Questions related to Health Management
I'm a Master's student in Healthcare Administration, my bachelor's degree was in Biochemistry and my working experience is laboratory technician, I have worked in many laboratories including research and clinical labs. I have a great passion for research, and I have published one paper in the Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease (JIMD). Now I'm preparing for my master's final research I have great interest in the health services cost containment topics, as a laboratory technician, I notice some overutilization of laboratory investigation and lack of communication between laboratory workers and physicians. I also have an interest in job satisfaction and the management associated factors that affect the workers' performance. I would appreciate it if you can provide me with some ideas and recommendations for my research topic even in other areas that are related to health care administration.
Thanks for your advices,

Hi all
I've lost the link to a paper that showed healthcare managers need repeated evidence of improvement program effectiveness, if they are to support the program.
Has anyone seen / read similar literature? I'd be very grateful for the link.
Many thanks

The aim of this research will be to develop a model that can report the health status of poultry birds and make intelligent predictions(Recommendation) for possible solution (cure/prevention).
It should always be noted in such projects that the preparation of the working medium is much more complex and expensive than in the "normal" EDM.
Also the production according to small powder diameter must be inserted into the cost calculation.
Furthermore, it must be noted that the systems, which must be worn and renewed with the medium (liquid / powder). The scientific investigation is the one side, the economic application the other.
this method can be fast, precise, specific snd senzitive. It can be simple and it must be done in home.
I am looking for the criteria used for the reimbursement for services (reimbursement of the costs of special activities that must be in place without economical criteria such as Emergency Unit and pre-transplant organ collection) in parallel with the reimbursement for activity (exams, visit, DRG).
I've seen you've already mentioned snoring students, and exams.
my best regards.
In the theories of Nicholas Humphrey*, it was stated that during most of the evolution of humans, 100,000-10,000 years ago life was 1) more dangerous and 2) society was more oppressive than nowadays.
1) His model suggests that the placebo-effect is possible, because during this dangerous period the saving of the metabolic resources by the health management system, slower but less expensive self-healing processes were adaptive. In safety modern societies, most of us have the resources to use the expensive and quick healing processes, but we need cues to apply them, 'the snake oil, the psychoanalysis, the orgone box, or whatever it is encourages us to do so'.
2) Analogously, conforming the societal norms was more important in our ancestors, but nowadays, in our less oppressive and developing modern society, if we receive the proper cues, we can afford more mental freedom and self-expression.
However, If we take a counter-hypothesis, and state that during the evolution of humans in the hunter-gatherer tribes, life was more safe and society was more supportive, than we arrive to the conclusions, that 1) in individuals of civilized societies, health management system switches to more ancient, slower but cheaper healing reactions, because it senses lack of support and good perspectives. This can be set back by social support or positive expectations - a possible explanation of the placebo-effect. 2) in individuals of civilized societies, self-management system switches to more ancient, self-oppressing, agressive or anxious behavior. This can be set back by cues, e.g. social support or self-esteem, leading to free self-expression and authenticity. Both highly demaning but quick healing reactions and authenticity were adaptive result of our evolution, but the more scarce resources and less support in civilization decreased them, and so we use most of the time more ancient strategies for self-management. These conclusions also fit to what we experience.
Now the question is, how can we compare the hunter-gatherer tribal and civilized lifestyle, regarding the amount of resources, safe-danger, and social support-oppression? What scientific results do we have no this topic?

Dear All,
I am conducting a study on assessing Health management issue in which I have to take data from Doctor, Pharmacist and also from Patient record. I have to use 3 different sets of questionnaire for data collection. This type of approach is usually used in Data or Method Triangulation Method.
I searched a lot but I didn't find how to calculate the sample size for triangulation studies. Do I need to calculate sample size for each group separately or can I assign some quota so that get equal number of responses from each cohort and can validate the finding?
From time to time, I meet cases of bilateral choanal adenoids causing mouth breathing, snoring +/- disturbed sleep according to severity. I found that both x-ray of postnasal space and flexible fibreoptic nasal scope can preoperatively diagnose this unusual type of adenoids. Surgical technique varies according to size & extension of this adenoid. If it is limited at choana but bulged intranasally, then I use an endonasal approach to remove it by depriding (preferable to me) or by suction diathermy (vallylab). If it is limited at choana but bulged into nasopharynx, then it can be removed through nasopharynx under mirror vision using suction diathermy (vallylab). If it is prominent intranasal & into nasopharynx, then combined approach can be used. I found that choanal adenoids is preoperatively misdiagnosed by geniors as classic nasopharyngeal adenoids hypertrophy if they depends on endoscope alone. Also, x-ray alone when revealed empty nasopharynx does not mean absent choanal adenoids in case of presence of symptoms (mouth breathing, snoring +/- disturbed sleep). Also, choanal adenoids is perioperatively misdiagnosed by geniors as inferior turbinate tail hypertrophy. So, to diagnose choanal adenoids, you would put it in your consideration & you would request x-ray with endoscopic examination. This is my own experience regarding choanal adenoids management. Would you add your experience?

Is it a safer option than just 'warehousing' patients in an ED? In comparison, what are some limitations?
When demands for urgent and emergent care continue to mount and no Emergency Department (ED) care spaces are available for these emergent and urgent patients and all usual actions for rapid admissions to inpatient beds have been maximized, the Over Capacity Protocol should be initiated. This protocol is intended to ensure systematic actions are undertaken to ensure admitted patients being cared for in the ED will be appropriately admitted to an inpatient unit. The protocol may be extended to other areas of the hospital, for example critical care, as required. (Fraser Health).
In Uganda, there is little policy regarding herbal medicine, and yet 65% of the population has a history of using of herbs at the hospital.
Many times when these herbs are used, they are not refined - no measure is used to calculate the actual dose. Remedies are usually prepared by individuals who might not have had formal education in that area.
As part of a 4 year RCT project being conducted in Ghana (West Africa) we sought to investigate three dimensions of healthcare quality care (client, health professional and technical perspectives) and how these are associated in the context of a national health insurance scheme (NHIS) which is barely 10 years old. Implications of the findings to health service utilization and (re)enrolment decisions into Ghana's NHIS are particularly explored. Ongoing analysis of our data reveals rather "puzzling" results which stimulated the idea to seek experiences and opinions of fellow researchers interested in the topic area. Sharing scientific findings on similar studies will prove beneficial to fine tune our thoughts on the topic.
We are interested in estimating blood volume in healthy individuals. Since 1962 the "standard" formula used to predict blood volume is that presented by Nadler (Surgery 1962;51:224-32). This formula, however, has been criticized as being inaccurate for current estimates since today's populations have far more adiposity. and fat tissue requires less vascularization. Thus , the argument is that for heavy, short people particularly their blood volumes are over estimated. This is important when trying to determine what the appropriate volumes should be for say donating blood or blood products. Has anyone seen new formulas or modifications to the Nadler formula to deal with this problem?
Thanks.
Health is the fundamental right of every citizen and it's very important that the government and international organisations provide basic healthcare whenever its needed.
Where I work we have allied health discipline advisors for physiotherapy, occupational therapy, dietetics, speech pathology and social work- these are strategic leadership and support roles. These roles are all newly established, and we are planning to take advantage of this by researching the impact of the advisor roles at 1 and 2 years post commencement.
I have looked at the literature and am unable to identify any research on advisor roles in any of the allied health disciplines. Is anyone aware of literature in this area?
Any suggestions would be a great help.
