The revised OECD Health Systems Performance Framework: methodological issues ...Sax Institute
The OECD is a leading organization in the international measurement of health system performance. The OECD Expert Group on Health Care Quality Indicators (HCQI) has recently revised its performance framework, identifying core indicators and highlighting new directions. Although improving, the capacity of countries to deliver more accurate standardized indicators still needs to be fostered. A particular aspect that deserves attention is the design, planning and implementation of public performance reporting. Such activity, strictly interrelated to the capacity of the information infrastructure, also depends from cultural, organizational and political conditions that can be differently present at the international level. The applicability of standardized principles and the evidence of improved outcomes due to public reporting systems is still questioned to a large extent. A first international conference on the topic of hospital performance reporting has been organized in Rome, Italy in 2014, followed by a second event held in Seoul, South Korea, in 2015. In his talk, Fabrizio Carinci will present recent developments of OECD projects, including:
• state of the art in the definition of OECD performance indicators
• challenges emerging from OECD R&D studies
• transferability and use of definitions at sub-national and provider level
• applicability for hospital performance benchmarking and geographical variation
• limitations imposed by the legislation on privacy and data protection
• an overarching vision of “essential levels of health information”
Through practical examples drawn from his direct experience as Member of the Bureau of the HCQI and other relevant Boards, Prof. Fabrizio Carinci will discuss the state of the art, the role played by national governments (including Australia), and potential avenues for mutual collaboration.

This presentation was given to the UK's Department for International Development on 30th July 2019.
Comprehensive reviews of health system strengthening interventions are rare, partly because of lack of clarity on definitions of the term but also the potentially huge scale of the evidence. In our talk, we will reflect on the process of undertaking such an evidence review for DFID recently (attached again), drawing out suggestions on definitions of HSS and approaches to assessment, as well as summarising some key conclusions from the current evidence base. Most HSS interventions have theories of change relating to specific system blocks, but more work is needed on capturing their spill-over effects and their contribution to meeting over-arching health system process goals. We will make some initial suggestions about such goals, to reflect the features that characterise a ‘strong health system’. We will highlight current findings on ‘what works’ but also that these are just indicative, given the limitations and biases in what has been studied and how, and argue that there is need to re-think evaluation methods for HSS beyond finite interventions and narrow outcomes. Clearer concepts, frameworks and methods can support more coherent HSS investment.

Pemilihan bahasa dipengaruhi oleh beberapa hal, salah satunya adalah urbanisasi. Sebagai contoh, jika seseorang pergi dari sebuah daerah yang masyarakatnya berbahasa Sunda ke daerah lain yang masyarakatnya mayoritas berbahasa Indonesia, maka demi menjaga kekomunikatifan dalam berkomunikasi, bahasa Indonesia merupakan pilihan terbaik guna menyesuaikan diri dalam bersosialisasi. Dalam sosiolinguistik, fenomena semacam ini masuk ke dalam ranah alih kode. Bagi mayoritas orang Indonesia yang memiliki kompetensi kedwibahasaan, hal seperti ini bukanlah perkara rumit. Akan tetapi, bagaimana halnya dengan bayi yang juga ikut orang tuanya berurbanisasi? Peristiwa inilah yang dialami oleh Febriansyah Hermawan yang akrab dipanggil Feby. Siswa SD kelahiran 2006 ini sekarang seolah sedang mengalami tragedi kebahasaan. Mengapa demikian?

The health status of Ghanaians has evolved over time, from predominant inflictions from infectious diseases and negative maternal and child health outcomes that prevailed at the time of independence in the late 1950s, to the addition of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, stroke, diabetes, cancers, etc. that prevail in present times.
Ghana: Governing for Quality Improvement in the Context of UHCHFG Project
Ghana’s National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) was established by an Act of Parliament in 2003 (Act 650) to provide financial risk protection against the cost of health care services for all residents of Ghana. In 2012, the law was revised to address some of the operational challenges in management of the scheme. The object of the Scheme is to attain universal health insurance coverage for residents and those visiting the country.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
