▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ 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 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…

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

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 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.

▼ BACKGROUND: In the United States, circumcision is the most common surgical procedure performed on male infants (Updegrove, 2001). The decision to circumcise is multifactorial; religious, cultural, and traditional factors as well as medical indications influence parents’ decisions. Recent research demonstrates male circumcision’s protective effect against a variety of health conditions. The AAP and the CDC emphasized that healthcare providers are responsible for fostering informed decision-making processes for neonatal male circumcision (Blank et al., 2012; Smith et al., 2010). Currently, providers’ role and level of influence in this process has been largely unexplored. METHODS: The study employed a cross-sectional observational design using an explanatory sequential two-phase mixed methods approach to study healthcare providers’ neonatal male circumcision practices, beliefs, and knowledge. This study design incorporated a modified version of the Theory of Planned Behavior as a theoretical framework. The sample included healthcare providers from the family medicine, obstetrics, and pediatrics department from a urban medical center. RESULTS: The results revealed that there is significant variation amongst the healthcare providers in this study regarding practices, beliefs, and knowledge. For the knowledge items, providers reported low levels for items related to the newer circumcision research. The results supported the utility of the Theory of Planned Behavior to explain the factors that influences providers’ communicative practices; however, the construct of knowledge did not provide any additional explanation within the model. The providers reported that they are significantly more likely to discuss this procedure than compared with recommending and tailoring circumcision discussions with parent(s)/guardian(s). Providers believe they deliver a universal message when discussing neonatal male circumcision. However, the interview data suggests that providers are tailoring these messages based on their patients’ characteristics. The providers explain that parents’ decision to circumcise stem predominantly from cultural and traditional factors; medical indications play a minimal in the decision making process. CONCLUSIONS: An educational intervention is needed to increase providers’ level of knowledge regarding neonatal male circumcision to ensure that providers are effectively communicating factual information to parent(s)/guardian(s). Providers and parent(s)/guardian(s) should discuss all the factors that influence this decision collectively to foster informed decision making.

▼ The sustainability of current healthcare systems is threatened by several societal and economic developments, including an aging population, an increase of unmet medical needs and rising healthcare costs. The consequence of these developments gave rise to new healthcare legislation. These new healthcare legislations force health care institutions to become financially responsible for the profits and risks of their real estate investment. In the Netherlands there are about 1,300 caring homes and some 340 nursing homes with a capacity of respectively 100,000 and 65,000 places. The standard elderly care institutions offer nursing care and residential care as well as homecare from various locations and also on location. These locations may either be owned by the health care institutions or be rented from housing associations or other private parties. A combination of owned and rented locations is also possible. Housing associations own more than 50,000 units of these caring homes. The nursing and caring capacity will diminish over the coming years, due to reform in the government policy that elderly people should live as long as possible independently, but also as a result of the growing need of this elderly people to live independently as long as possible. The vacancy risks for housing associations and health care institutions are increased due to a number of new healthcare legislations. First, of all from 2018 onwards, the health care institutions will bear the entire risk of vacancy. This is due to the gradual introduction of the so-called normative housing component (NHC). In contrast to the past, health care institutions will get fees which will be linked to the actual number of clients in the healthcare facility. No client, no fee. Because of this the health care institutions it is expected that they will have significantly lower incomes due to vacancy. Second, contrary to the former situation, the residential- and care component are now separately funded and financed. The client pays for his/her residence rent, whereas received care is separately paid for by the Health Insurance Act, Social Support Act (SSA), Exceptional Medical Expenses Act (EMEA) and possibly own resources. For caring homes (for example, caring homes with large common areas) the housing costs may be bring along higher costs than the rents of a room or apartment that the caring homes can ask. This makes renting these homes financially unprofitable. For health care institutions with elderly care real estate, it is important that both the services offered by them as well the real estate owned by them will be involved in decision making and is thus properly addressed in the underlying business model. This is important because in the past, caring homes were often an important source of the revenues, which was invested in the nursing homes. Health care institutions must also respond to the opportunities offered by the new playing field by better addressing the needs of their (future) clients. The aim of this research is to gain insight into how real… Advisors/Committee Members: Van Oel, C.J., Nase, I..
