Transporting Comparative Effectiveness Evidence Between Countries: Considerations for Health Technology Assessments.

Internal validity is often the primary concern for health technology assessment agencies when assessing comparative effectiveness evidence. However, the increasing use of real-world data from countries other than a health technology assessment agency's target population in effectiveness research has increased concerns over the external validity, or "transportability", of this evidence, and has led to a preference for local data. Methods have been developed to enable a lack of transportability to be addressed, for example by accounting for cross-country differences in disease characteristics, but their consideration in health technology assessments is limited. This may be because of limited knowledge of the methods and/or uncertainties in how best to utilise them within existing health technology assessment frameworks. This article aims to provide an introduction to transportability, including a summary of its assumptions and the methods available for identifying and adjusting for a lack of transportability, before discussing important considerations relating to their use in health technology assessment settings, including guidance on the identification of effect modifiers, guidance on the choice of target population, estimand, study sample and methods, and how evaluations of transportability can be integrated into health technology assessment submission and decision processes.

Abstract The background of this research is the performance of employees of the Gresik Office of Tourism and Culture who have not reached the agency's target. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether there is a partial influence of discipline, motivation, and work environment on performance. The method in this study uses quantitative methods. The data analysis technique in this study used multiple linear regression analysis. The number of samples used in this study were 71 respondents. The analysis technique uses instrument testing, classical assumption test, and hypothesis testing. For test aids using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).

Chapter 6: A Rural Perspective on Marketing Services to Older Adults

SUMMARY In the scarce resource environment of rural communities, social workers have a special obligation to both embrace and contribute to the human service agency's marketing campaign. This chapter begins by clarifying the differences between goods and services and then develops a profile of the older adult as health and social service consumer. The unique features of rural older consumers are considered and approaches to segmenting a rural agency's target population are reviewed. Such concepts as outshopping, segmentation, destination marketing, and virtual servicescapes are considered as are the “Four P's” and the “Four I's” of marketing services. An organization-wide marketing philosophy is strongly encouraged in rural human service organizations.
