▼ Seeking healthcare is an act of trust: patients reveal private information, pain, and vulnerability to physicians who have specialized knowledge and skills. Patients may endure risk and uncertain treatment outcomes based on the assurance of a trusted physician. Physicians’ professional oaths compel them to protect patients’ welfare first, and the power imbalance in these relationships is tolerable precisely because of the bond of trust. When this trust is protected, it is a powerful tool: patients are more engaged, benefit more from medical interventions, and are healthier overall. Yet these healthcare relationships are contained within larger institutions – hospitals, insurance companies, government programs – that may circumscribe physicians’ abilities to protect patients’ trust to the fullest and even contribute to negative medical experiences. Because trust and vulnerability characterize patients’ interactions with healthcare institutions, institutional actions and inactions that contribute to negative medical experiences constitute institutional betrayal. In this dissertation I address this largely unexamined issue in healthcare research by drawing on research and theory in trauma psychology. I report the results of a study based on the survey responses of 707 American adults. Institutional betrayal in healthcare was reported by two-thirds of the participants and predicted lower trust in participants’ own physicians, doctors in general, and healthcare organizations. These negative effects were more pronounced for patients who reported higher levels of trust in healthcare institutions prior to the betrayal and did not seem to be influenced by a general tendency to trust others. However, the effects of institutional betrayal on trust in healthcare organizations were buffered by trust in one’s own physician. Institutional betrayal also predicted worse physical health and increased symptoms of depression, dissociation, and post-traumatic distress – both directly and through disengagement from healthcare. Consistent with betrayal trauma theory, participants who experienced institutional betrayal were five times more likely to report some difficultly remembering that betrayal and negative medical experiences. This unawareness may allow patients to continue to seek necessary medical care, even in the presence of institutional betrayal. In order to understand what contributes to patient trust and engagement in healthcare and why some patients experience worse mental and physical health outcomes, institutional betrayal must be taken into account.

▼ This study investigated on the factors driving high cost in the private medical health providers in Namibia. The study sort seeks answers to the following questions (1) how has the trend in the Private Medical Aid Fund cost been during the period 2009 to 2013 (2) What are the factors contributing to annual increments in the Medical Aid Fund Premiums (3) Do increases in the Medical Aid Fund Premiums have impacts on access to Private healthcare in Namibia (4) What can be done to curb the increase cost of Private Medical Aid Funds in Namibia. The researcher used a face to face interview which was administered to 25 medical aid personnel. A structured questionnaire was administered to 50 randomly selected members of the public including members of private medical aid funds. The qualitative data was analyzed using Atlas.ti software which grouped the data into semantic codes and themes. The theoretical triangulation was used to interpret the data on the views and perceptions of the key informants. These views and perceptions were grouped into different themes related to the factors that drive the Medical Aid cost in Namibia. For the quantitative data analysis, the descriptive statistics were used to describe and synthesize the socio-demographic data. In fact, the categorical variables were summarized into frequency distributions and percentages; the continuous variables were summarized into central tendency parameters (mean, median, and mode) and the dispersion parameters (standard deviation, Interquartile). Furthermore, the inferential statistics were used for the analysis of the factors driving the medical aid cost in Namibia. In fact, Pearson chi square test was used to test for the association between the different factors and the increase of Medical Aid cost. Correlation analysis was used to determine the trend and strength of statistical association between the pricing of medical aid premiums at different periods. A p-value of 0.05 or less will be deemed statistically significant. Findings of this research study showed that there has been a general increase of both monthly medical aid premiums and the number of membership from the year 2009-2013. The study also unveiled that the main factor fueling the high cost of medical aid premiums is inflation and a general increase in the costs of medical services. It was recommended that the government of Namibia should introduce price control mechanisms to medical services’ providers and Medical Aid Schemes. It should also reinforce the preventive programs and educate the Namibian general public to live healthy for them to keep their medical expenses low.

▼ Scholars argue that there is a need to for healthcare managers/supervisors to be talented in management if they are to effectively deal with today’s increasing complicated healthcare environment. Managers/supervisors should work in such a way that they show measurable results and effectiveness to put into practice management operations informed by credible evidence on management. On the other hand, academic and professional programmes are underscoring the need for managers/supervisors to acquire competencies that would make them effective in their workplace. Even then, it remains unknown the competencies of healthcare managers/supervisors in the South African healthcare including managers/supervisors at the Busamed Gateway Private Hospital. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the competencies of healthcare managers/supervisors as a lack of appropriate competencies among healthcare managers/supervisors may be the cause of some of the healthcare challenges faced by the Busamed Gateway Private Hospital. A case study research design was used to guide the study. A quantitative research methodology was used to underpin the study, and census sampling was used to select twenty-four respondents. Data was collected using a questionnaire. Data was analysed with SPSS version 24.0. Generally, findings indicate that managers/supervisors at the Busamed Gateway Private Hospital believe to have communication and relationship management, professionalism, leadership, knowledge of the healthcare system and business skills competencies. However, with regards to communication/relationship management competencies the study indicates that managers/supervisors do not show negotiation competencies. There is a need therefore for managers/supervisors to explore the principles of seeking mutual benefit with employees as this key to a successful leadership in hospitals. With regards professionalism competencies managers/supervisors are strong in ethical and health profession competencies than in other competencies. There is a need for managers/supervisors to consider all professional competencies as important in hospital operation. Findings on healthcare environment competencies show that improving the health system competence is not prioritised, as results managers/supervisors do not have the freedom to implement whole scale changes to the health care system. There is a need to revisit the hospital regulations and laws to allow leaders to be creative and innovative. The study found that leaders lack competencies to organise employees and resources that are critical in the process of delivering health care services. Thus, systems for the management of employees within the hospital should be revisited to maximise employee performance. On leadership competencies, the study found that managers/supervisors do not believe to have mutual trust competencies. Therefore, managers/supervisors lack skills to promote workplace trust. There is a need to run programmes to specifically teach employees on the importance of relationships between internal… Advisors/Committee Members: Naidoo, Vannie. (advisor).

▼ This was a pilot study on the decision making environments in the health care industry. A critical incident questionnaire which was developed by Boone & Kilmann (1988) and later used by Janet Barnard (1992) in her research "Decision Environments of Small Firms" was adapted. The questionnaires were sent to 201 employees at the facility in the first sampling. A response of almost 50% was received, but the food service department was only represented by 3 respondents. It was decided that a second sampling would be sent to that department to assure a large enough set of respondents to use as a comparison group. Among the 1 13 final respondents, the majority (79%) are female employees. Most of the participants are over 35 years old, and their years of experience in the health care industry range from 11 to over 20 years, while 79% of the respondents have a Bachelors degree or higher education level. In part one of the questionnaire, the respondent was asked to consider and briefly describe a work related decision in which he/she was recently involved. There were 77 participants (68.1%) who answered this question, of those 62 were operational decisions and 15 were strategic decisions. Part two of the questionnaire was a set of 32 questions randomly arranged. The set of 32 questions were divided in 6 main factors: factor 1- Inputs, factor 2- Problem ID, factor 3- Rewards, factor 4- Group Efforts, factor 5- Politics, and factor 6- Resource Adequacy. A series of t-test were done on the six factors analyzing possible differences in gender, TQM training cycle, age, education level, years of experience, department, direct care provider or not, and type of direct care provider. A 0.95 confidence interval was used to identify if there was a significant difference. The pilot study had several significant differences, but the most interesting was the large gap between the food service department and all the other departments. It appears that as a rule most everyone except the administrative group agree that the rewards are very poor and the political blocks are also very bad. The only difference is that food service believes that it is worse in their area. This study illustrates that the health care industry needs to begin to understand the decision making environment within the facilities. It is evident with the finding of only one or two related articles on the subject that health care is neglecting this topic. It is recommended that the instrument be adapted and used at several other healthcare facilities to obtain a base to compare the quantitative data against. The results of further studies would be to understand and improve the decision making environment of the healthcare industry. Advisors/Committee Members: Whitlock, Carol.

▼ Aspergillosis spores enter buildings during renovation or construction. Recent research shows a causal link between new construction in existing healthcare facilities and increased infection rates in at risk patients. Aspergillosis is a dangerous pathogen that can lead to death, especially in immune suppressed patients, who are most at risk. Not all patients have the same risk level of infection, but infection control is an important step in the construction process, as the Aspergillosis spores are transmitted on dust particles, to reduce the risk of fatal infections. Infection control barriers have been largely adopted for new hospital construction at an existing facility to reduce the incidence of infections caused by construction dust borne pathogens. Previous research on construction barriers at TAMU showed that a properly placed plastic sheet barrier stopped all particle movement for a pressure differential of 105 kiloPascals measured over twenty-four hours. It is not possible to maintain a sealed barrier during all construction, although this is the most effective means of stopping dust transmission intra-building, doors are often needed to access the construction site safely. This study extends the work on the sealed barrier to introduce a small door into the sealed barrier. The door area is five percent of the wall area. The purpose of the experiment is to study the rate of particle movement, size range of one to ten microns, through the barrier with a door present under a defined set of standard air flow conditions. The door will be opened and closed at different times during the experimental period. No dust could be observed to have moved through the doorway under the present study conditions. The results show that it is not a sufficient condition to assume that measuring air exchange rates is sufficient to determine the rate of dust movement; it appears to have an air surface velocity dependence that was not studied in this research. Future research is recommended to include the air velocity movement as a variable in the study.

▼ Current healthcare reforms advocate significantly to improve the coordination of services around a patient-centric model, with an overarching goal to maximize patient outcomes with lower cost, i.e. a value-based care. With most patient care delivered through outpatient services, the need to coordinate different services and their patient appointment scheduling decisions becomes central to successful reform. Currently, outpatient services are particularly fragmented with minimal coordination among different providers, and the coordination is left to the patient. This approach causes compromised patient health outcomes, an increase in missed appointments and unacceptable access delays. Therefore, the potential impact of coordinating outpatient services is great, in terms of improving patient outcomes and satisfaction, optimizing providers’ utilization and reducing operational costs. In the first study, we investigate how to coordinate the delivery of care in the preoperative process for surgical outpatient. Based on the concept of the Perioperative Surgical Home proposed by the American Society of Anesthesiologists, we develop a Patient-Centered Surgical Home (PCSH) model. Using statistical analysis and simulation, we demonstrate how this can be implemented and reveal the potential benefits on cooperation of the referring clinics and integrating patient in- formation early in the preoperative process. The second study proposes a multi-station network model that sequentially schedules patient appointments in a network of stations with stochastic service times, no-show possibilities, and overbooking. We propose a myopic coordinated policy and present evidence that the policy yields a solution that is close to optimal and is computationally feasible. However, the solution is not simple enough for practical implementation. Hence, we explore a sequence of approximations and find one that offers a tremendous computational advantage. We also provide several managerial insights and discuss how network structures affect complexity. In the third study, we focuses on the cost perspective of coordination. We formulate a multi-server, multi-clinic model that represents the current practice at the PCSH and develop a coordinated scheduling method that dynamically balances the utilizations of all services as patients are sequentially scheduled in the PCSH. We compare our proposed policy against other policies found in the practice and the results shed light on the risk of improper coordination in our increasingly interdependent healthcare system.

▼ Background and objectives: Namibia aims to improve population health and human development. As there is limited research to date exploring the sociodemographic patterns of disease and healthcare access in the country, this thesis aimed to assess the burden of infectious and non-communicable diseases, the coverage of public health interventions and barriers to healthcare access at the population level. Methods: Using data collected from 9,849 households and 41,646 individuals in the 2013 Namibia Demographic and Health Survey, the prevalence and sociodemographic patterns of disease and healthcare barriers were explored. Specifically, this thesis investigated the prevalence and distribution of chronic diseases, the coverage of public health interventions and access to healthcare. The determinants of these outcomes were assessed in descriptive, multivariable and spatial analyses. Results: In this DHS population, chronic disease prevalence was high (HIV: 13.9%; hypertension: 36.9% and hyperglycaemia: 5.4%). However, co-morbidity of these conditions was low. Malaria control intervention coverage was below government target levels in high transmission areas. In relation to healthcare access, almost half of women reported at least one barrier to healthcare, including distance to health facilities and getting money for treatment. Women who were less educated, less wealthy and lived in rural areas were more likely to report distance as a problem in accessing care. Spatial analyses indicated that distance and travel time to health facilities was highly variable in rural areas, with approximately 40% of the rural population having to travel for more than an hour to reach a facility. Multivariable analyses indicated that men, those who were less wealthy and lived in rural areas lived further away from health facilities. Health insurance was associated with health service utilisation but coverage of insurance was just 17.5%, with men, wealthier and more educated populations more likely to be insured. Conclusions: The findings presented in this thesis suggest that urban-rural and socioeconomic differences are underlying determinants of population health and healthcare access in Namibia, with rural, less wealthy and less educated populations often disadvantaged. Further research is needed to better understand disease co-morbidity, to evaluate intervention programmes, and to more intricately understand the population-level barriers to healthcare in the country so as to inform strategies to improve population health and achieve human development in Namibia.

Emerging diseases like the current pandemic, COVID-19, and the increasing number of chronic diseases around the world are putting considerable pressure on the healthcare system, demanding for more services, with higher quality and more efficient. Hence the healthcare system needs to transition towards sustainable healthcare. An approach to achieve a transition towards sustainable healthcare is the Quadruple Aim. It is a practical framework that focuses on improving the health of the population, improving the work-life of care providers, enhancing patients experience and reducing health cost. To implement these four aims, it is necessary the collaboration between multiple disciplines and the implementation of an innovative approach. Open innovation provides a space for transdisciplinary collaboration and innovation to occurs. Hence, this graduation project explores transdisciplinary collaborations in the healthcare sector, focusing on open innovation initiatives. The research question for this study is how to build effective transdisciplinary collaborations in healthcare? This graduation project took place in two countries, the Netherlands and Mexico. In the Netherlands, I realised interview research in eight open innovation initiatives. Later, in Mexico, I did a case study at the Research and Technological Development Unit inside the General Hospital of Mexico ‘Eduardo Liceaga’. Afterwards, I realised a comparative analysis between both studies, followed by a design phase to build effective transdisciplinary collaborations in healthcare. The results of the two studies present a future vision and a future-oriented strategy for the Research and Technological Development Unit to improve collaboration between actors. The future vision contributes to the alignment of the actors involved in the unit so that they can work in the same direction. The strategy is formed by three strategic lines: organisational and project development support, building a knowledge community, and promote and consolidate the unit. These strategic lines aim to guide the actors towards the future vision by suggesting a series of steps. The success of this initiative could contribute to boost innovation in healthcare. A suggestion for future research is on how design can facilitate the implementation of the strategy by considering the collaboration of all the actors present in the unit.

▼ Telemedicine is the use of electronic communication to exchange medical information to improve patient health. While the medical feasibility and clinical benefits of this technology have been widely discussed, there remains a salient strategic question addressing the economics of telemedicine and the impact of such a technology on various stakeholders. My dissertation attempts to address the economic issue of telemedicine for the case of chronic health conditions. I develop an analytical model to investigate patient choices and behaviors when treatment is available via telemedicine in addition to in-person. I take Parkinson's disease to illustrate the nature of a chronic condition. Initial clinical results have already shown that care via telemedicine is feasible, and that it produces results which are on par with conventional in-person visits. I consider a market where two hospitals compete for patients spread out in the region and one of the two hospitals sets up a telemedicine facility. Based on my model, I observe that the utility to a patient in choosing telemedicine, relative to in-person visits, does not always increase with the distance of the patient from the specialist hospital. In other words, I show why not all patients may switch to telemedicine even if it is available. However, I derive general conditions under which telemedicine, as it is widely believed, not only increases access to remote patients, but also increases the catchment area for the hospital which initiates a telemedicine practice. But contrary to popular expectations, I show that telemedicine, unlike numerous other e-commerce applications, does not lead to the \winner takes all" phenomenon. Thus, competitors may continue to co-exist even without offering telemedicine services. I also analyze how community hospitals could help with the effort of increasing access and when there could be a symbiotic relationship between community hospitals and specialist hospitals. Next, I investigate the strategic behavior of medical specialists and look at the impact of travel burden on their behavior in terms of their decisions, price and service rate. The objective of a revenue-maximizing specialist is to maximize the revenue from treating self-centered utility-maximizing patients, by changing one or both the price he charges and the rate at which he sees patients. Typically, patients travel long distances to see a specialist. Using my analytical model, I find that when patients experience significant travel burden, the specialist tends to spend more time with the patients, as though he tries to compensate for the disutility of travel. The objective of the welfare-maximizing specialist will be to maximize the gross utility less expected service costs of all patients, by deciding on the number of patients to see and the rate at which he serves them. I find that while from a social welfare perspective, the specialist needs to see more patients, the revenue-maximizing specialist opts to see fewer patients and gains more…

▼ U.S. healthcare costs have experienced unsustainable growth, with expenditures of $2.5 trillion in 2009, and are rising at a rate faster than that of the U.S. economy. A major factor in the cost of the U.S. healthcare system is related to the strategic behavior of system participants based on their incentives. This dissertation addresses the challenge of designing incentives to solve problems in healthcare systems. Principal agent theory and Markov decision processes are the primary methods used to construct incentives. The first problem considered is how to design contracts in order to align consumer and provider incentives with respect to preventive efforts. The model consists of an insurer contracting with two agents, a consumer and a provider, and focuses on the trade off between ex ante moral hazard and insurance. Two classes of efforts on behalf of the provider are studied: those which complement consumer efforts, and those which substitute with consumer efforts. The results show that the provider must be given incentives when the consumer is healthy to induce effort, and that inducing provider effort allows an insurer to save on incentives given to the consumer. The insurer can save on the cost of incentives by using a multilateral contract compared to the bilateral benchmark. These savings are illustrated by an example showing which model features affect the savings achieved. The second problem addresses the decision to provide knowledge to consumers regarding the consequences of health behaviors. The model developed to address this second problem extends the literature on incentives in healthcare systems to consider dynamic environments and includes a behavioral model of healthcare consumers. By using a learning model of consumer behavior, a policy maker's knowledge provision problem is transformed into a Markov decision process. This framework is used to solve for optimal knowledge provision policies regarding behaviors affecting coronary health. Sensitivity analysis shows robust threshold features of optimal policies. The results show that knowledge about smoking should be provided at most health and behavior states. As the cost of providing knowledge increases or aptitude for behavioral change decreases, fewer states are in the optimal knowledge provision policy, with healthy consumers dropping out first. Knowledge about diet and physical activity is provided more selectively due to the to uncertainty in the health benefits, and the time delay in accrued rewards.

▼ Patient Experience is well recognized in health quality improvement initiatives within developed countries due to the reforms that result thereof. Developing a conceptual model to improve patient experience in South Africa is undertaken in this study. The study consists of a qualitative (nine nursing service managers participated in semi-structured interviews) and quantitative component (three hundred patients were included in a survey). A one hundred percent response rate was noted for the qualitative interviews and a 93.3 percent response rate was noted for the surveys that were conducted. Data for the quantitative study was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences and a thematic analysis using NVIVO was applied to the qualitative data. The results from the qualitative component highlight the need for patient experience to be incorporated in the drive for quality improvement and stress the value of a patient experience model. Nursing managers support that the patient experience is positive in the primary health clinic but the survey findings reveal that the majority of respondents reported a negative patient experience. The overall patient experience satisfaction variable indicates that more than 50% of the respondents are dissatisfied with the overall patient experience. The Kruskal-Wallis analysis reveals a significant association with age and race on the overall patient experience satisfaction. Older patients are more accepting of health service delivery as compared to younger patients who are more critical. Patients show agreement with more than 50% of respondents indicating that the fifteen domains as per the Conceptual Framework are influencers of their patient experience. Nursing managers showed support for all fifteen domains. A latent factor analysis revealed that Information, Communication, Management Effectiveness towards Producing Positive Outcomes and Patient Centered Care were not statistically significant towards influencing the patient experience. The conceptual model was developed by incorporating the remaining eleven domains that influence the patient experience and the positive reforms that result thereof. Given the changing landscape in SA, it was necessary to develop a model to improve patient experience in order to improve the quality of service delivery thus engaging sustainable positive reform.

▼ The efficiency gains of hospital mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are derived not only from the market, financial, and managerial synergies, but also from operational synergies in economies of scale, clinical standardizations, service line optimizations, and so forth. To understand the roles that operations characteristics, and operations strategy play in hospital acquisitions, this dissertation examines the direct effects of geographic proximity and the service overlap on an acquired hospital’s post-acquisition operational performance (i.e., cost and quality) and its post-acquisition service-mix changes. The dissertation presents the findings from two essays. The first essay examines whether acquisitions benefit hospitals in terms of cost and quality. In addition, we try to determine the extent to which these benefits stem from similarities in two operational characteristics (i.e., service lines and geographical location). In the second essay, we test the effects of geographic proximity and market competition on an acquired hospital’s operations strategy (i.e., the service-mix changes). Analyzing four years (2010-2013) of data from 218 acquired hospitals in the U.S. (i.e., target hospitals), we find that hospital acquisitions result in lower readmission rates and operating expenses for the acquired hospitals. Also, the degree of geographic proximity is positively related to the post-acquisition quality improvements of the acquired hospitals. More important, there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between the pre-acquisition degree of service line similarity between the acquired and the acquirer hospitals and the post-acquisition quality improvements of the acquired hospital. Moreover, the relationship between the degree of service similarity and an acquired hospital’s post-acquisition quality performance is moderated by the degree of geographic proximity between the acquired and the acquirer hospitals. Finally, geographic proximity and market competition have some effects on an acquired hospital’s post-acquisition service-mix changes.

▼ In these current times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for a widely available diagnostic platform for diagnosis of viral infections cannot be overstated. Such a platform that can be easily manufactured on a large scale would be beneficial both for making clinical decisions as well as provide new tools to epidemiologists broadly screening the population during epidemic threats. Fraunhofer USA CMI has focused on manufacturability of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics as a strategic point of development that can reduce costs and close the gap between research efforts and getting devices to the market. Here we report an inkjet printed platform that has the potential to increase the sensitivity of the molecular assay, be compatible with mass manufacturing methods and allow for reagent storage on-chip. Isothermal methods such as loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) have been used for rapid disease diagnosis in low resource settings due to their increased sensitivity and lack of thermal cycling. Fluorescent based LAMP readout techniques like QUASR also lend themselves to easy deployment in field settings via smartphones. However, rather than taking the standard approach, we developed a hydrogel based LAMP (gel-RTLAMP) assay by incorporating an engineered hydrogel, highly methacrylated gelatin (GM10). In this study we show that this hydrogel is compatible with both the LAMP reaction and piezoelectric inkjet printing. Furthermore, via limit of detection studies we also show that this gel-RTLAMP assay is 100 fold more sensitive than a standard RT-LAMP assay and results in clinically relevant detection of DENV RNA in analytical samples (10 copies per reaction). Unfortunately we could not characterize the final inkjet printed platform due to time limitations and other issues, but instead we report a proof-of-principle study to show that this gel-RTLAMP assay can be adapted in a microarray format via inkjet printing and has the potential for rapid multiplexing and digitization of the assay.
