One strategy to meet increasing consumer demand for healthcare services in the pandemic era has been reorganize workforce. This can be achieved by reorganizing teams, which are associated with improved workforce productivity and better patient outcomes. However, teams described using numerous terminologies labels, led conceptual confusion researchers research users. In this paper, we explore disparate nature of team terminology, ramifications confusion, propose standardized terminology...
Despite a clear causal link between frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and dental disease, little is known about the implications tax on SSBs in context oral health. The aim our study was to estimate impacts SSB Australian population health outcomes, care utilisation associated costs.We designed cohort model that accounted for consequences through mechanisms consumer response price increase, effect due change sugar intake, use.Our results indicate adult an ad valorem...
A wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) method is presented to estimate analgesic consumption and assess the burden of treated pain in Australian communities. Wastewater influent samples from 60 communities, representing ∼52% Australia's population, were analyzed quantify concentration analgesics used treat converted estimates amount drug consumed per day 1000 inhabitants using pharmacokinetics WBE data. Consumption was standardized defined daily dose people. The population treatment...
Introduction: Malnutrition is a widespread and intricate issue among hospitalized adults, necessitating wide variety of nutritional strategies to address its root causes repercussions. The primary objective this study systematically categorize interventions into simple or complex, based on their resource allocation, employed, predictors intervention complexity in the context adult malnutrition hospital settings. Methods: A conceptual evaluation 100 studies for was conducted data from recent...
Introduction: Data on home enteral nutrition (HEN) in long-term care facilities (LTCF) Singapore is scarce. This study aims to determine the prevalence and incidence of chewing/swallowing impairment HEN, manpower costs related. Methods: A validated cross-sectional survey was sent all 69 LTCFs May 2019. Local (S$) for feeds were used tabulate cost HEN. Results: Nine (13.0%) responded, with a combined 1879 beds 240 residents An rate (IR) 15.7 per 1000 people-years (PY) point (PP) 136.6...
Objectives For many people with advanced kidney disease, their physical, psychological and emotional needs remain unmet. Kidney supportive care, fully integrating specialist palliative care teams, responds to the symptom distress in this cohort who may be on a non-dialysis pathway or dialysis approaching end of life. We aimed analyse describe operation patient characteristics new programme (KSCp). Methods A multidisciplinary KSCp was introduced through tertiary hospital Brisbane, Australia....
Background: Malnutrition is a significant and prevalent issue in hospital settings, associated with increased morbidity mortality, longer stays, higher readmission rates, greater healthcare costs. Despite the potential impact of nutritional interventions on patient outcomes, there paucity research focusing their economic evaluation setting. This study aims to fill this gap by conducting cost–consequence analysis (CCA) targeting malnutrition Methods: We performed CCA using data from recent...
Hypoxaemia during anaesthesia for tubeless upper airway surgery in children with abnormal airways is common due to the complexity of balancing adequate depth maintenance spontaneous breathing and providing an uninterrupted field view surgeon. High-flow nasal oxygenation (HIGH-FLOW) can prolong safe apnoea time be used but date has not been compared alternative technique low-flow (LOW-FLOW). The aim investigate if use HIGH-FLOW reduce number hypoxaemic events requiring rescue LOW-FLOW....
One definition of research co-production is a collaboration between researchers and healthcare professionals throughout process to facilitate knowledge translation improve the clinical impact findings. In this paper, we present case study reflect on how was facilitated professionals. Type program or service: Development novel transdisciplinary assessment for implementation in an acute stroke unit (ASU).Researchers integrated perspectives co-produced assessment. Team-based activities were...
Conventional thinking conveniently conceptualises health and social care as self-contained areas, with their respective spheres of financing, provision research.Jon Glasby challenges this over simplification by demonstrating a continuum services that has problematic implications for inter-agency coordination distribution responsibility.
Kidney supportive care (KSC) is a patient-centered model of multidisciplinary designed for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage (ESKD). Our goal was to characterize the types, frequencies, costs services accessed by enrolled in KSC program. We analyzed health utilization data prospectively collected from 102 who program during first 52 weeks its existence. The comprised appointments, emergency department presentations, ambulance service use, outpatient visits,...
Introduction: Fear, lack of information, and lower health literacy are prominent barriers preventing people experiencing homelessness from accessing dental services. Most this population eligible for free treatment in Australia, yet few access care. This study evaluated 3 models facilitating to services homelessness. Methods: Three facilitated were developed implemented at 4 community organizations. In model 1, appointments booked on the spot after a screening by practitioners. Model 2 also...
Financial reimbursement (MediFund) of medical nutrition products (MNPs) was recently implemented in some the public hospitals Singapore for patients with financial difficulties. This study aimed to investigate sustainability this policy and benefits conferred.We performed a 1-year retrospective audit tertiary hospital who received MediFund. Demographics, presupport postsupport clinical outcomes, cost support were determined analyzed.A total 129 MediFund MNPs. The median length 115 days...
ABSTRACT This paper assesses the feasibility and welfare-improving potential of an insurance market for aged care expenses in Australia. As many other countries, demographic dynamics coupled with upward trend costs personal result consumer co-contributions imposing a risk that could constitute significant proportion lifetime savings, spite presence government-run scheme. We explore issues around development this particular setting, considering adverse selection, moral hazard, timing...
