Thesis (MTech (Information Technology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012. / This research is an attempt to investigate the utilisation of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in Healthcare to support the flow of HIV/AIDS patient’s general information in public and private sector. Furthermore, the research examines the detail flow of database information for healthcare service delivery to patients, in particular HIV/AIDS patients, in Khayelitsha Township. Finally, the research will detail the types of technologies currently being utilised to transfer this information, technology utilised for capturing or data collection profile of the patient. The research study data collecting was done in 2009 in mostly private and public healthcare centre in Khayelitsha township.
First, the study will concentrate on general utilisation of ICT in healthcare service delivery and flow of information for public and private sector healthcare centres. Additionally, the research also looks at NGOs such as HIV/AIDS Unit in Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) and Treament Action Campaign (TAC) to find out what ICT equipment is being utilised to transfer this information to adult people to inform and make them to be aware of HIV/AIDS and improve healthcare service delivery to patients and particularly to HIV/AIDS patients. Taking NGO’s such as TAC and CPUT HIV/AIDS Unit that are well informed about HIV/AIDS, nationally and internationally will make our research results to be more precise. The research will also look at the utilisation of ICT in flow of information at healthcare centre such as communication between healthcare providers such as receptionist/clerk, nurses, doctors and medical researchers since they are the first people who deal with HIV/AIDS patient cases when they come for healthcare provision.

Evaluation of sociocultural competency training in enhancing self-efficacy among immigrant and Canadian-born health sciences traineesWong, Yuk Shuen 11 1900 (has links)
The study was to investigate the effectiveness of Sociocultural
Competency Training (SCCT) as an intervention in enhancing self-efficacy
among trainees in the health care profession. The purposes of the study were
threefold: (a) to evaluate the effectiveness of the training in enhancing the
trainees' self-efficacy and behavioural performance; (b) to examine their
personal experiences in the learning ofthe sociocultural competencies, and (c)
to identify the factors that contribute to effective outcomes. A sample of 84
participants in the Health Sciences program at the Vancouver Community
College was recruited. There were 26 local born Canadians and 32 immigrants
in the experimental group, whereas 11 local born Canadians and 15 immigrants
were in the control group. Experimental group participants took part in an 18-
hour training over a 6-week period as part of their regular Human Relations
Skills course curriculum. The control group also took the same training course
after post-test data collection.
This study used both quantitative and qualitative methods. Self-efficacy
and behavioural performance were assessed quantitatively by the results from
the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), Situational Social Avoidance Scale
(SSA), Social Self-Efficacy Scale (SSE), and Interpersonal Skills Checklist
(ISC-33). Qualitative data was collected through written feedback from 28
participants and semi-structured interviewing with 24 volunteer interviewees in the experimental group.
The results of this study supported the hypotheses that the Sociocultural
Competency Training was effective in improving the interpersonal skills and
lowering the social avoidance tendency among participants in the experimental
group when compared to individuals in the control group. The hypothesis that
there would be more significant change in participants' social self-efficacy was
also supported. The Sociocultural Competency Training offered effective ways
of helping people develop positive self-efficacy and behavioural competencies.
Participants reported the training enabled them to have the sociocultural
competencies to conduct their professional career in a multicultural community.
In the future, the training can be used with high school students, college and
university students, international students, professionals, business people, and
expatriates who need to learn the sociocultural competencies for career
success. / Education, Faculty of / Educational and Counselling Psychology, and Special Education (ECPS), Department of / Graduate

A web accessible clinical patient information networked systemChang, Andrew Yee 01 January 2006 (has links)
Developed with the intention to make the patient data storage system in the clinical outpatient area more efficient, this system stores all pertinent and relevant patient data such as lab results, patient history and X-ray images. The system is accessible via the internet as well as operable over a local area network (LAN). The intended audience for this program is essentially the clinical staff (e.g., physicians, nursing staff, secretarial staff). The computer program was developed using Java Server Pages (JSP) and utilizes the Oracle 9i database.

Evaluation of fee waiver scheme effectiveness in improving health care access to the poor segments of the population in Addis Ababa, EthiopiaZemichael Mekonen Hagos 08 1900 (has links)
Background: Availing equitable and affordable health services for citizens is becoming a
problem for governments of developing countries. In Ethiopia, the government has been
implementing fee waiver scheme since 1998 to advance the health access by the poor,
though it is still a crucial challenge of the health sector.
Purpose: The intent of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of fee waiver scheme
in improving access to health by the poor in Addis Ababa and to propose implementation
framework to improve its outcome.
Method: This study employed qualitative research approach to evaluate the program
effectiveness and to propose implementation framework in two phases. Exploratory and
descriptive case study designs, and Delphi techniques were utilized to evaluate the
scheme’s effectiveness and to validate the proposed implementation framework. The
researcher employed purposive and convenience sampling methods to sample the study
populations, and used Atlas ti 7.5 software to analyze the findings.
Result: This study revealed that the commencement of the scheme has benefited
considerable poor population in the city. However, its effectiveness in terms of
addressing the needy population, services coverage and protecting the poor from financial hardship is not yet achieved. Poor health facilities capacity, poor program
management and lack of comprehensive monitoring and accountability system were
found major factors that affected its success. As a result, the researcher proposed an
implementation framework with the aim of addressing these problems.
Conclusion: Achieving Universal Health Coverage without addressing the indigents’
health need is impossible. Lack of comprehensive health services, in adequate
population coverage and poor financial protection were among the major findings.
Hence, prior attentions should be given to equip health facilities with necessary
infrastructures and ensure the inclusion of all needy populations through effective
monitoring, governance and leadership mechanisms to improve its intended outcomes.
If utilized properly, the findings and the implementation framework of this study will serve
as valuable resources for immediate decisions and directions by the policy makers / Health Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Health Studies)

Retiring in a Foreign Land: Health Care Issues of US Retirees in MexicoAmin, Iftekhar 12 1900 (has links)
This research examined the health care related issues of the American seniors retiring in Mexico. Data for this study were collected through in-person questionnaire surveys and case studies. Findings of this study indicate that US seniors retiring in Mexico are predominantly non-Hispanic whites, married, and more likely to be college graduates. This study challenges the general perception that US seniors move to foreign countries is "amenity-led." The case studies clearly show that many US seniors move there because they are afraid that with reduced income and increased health care needs they would not be able to maintain the same lifestyle after retirement in the US. Climate and the slower pace of life are two other big attractions for seniors' to move to Mexico. A major finding of this study is age, gender, education, use of Medicare for medical care coverage, and chronic medical condition are significant predictors of US seniors' health behavior and health outcomes in Mexico. The policy implications of the findings have been discussed.
