From The Frontier: Translating Research To Practice…Qi As The Hinge Point, Paul C. Erwin
Frontiers in Public Health Services and Systems Research
This article is number three in the series From the Frontier: Translating Research to Practice. The narrative describes the work of a practice-academic network in Minnesota which explored the degree to which having a culture of quality at the local health department level influenced the capacity to implement a new statewide initiative. The network conducted a mixed-methods study of grantees funded to develop and implement local policy, systems, and environmental change strategies to promote nutrition, increase activity, and reduce tobacco use and exposure. The results of their study indicated that grantees with higher performance levels in Quality Improvement (QI) …

Addressing Health Inequalities In The United States: Key Data Trends And Policy Action, Sara N. Bleich, Marian P. Jarlenski, Caryn N. Bell, Thomas A. Laveist
Frontiers in Public Health Services and Systems Research
Health inequalities, which have been well documented for decades, have recently become policy targets in the United States. This report summarizes current patterns and trends in health inequalities, commitments to reduce health inequalities, and progress made to eliminate health inequalities. Time trend data indicate improvements in health status and major risk factors but increases in morbidity, with black and lower-education individuals experiencing a disproportionate burden of disease. A common policy response has been priority setting in the form of national objectives or goals to address health inequalities. More research and better methods are needed to precisely measure relationships between stated …

University of Kentucky
Public Health Delivery Systems And Population Health, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Despite high overall health expenditures, the U.S. continues to fall behind other high-income countries on many measures of population health. While health care delivery systems are now studied intensively for solutions to U.S. cost and quality problems, the nation's delivery systems for public health programs and policies are only now becoming the subject of rigorous empirical study. This presentation examines recent studies of public health delivery systems and important directions for future inquiry.

Quality Of Care In Community Health Centers And Factors Associated With Performance,
2013
George Washington University
Quality Of Care In Community Health Centers And Factors Associated With Performance, Peter Shin, Jessica Sharac, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Julia Paradise
Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative
Federally funded community health centers are a key source of comprehensive primary care for medically underserved communities, serving more than 20 million patients in 2011. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded the health center program significantly to help meet the increased demand for health care that is expected as millions of the uninsured gain health coverage, beginning in 2014. Especially given health centers’ growing role, evidence of the quality of care they provide is of keen interest. Most research shows high performance by health centers relative to various standards, but some gaps have also been found, and suitable benchmarks for …

Examining Universal Primary Healthcare Through Community-Based Initiatives,
2013
Oglethorpe University
Examining Universal Primary Healthcare Through Community-Based Initiatives, Donald E. Warden
Oglethorpe Journal of Undergraduate Research
This paper examines enacting community-based primary healthcare programs and initiatives. It looks at the weaknesses of past attempts, the successes of current attempts, and gives insight into ways everyday citizens can change the way the world does healthcare. There are social, economic, and political barriers as to why these programs are not enacted. Since 1978, Member states of the United Nations strive towards healthcare for all. The original 1978 Declaration of Alma-Ata sets the bar at achieving this goal by the year 2000. Now in the 21st century, the world still battles inadequate healthcare. Nations continue to strive towards …

Members In Mind: Outreach & Education Strategies For Co-Op Insurance Plans. Final Report,
2013
University of Southern Maine, Muskie School of Public Service
Members In Mind: Outreach & Education Strategies For Co-Op Insurance Plans. Final Report, Elizabeth Rogers
Muskie School Capstones and Dissertations
As envisioned by the federal policymakers who designed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2011 (ACA), and the state-based health leaders who are founding them, Consumer Oriented and Operated Plans (CO-OPs) are intended to be a different kind of insurer: non-profit partners in health and healthcare. While many Americans (including Mainers) should welcome this new model, CO-OPs face challenges in establishing brand recognition and capturing the hearts and minds of consumers. The purpose of this research project was to support CO-OPs, particularly Maine’s CO-OP, Maine Community Health Options (MCHO), in assessing and developing communications strategies that enable individuals …
Do User Fees Increase Tuberculosis Notifications?,
2013
Macalester College
Do User Fees Increase Tuberculosis Notifications?, Chioma Y. Chukwumah
Economics Honors Projects
Public health sectors around the world strive to provide accessible and affordable care. Tight government budgets and growing populations lead countries to consider adding or raising charges to health care consumers. These user fees may affect the quality, equity and revenue of health care. This paper investigates the impact of user fees on notifications of tuberculosis. In the panel data composed of 176 countries from 1960 to 2012, I find no evidence that suggests user fees increase tuberculosis. In contrast, I find strong and robust evidence suggesting user fees are associated with fewer new cases of tuberculosis.
