Accounting for aid
Background: The United States government (USG) is a key global actor in preventing mortality and supporting lifesaving health services among women and children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Since the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, USG has funded global health programmes targeting specific conditions and strengthening health systems for the delivery of essential services via the United States Agency for International Development (U…
Does adherence to evidence-based practices during childbirth prevent perinatal mortality? A post-hoc analysis of 3,274 births in Uttar Pradesh, India
BACKGROUND: Evidence-based practices that reduce childbirth-related morbidity and mortality are core processes to quality of care. In the BetterBirth trial, a matched-pair, cluster-randomised controlled trial of a coaching-based implementation of the WHO Safe Childbirth Checklist (SCC) in Uttar Pradesh, India, we observed a significant increase in adherence to practices, but no reduction in perinatal mortality. METHODS: Within the BetterBirth tri…
Availability of Safe Childbirth Supplies in 284 Facilities in Uttar Pradesh, India
Objectives Vital to implementation of the World Health Organization (WHO) Safe Childbirth Checklist (SCC), designed to improve delivery of 28 essential birth practices (EBPs), is the availability of safe birth supplies: 22 EBPs on the SCC require one or more supplies. Mapping availability of these supplies can determine the scope of shortages and need for supply chain strengthening. Methods A cross-sectional survey on the availability of function…
Health Insurance Coverage and Health — What the Recent Evidence Tells Us
The authors report their analysis of the highest quality research over the past decade examining the effects of health insurance on health and conclude that insurance coverage increases access to care and improves health outcomes.

Hospital Board And Management Practices Are Strongly Related To Hospital Performance On Clinical Quality Metrics
National policies to improve health care quality have largely focused on clinical provider outcomes and, more recently, payment reform. Yet the association between hospital leadership and quality, although crucial to driving quality improvement, has not been explored in depth. We collected data from surveys of nationally representative groups of hospitals in the United States and England to examine the relationships among hospital boards, managem…
Beyond Volume
BACKGROUND: Hospitals show wide variation in outcomes and systems of care. It is unclear whether hospital complexity-the range of services and technologies provided-affects outcomes and in what direction. We sought to determine whether complexity was associated with inpatient surgical mortality. METHODS: Using national Medicare data, we identified all fee-for-service inpatients who underwent 1 of 5 common high-risk surgical procedures in 2008-200…
Temporal Variation in Surgical Mortality Within French Hospitals
BACKGROUND: Surgical mortality varies widely across hospitals, but the degree of temporal variation within individual hospitals remains unexplored and may reflect unsafe care. OBJECTIVES: To add a longitudinal dimension to large-scale profiling efforts for interpreting surgical mortality variations over time within individual hospitals. DESIGN: Longitudinal analysis of the French nationwide hospital database using statistical process control meth…
A Surgical Safety Checklist to Reduce Morbidity and Mortality in a Global Population
BACKGROUND: Surgery has become an integral part of global health care, with an estimated 234 million operations performed yearly. Surgical complications are common and often preventable. We hypothesized that a program to implement a 19-item surgical safety checklist designed to improve team communication and consistency of care would reduce complications and deaths associated with surgery. METHODS: Between October 2007 and September 2008, eight h…
