Republished research: Implementation research: what it is and how to do it
The field of implementation research is growing, but it is not well understood despite the need for better research to inform decisions about health policies, programmes, and practices. This article focuses on the context and factors affecting implementation, the key audiences for the research, implementation outcome variables that describe various aspects of how implementation occurs, and the study of implementation strategies that support the d…
Country progress towards the Millennium Development Goals
BACKGROUND: The health Millennium Development Goals (4, 5, 6) impose the same ambitious 2015 targets on every country. Few low-income countries are on track to reach them. Some authors have proposed country-specific targets as a more informative method by which countries can measure their progress against their potential. METHODS: This paper demonstrates a supplementary approach to assess individual country progress that complements the global go…
Exploring the effects of task shifting for HIV through a systems thinking lens
Our analysis highlights the importance of adopting a systems thinking approach in designing, implementing and evaluating health policies to mitigate some of the design issues or system bottle-necks that may impede their successful implementation or risk to present an incomplete or misleading picture of their impact
Evaluation of interventions on road traffic injuries in Peru
Our approach revealed substantial caveats in current RTI interventions in Peru, and fundamental negative effects on several components of the sectors and systems involved. It also highlighted programmatic issues that should be applied to guarantee an effective implementation and evaluation of these policies. The findings from this study were discussed with key stakeholders for consideration in further designing and planning RTI control interventi…
Evaluating health systems strengthening interventions in low-income and middle-income countries
In recent years, there have been several calls for rigorous health policy and systems research to inform efforts to strengthen health systems (HS) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including the use of systems thinking concepts in designing and evaluating HS strengthening interventions. The objectives of this paper are to assess recent evaluations of HS strengthening interventions to examine the extent to which they ask a broader set o…
Estrategias para aumentar el impacto de la investigación sobre recursos humanos para la salud en la elaboración de politicas
Despite global recognition of the importance of human resources for health (HRH) in achieving health system goals, very little is known about what works, for whom and under what circumstances, especially for low-income and middle-income countries. Several important events and reports have called for increased funding and capacity for HRH research in recent years and several initiatives have started as a result. Progress has been slow, however. Th…
Estrategias para aumentar el impacto de la investigación sobre recursos humanos para la salud en la elaboración de políticas
A pesar del reconocimiento mundial de la importancia de los recursos humanos para la salud (RHS) en el logro de objetivos de los sistemas de salud, muy poco se sabe sobre que intervenciones realmente funciona, para quién y en qué circunstancias, especialmente para los países de ingreso bajo y mediano. Varios eventos importantes e informes técnicos han pedido mayor financiación y capacidad para la investigación de los RHS en los últimos años y com…
Integrated Management of Childhood Illness
OBJECTIVE: The Integrated Management of Childhood Illness is a strategy designed to address major causes of child mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the strategy on the quality of child health care provided at primary facilities. METHODS: Child health quality of care and costs were compared in four states in Northeastern Brazil, in 2001. There were studied 48 health facilities considered to have had stable strategy imple…
The burden and costs of chronic diseases in low-income and middle-income countries
Determinants of variation in the cost of inpatient stays versus outpatient visits in hospitals
Evidence-based, cost-effective interventions
Improving quality and efficiency of facility-based child health care through Integrated Management of Childhood Illness in Tanzania
IMCI improved the quality and efficiency of child health care relative to routine child health care in the study districts. Previous study results indicated that the introduction of IMCI in these Tanzanian districts was associated with mortality levels that were 13% lower than in comparison districts. We can therefore conclude that IMCI is also more cost-effective than routine care for improving child health outcomes. The dissemination strategy f…
Out-of-pocket payments for under-five health care in rural southern Tanzania
Catastrophic payments and fairness in financial contributions for health care are becoming increasing concerns for many governments. Out-of-pocket financing for health care is common in many developing countries, including Tanzania. As part of the Multi-Country Evaluation of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (MCE-IMCI), the objective of this paper is to explore the determinants of variation and the level of out-of-pocket payments for…
Capacity constraints to the adoption of new interventions
Information on how health workers spend their time can help programme managers determine whether it is possible to add new services or activities to their schedules and at what cost. One set of interventions with the potential to reduce under-five mortality is training of facility-based health workers according to the guidelines for Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI), along with improvements to supervision, procurement and informat…
