Are hospital management practices associated with enhanced quality of care for small and sick newborns? A nationwide cross-sectional study using linked inpatient admission records in Malawi
Background: Improved quality of care is fundamental for reducing patient mortality and building sustainable health systems. Currently, there is a lack of research on the role of hospital management in improving the quality of care and health outcomes, particularly in low-income settings. Methods: We examined associations between hospital management practices and neonatal quality of care in Malawi. We adapted the World Management Survey tool to me…
Racial disparities in acute care utilization among individuals with myasthenia gravis
Objective: In myasthenia gravis (MG), evidence on the impact of social determinants of health on disparities in disease burden and healthcare resource utilization is limited. This study aimed to investigate the independent association between race/ethnicity and acute care utilization during the 2 years post-diagnosis among patients with MG. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among adults (≥18 years) with newly diagnosed MG in the…
What is the relationship between hospital management practices and quality of care? A systematic review of the global evidence
There is a widely held view that good management improves organizational performance. However, hospitals are complex organizations, and the relationship between management practices and health service delivery is not straightforward. We conducted a global, systematic literature review of the quantitative evidence on the link between the adoption of management practices and quality of care in hospitals. We searched in PubMed, EMBASE, EconLit, Glob…
Extending seasonal malaria chemoprevention to five cycles
The additional cycle should begin early in the day in order to not coincide with the agricultural activities of community distributors. Continuous sensitisation at community level is critical for the sustainability of SMC and acceptance of an additional cycle, which should actively engage male caregivers. Providing additional support in proportion to the increased workload from a fifth cycle, including timely remuneration, is critical to avoid th…
Reconciling his history
Reconciliation has been a political concern since the early 1990s. However, on a national level, reconciliation between non-Indigenous and Indigenous Australians is yet to be realised. In more recent years, the process has moved from a national symbolic movement to a more localised level. This article analyses the processes and performances of reconciliation that have taken place in Cooktown since the early 1990s and have attracted national atten…
One-arm safety intervention study on community case management of chest indrawing pneumonia in children in Nigeria – a study protocol
Current recommendations within integrated community case management (iCCM) programmes advise community health workers (CHWs) to refer cases of chest indrawing pneumonia to health facilities for treatment, but many children die due to delays or non-compliance with referral advice. Recent revision of World Health Organization (WHO) pneumonia guidelines and integrated management of childhood illness chart booklet recommend oral amoxicillin for treat…
The Emergence of Conspirituality
The female-dominated New Age (with its positive focus on self) and the male-dominated realm of conspiracy theory (with its negative focus on global politics) may seem antithetical. There is a synthesis of the two, however, that we call ‘conspirituality’. We define, describe, and analyse this hybrid system of belief; it has been noticed before without receiving much scholarly attention. Conspirituality is a rapidly growing web movement expressing …
