from databases of the Medicare Cost Report, the American Hospital Association Annual Survey Database, the Area Resource File, the Hospital Compare Data, the Case Mix Index File, the Local Area Unemployment Statistics, and the Magnet Hospital status data. Key findings indicated: a) ample empirical results on the positive relationship between registered nurse (RN) staffing and quality were found in the literature; b) the literature had insufficient empirical evidence concerning contextual factors that influence hospital nurse staffing patterns and the relationship between nurse staffing patterns and hospital financial performance; c) operating environments with higher per capita income, an urban location, more specialists, higher competition, and a membership in a multihospital system were associated with more RNs per 1,000 inpatient days in hospitals; d) an increase in RNs per 1,000 inpatient days was associated with a decrease in pneumonia readmission rate and an increase in operating costs and profitability; e) a decrease in pneumonia readmission rate was associated with an increase in profitability; and f) the positive relationship between RNs per 1,000 inpatient days and profitability was mediated by pneumonia readmission rate.
