Finding Order In Complexity: A Typology Of Local Public Health Delivery Systems, Glen Mays
Glen Mays
Public health decision-makers and researchers currently lack an evidence-based framework for describing, classifying, and comparing public health delivery systems based on their organizational components, operational characteristics, and division of responsibility. Related typologies developed in the health services sector have proven extremely valuable for policy and administrative decision-making as well as for ongoing research. Performance assessment, quality improvement, and accreditation activities are now blossoming in public health—adding urgency to the need for classification and comparison frameworks. This brief describes a newly-developed empirical typology for local public health systems and highlights its policy and managerial applications.

Need For Performance Metrics In Hospital Emergency Management, Eliot J. Lazar, Nicholas V. Cagliuso, Kristine M. Gebbie
Need For Performance Metrics In Hospital Emergency Management, Eliot J. Lazar, Nicholas V. Cagliuso, Kristine M. Gebbie
Nicholas V. Cagliuso Sr., Ph.D.
An extraordinary number of health care quality and patient safety indicators have been developed for hospitals and other health care institutions; however, few meaningful indicators exist for comprehensive assessment of hospital emergency management. Although health care institutions have invested considerable resources in emergency management preparedness, the need for universally accepted, evidence-based performance metrics to measure these efforts remains largely unfulfilled. We suggest that this can be remediated through the application of traditional health care quality paradigms, coupled with novel analytic approaches to develop meaningful performance data in hospital emergency management.
