▼ Despite being in a state of war with Syria since 1967, Israel has provided immediate
healthcare to Syrian children, civilians and fighters since early 2013. This research was conducted to understand how Israel and Syria’s geopolitical and social history influences
healthcare providers and Syrian patients in hospitals in northern Israel. Using a dialectic mixed-methods approach, I elaborate on the beliefs and experiences of
healthcare providers who treated wounded Syrians in Israeli hospitals. Specifically, this study examined how
healthcare providers balanced their medical ethical obligation to treat wounded Syrians with their personal beliefs regarding Syrians as a whole, considering the two countries’ contentious history. Merging quantitative and qualitative data and applying a meta-framework of infrahumanization and cognitive dissonance, findings illuminate
healthcare providers’ experiences treating Syrian patients (Festinger, 1957; Haslam & Loughnan, 2014; Leyens et al., 2001). Participants experienced minimal, yet nuanced, dissonance in their patient caregiver-provider relationship regardless of their ethnic, religious, and occupational background. Most participants expressed how they reduced dissonance and recognized human qualities of each other during the caregiving/care-receiving process. In a globalized society, where forced migration is a stigmatized phenomenon, human interaction and humanitarian involvement is often tainted by political rhetoric. The aim of this research is to represent a politically-charged case in which medico-humanitarianism was aided by human relationships and principles of basic
healthcare. This research represents unique ethical and humanitarian demands relevant for
healthcare workers and those with whom they interact.

▼ This dissertation examines the influence of Medicare's
reimbursement structure on the observed behavior of
healthcare
providers. Specifically, it studies how hospitals respond to
Medicare's disjointed payment system that reimburses hospitals
separately for inpatient and outpatient departments and if
hospitals exhibit a behavioral response within Medicare's inpatient
prospective payment system. The findings document hospitals
responding along both dimensions and highlight the importance of
understanding how payment incentives influence hospital behavior.
Supplementing this is an analysis of the use of siblings and twins
to account for family invariant unobserved characteristics in a
fixed effects model. Using the correlated random effects model, the
empirical results cast doubt on the suitability of siblings and
twins in this context, but shed light on the usefulness of the
model.

▼ 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. Because of the…

▼ 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.

▼ Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, It has been questioned whether the right to
healthcare in it can be ethically justified. The objection to a right to
healthcare in general has been prominent over many decades in the U.S. The concern over higher personal taxes, quality care, and national debt steered the opposition. Responding to these concerns has a direct effect on each individual in society. In particular, the lack of
healthcare is very significant.
The idea of a comprehensive national
healthcare in the United States caught the attention of the public in the 1970s. It was inspired by the positive results of the Medicare and Medicaid programs which were passed and signed into law in the 1960s. The public would see the benefit of access to
healthcare, which led to acquiring the expansion of it. Most people were wiling to accept and agree on providing free
healthcare to the elderly and the poor. There was, however, a strong opposition to a system of a national
healthcare. The opposition did not dishearten proponents to advocate for the right to
healthcare in subsequent decades. After a vigorous congressional debate, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed and signed into law in 2010. This dissertation engages the four standard ethical principles (known as principlism) to justify the right to
healthcare that is provided in the Affordable Care Act. In addition, theories of distributive justice and normal functioning are used to argue and justify the provision of Affordable Care Act.

▼ 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.

The Ethical Right to Healthcare in the Affordable Care Act.

▼ Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, It has been questioned whether the right to
healthcare in it can be ethically justified. The objection to a right to
healthcare in general has been prominent over many decades in the U.S. The concern over higher personal taxes, quality care, and national debt steered the opposition. Responding to these concerns has a direct effect on each individual in society. In particular, the lack of
healthcare is very significant.
The idea of a comprehensive national
healthcare in the United States caught the attention of the public in the 1970s. It was inspired by the positive results of the Medicare and Medicaid programs which were passed and signed into law in the 1960s. The public would see the benefit of access to
healthcare, which led to acquiring the expansion of it. Most people were wiling to accept and agree on providing free
healthcare to the elderly and the poor. There was, however, a strong opposition to a system of a national
healthcare. The opposition did not dishearten proponents to advocate for the right to
healthcare in subsequent decades. After a vigorous congressional debate, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed and signed into law in 2010. This dissertation engages the four standard ethical principles (known as principlism) to justify the right to
healthcare that is provided in the Affordable Care Act. In addition, theories of distributive justice and normal functioning are used to argue and justify the provision of Affordable Care Act.

▼ This paper examines the issue of
healthcare spending in the United States and analyzes different
healthcare systems and cost-control measures present in other states and countries. Health care costs are and will continue to be a national priority in the United States and worldwide. The first chapter of the paper will examine the problem of rising
healthcare costs in the US and the pro and cons of several cost-control measures in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The focus of the second chapter is the Massachusetts health care reform law. It includes background on the law, outcomes, and comparisons to the ACA. Finally, the third chapter provides an overview of the
healthcare systems in the United Kingdom and Germany. The analysis shows some cost-saving benefits for these methods, but also shortcomings.

▼ In recent years, healthcare organisations have begun to invest in RFID-based systems to control costs and improve efficiency and quality of care. The purpose of this research is to study the influences of technological, organisational and environmental variables on the adoption of RFID in terms of the transformation of healthcare processes, based on the diffusion of innovation theory and the technology-organisation-environment framework. For the purpose of this analysis, 131 cases (including 61 RFID-based applications) from four consulting and solution vendors including RFID Journal, SAP, Oracle and Cerner, have been classified into three categories, namely, asset management, patient management and staff management. A multi-method approach to explore the research questions guiding this study has been adopted. Our findings indicate that RFID capabilities positively affect the adoption of RFID in healthcare settings, whilst the environmental and
organisational contexts have significant impacts as well. This research contributes to a growing body of study related to the impact of RFID in the healthcare sector and the enabling role of RFID in enhancing process performance.

▼ In the last decade modern information technology systems have been introduced to healthcare in order to improve it. The aim of this study is to present the impact of such information system’s adoption on patient safety and efficiency within healthcare. Interviews, observations along with literature study were conducted in order to study the impact of the adoption on patient safety and efficiency at hospital’s wards where a new information system is implemented. The conclusion of this study is that such information technology systems can improve patient safety. However it is believed that the information technology system can improve efficiency in some aspects such as the communication among medical care personnel while other aspects within efficiency can be achieved if some improvements are made. Moreover the ability to access Electronic Healthcare Records is considered to be important to improve the medical care, which can increase patient safety.

▼ The stigma and discrimination related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been obstacles against the achievement of the global health priority targets by negatively impacting adherence to, and uptake of services. As an effort to improve the practice and service in HIV and related areas, this project sought to develop an evidence-informed guideline to reduce HIV-related stigma and discrimination.
Aims: The overall aim of this project was to develop an evidence-informed guideline to reduce HIV-related stigma and discrimination among
healthcare workers in the Ethiopian context.
Method
First, I conducted a systematic literature search for guidelines and systematic reviews, followed by systematic review of primary studies. After appraising the evidence found through the literature search, a content analysis of the included units of evidences was carried out to generate a list of working recommendations. Summaries of Findings tables were produced using software package developed by the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) working group. The feasibility and appropriateness of the recommendations were then assessed using the Guideline Implementability Appraisal (GLIA v.2) checklist. Consensus was established through two rounds of a Delphi panel survey and two consensus meetings. The recommendations were also evaluated by external reviewers. In the final phase of this project, barriers and facilitators to the implementation of the guideline were assessed through key informant interviews with health professionals and health managers.
Results
Through the systematic literature search for guidelines, best practices, tools and systematic reviews I included 12 records (six guideline-related tools, and six systematic reviews). Since adequate conclusive evidence could not be drawn from these resources,a systematic review of quantitative evidence was undertaken. Initially, 31 recommendations and good practice points were extracted and drafted from the content analysis of the documents included. The recommendations were evaluated using a Delphi panel and external experts. Based on these evaluations, 12 recommendations and three good practice points were retained in the final draft. To contextualize the recommendations, barriers and facilitators were further explored using key informant interviews. The key informants suggested that the guideline should be introduced through training, workshops, hard copies, multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting of experts working on care and treatment of clients living with HIV and HIV mentorship program and through one-to-five networks in
healthcare facilities. It was also suggested that the indicators should be integrated into local hospital key performance indicators (KPI). The importance of identifying and establishing the implementation structure, implementation team and a focal person responsible for overseeing the implementation of the guideline was stressed. Key informants specifically reported that the guideline would help to achieve not only…

▼ peer-reviewed
Developing new services is a commonplace responsibility for music therapists worldwide. Starting a job often entails being the first music therapist in a facility, and even the first music therapist many staff and clients will ever have met. To date, little research and reflection is available about the challenges that arise when music therapy is introduced in an established healthcare team. This study was therefore founded with three main aims: 1) to learn more about music therapists’ experiences of developing new services in healthcare organizations, 2) to uncover some effective strategies for introducing and establishing new music therapy services, and 3) to further explore the contribution of qualitative research approaches to understand facets of music therapy service development. Narrative inquiry, arts-based research, and ethnographic fieldwork were employed to reflect on the experiences of twelve experienced music therapists from Australia, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Findings from this novel combination of methods indicate that the processes of music therapy service development are complex. Music therapy respondents conveyed strong feelings of isolation, insecurity, and uncertainty in relation to their service development experiences, but also showed passion and commitment to their development work. Their experiences also indicated that service development may take time and can be influenced by a range of contextual factors. Additionally, music therapists enter a series of complicated interprofessional interactions and negotiations when they introduce music therapy to an established healthcare team. Respondents recounted challenges similar to those that others have documented in developing new healthcare professions, such as role ambiguity and resistance from other workers. The lens of management and organizational theory was found to be useful in reflecting on some facets of these experiences. The outcomes are applicable for music therapy students, clinicians, and university educators, in furthering our understanding of music therapy service development. Further interdisciplinary research and dialogue will lead to greater knowledge about relatively hidden issues in music therapy professional life.

▼ 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…

The economics of telemedicine for managing chronic

▼ 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…

▼ This research project addresses the current barriers to health care from the perspective of the transgender population in the Sacramento area. This study involves a sample of 34 transgender participants, eighteen years of age or older, who were surveyed about their experiences when utilizing health care services. These participants were members of four separate transgender support groups in the greater Sacramento area. Transgender people face a number of barriers to accessing adequate health care. This study revealed some key issues calling immediate action on the part of medical and mental health providers as well as the social work profession. FTM were found to have significant amounts of barriers to access of culturally competent health care than the MTF population. This study also found that partial gender presentation participants had significantly less barriers to health care than the full-time identified participants. There is a need for further research to learn more about the experiences of transgender persons.

▼ Open access to health data can bring enormous social and economical benefits. However, such access can also lead to privacy breaches, which may result in discrimination in insurance and employment markets. Privacy is a subjective and contextual concept, thus it should be interpreted from both systemic and information perspectives to clearly understand potential breaches and consequences. This dissertation investigates three popular use cases of
healthcare data: specifically, 1) synthetic data publication, 2) aggregate data utilization, and 3) privacy-aware API implementation. For each case, we develop statistical models that improve the privacy-utility Pareto frontier by leveraging a variety of machine learning techniques such as information theoretic privacy measures, Bayesian graphical models, non-parametric modeling, and low-rank factorization techniques. It shows that much utility can be extracted from health records while maintaining strong privacy guarantees and protection of sensitive health information.

▼ Healthcare is the most breached industry in the United States. Health records are now fetching more money on the black market than credit card numbers. Threats to
Healthcare data security come from criminal hackers, hacktivists, state-sponsored hackers, malicious employees with perhaps the greatest threat coming from accidental or negligent disclosure by employees. Most information security related investments are driven by the need to meet Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements. Typically, these investments are characterized by heavy reliance on technology, outsourcing security activities, and risk transfer (Cyber Liability Policy). As a result of this compliance focused security spending, little headway is made in reducing the number of breaches in
healthcare. Two important weaknesses that will continue to inhibit progress in protecting health information are: the industry lacks a culture of security, and there is a lack of strong leadership among those tasked with overseeing information security.

▼ As hospitals became cleaner, they became colder, noisier, and less comforting. This led to the barrenness and stressfulness of today’s hospitals. This take on the MidCity community hospital is about the patient and about quality rather than pure efficiency. The project ranges from city scale interventions to architectural design.

▼ Smartphones are used by incredibly many people, and in 2011 there where a total of 491.4 million units soled worldwide. This makes it a relevant technique for performing dietary studies when the test patients are on the move. This thesis shows how to create a back end environment for an Android application with existing techniques linked together, using MSSQL database, Visual Studio Web Service, web pages and C# classes and ASP.NET security. The back end development is used in a dietary study on Gothenburg University, butcould be applied on many similar back end projects using databases and server development.Techniques used in this thesis are: REST (Representational State Transfer) -client implementation and development inside the Android application, using HTTP methods to set and get information from the server and database, and JSON-format to read and transferinformation in an easy and understandable way, both from the Android application and from the database. FileMaker is also used in this project as a third part programme tovisualise the information in the database.

▼ 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.

▼ Background:
The overall quality of care has been defined in terms of a set of seven core attributes taken from contemporary conceptual frameworks for assessing primary
healthcare systems. Attributes are assessed using sub-attribute questions picked from previously developed and validated national level survey instruments. Data has been collected through structured questionnaire survey utilizing Likert items and scale to capture respondents’ perceptions of care. Both descriptive and nonparametric statistical methods have been used for data analysis. Information on demographic factors helped to understand the response patterns across different cohort groups.
Key objectives:
1) To determine the perception of patients and physicians regarding the overall quality of care and its constituent elements delivered through the primary
healthcare clinics in Winnipeg.
2) To compare the perceptions about different quality of care attributes as expressed by participating patients and physicians.
Results:
Both patients and physicians have positive views about the overall quality of care (median score >=4 on a 1-6 scale). Regarding individual attributes, “Interpersonal communication” and “Respectfulness” received the highest average score (5) and long-term health management received the lowest score (2). Patient and physician responses were found to be statistically different for access, comprehensiveness and long-term health management. The long wait time for seeing a doctor appeared to be a widely shared concern – only 43% of the patients urgently needing to see a doctor could get a same-day appointment; for non-urgent cases, less than 3% got a same-day appointment. Patients with higher educational levels appeared to be more critical about the quality of care; conversely, patients in good health rated the quality of care attributes more favourably.
Conclusion:
Patients and physicians are generally satisfied with the overall quality of care. However, patients have identified issues related to access, comprehensiveness of care and long-term health management. Patients concerns were found to be consistent with national level results. Long wait time was also flagged as a key concern. Primary
healthcare clinics should proactively seek patient feedback to identify issues and improve their quality of service.

▼ 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.

▼ Deep learning recently has been showing superior performance in complex domains such as computer vision, audio processing and natural language processing compared to traditional statistical methods. Naturally, deep learning techniques, combined with large electronic health records (EHR) data generated from
healthcare organizations have potential to bring dramatic changes to the
healthcare industry. However, typical deep learning models can be seen as highly expressive blackboxes, making them difficult to be adopted in real-world
healthcare applications due to lack of interpretability. In order for deep learning methods to be readily adopted by real-world clinical practices, they must be interpretable without sacrificing their prediction accuracy. In this thesis, we propose interpretable and accurate deep learning methods for modeling EHR, specifically focusing on longitudinal EHR data. We will be- gin with a direct application of a well-known deep learning algorithm, recurrent neural networks (RNN), to capture the temporal nature of longitudinal EHR. Then, based on the initial approach we develop interpretable deep learning models by focusing on three aspects of computational
healthcare: efficient representation learning of medical concepts, code-level interpretation for sequence predictions, and leveraging domain knowledge into the model. Another important aspect that we will address in this thesis is developing a framework for effectively utilizing multiple data sources (e.g. diagnoses, medications, procedures), which can be extended in the future to incorporate wider data modalities such as lab values and clinical notes.

▼ Making decisions about how to allocate funds for health care is a common responsibility for governments in publicly funded health care systems. Resources are scarce so decisions need to be made as to how best to distribute them.
The work presented here was initiated as a result of a research project that was designed to develop a funding allocation methodology for
healthcare in Manitoba, Canada. The primary focus was to how to best meet the
healthcare needs of populations living in different regions, based on their health status. The principle of equity suggests that those with more need will require more
healthcare services and funding for those services. A method of allocating
healthcare funds most equitably is proposed for hospital care, home care, and nursing homes using administrative
healthcare data and other data on the health status of populations. The proposed “Manitoba approach to funding allocation” (described in the first paper) was developed specifically to address issues within the province, and may be generalized to other jurisdictions, but as is demonstrated in the second paper, there are many ways that others have looked at it. The third paper addresses a need to publish in the academic literature an approach to assigning
healthcare costs to administrative data.
Taken together, these papers provide readers with insights into, and tools for, making decisions regarding funding allocation for
healthcare.

▼ Background: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) made a tremendous impact on the nation’s nonelderly (ages 18-64) uninsured population. Despite the ACA provisions, they fell short of universal health insurance coverage; especially in states that chose not to expand Medicaid, like South Carolina. Those left uninsured are likely to experience great difficulty with the health care delivery system, especially in areas that have a high concentration of uninsured residents. Purpose: To assess the effect of psychological vulnerability, as measured by mentally unhealthy days, on access to
healthcare and
healthcare utilization among the long term uninsured in South Carolina. Methodology: Chi square, Spearman correlations, and regression analyses were run between mentally unhealthy days and questions relating to access to
healthcare and
healthcare services utilization. Results: Access questions that were found to have a statistically significant relationship to mentally unhealthy days: usual source of care, means of transportation to care, difficulty to receive care, amount of time taken to get to care, amount of time since last doctor’s visit, delay receiving care because of cost, and inability to get a necessary prescription. Utilization questions that were found to have a statistically significant relationship to mentally unhealthy days: time since last check-up, amount of time spent on
healthcare within the last year, hospitalized in last twelve months, and emergency room visit in last twelve months. Discussion/Conclusion: Results show an overall lesser degree of fit between the health care system in the hotspots and the individuals residing in the area. Ultimately, psychological vulnerability is a significant factor relating to access to
healthcare service, which subsequently translates into the adverse relationship between
healthcare service utilization and mentally unhealthy days. Based on these results, it is imperative that policy makers consider how policy will influence the community uninsurance rates and the resources that the community will have available for its members.

▼ The pressure on the healthcare sector is increasing all over the world. The amount of treatable diseases increases and the time spent with each patient decreases. As a reaction towards the way the healthcare works today, patient-centred healthcare has become increasingly popular. Bringing the patient into the centre also needs changes in the staffs’ way of working. One way of making these changes is by implementing Lean healthcare. This thesis uses a systematic review approach to find out what organisational changes have been made at hospitals where they have implemented Lean healthcare and how the implementations were done. The results showed that the most important thing was to engage the staff at an early point. Those hospitals that had representatives from all the different categories of the staff were the ones who managed to make the modifications with less effort and they also had an easier way of maintaining them. The most obvious similarities in the organisational changes the hospitals had made were that they clearly defined who were supposed to do what and that they changed the work into multi-disciplinary teams. By that the hospitals saved a lot of time both for the staff and for the patients. Lean thinking has similarities theories of cognitive science, like distributed cognition and safety barriers and it could get inspiration from these areas to enhance the implementations. There are few articles concerning the organisational changes that have been made at hospitals when implementing Lean healthcare. However the results of this thesis was that the most important thing when implementing Lean healthcare is to involve everyone at an early stage and the only way to get Lean healthcare to really work is by changing the attitude and making people realise that improvement is a never ending process. The changes that were most common among the hospitals were to clearly define and document who was supposed to do what and to change the structure to multi-disciplinary teams working together.
