The World Health Organization's 2008 report asserted that the focus on primary healthcare (PHC) within health systems should increase, with four sets of reforms required. WHO's PHC advocacy is well founded, yet its a policy document fails to address adoption and implementation questions WHO member countries. This paper examines prospects for agenda in 12 high-income from Asia, Australasia, Europe North America, comparing performances against agenda.A specialist each sketched activities areas...
Collaboration among researchers and research users, or integrated knowledge translation (IKT), enhances the relevance uptake of evidence into policy practice. However, it is not widely practiced and, even when well-resourced, desired impacts may be achieved. Given that large-scale investment norm, further needed to identify how IKT can optimized.Interviews were conducted with users (clinicians, managers) in a health care delivery (HCDO) monitoring (HCMO) organization differed size...
Qualitative research has the potential to inform and improve health care decisions but a study based on one year of publications suggests that it is not published in prominent journals. A more detailed, longitudinal analysis its availability needed. The purpose this was identify, count compare number qualitative non-qualitative studies high impact journals, explore trends these data over last decade.A bibliometric approach used identify quantify articles 20 top general medical services...
Background: Internet survey modalities often compare unfavorably with traditional modalities, particularly respect to response rates.Response surveys can be affected by the distribution options and response/collection features employed as well existence of automated (out-of-office) replies, forwarding, server rejection, organizational or personal spam filters.However, also provide unparalleled opportunities track study subjects examine many factors influencing determination rates.Tracking...

Purpose – Evidence suggests that healthcare system performance may be improved with policy emphasis on primary care, quality improvement, and information technology. The authors therefore sought to investigate the extent which makers in seven countries are emphasizing these areas. Design/methodology/approach Policies three areas high-income were compared. A comparative descriptive approach was taken each of country-specialist supplied key policies developments pertaining improvement...
With massive investment in health-related research, above and beyond investments the management delivery of healthcare public health services, there has been increasing focus on impact research to explore explain consequences these inform strategic planning. Relevance is reflected by increased attention usability with funders increasingly engaging relevance assessment as an input decision processes. Yet, it unclear whether a synonym for or predictor impact, necessary condition stage...
In 25% to 35% of patients with early stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), surgery is not feasible, and external-beam radiation becomes their standard treatment. Conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT) the traditional treatment standard; however, stereotactic body (SBRT) increasingly being adopted as an alternate Our objective was conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis, comparing SBRT CFRT for NSCLC in public payer system.Consecutive were reviewed using 2010 Canadian dollars...
Abstract Background This paper focuses on measuring the efficiency and effectiveness of two diagramming methods employed in key informant interviews with clinicians health care administrators. The are 'participatory diagramming', where respondent creates a diagram that assists their communication answers, 'graphic elicitation', researcher-prepared is used to stimulate data collection. Methods These were applied value efficiently effectively gathering was assessed based quantitative measures...
Objective: To examine variation in patients' access to a set of cancer drugs through publicly funded provincial drug programs.Data Sources/Study Design: We surveyed program managers about their highest-expenditure intravenous and oral drugs.We then investigated whether the same account for highest expenditures across programs.We also compared rates at which these are accessed programs.
Growing interest in public involvement health research has led to organisational and policy change. Additionally, an emerging body of policy-oriented scholarship begun identify the network arrangements that shape activity. Such developments suggest need clearly conceptualise characterise terms governance. We drew on established system framework analyse governance functions related involvement, adapting scoping review methods evidence from a corpus journal papers reports. logics aggregation...
