▼ Competitive Memory Training (COMET) Many patients in mental healthcare suffer from low self- esteem. Low self-esteem can increase the severity of a mental disorder and can prevent the patient from recovery. To increase the patient’s self-esteem a therapy, called Competitive Memory Training (COMET), was developed. COMET is used as a therapy in PsyQ, a Dutch mental healthcare institute, for the treatment of anxiety disorders, depressions, personality disorders and eating disorders. COMET aims at increasing the patient’s self-esteem by restoring the balance between the retrieval of positive and negative autobiographical memories. People who suffer from low self-esteem often have a negative memory bias. For those people, negative memories are better accessible than positive memories. Training the patients to retrieve positive memories more easily helps them to increase their self-image. This increases the likelihood for recovery. Panic disorder The target group of this project was people who suffer from panic disorder. Panic disorder patients experience panic attacks, most of the times in crowded places like supermarkets and public transport. During a panic attack, that lasts for some minutes, the patient experiences an extreme fear for physical and mental injuries, for example fear of dying or ‘going mad’. After experiencing the first panic attack the patient develops a fear of getting another attack, which results in panic disorder. Panic disorder has a considerable influence on the daily life of patients. If patients no longer feel confident with leaving the house, social activities and going to work become hard to undertake or even impossible. The patients develop avoidance behavior for situations where it is hard to escape from, for example public transport or supermarkets. This limits them in daily activities and this may results in feelings of isolation. The potential origins of panic disorder are still discussed by the experts in the field of psychology. Potential causes relate to stress, genetics and early development. Because panic disorder patients often suffer from low self-esteem and because they are getting treated with COMET, they will benefit the most from a therapy-enhancing product that helps to increase their self-esteem. Obsessive-compulsive disorder Panic disorders have rather high comorbidity rates. People who suffer from panic disorder often suffer from another mental disorder as well, for example: obsessive- compulsive disorder or depression. Designing a portable product for panic disorder patients may create a risk for obsessive-compulsive behavior, because many patients search for a person or object to hold on to. For that reason this project focussed on a non-portable product that is used in the home environment. This decreases the likelihood the patient feels dependent on the product when leaving the house. Insomnia In addition to the panic attacks, many patients suffer from insomnia. Sleeping problems during the night may increase the severity of the disorder during the day.

▼ 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.

▼ In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the push for various organizational interventions aimed at improving the coordination of healthcare delivery services. Two examples of such interventions are care coordination teams (CCTs), which are used in hospitals to coordinate patient flow across care units; and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), which are used to coordinate care delivery across healthcare organizations. Despite the widespread adoption of, and continued push for these interventions, there is very little systematic and rigorous research investigating their impacts on operational performance, such that to date, how beneficial they are remains an open question. Research findings in this area have been inconclusive, and there is a lack of theory to explain or reconcile these inconclusive results. This dissertation, which consists of two essays, addresses these shortcomings. The first essay focuses on the value of CCTs to hospitals. Using theories of organizational coordination, we develop hypotheses describing the influence of CCT structure on the efficiency and effectiveness of patient flow processes, and how team-patient coordination causally mediates this direct effect. We test this hypothesis in a field study of CCTs using quasi-experimental methods. The second essay focuses on the recent emergence of ACOs as an organizational form that can promote care coordination across healthcare organizations. Drawing on the contingency theory of organization, we propose and test the hypothesis that input uncertainty, knowledge insufficiency, and prevalence influence hospitals’ decision to participate in ACOs, as well as its effect on cost and quality performance. The theoretical contribution of this dissertation focuses on clarifying how these organizational interventions work to affect performance. The practical contribution focuses on identifying specific elements of the intervention that are most beneficial to hospitals, and conditions under which these interventions work best.

▼ 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.

▼ 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, Stockham, Edward.

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ 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…

▼ The aim of the present doctoral thesis is the health provision to immigrants living in Greece with or without their civil rights. Using a socio-psychological perspective of thematic content analysis, discursive and rhetorical psychology, this thesis explores the social representations of physicians working in different work contexts for a series of issues that have to do with the health system, within which health provision takes place as well as the ways physicians perceive health provision towards immigrant patients. Since health provision does not take place in a void, rather within a system that is influenced by certain notions and philosophies of health that take form within certain organizational and social structures, the present doctoral thesis focuses on the exploration of the views of physicians regarding the notion of health and its provision within the health system, as well as the exploration of the ways physicians perceive immigrant patients and their health provision. The way this thesis is structured as well as the configuration and the contents of the chapters that follow, aim to feature this triple research goal, by dividing the thesis in three parts. The first theoretical part (chapters 1, 2, 3) are dedicated to the context of health provision. Starting from the different philosophies that influence the health system, the first chapter focuses on two completely opposite theoretical views of health: the bio-medical health model and the holistic health model. A short historical retrospect follows in the second chapter where the main forms of the health system in Greece are presented from its first formation until today. The third chapter focuses on immigrants and the need of health provision within the current socioeconomic context. Using demographic data from European countries as well as Greece, the first bibliographical review of research on health towards immigrants is conducted, in order to highlight the reasons that dictate the need for research in this field. The second part of the thesis (chapters 4 and 5) focuses solely on the current thesis and the way that it was conducted, presenting its theoretical and methodological context. Social representations theory is the theoretical context of this thesis. This theory focuses on the historic, social and ideological context of health provision, elements that exist within the approach of this thesis and have been applied for researching issues of health in international studies that created research questions for xv further exploration. Within the context of this approach a short review of studies regarding social representations of health, health systems and immigrants as patients is attempted. Chapter 5 addresses the aims of this research as well as the theoretical and analytical methodology of the data (principles of thematic content analysis, discursive and rhetorical psychology). The data of the thesis derived from 40 interviews of physicians who work in the public health sector, the private health sector, non governmental organizations…

▼ This dissertation investigates how health risks have historically affected the design of communications media in the United States. Concentrating upon the telephone from 1888 through 1913, and the cell phone from 1970 through 2003, I explore how these media intersected with three epidemic risks: tuberculosis in the early 1900s, coronary heart disease in the 1970s, and electrosensitivity from the 1990s through 2003. At these junctures, I examine three social groups – physicians, industrial designers, and everyday users – who attempted to influence the design of phones and determine if institutions or individual citizens would primarily prevent these health risks. This dissertation suggests that due to their socioeconomic status and professional expertise, physicians and designers were most effective in altering telephones and cell phones. They subsequently framed the prevention of health risks as the responsibility of individual users. This dissertation argues that such design decisions were shaped by strong social prejudices, specifically a desire to limit communications media use among poor and ethnic minorities in the U.S., a desire to reinforce the health of wealthy white users, and a desire to centralize authority over the identification and treatment of disease, as well as the process of design. However, the individualization of responsibility pursued by physicians and industrial designers may have produced an unintended effect, helping to generate considerable fragmentation at the intersections where communications media, design, and health risks meet. This dissertation plumbs the ramifications of physicians’ and designers’ work by surveying a community of everyday media users who challenge medico-technological authority, articulating undiagnosed health risks and designing unsanctioned forms of prevention.
