No. of bitstreams: 1 Massuda_Adriano_D.pdf: 9511997 bytes, checksum: fa15df610be3df36d06f7e6c1aaeea1d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014 / Resumo: A elaboração da presente dissertação ocorreu acompanhando o trabalho de formulação e implementação de mudanças no âmbito da secretaria de saúde de Curitiba, durante o ano de 2013. O trabalho fundamentam-se na produção teórica desenvolvida por Campos: o Método Paidéia e o modo de pensar e agir baseado na práxis, combinada a referenciais da área do Planejamento e Gestão em Saúde, da Análise Institucional e da Organização e Gestão de Sistemas, Redes e Práticas em Saúde. É feita análise histórica da organização da saúde no Município e dos referenciais utilizados para organização do modelo de atenção e estruturação da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde. O cenário atual também é descrito, destacando a situação de saúde, estrutura física, recursos existentes e dados de produção da rede municipal. Em seguida, são apresentadas as bases para construção das mudanças no SUS Curitiba, a formação de uma nova equipe dirigente, a elaboração do planejamento estratégico, a implantação do Apoio à gestão num desenho macrorregional e a reorganização administrativa; bem como o desenho de novo Modelo-Conceitual e a utilização de Conceitos-Operativos. Por fim, são apresentadas estratégias utilizadas para construção de mudanças na Atenção Primária em Saúde, Urgência e Emergência, Atenção Especializada, Saúde Mental, Controle Avaliação e Auditoria e Vigilância em Saúde. O produto do trabalho pode servir para análise do momento vivido na política de saúde do país: limites e reformulações necessárias. O sistema de saúde ganhou diversos pontos de atuação e grande complexidade, o que demanda estratégias de gestão, que fortaleçam a participação de usuários e trabalhadores e ao mesmo tempo torne possível a unidade da rede, a garantia da integralidade e do acesso. Neste sentido, a experiência de Curitiba poderá ser emblemática na medida em que puder articular ações regulatórias, gestão participativa e apoio institucional. Além disso, a potência de uma experiência deve ser medida pela expressão dos quadros que ela permite que surjam. Neste cenário nacional que aponta para a grande fragilização da representatividade dos movimentos sociais, uma das maiores contribuições do que vivemos em Curitiba pode ser ajudar a nos reinventarmos como agentes da reforma / Abstract: The preparation of this dissertation occurred following the work of formulation and implementation changes under the health department of Curitiba, during the year 2013.

Quality of guideline-concordant care and treatment for depression in the Veterans Health Administration and its impact on glycemic control

Jones, Laura Elizabeth 01 January 2006 (has links)
Depression is common and disproportionately affects those with chronic medical comorbidity, such as diabetes mellitus (DM). Only a limited amount of information is available concerning the quality of guideline-concordant treatment of depression and its influence on glycemic control among those with DM. This is the first study to address these issues in a veteran population with DM. This is a retrospective cohort study (1997-2005) of veterans with and without DM from the Roudebush Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Indianapolis. Veterans with and without DM and a new episode of depression were identified. Administrative, clinical, and pharmacy data were linked to assess initiation of treatment, follow-up care, antidepressant dosage and duration, and change in antidepressant agent based on the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) clinical practice guidelines for depression. HbA1c levels were assessed following initiation of antidepressant therapy. Treatment of depression was not consistent with guideline recommendations. Only 60% of subjects received treatment within 30-days of the depression diagnosis. Veterans with DM were more likely to have received treatment within the first two weeks than veterans without DM. Few subjects received appropriate follow-up care for depression (<40%) or an adequate duration of antidepressant therapy (<9%), although most (88%) received a dosage consistent with guideline recommendations when treatment was provided. Most subjects (>75%) were treated with a serotonigenic agent and only 23% experienced a change in therapy during the treatment period, almost 84% of which received an adequate trial of therapy prior to the change or augmentation in agent. Presence of DM was associated with significantly increased odds for receipt of guideline-concordant care for depression in most multivariate analyses. Receipt of guideline-concordant care for depression was not a significant predictor of glycemic control but was associated with a clinically meaningful reduction of 0.5% in HbA1c levels. This research demonstrates that under-treatment of depression is common and may influence at least one medical outcome. Findings also support that the relationship between depression and DM is complex and that further research is necessary to help align current practice with evidence-based practices in the VHA.

Factors Relating to Underrepresentation of Black American Women in Health Care Administration

Brown, Alquietta Lavayle 01 January 2015 (has links)
There is a low representation of Black American women (BAW) in health care senior leadership. With the high level of health problems found among the Black community, diversifying the executive leadership with BAW may be instrumental in increasing provider trust and reducing discriminatory action. Using critical race theory as the conceptual framework, this study examined the experiences, perceptions, and influential or deterrent factors inhibiting advancement of BAW in the health care field. Inquiry centered on factors related to lack of advancement, experiences at different stages of career progression, and strategies impacting career advancement. A qualitative research design using a transcendental phenomenological approach was the chosen method. Seven BAW who met the criteria for inclusion were selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected from semi-structured, audio-recorded, interviews using a newly created protocol. Data analysis included open coding; line-by-line data review; and the use of NVivo to search for frequencies of themes, coding, and text queries. Emergent themes were identified that provided comprehensive descriptions of the participants' experiences. According to study findings, perceived and experienced racial issues were apparent in hiring and work relations. Disparate practices were evident through a lack of inclusion in succession planning, being overlooked despite qualifications, and stereotyping. These findings may stimulate social change by helping those BAW aspiring for senior healthcare leadership to be more successful and by improving health outcomes for BAW through enhanced trust.

Is there an Association between Non-VA Medical Care Coordination and Utilization of Care?

Robisnon, Brenda Joyce 01 January 2016 (has links)
The Non-Veteran Administration Care (NVC) is a program in which the Veterans Health Administration purchases health care when it cannot provide the health services needed for eligible Veterans. The rising cost of this program led to audits by the Office of the Inspector General and other entities. The scholarly problem for this DNP Project was the lack of oversight, accountability, and management, found throughout the audits of NVC, as well as a lack of evaluation of NVC. The purpose of this project was to ascertain if there was a relationship between the Non-VA Care Coordination program (NVCC) and utilization of care. The NVCC was implemented to eliminate the deficiencies cited by audits. Sleep study and chiropractic consults for FY 2013 (pre-NVCC) and FY 2014 (post-NVCC) were examined. Sleep apnea service was available at the local Veteran Administration Medical Center and chiropractic service was not. Utilization of care was determined by emergency room (ER) visits and admissions related to the consult. A logic model was used to conceptualize the project and the longer-term implementation and evaluation of NVCC, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze trends in the chiropractic data (sleep study consults were excluded from the analysis due to the minute number). There were a total of 859 chiropractic consults and 2,184 approved visits analyzed. The results revealed that Veterans who utilized the consults had no ER visits or admissions related to referrals for chiropractic consults. Completed chiropractic consults remained proportionality the same both years. NVCC had no association with the utilization of care. This scholarly project contributes to social change by empowering consumers and providing transparency in the government through audits that facilitate quality improvement and evaluation of the NVCC program.

Language policy, public health and awareness campaigns : a study of some health institutions in Pretoria

Mokoena, Douglas Sipho. January 2014 (has links)
M. Tech. Language practice / At the centre of the messages and information disseminated to the public, there is language. This study investigated the role played by language when health awareness campaigns are planned by the Department of Health (DoH) in South Africa. The background and rationale of the project is discussed, with special reference to the language speakers in Pretoria, since the study was undertaken in this area. Pretoria is a city occupied by residents that are representative of all South African language groups; namely, English, Afrikaans, Sotho, Nguni, Venda, and Tsonga. This coming together of all languages in one small area of the country has indirectly led to the evolution of a language that has never stopped to grow over the years. This language that has evolved in Pretoria is unofficially called Sepitori (Pretoria Sotho); it has become a language of pride, and the communities in and around Pretoria see it as a compromise between Sepedi and Setswana. Since Sotho is widely spoken in Pretoria, the communities have become so attached to this language that anyone who speaks English around them is seen as snobbish, or an elite who normally doesn't get a warm welcome by the average Pretoria township resident, and they are often labeled 'coconuts'. In the health centres of the city and surrounding townships, health information is conveyed mostly in the English language. Through observation, one may say that important information might be ignored by the people visiting public clinics and hospitals, or they might have little or no interest in reading it. This might be because of various reasons which the study will try to find out, as guided by the language policy of South Africa in the DoH. The concern in this study is the language used for the displayed information. The study attempts to assess whether consideration is given to the language(s) of the locals when health awareness campaigns are prepared.

Towards an understanding of post-adoption usage behaviours in the context of m-health pregnancy support applications

Chakabuda, Tendai Carol January 2017 (has links)
Research report submitted to the School of Economic and Business Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Commerce (Information Systems) by coursework and research, 2 November 2017 / Mobile health applications are fast becoming an influential source of information for pregnant women. Studies have shown that pregnant women download 3 such apps on average on their cellphones. These mobile technologies have been shown to help women monitor their progress during their pregnancy and personalise healthcare to suit their needs. To date, llimited research has been directed towards understanding usage behaviours with these apps. Various authors have argued that there is a need to expand the scope of research from simple usage behaviour to deeper levels as technology becomes more sophisticated and easily available. M-health technologies are increasingly becoming more varied and sophisticated and as such this study aims to explore post-adoption usage specifically of mobile health pregnancy applications in the South African context. This study specifically looked at post adoption usage behaviours and used Hsieh and Zmud’s (2006) framework as a basis of understanding these behaviours. The potential influences on these behaviours were sourced from various studies done on pregnant women usage of ICT in general. These influences were then investigated to see whether they were relevant in the context of m-health pregnancy support applications. The primary method of data collection was open ended semi structured interviews with twelve pregnant women. Data analysis was done using the iterative model for qualitative data analysis proposed by Miles and Huberman (1994). The findings revealed that pregnant women displayed post adoption usage behaviours of routine use and IS continuance. With regards to the infusion stage, the study found that pregnant women engaged in the first set of post adoption usage behaviours i.e. extended usage and deep usage. They did not engage in second stage behaviours namely emergent use, feature extension or intention to explore behaviours. The influences identified in the literature were found to be relevant in the context of m-health applications and additional influences such as cost of seeing gynaecologist, number of features on the app and social structures were found to have an influence on usage of the apps. This study provides unique insights into the views of pregnant women’s experiences with m-health apps. Specifically, by using interpretive research it uncovers the subjective meanings around post adoption usage behaviours, understanding how pregnant women engage in these behaviours and subsequently how these behaviours are sustained during their pregnancy. The study recognises m-health pregnancy support apps as important tools in the pregnancy journey. It highlights how pregnant women value these apps and view them as huge information sources, reassurance and comfort during their pregnancy. It is argued that medical professionals cannot distance themselves away from these apps and need to work in conjunction with them to provide robust maternity care to their patients. 5 Theoretically, this study adds to our understanding of post adoption usage behaviours specifically in the context of m-health pregnancy apps. Limited studies have been done in this field specifically in the South African context and the study provides a foundation for further research. Further research can be done to understand how these apps are changing the relationship between pregnant women and medical professionals and furthermore, whether the information received from these apps is reliable and credible. / GR2018

A integralidade das ações em saúde e a intersetorialidade municipal / Integrality in health care and the intersectoriality

Pauli, Liane Teresinha Schuh 13 April 2007 (has links)
Movimentos mundiais vêm, através do tempo ampliando os conceitos do processo saúde/doença acrescentando o contexto biopsicosocial e econômico, aumentando as exigências de atuação no setor de saúde. As novas exigências, legalmente compostas, levam à necessidade de novos contornos na administração, no planejamento e na política municipal. Sob a justificativa de avançar no cumprimento das diretrizes constitucionais, na consolidação do processo de descentralização exigido pelo Sistema Único de Saúde, e de direcionar esforços intersetoriais que possam garantir a integralidade das ações em saúde, está pesquisa objetiva, num primeiro momento, analisar a percepção relativa ao conceito de saúde/doença nos vários níveis do governo municipal e o relacionamento do setor de trabalho na gestão pública, com a área de saúde, verificando a viabilidade do trabalho intersetorial no contexto político-organizacional, e num segundo momento, esclarecidos sobre as conclusões e objetivos da pesquisa 1, analisar a percepção sobre a importância do trabalho intersetorial como estratégia para a promoção da integralidade das ações em saúde; após o esclarecimento sobre as conclusões e objetivos da pesquisa 1. O método qualitativo de análise utilizou, nas duas etapas, entrevista individual e aplicação de questionário com questões abertas para a pesquisa 1 e para a pesquisa 2, gravadas no local de trabalho, utilizando a técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo, para construção da caracterização e análise dos depoimentos verbais, pelas idéias centrais e suas correspondentes expressões chaves. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram 100 por cento dos elementos envolvidos na gestão municipal, mais dois assessores diretos, localizados em um município da 13ª Região Sanitária do Rio Grande do Sul. Observou-se no grupo pesquisado a cencepção do conceito de saúde ampliado e positivo; o reconhecimento da responsabilidade dos vários setores sobre o processo saúde/doença da população e a afirmação da possibilidade de trabalho intersetorial; e conclui-se que com mudanças político-organizacionais, capacitação de recursos humanos, e planejamento, pode-se alcançar melhoria na ações de promoção da integralidade das ações em saúde / World movements have been, through time, widening the concept of the health-disease process, adding to it the idea of the biopsychosocial and economic context, and increasing the demands for action in the health area. To answer these new demands which have legal support, there is also the need for new trends in administration, planning and local politics. Implementation of the principles of the Constitution, consolidation of the process of descentralization in the Brazilian Health System (SUS) and development of joint action by different sectors are the fundamentals of the present research, whose objective is, first, to study the perception relative to the health-disease process in the different levels of the local government and also the relationship of the labour sector with the health sector, in order to disclose the possibility of political and organizational cooperation between these two sectors; and second, to analyze the perception of the relevance of cooperation among sectors as a strategy for promoting integrality of health actions. The Qualitative Method of Analysis consisted, in these two phases, of individual interviews and applcation of a survey for research 1 and research 2 with open questions, recorded at the work place. A transcription was then made, utilizing the Collective Subject Discourse tehnique, which allows characterization and analysis of oral testimonies, based on central ideas and key-expression. 100 per cent of the members of the health administrative staff in a county of the 13rd Health Region of Rio Grande do Sul, plus two direct consultants, were interviwed. We noticed that they have a non-limited and positive concept of health; that they recognize the responsibility of several sectors in the health-disease process in the population and that they also recognize the possibility of joint cooperation among sectors. Based on these fidings we can assure that, with political and administrative changes, capacitation of human resources and planning it is possible to promote and to improve actions to increase integrality in health care.
