Developing quality improvement awareness, skills, and emerging leadership behaviors through clinical audits in postgraduate medical education
BACKGROUND: Quality improvement (QI) is a crucial competency for medical residents navigating the complexities of modern healthcare systems. This study explores the impact of experiential learning, through clinical audits, on residents' QI awareness, QI skills and emerging QI leadership behaviors within their clinical learning environment. METHODS: A retrospective multiple embedded case study was conducted within two departments of a University M…
Back to square one? Exploring boundary work by purchasers of health and social care
This multiple case study investigates how purchasers of health and social care (re)configure boundaries between sectors to incorporate a novel care model. Purchasers’ boundary work unfolded through (1) downplaying and expanding to assume joint responsibility and devise workarounds, (2) coalescing by sustaining workarounds and devising an experimental payment modality, and (3) limiting and reinforcing through instrumentalizing evidence and off-loa…
Barriers and Facilitators of Cardiac Rehabilitation in a Middle-Income Country
More awareness regarding the effectiveness of CR is needed. Implementing CR in secondary and primary health institutions could overcome the barriers regarding travel distance and transportation to faraway hospitals. The CR reimbursement methods are needed to ease the financial burden on patients. Our findings reveal factors that need to be considered by policymakers to deliver CR on a wider scale in China
Working around
Professionals are expected to justify their actions to clients, disciplinary committees and courts in multiple accountability systems. Although developed to reflect professional standards, is it possible that these systems induce proactive behaviours that counteract their goals and instead serve to protect the professional? This article examines the types of stimuli professionals acquire from the public and professional accountability contexts an…
Value-Based Healthcare From the Perspective of the Healthcare Professional
Introduction: Healthcare systems increasingly move toward “value-based healthcare” (VBHC), aiming to further improve quality and performance of care as well as the sustainable use of resources. Evidence about healthcare professionals' contributions to VBHC, experienced job demands and resources as well as employee well-being in VBHC is scattered. This systematic review synthesizes this evidence by exploring how VBHC relates to the healthcare prof…
The effect of network-level payment models on care network performance
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)The IJIC 20th Anniversary Issue was published in 2021
The Effect of Network-Level Payment Models on Care Network Performance
Introduction: Traditional payment models reward volume rather than value. Moving away from reimbursing separate providers to network-level reimbursement is assumed to support structural changes in health care organizations that are necessary to improve patient care. This scoping review evaluates the performance of care networks that have adopted network-level payment models. Methods: A scoping review of the empirical literature was conducted acco…
Integrated Payment, Fragmented Realities? A Discourse Analysis of Integrated Payment in the Netherlands
The current models used for paying for health and social care are considered a major barrier to integrated care. Despite the implementation of integrated payment schemes proving difficult, such initiatives are still widely pursued. In the Netherlands, this development has led to a payment architecture combining traditional and integrated payment models. To gain insight into the justification for and future viability of integrated payment, this pa…
Which Attributes of Credibility Matter for Quality Improvement Projects in Hospital Care—A Multiple Case Study among Hospitalists in Training
Healthcare professionals have to give substance to the role of a champion in order to successfully lead quality improvement (QI) initiatives. This study aims to unravel how hospitalists in training shape their role as a champion within the context of QI projects in hospital care and why some are more effective in leading a QI project than others. We focus on the role of credibility, as it is a prerequisite for fulfilling the role of champion. Thi…
Reorganizing the Multidisciplinary Team Meetings in a Tertiary Centre for Gastro-Intestinal Oncology Adds Value to the Internal and Regional Care Pathways. A Mixed Method Evaluation
Throughput times are only partly determined by oncology care pathway management, but have influence on the functioning of MDTMs. Process indicator information can help to reflect on integration of care in the region, resulting in an increase of patients treated within the Dutch standard
Compensating citizens for poor service delivery
After a service failure, citizens expect a recovery strategy that restores perceived justice and places a reasonable value on their loss. Offering monetary compensation is a strategy commonly used in private settings, but less so in public settings. To date, compensation effects have not been researched in public settings. To investigate citizens’ evaluations of perceived justice, negative emotions and post‐recovery satisfaction we used a 2 (sect…
