This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.

This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Health - Public Health, grade: 2,5, University of Cologne, language: English, abstract: Imbalance between demand for and supply of physicians is an issue regularly addressed by the media, researchers and policy makers. It has been widely spread in many countries for years. Healthcare organizations in both of developed and developing countries have all experienced from that. Physician to patient ratio is one of the important normative population based indicators to measure this imbalance. It equals to the entire number of physicians in a healthcare organization dividing its patient volume within a certain period (e.g., a year). The quotient is often standardized in form of X (number of physicians) per 1,000 patients, or in form of ''1:X'' in order to express the amount of patients (X) that under one physician's management clearly. In comparison with other measurements, this kind of indicators are less complicated and easier to comprehend. An imbalance between physician demand and supply in a healthcare organization could be explicitly identified and quantified by comparing its actual physician to patient ratio with a ''gold standard''. Unfortunately, a wide-range suitable gold standard of physician to patient ratio does not exist. Therefore, healthcare organizations must make great efforts to find their own gold standards. The physician to patient ratio could be easily confounded with the patient to physician ratio which represents the number of physicians, who oversee one patient within his or her entire hospital stay. In an ideal model for patient care is ''1:1'' the target patient to physician ratio to aim at. But in reality, this ratio is not easy to realize. In this paper, merely the physician to patient ratio is under discussion. Imbalance between demand for and supply of physicians could bring inappropriate physician to patient ratio to healthcare organizations. It is one of the major threats to healthcare organizations, as it might have consequences such as lower quality of healthcare services, closure of hospital's ward, increasing wait time, reducing number of staff beds, under-utilization of physicians or higher medical costs. Managing the physician to patient ratio is not only a key to predict these risks but also the hope for turning the imbalance situations into balance ones. [...]

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.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Download or read book What Factors Affect the Productivity and Efficiency of Physician Practices? written by Jonathan Sunshine and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Increasing the productivity and efficiency of physician practices could help relieve the rapid growth of U.S. healthcare costs and the expected physician shortage. Radiology practices are an attractive specific focus for research on practices' productivity and efficiency because they are home to many purportedly productivity-enhancing operational technologies. This affords an opportunity to study the effect of production technology on physicians' output. As well, radiology is a leader in the general movement of physicians out of very small practices. And imaging is far the fastest-growing category of physician expenditure. Research Design: Using data from 2003 and 2007 surveys of radiologists, we estimate a stochastic frontier model to study the effects of practice characteristics, such as work hours, practice size, and output mix, and technologies used in work production, on practices' productivity and efficiency. Results: At the mean, the elasticities of output with respect to practice size and annual hours worked per full-time physician were 0.73 and 0.51, respectively. Some production technologies increase productivity by 15-20%; others generate no increase. Using “nighthawks” -- i.e., contracting out after-hours work to external firms that consolidate workflow -- significantly increases practice efficiency. Conclusions: The general U.S. trend toward larger practice size is unlikely to relieve cost or physician shortage pressures. The actual effect of purportedly productivity-enhancing operational technologies needs to be carefully evaluated before they are widely adopted. As the recently-developed innovations of nighthawks and hospitalists show, practices should give more attention to a possible choice to “buy,” rather than “make,” part of their output.

This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The anthrax incidents following the 9/11 terrorist attacks put the spotlight on the nation's public health agencies, placing it under an unprecedented scrutiny that added new dimensions to the complex issues considered in this report. The Future of the Public's Health in the 21st Century reaffirms the vision of Healthy People 2010, and outlines a systems approach to assuring the nation's health in practice, research, and policy. This approach focuses on joining the unique resources and perspectives of diverse sectors and entities and challenges these groups to work in a concerted, strategic way to promote and protect the public's health. Focusing on diverse partnerships as the framework for public health, the book discusses: The need for a shift from an individual to a population-based approach in practice, research, policy, and community engagement. The status of the governmental public health infrastructure and what needs to be improved, including its interface with the health care delivery system. The roles nongovernment actors, such as academia, business, local communities and the media can play in creating a healthy nation. Providing an accessible analysis, this book will be important to public health policy-makers and practitioners, business and community leaders, health advocates, educators and journalists.
