Cost dynamics in Irish Health Care Society of Actuaries presentation Oct 2012Oliver O'Connor
The document discusses rising health care costs as a threat to economies and sustainability. It notes that while aging populations contribute somewhat to increased costs, other factors like new technologies and income growth are larger drivers. International data shows health spending as a percentage of GDP has risen significantly over 40 years. While most countries see continued increases projected, Ireland is estimated to have relatively low excess cost growth. The document advocates for policies like budget caps, more competition, and supply-side reforms to manage costs over the long run.

Contracting to deliver integrated care closer to patients: GPs as both provid...The King's Fund
The document discusses integrating care delivery through GPs acting as both providers and commissioners of services. It proposes that a mid-Surrey commissioning group take on a managed care contract to make or buy diagnostics, planned, and unplanned adult care for their registered population. This would make practices both clinically and financially responsible for delivering these services. The benefits would include funds to develop community-based services in real time under a capped risk model.

Here are some ways the different positions discussed could approach ECA topics:
- Positivist: Take a detached, objective view. Form hypotheses and test them empirically through controlled experiments. Aim to establish causal relationships or generalizable laws. Use quantitative methods.
- Interpretivist: Emphasize understanding meaning and experience from participants' perspectives. Consider social and cultural contexts. Use qualitative methods like interviews to explore diverse viewpoints.
- Critical realist: Acknowledge complexity and unseen influences like social structures. Study open systems with many factors. Use mixed methods to explore observable behaviors and underlying realities. Theories cannot be decisively proven or falsified.
- Postmodern: Question notions of objective truth and fixed

The document discusses challenges in teaching statistics to psychology students and proposes different approaches to address these challenges. It notes that statistics is difficult for psychology students to understand and different lecturers have their own preferred teaching styles. It also suggests that students learn in different ways and some textbook explanations are clearer than others. To optimize learning, it proposes matching a student's learning style with how the topic is taught. Finally, it recommends finding existing open educational resources on teaching statistics, classifying them by teaching approach, and having students self-assess which style best matches their learning through sampled materials.

The Canadian Medicare system is financed through taxes paid by individuals and corporations to provincial and federal governments. 75% of financing comes from public sector funds, while 25% is from private sector payments. Spending on healthcare in Canada is projected to reach $148 billion in 2006, accounting for 10.3% of GDP. The largest areas of spending are on hospitals, drugs, and physicians. Per capita spending varies across provinces and is generally higher in the territories. Most spending growth is on drugs, physicians and other professionals. Nearly two-thirds
This document discusses ICLEI's PACMUN initiative in Mexico to support local climate action planning among Mexican municipalities. The initiative started with 9 pilot municipalities in 2012 and grew to 76 municipalities by the end of 2012, with a goal of including 200 municipalities representing 64% of Mexico's population by 2013. The PACMUN municipalities report undertaking mitigation actions like improving transportation, waste management and land use, as well as adaptation actions like education programs, water resource management and urban infrastructure improvements. The document outlines next steps like expanding PACMUN's implementation, replicating it regionally, developing case studies, and highlighting PACMUN's role in Mexico's national climate actions and commitments under the UNFCCC.
GHIs operating in Mozambique include the Global Fund, PEPFAR, President's Malaria Initiative, and others focused on specific diseases. While GHIs have increased funding and scale-up of targeted health services, their vertical nature has stressed harmonization efforts and negatively impacted health workers. Overall, GHIs could have achieved better health outcomes by jointly strengthening the overall health system in a more coherent manner.
This document summarizes key findings from National Health Accounts conducted in Egypt between 1994-2009. It finds that private out-of-pocket spending remains the largest source of health financing. While total health spending has increased over time, government spending as a percentage of total health spending and of the overall government budget is among the lowest in the region. There are also inequities in spending between rich and poor and urban and rural populations. The document calls for increased public investment in health and reforms to address these inequities and increase the role of comprehensive insurance.

Additionally, it shows sector allocation data for the S&P/TSX Composite Index and S&P 500 index from 2007 to 2011.
The World Bank presented findings from its health sector assessment of the Philippines. It found that while total health spending has grown, it remains below comparable countries. Government health spending as a percentage of GDP is also lower than averages. High out-of-pocket costs lead to catastrophic spending for many. Health outcomes like infant mortality are improving but still lag behind income levels. The World Bank recommends implementing policies to: A) promote facility-based deliveries, B) reform PhilHealth benefits and expand coverage, and C) increase accountability and expand results-based financing to get more value from health spending.

Suitable housing is essential for personal well-being and quality of life at all stages of life. It enables access to services, social relationships, and independence. Housing associations play an important role in supporting health by providing suitable accommodation and programs that prevent falls, reduce isolation, and encourage healthy behaviors, especially for older residents and those with disabilities or long-term conditions. Through adaptations, supportive housing, and care services, they can help people maintain independence and avoid expensive acute health services.
District councils’ contribution to public healthThe King's Fund

Jos de Blok set up Buurtzorg – which means ‘neighbourhood care’ in Dutch – with a team of four nurses. Today there are nearly 8,000 Buurtzorg nurses in 630 independent teams, caring for 60,000 patients a year. Nurses in Sweden, Norway, Japan and the United States are adopting the Buurtzorg model.
While women currently make up 44% of registered doctors in the UK, they are underrepresented in medical leadership roles, with only 24% of trust medical directors being women. Although 55% of medical students are now women, indicating they will likely become the majority of the medical workforce in the next decade, women currently account for just 32% of consultants compared to 54% of trainee doctors. Research has identified barriers for women progressing into leadership, such as work-life balance, organizational cultures, and personal expectations.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
