Dallas Area Health Care Use: Study of Insured, Uninsured, and Medicaid Enrolled Children

Roy, Lonnie C. 08 1900 (has links)
This research investigated physician and emergency room use among representative samples of children in the Dallas metropolitan area (N = 1606) and among patients who used Children's Medical Center of Dallas' First Care services (N = 612). Through telephone interviewing, caregivers to children under fifteen years of age were asked about an array of health service use behaviors, social-psychological issues related to acquiring health care for their children, and demographic characteristics as outlined by the Andersen & Newman model of health care service use. Children's use of physician services is best predicted by whether or not they have medical insurance, their level of income, and whether or not they have medical homes. Although having commercial managed care and fee-for-service Medicaid insurance consistently predicted increased physician use, neither independently reduced reliance on emergency rooms for non-emergent care. Managed care insurance and Medicaid did, however, significantly improve the odds that children would have medical homes, which significantly decreased emergency room use for non-emergent care. Further, increasing physician use and reducing reliance on hospital emergency rooms for non-emergent care will require ensuring that children have medical homeseither private physicians or community health centersat which they can readily and consistently receive sick and well care. Although some ethnic differences were observed, few of the broad array of factors in the Behavioral Model significantly predicted either physician or emergency room use. Moreover, educational levels and health beliefs rarely, and if significant negligibly, influenced physician and emergency room use. Health policy for children would best be served by focusing on programs that facilitate parent's ability to secure health insurance for their children and allocating children to medical homes where they can readily and consistently access sick and well care.

O direito à internação psiquiátrica no Sistema Único de Saúde e no Sistema de Saúde Suplementar: as representações sociais no Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo / The right to psychiatric admission in the Public Health System and in the Insurance Health System: the Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo\' social representations

Salvatori, Rachel Torres 13 December 2013 (has links)
Segundo o Ministério da Saúde, no Brasil, 3% da população sofrem com transtornos mentais severos e persistentes e 6% apresentam transtornos psiquiátricos em virtude do uso de álcool e outras drogas. Só recentemente a assistência à saúde mental, notadamente no que concerne às internações psiquiátricas por via judicial, começa a suscitar questionamentos entre operadores do direito e profissionais da assistência à saúde, embora, desde o advento da Lei n. 10.216/2001, há mais de 10 anos, tenham-se estabelecido as diretrizes do novo modelo de saúde mental a ser implementado no País. Nesse sentido, é relevante saber os entendimentos que o Poder Judiciário tem sobre as questões relativas às internações psiquiátricas. A presente pesquisa teve o objetivo geral de conhecer as representações sociais do Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo - TJSP, sobre o direito à internação psiquiátrica, e os objetivos específicos de: 1) Caracterizar as demandas relacionadas à internação psiquiátrica submetidas ao TJSP; 2) Identificar como as demandas relacionadas à internação psiquiátrica são sustentadas pela parte apelante em juízo; 3) Identificar como as demandas relacionadas à internação psiquiátrica são defendidas pela parte apelada em juízo; 4) Identificar as representações sociais presentes nos posicionamentos de 2a Instância do TJSP na jurisprudência acumulada sobre as demandas relativas à internação psiquiátrica; 5) Comparar os resultados das decisões de 2a Instância com os de 1a Instância. Foi utilizada uma abordagem com métodos mistos de coleta e análise de dados, empregando-se a estatística descritiva para a mensuração das variáveis quantitativas e o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo, para as variáveis qualitativas. Aplicou-se a Teoria das Representações Sociais como referencial teórico de interpretação dos discursos coletados. No sítio eletrônico do TJSP, foram coletados os acórdãos de ações julgadas em 2a Instância, proferidos em razão de recursos de apelação, publicados no período de janeiro de 1998 a dezembro de 2012, referentes às internações psiquiátricas pleiteadas no Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS, e no Sistema de Saúde Suplementar. As variáveis quantitativas foram digitadas, processadas, tabuladas e categorizadas nos programas Excel e SPSS v.6, e as variáveis qualitativas, no programa Qualipro. No SUS, a internação reclamada em juízo foi a compulsória. Nesses processos, os juízes representaram a internação, majoritariamente, como uma medida de proteção da dignidade do portador de transtorno mental e, minoritariamente, como uma violência contra essa mesma dignidade. No Sistema de Saúde Suplementar, a representação judicial assumiu o enfoque consumerista, consubstanciado na abusividade da cláusula limitativa da internação psiquiátrica e no direito superior à vida. O direito à saúde, vislumbrado nas decisões judiciais, resumiu-se ao direito de acesso aos serviços de saúde, ao direito à doença. A compreensão tanto do Poder Judiciário quanto dos apelados e apelantes nos dois sistemas investigados foi a do direito à saúde como o direito ao bem de saúde pleitado em juízo, o que coloca muitos desafios para os sistemas de saúde e para o Poder Judiciário frente à consolidação dos ideais da reforma psiquiátrica estatuída pela Lei n. 10.216/2001 / According to the Brazilian Health Ministry, 3% of the population suffer with severe and persistent mental disorders and 6% have psychiatric disorders due to the use of alcohol and other drugs. Recently, within mental health care, there was an increasing demand for psychiatric admissions through the justice system, raising concerns by lawyers and health professionals, although, Law n. 10.216/2001, more than10 years ago, has established the guidelines of the new model for mental health care to be implemented in Brazil. In this way, it is relevant to learn about the judges\' understandings regarding the demands concerning psychiatric admissions. The current research had the general goal to learn about the social representations of judges from the \"Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo - TJSP\" about the law regarding psychiatric admissions. This investigation specific goals were: 1) to characterize the psychiatric admission claims; 2) to identify how the psychiatric admission claims are supported by the appellant party in court; 3) to identify how the psychiatric admission claims are defended by the appealed in court; 4) to identify the social representations present in the accumulated jurisprudence of TJSP about psychiatric admission claims; 5) to compare the results of first and second instance decisions. The author used an approach to collect and analyze data based on mixed methods, utilizing descriptive statistics to measure quantitative variables and the Collective Subject Speech to analyze qualitative data. The Social Representations Theory was applied as theoretical framework to interpret the collected speeches. Data were collected through the electronic TJSP site, comprehending all the decisions published between January, 1998, and December, 2012, regarding psychiatric admissions claimed to the Public Health System - SUS, and Insurance Health System. The quantitative variables were typed, processed, and categorized using Excel and SPSS v.6 programs and the qualitative variables through a Qualipro program. Considering SUS, the admissions claimed on the court were compulsory and judges represented the psychiatric admissions, mostly, as a dignity protection measure of people with mental disorders and, at a lower degree, as a violence against this same dignity. With respect to the Insurance Health System, the judicial representation was evolved by the consumerist approach, supported by the abuse of a clause restricting the time for psychiatric admissions and its contradiction with the right to life. The right to health was mentioned in the decisions characterized by the right of access to health services and the right to be ill. The comprehension of the judges in both investigated systems related the right to health to the right to a good health claimed in court, imposing many challenges to health systems and the Judiciary Power in order to consolidate the principles of psychiatric reform brought by Law n. 10.216/2001

Inequities in access to health care by income and private insurance coverage : a longitudinal analysis

Ansari, Hina. January 2007 (has links)
In 1997, the UK's Labour government introduced several health policy changes, including plans for greater collaboration with private providers. Building on previous cross-sectional research, we explore longitudinal inequities in physician access as these policy changes were materializing. Using GEE models we examine the effect of income and private health insurance (PHI) coverage on access to physicians in the general UK population from 1997 to 2003. The study finds no income inequities in GP access. In contrast, those in the highest income quintile are more likely to access consultants overall (OR:1.10, CI: 1.01,1.19), particularly private consultants (OR:2.49, CI:1.80,3.44). Not surprisingly, PHI is a strong predictor of private consultant access (OR:8.72 CI: 7.04,10.82), but a weak predictor of overall consultant access (OR:1.09, CI:1.01, 1.17). None of these findings exhibited significant time trends across the years of study, thus indicating that the existing inequities remained stable in the UK, despite the aforementioned reforms.

Os determinantes da integração vertical na saúde suplementar segundo a teoria dos custos de transação

Ferreira, Denilson Queiroz Gomes January 2013 (has links)
A tese buscou verificar se os fatores considerados pelas Operadoras de Planos de Saúde quando tomam a decisão de se integrar verticalmente encontram respostas na Teoria dos Custos de Transação. Para tanto, reconstruiu a história dos planos de saúde no Brasil, enfocando o processo de regulamentação do mercado de saúde suplementar, que restringiu mecanismos utilizados para reduzir o comportamento oportunista de beneficiários e prestadores de serviços e que contribuiu para aumentar a complexidade e incerteza. Além disso, o maior ativo específico do setor, a relação médico-paciente, está em grande medida fora das Operadoras. Soma-se aos fatos a impossibilidade de se prever contratualmente todas as circunstâncias futuras e se tem o cenário ideal para a integração vertical em direção aos prestadores de serviços. As demonstrações financeiras das Operadoras entre 2007 e 2011 confirmam a crescente verticalização nas modalidades nas quais é permitida, com destaque para as Cooperativas Médicas. Entrevistas realizadas com gestores de cinco Operadoras, selecionadas dentre aquelas que mais incorreram em despesas assistenciais em rede própria no período 2007-2011, permitiram verificar a presença dos determinantes da integração vertical previstos na Teoria dos Custos de Transação. Constatou-se, ainda, que as referidas Operadoras estão internalizando atividades de prestação de serviços assistenciais e aquisição de insumos, além de desejarem internalizar a gestão da atenção médica dispensada a seus beneficiários, como forma de prover um serviço mais eficaz e sustentável economicamente. / The thesis verifies if the factors considered by the Health Insurance Companies (HICs) when they decide to integrate vertically are coherent with the Transaction Cost Theory. In order to do so, the history of the health plans in Brazil was reviewed, with a focus on the process of regulation of the health plans market which restricted the mechanisms typically used to refrain opportunistic behavior of clients and service providers, what contributed to increase the market's uncertainty and complexity. Besides, the health market's greatest asset – the doctor-patient relationship – is outside of the HICs control. If you add to these factors the impossibility to put in a contract all possible situations that may happen in the future, you get the ideal scenario for the vertical integration of the HICs with those who provide services for them. The analysis of the HICs' financial statements between 2007 and 2011 confirms an increased verticalization on those niches where it is allowed, with a special emphasis on the Physician Cooperatives. Interviews conducted with the managers of five HICs, selected among those that incurred in the largest expenses for providing healthcare services in their self-owned facilities between 2007 and 2011, allowed for the verification of the existence of the determinants of vertical integration predicted by the Transaction Cost Theory. Moreover, it was also verified that the analyzed HICs are internalizing healthcare assistance and procurement services, besides intending to internalize the management of the medical services provided to their clients, as a way to provide a more efficient and economically sustainable service. / Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro.
