Abstract
The Impact of a Triage System Designed to Reduce Waiting Time and Prioritize Care for High-Risk Obstetric Patients in a Ghanaian Regional Hospital
Highlights
Despite the recent growth in health informatics, the use of information, communication and technology (ICT) by health researchers in resource-limited settings has been slow and inequitable
Many local institutions that have excellent ICT capacity do not routinely provide such services to the health researchers. innovative delivery of ICT skills to health researchers may improve the quality and impact of research outcomes. This is an implementation science study conducted at the University of Nairobi (UoN) School of Computing and Information Science (SCI) in Nairobi, Kenya
In this Fogarty-funded program performed in collaboration with the University of Washington, Kenyan health researchers interested in ICT were invited for three tiers of training involving an online module open to hundreds of students nationally, a face-to-face workshop at UoN SCI for 30 students, and one-on-one mentoring for 10 students
Summary
Despite the recent growth in health informatics, the use of information, communication and technology (ICT) by health researchers in resource-limited settings has been slow and inequitable. Innovative delivery of ICT skills to health researchers may improve the quality and impact of research outcomes. Since the implementation of the New Cooperative Medical Scheme (NCMS) in 2003, there has been a proliferation of research about the effects of public health insurance, healthcare resource utilization, and its associated clinical outcomes. There is little evidence regarding the association between the NCMS and labor force supply behaviors in rural China. The aim of this paper is to contribute substantively to the literature by examining the effect of the NCMS on these behaviors, hours of farm work, the likelihood of not working, and the likelihood of off-farm labor force participation
