A well-designed emergency medical services (EMS) system is essential to provide the best possible quality of care patients in emergencies. Exogenous effects, such as demographic change or extreme weather conditions, lead a continuous increase calls. On other hand, vehicles and qualified personnel are limited. Consequently, there need improve existing EMS systems order optimize use available resources. To assist decision makers this complex task, we support framework at tactical site planning...
Background: A high prevalence of poor job satisfaction and chronic stress is documented for general practitioners (GPs) non-physician practice staff from various countries. The reasons are multifactorial include deficits in leadership, communication workflows. This publicly funded study evaluates the effectiveness newly developed participatory, interdisciplinary, multimodal IMPROVEjob intervention on improving among GPs personnel. Here, we report baseline characteristics participating...
Abstract Background Perceived high chronic stress is twice as prevalent among German general practitioners (GPs) and non-physician medical staff compared to the population. The reasons are multi-factorial include patient, practice, healthcare system societal factors, such multi-morbidity, diversity of populations innovations in care. Also, practice-related like stressful patient-staff interactions, poor process management waiting times lack leadership, play a role. This publicly funded study...
Background: Work-privacy conflict (WPC) has become an important issue for medical professionals. The cluster-randomized controlled IMPROVEjob study aimed at improving job satisfaction (primary outcome), with additional outcomes such as examining the work-privacy in German general practice personnel. Using baseline data of this study, relationship between and (JS) was analyzed. In addition, factors associated higher WPC were identified. Methods: At baseline, 366 participants (general...
Micro- and small-sized enterprises (MSE), small- medium-sized (SME) in Germany are often burdened with high levels of psychosocial stressors at work. The IMPROVEjob intervention was originally developed for general practice teams, aims to promote job satisfaction reduce the context workplace health management (WHM). This qualitative study identified challenges transfer options regarding other MSE/SME settings. Based on previous results, a comprehensive, inter- transdisciplinary approach...
In order to allocate limited resources in emergency medical services (EMS) networks, mathematical models are used select sites and their capacities. Many existing standard based on simplifying assumptions, including site independency a similar system-wide busyness of ambulances. practice, when is busy, call forwarded another site. Thus, the each depends not only rate calls surrounding area, but also interactions with other facilities. If demand varies across urban assuming an average server...
Abstract Leadership has become an increasingly important issue in medicine as leadership skills, job satisfaction and patient outcomes correlate positively. Various training physician psychological well-being programmes have been developed internationally, yet no standard is established primary care. The IMPROVE program was to improve among German general practitioners practice personnel. Its acceptance effectiveness were evaluated. intervention a participatory, interdisciplinary multimodal...
(1) Background: Workflows are a daily challenge in general practices. The desired smooth work processes and patient flows not easy to achieve. This study uses an operational research approach illustrate the effects of arrival consultation times on waiting times. (2) Methods: Stochastic simulations were used model complex workflows practice. Following classical queuing models, arrivals, discipline, physician three key factors influencing processes. (3) Results: In first scenario, with...
Objectives Strong primary care leaders are needed to assure high quality services for patient populations. This study analysed general practitioners’ (GP) leadership skills comparing practice-level self and staff assessments based on the full range of model leader-member exchange (LMX). Setting The questionnaire survey was conducted among German practice their participating in IMPROVE job trial. Participants population comprised 60 practices with 366 participants: 84 GP 282 employees (28...
