Evaluating the Cost-Effectiveness of Chlorhexidine-Coated vs. Standard Peripheral Insertion Central Catheters in Patients with Hematologic Disease
one-way sensitivity analyses of cost-effectiveness versus WTP confirmed the robustness of the model across various parameter changes, indicating that AGBA PICCs could provide significant healthcare savings over a 1-year period when adopted in routine chemotherapy treatment for patients with hematologic disease
The people-centered care and inpatients’ perceived experience in China
People-centered care is positively associated with inpatients' perceived experience, and enhancing health equity through PCC attributes can further improve this experience. Further reform and practice should focus on the amelioration of continuity of care, promotion of information sharing between medical staff and patients, access and effectiveness of care, and respect for patients, all contributing to health equity
Exploring human resource management in the top five global hospitals
Background: The pivotal role of Human Resource Management (HRM) in hospital administration has been acknowledged in research, yet the examination of HRM practices in the world's premier hospitals has been scant. Objective: This study explored how the world's leading hospitals attain operational efficiency by optimizing human resource allocation and melding development strategies into their HRM frameworks. A comparative analysis of the HRM framewo…
Perceptions of Chinese hospital leaders on joint commission international accreditation
Background: Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation plays a significant role in improving the quality of care and patient safety worldwide. Hospital leadership is critical in making international accreditation happen with successful implementation. Little is known about how Chinese hospital leaders experienced and perceived the impact of JCI accreditation. This paper is the first study to explore the perceptions of hospital leaders tow…
Effects of a dementia dietary educational program on nutritional knowledge and healthy eating behavior of family caregivers
Family caregivers play a critical role in dietary care and the nutritional status of people with dementia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a family care-based dementia dietary educational program (DDEP) on family caregivers’ nutritional knowledge, healthy eating behavior and nutritional status of people with dementia. A total of 57 pairs of participants completed this longitudinal experimental study. Group A received routi…
Effectiveness of Pay-for-Performance Incentive Designs on Diabetes Care
BACKGROUND: Taiwan's National Health Insurance program implemented a pay-for-performance (P4P) program based on process measures in 2001. In late 2006, the P4P was revised to also include achievement of outcome measures. OBJECTIVES: This study examined whether a change in P4P incentive design structure affected diabetes outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOD: We used a longitudinal cohort study design using 2 population-based databases. Newly enrol…
Quality of life changes in patients undergoing treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma
Cost-Effectiveness of Diabetes Pay-for-Performance Incentive Designs
BACKGROUND: Taiwan's National Health Insurance (NHI) Program implemented a diabetes pay-for-performance program (P4P) based on process-of-care measures in 2001. In late 2006, that P4P program was revised to also include achievement of intermediate health outcomes. OBJECTIVES: This study examined to what extent these 2 P4P incentive designs have been cost-effective and what the difference in effect may have been. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOD: Analyz…
Socio-demographic and health-related factors associated with cognitive impairment in the elderly in Taiwan
Most of the characteristics in relation to cognitive impairment identified in our analysis are potentially modifiable. These results suggest that improving lifestyle behaviours such as regular exercise and increased social participation could help prevent or decrease the risk of cognitive impairment. Further investigations using longitudinal data are needed to clarify our findings
Responsiveness of the Harris Hip Score and the SF-36
Associations between socio-economic status measures and functional change among older people in Taiwan
The major purpose of this study was to examine the effects of socio-economic status (SES) on changes in functional abilities, as measured by Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scales, among older people in Taiwan. A prospective longitudinal study design was used. A panel of 874 community-dwelling older people were followed over four years (1994 to 1998). Three SES indicators, education, having ‘extra’ money (more than required for basic necessities…
