Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many countries already make use of private sector services to achieve policy objectives in public health care provision, it remains a controversial topic. Drawing on a wide range of country experiences, this book considers the use of the private sector in the provision of public health services in developing countries, in terms of: assessing the potential for private sector involvement, contracting with the private sector for health services, regulating the sector, and what to do when key information is not available.

This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief outlines an operational definition of the private sector in health service delivery, developed in collaboration with the WHO's Technical Advisory Group on the Governance of the Private Sector for Universal Health Coverage. The absence of a common definition was recognized as a challenge, potentially leading to an underestimation of the private health sector's impact on health systems. The private sector encompasses various subcomponents, including direct provision of health care, management of health care institutions, manufacturing of health care goods, and financing of health care. The focus of this definition is on private sector entities involved in service delivery.

Download or read book Engagement with the private sector in health for the COVID-19 response written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides comparative analysis on private sector engagement for COVID-19 response in the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR) with a specific focus on private sector health service delivery. The intention of this paper is to distil behaviours and derive lessons to strengthen governance of health systems, inclusive of the private sector in health. The study methodology included a literature review of articles published between January 2020 and March 2022 supplemented by key informant interviews with government, academic, development partner and private sector representatives. The comparative analysis highlights a range of practice in response to COVID-19. Practice built upon available institutional arrangements, organisational structures, mechanisms for coordination and information exchange. The degree to which this was effective varied and is reflective of the attributes of EMR contexts to manage change and secure essential public health functions. WHO seeks to support Member States with a practice-based and action-oriented approach to governance of the private sector in health, one that is grounded in context.

This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several decades, the public and private sectors made significant investments in global health, leading to meaningful changes for many of the world's poor. These investments and the resulting progress are often concentrated in vertical health programs, such as child and maternal health, malaria, and HIV, where donors may have a strategic interest. Frequently, partnerships between donors and other stakeholders can coalesce on a specific topical area of expertise and interest. However, to sustain these successes and continue progress, there is a growing recognition of the need to strengthen health systems more broadly and build functional administrative and technical infrastructure that can support health services for all, improve the health of populations, increase the purchasing and earning power of consumers and workers, and advance global security. In June 2015, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop on the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in health systems strengthening. Participants examined a range of incentives, innovations, and opportunities for relevant sectors and stakeholders in strengthening health systems through partnerships; to explore lessons learned from pervious and ongoing efforts with the goal of illuminating how to improve performance and outcomes going forward; and to discuss measuring the value and outcomes of investments and documenting success in partnerships focused on health systems strengthening. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

This book was released on 2016-09-24 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical component of the nation's economic vitality is ensuring that all Americans can contribute and prosper. Such contributions presuppose an intentional focus on achieving the highest levels of health possible, which requires that conditions in communities, schools workplaces, and other settings promote health and address the social determinants of health for all community members. Many organizations, in both the private and public sectors, have been establishing partnerships to further healthy workplaces and health equity in general. Many are taking the lead in producing economic growth that is inclusive and responsive to the nation's diverse needs and populations. Increasingly, privateâ€"public partnerships are emerging as ways of doing business. Additionally, a variety of new developments in health, health care, and community benefits obligations that are part of the Affordable Care Act have contributed to this interest in economic growth and health and in the creation of new partnerships. To examine past successes and future opportunities, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in November 2015. The workshop focused on the potential of the private sector to produce a triple bottom line: economic opportunity (including workforce development) and growth, healthy work and community environments, and improved employee health. At the same time, participants looked beyond the private sector to publicâ€"private partnerships and to public-sector actions that combine opportunities for economic growth and good health for all. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection focuses on the global growth of privatisation and private sector medicine in both developed and lesser developed countries, and the impact of this on patients, health workers, managers and policy-makers. Drawing upon sociological theories, concepts and insights, as well as experts from several countries with extensive experience in researching the field either nationally or internationally, the collection offers a unique perspective on healthcare services and healthcare systems: a view from those trying to access healthcare services, working inside health systems, or responsible for managing and organising services. Collectively, the chapters contribute an international perspective on the navigation of healthcare systems, and addresses the growing salience of ‘choice’ between public and private medicine in a variety of different national systems and contexts.

Book excerpt: "This volume examines the public/private sector mix in a number of national healthcare systems and their interface with the goals of health equity and quality of healthcare. Moreover, there is a consideration of public accountability. The unique significance of this collection of national studies involving the public/private sector mix of healthcare services and/or finances is that it provides insights into the factors that enhance the public/private sector mix in fulfilling the goals of health equity and the quality of healthcare services as well as an understanding of the circumstances in which elements of the public/private sector mix may be harmful for the achievement of such goals in a variety of national settings. The contributions to this volume provide a variety of perspectives in dealing with these objectives"--

Download or read book Private Sector Engagement in Public Health Systems written by Rafael Cortez and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the literature review was to provide evidence on private health sector engagement globally, with a specific focus on the South Caucasus. The analysis focused on private sector engagement through the lens of policy dialogue, information sharing, regulation, financing, and private sector provision, including performance and private sector engagement modalities. Results showed that the private sector in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia is heterogenous. Regulation aimed to increase health coverage with quality services and increase the institutional capacity of the Ministries of Health to collect and analyze data to know better how the private health sector operates and promote private-public partnership to respond to public health challenges. The creation of an autonomous health superintendence would help improve the performance of the private sector: overseeing and supervising the service delivery of private providers and ensuring a strong regulatory environment within countries with high levels of out-of-pocket payments. This entity should enforce transparent behaviors of doctor practices, licensing of physicians, and accreditation of private providers. In addition, the South Caucasus countries can adopt a mix of payment systems with private providers and establish arrangements that ensure a strong private-public partnership (PPP) in health through well-defined contracts. Health facilities with management autonomy should also ensure quality-based purchasing. PPPs would be an optimal way for the South Caucasus to engage with the private sector. Political will, legislative environments and regulatory frameworks, transparency, public sector capacity, complete and flexible contracts, and broad stakeholder engagement are essential conditions to expand PPPs. Learning from best practices globally and expanding research on how health systems create and regulate mixed public-private services are also essential to improve quality, equity, and efficiency of these systems, as countries work to achieve universal health coverage.

Book excerpt: This provocative appraisal unpacks commonly held beliefs about healthcare management and replaces them with practical strategies and realistic policy goals. Using Henry Mintzberg’s “Myths of Healthcare” as a springboard, it reveals management practices that undermine care delivery, explores their cultural and corporate origins, and details how they may be reversed through changes in management strategy, organization, scale, and style. Tackling conventional wisdom about decision-making, cost-effectiveness, service quality, and equity, contributors fine-tune concepts of mission and vision by promoting collaboration, engagement, and common sense. The book’s multidisciplinary panel of experts analyzes the most popular healthcare management “myths,” among them: · The healthcare system is failing. · The healthcare system can be fixed through social engineering. · Healthcare institutions can be fixed by bringing in the heroic leader. · The healthcare system can be fixed by treating it more as a business. · Healthcare is rightly left to the private sector, for the sake of efficiency. The Myths of Health Care speaks to a large, diverse audience: scholars of all levels interested in the research in health policy and management, graduate and under-graduate students attending courses in leadership and management of public sector organization, and practitioners in the field of health care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The health services in South Africa have undergone a major reorientation in an attempt to provide the poorest and most vulnerable segments of society with increased access to affordable, quality health care. Unfortunately, the new policies and health plans have not translated into a commensurate improvement of actual health service delivery and health status. A key missing element has been the lack of an appropriate financial planning and budgeting system. This book, Transformation in Action, attempts to fill the void that exists between planning, budgeting and implementation in the public health sector. Drawing on local and international research and policy experiments, it outlines an alternative system called the Performance Budgeting System (PBS). Unlike the current budgeting system, the PBS system integrates financial planning and management with strategic, operational, performance and quality management objectives to ensure that, within budget constraints, service delivery outputs have the greatest possible impact on health outcomes. In so doing, this system can contribute substantially to achieving the objectives of recent public sector reform initiatives and the ideals of the Constitution.
