Improving ambulatory patient access through strategic reorganisation and implementation of innovative ambulatory care best practices

John Muir Health, a large health system in northern California, struggled with a complex practice management structure that lacked role clarity and core positions, making it difficult to bring about positive change within the ambulatory setting. As part of a broader, strategic partnership to improve operations and deliver healthcare, health system leaders partnered with Optum Advisory to reorganise the practice management structure and optimise primary care patient access. Across its duration, the partnership improved access within primary care while reducing the administrative burden on providers through care team redesign, and with a new structure, physicians received administrative clarity and practice managers have leaders providing support for access, project management and innovation. These changes led to greater innovation and efficiency, resulting in higher satisfaction for patients, providers and staff. Optimising access and productivity, John Muir Health primary care practices have decreased the amount of time it takes for patients to get into the practice, increasing the overall number of patients they have been able to see. In addition, centralised prescription refills have allowed patients to receive their medications quicker while enabling physicians to concentrate on direct patient care. The overall result has been less administrative burden for providers and staff, allowing for more top-of-licence work and time with patients.

Compliance no direito ambiental, a noção de governança e a ética kantiana: uma práxis de gestão eficiente e de combate à corrupção

Given the current context of inefficient socio-environmental risk management, it is urgent to seek instruments that can improve the administrative-environmental management system. Based on a critical-philosophical analysis, sought to respond to the following problem: Is there a line of moral thought that serves as a basis for Compliance in the context of administrative-environmental management and in the fight against corruption? The objective was to analyze the concepts and draw a relationship between them as a possible path paved by ethics and responsibility capable of leading to administrative acts and conduct - from the private sector and public power - marked by honesty and by the prevalence of the interest and good of the whole community. The study, developed with a qualitative-explanatory methodology and deductive reasoning, with bibliographic and documentary research techniques, led to the following result: both corporate governance and Compliance and the integrity program are effective instruments in environmental administrative management processes and, combined with a solid ethical notion such as the Kantian one, become resources for combating corruption. It is concluded that there is relevance between Kantian moral thinking, Compliance and corporate governance practices in the context of administrative-environmental management, all of which have great potential in the process of fighting corruption.

Examination of the Current Situation and Governance Suggestions of Chinese Domestic Enclave

Demand forecast of emergency management talents in China: An empirical study

AbstractEmergency management bears the important responsibility of preventing and resolving security risks and responding to disasters and accidents in time. At the same time, it shoulders the important mission of protecting people's lives and property and maintaining social stability. However, there is little research on the forecast of the huge gap and demand for talent. To strengthen the emergency management ability and modernization, improve the ability of emergency management personnel training and solve the shortage of emergency management personnel at this stage, this paper studied the positioning of emergency management personnel in China and the demand for various emergency management personnel. By means of field interviews, questionnaire surveys, participatory research and expert meetings, this research analyzed the characteristics of emergency management talents in China, defined its classification and forecasted its demand. The results showed that emergency management talents in China could be divided into four categories: administrative management talents, practical talents, expert talents and support talents. According to the data calculation results of five representative provinces, Guangdong Province (area with relatively developed economy), Beijing (administrative centre and economically developed area), Sichuan Province (natural disaster‐prone area), Shanxi Province (developed area of energy industry such as coal) and Jiangsu Province (industrially developed areas), it is concluded that the total demand for emergency management talents in China at this stage is about 794,900, and the gap is about 411,200. At present, China's emergency management talents are in short supply. The research results of this paper can provide sufficient data support for the training of emergency management talents.

Patient safety incident reporting behavior and its associated factors among healthcare professionals in Hadiya zone, Ethiopia: A facility based cross-sectional study

BackgroundIncidents affecting patient safety can cause unnecessary injury to a patient. It is generally accepted that incident reporting can improve patient safety. In Ethiopian public hospitals, especially in the Hadiya zone, patient safety-related incidents are commonly witnessed, but there is no evidence of reporting behavior among healthcare professionals. PurposeThis study aimed to assess patient safety incident reporting behavior and its associated factors among healthcare professionals working in public hospitals in the Hadiya zone, South Nation's, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Region, Ethiopia, in 2021. MethodA cross-sectional study design was employed, among 345 healthcare professionals working in public hospitals in the Hadiya zone from August 1–30, 2021. A simple random sampling technique was used to select study participants, and a structured self-administered questionnaire which is adapted from a Hospital survey on patient safety survey and literature was used to collect the data. The data were entered into a data attraction template prepared using the Epi data software and then exported to the SPSS version 25 software for analysis. Descriptive analyses were conducted to determine the general characteristics and distributions of the data collected. An inferential statistical analysis was conducted using the logistic regression model to identify associations between outcome and predictor variables. The odds ratio with the 95 % confidence interval was used to test the associations between the outcome variable and predictor variables. Finally, statistical significance was set at p-value < 0.05. ResultsFrom the total of 354 healthcare professionals expected, 334 participants, which gave a response rate of 94.4 %, had completed and returned the questionnaire. The result shows that overall patient safety incident reporting behavior among healthcare professionals was 28.7 % (95 % Confidence Interval (CI): (24.6, 33.2). Being a nurse professional [Adjusted Odd Ratio (AOR): 5.48, 95 % CI: (1.67, 17.80)], having job training [AOR: 2.87, 95 % CI: (1.46, 6.28)], having a team within the units [AOR=2.79, 95 %CI: (1.23, 6.28)], communication openness [AOR=2.78, 95 %CI: (1.44, 5.37)], and management support [AOR=2.8, 95 %CI; (1.40, 5.60)] were found to factor significantly associated with patient safety incident reporting behaviour. ConclusionThis study revealed that the incident-reporting behavior among healthcare professionals was low compared to previous studies. Being a nurse professional, having an on -job training, having a team within the unit, communication openness, perception of the time reporting takes, fear of administration sanction and management support were factors associated with their patient safety incident reporting behavior. Managers should focus on patient safety incidents, prepare continuous training programs, and provide open communication to improve patient safety incident reporting.

Establishing a Benchmark for Iatrogenic Hemodilution and Blood Transfusion in Long-Segment Spine Fusion Surgery.

Single-center retrospective cohort study. To identify risk factors for transfusion during long-segment thoracolumbar fusion surgery and benchmark cutoffs that could be used by the operative team to guide the use of transfusion. Perioperative transfusion for patients undergoing long-segment thoracolumbar fusion surgery is common. To date, no standardized intra- and perioperative management of transfusion administration has been defined. Patients who underwent thoracolumbar fusion surgeries of 8 or more levels between 2015 and 2020 were identified. Patient demographics, surgical details, anesthesia and critical care records, and laboratory data were compared between patients who received intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusions and those who did not. Univariate and multivariate propensity-matched analyses were performed to identify independent predictors for blood transfusion, and ordinal analysis was performed to identify possible benchmark cutoffs. Among 233 patients identified who underwent long-segment fusions, 133 (57.1%) received a blood transfusion. Multivariate propensity-matched logistic regression showed that intravenous (IV) fluid volume was an independent predictor for transfusion (transfusion group 8051mL vs. non-transfusion group 5070mL, P<0.01). Patients who received ≥4L total IV fluids were more likely to undergo transfusion than those who received <4L (93.2% vs. 50.7%, P<0.01). Those receiving total IV fluids at a rate ≥60mL/Kg (OR 10.45; 95% CI: 2.62-41.72, P<0.01) or intraoperative IV fluids at a rate ≥9mL/Kg/hr (OR 4.46; 95% CI: 1.39-14.32, P<0.01) were more likely to require transfusions. IV fluid administration is an independent predictor for blood transfusion after long-segment fusion surgery. Limiting IV fluid administration may prevent iatrogenic hemodilution and decrease transfusion rates. These data can be used to create perioperative protocols with the goal of decreasing transfusion rates when not indicated and allowing earlier administration when indicated.

Standard-essential patent legal protection in China’s telecommunication industry: an international trade and economy perspective

ABSTRACT Standard-essential patents (SEPs) are specific types of patents that protect the technology incorporated in a standard. China has one of the world’s largest telecommunication markets, and its legal policies and practices regarding SEP protection profoundly influence the competitive environment of the Chinese telecommunication market, international economic and trade cooperation, and global telecommunication technology innovation. Recently, frequent disputes in the communication sector surrounding SEPs in China’s judicial practice revolved around the fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) principles, embodying three key issues: patent hold-up, licence fee rates, and anti-suit injunction. Regarding the patent hold-up and hold-out of SEPs in the telecommunication industry, a balance of interests between SEP holders and implementers in licence negotiations should be achieved under the guidance of the principles of FRAND from the perspective of legislation, administrative management, and the judiciary. Concerning licence fee rates, billing benchmarks should be judged based on individual cases, utilizing a comprehensive approach combining comparable licence agreement methods and top-down methods to determine a fair and reasonable licencing fee acceptable to all parties. In the conflict between anti-suit and anti–anti-suit injunctions, improving the anti-suit injunction rules and international cooperation mechanisms is necessary to achieve fair and non-discriminatory judicial processes and judgment results.

Enhancing Urban Living in Smart Cities Using the Internet of Things (IOT)

The widespread applications of smart cities through Internet of Things (IoT) have the potential to cause a revolution in urban living. This study covers the role of IoT technologies in improving urban life: resource management, environment preservation, and public utilities provision. IoT technologies are supported by the seamless integration of physical devices and Internet connectivity that always help save energy, improve transportation, and manage waste. IoT technology in smart cities creates new ideas to enhance urban living. The IoT allows seamless communication between systems and items, enabling quick data collection and analysis. This is a major technological development. This improves resources, automobile traffic, and administration management. Energy efficiency, waste management, and intelligent infrastructure may help cities become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. In that procedure, urban cities can become more sustainable. However, strong legislative frameworks are needed to handle data privacy and computer network security. Smart cities enabled through the IoT can change cities. This shift may be achieved with thorough planning and technological advances. This might create resilient, inclusive urban ecosystems that foster collaboration between communities, corporations, and governments.

Evaluating the mismatch between user requirements and existing situation display tools in administrative crisis management

AbstractCrisis management is a challenging and interdisciplinary task in which various information must be acquired and fused. In Germany, Civil Crisis Management is usually organized into two parts: the organizational‐administrative division and the operative‐tactical division, which are subordinate to the authorities (political) leadership. To organize an efficient and interdisciplinary response, crisis staffs can be called up. In these administrative crisis staffs, information sources are bundled, responsible experts collaborate and exchange information. To achieve a common understanding of the crisis, situational displays are created. Situational displays present the extend of the crisis and offer high‐level information required by the staff members. They can show the extent of the crisis area on maps or integrate other, for example numeric, information. This paper presents both state of the art in situational display creation and the most recent requirements in administrative crisis management. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and workshops regarding the tools for the creation of situational displays. For both data gathering methods, we were able to acquire active crisis management experts as participants. To determine the state of the art for situational displays for administrative crisis management staff we utilized structured questionnaires, which were answered by 14 crisis management authorities. Through two expert workshops with each nine participants, the requirements for situational display were collected. This paper compares the two datasets to evaluate the recent state of situational displays for administrative crisis staff in practice. The article summarizes usage of situational displays by practitioners and compiles lessons from the field.

The Trace of Professionalization in the South African Public Service Amendment Bill and Public Administration Management Bill: A Comparative Analysis

The South African public sector has over the years seen erosion of professionalization and proliferation of corruption which is perpetuated largely through supply chain management processes. Politicians, officials, and business people are equally involved in the corrupt practices and more than anything it is driven by greed and indifference to the needs of the poverty-stricken communities. What is even worse is that the money stolen is meant to serve poor people and is stolen by relatively rich people. Erosion of ethical governance in the public sector has directly affected professionalization of the public service. Employees who do not qualify or meet the requirements are appointed to positions of authority so that they can pay back to those who appointed them through tenders. These corrupt officials become untouchable and cannot be disciplined even if there are proven allegations on financial misconduct. Corruption also erodes professionalization by chasing away true professionals from the public sector. That is the reason why many South African professionals are leaving the country and relocating to countries like Australia, New Zealand, etc. The South African government has tried through legislation to combat corruption in the public service and promote professionalization, but it is still too early to see if these attempts are successful or not. It is for this reason that this study focused on tracing professionalization in the Public Service Bill and Public Administration Management Bill. The comparative analysis revealed that the Public Service Bill can identify and address strategic and systemic challenges that will inhibit professionalization of the public sector and put some mechanisms to deal with those challenges. Whilst the Public Administration Management Bill is not necessarily criticised for not being upfront with the reforms that will help professionalization, its focus by its very nature is the administration and management of the provisions of the Public Service Act. It therefore remains to be seen if there will be any changes brought about by these amendments when they are accented into law by the President. The research was able to trace the elements that promote and support professionalization in the two Bills. However, it remains to be seen if, once these Bills are accented into law, they are implementable and can achieve the objectives of the respective amendments. On the main the two Bills aim to eradicate political interference from administration. The recommendation is that all parties involved (politicians and officials) should respect these two pieces of legislation and implement them as they are for the benefit of the public service.

Population administration service officers must provide excellent service to the community in order to provide welfare and ease the process of managing population administration. The purpose of this study is to see the extent of the quality of population administration services carried out by population administration service officers of the Kelurahan Sumurwelut office and also to see public satisfaction with the quality of population administration services based on Klampid New Generation (KNG) application technology carried out by Kelurahan Sumurwelut. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive by obtaining data sources from interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of this study show that the quality of technology-based population administration services using the Klampid New Generation application carried out by Kelurahan Sumurwelut is very good. However, there are several factors that make the quality of population administration services hampered, namely when the occurrence of Klampid New Generation application servers that are error, unstable internet networks, and also people who do not understand the file requirements, and cannot take the time to come directly to the Kelurahan office to manage their files. This is not an obstacle to the decline in the quality of population administration services and public satisfaction with technology-based population administration services carried out by the Kelurahan Sumurwelut office.

Are We Really Retaining URiM Faculty in Academic Medicine?

Previous studies have identified the need to improve recruitment and retention of faculty who are underrepresented in medicine (URiM); however, it is unclear to what extent medical schools have been able to sustain growth and retain URiM faculty representation. Numbers of URiM faculty at each AAMC medical school from 2012 to 2021 were obtained from the Association of American Medical Colleges Faculty Administrative Management Online User System database. Year-over-year percent change was calculated for each school and year of the study period for all URiM faculty, junior URiM faculty, and senior URiM faculty. Pearson's correlation was used to compare percent change in 1 year to the previous and subsequent years for all three groups. Pearson's correlation coefficients were also used to compare percent change between junior and senior URiM faculty for the same, previous, and subsequent years. The percentage change for URiM faculty at all ranks between adjacent years occurring from 2012 to 2021 was weakly and negatively associated (r = - 0.06, p value = 0.03). There was significant positive correlation between the percent change in junior URiM faculty and senior URiM faculty in the same year (r = 0.11) and previous year (r = 0.09). URiM faculty growth in 1 year is not sustained in the next year. More research is needed to better understand efforts at retention of URiM faculty in academic medicine.
