Abstract

Las metas de la cobertura universal de salud son asegurar que todas las personas puedan tener acceso a los servicios de salud de calidad, proteger a todas las personas de los riesgos para la salud publica y del empobrecimiento debido a enfermedad, ya sea por pagos directos por atencion sanitaria 0 por perdida de ingresos cuando un miembro de la familia se enferma. Paises tan diversos como Brasil, Francia, Japan, Tailandia y Turquia han mostrado como la cobertura universal de salud puede servir como un mecanisma vital para mejorar la salud. Garantizar el acceso universal a los servicios de salud asequibles y de calidad sera una contribucion importante para acabar con la pobreza extrema para el 2030 en los paises de bajos ingresos y de ingresos medios, donde vive la mayor parte de los. mas pobres del mundo. La cobertura universal de salud para el desarrollo inclusivo y sostenible sintetiza las experiencias de Bangladesh, Brasil, Etiopia, Francia, Ghana, Indonesia, Japan, Peru, Tailandia, Turquia y Viet Nam en cuanto a la implernentacion de las politicas y estrategias para lograr y mantener la cobertura universal de salud. Estos paises representan condiciones geograticas y econ6micas diversas, pero todos se han comprometido can la cobertura universal de salud como una aspiracion nacional clave y estan acercandose a ella de maneras diferentes. En ellibro se examinan las politicas de cobertura universal de salud de cada pais alrededor de tres temas comunes: la economia politica y el proceso de forrnulacion de la polltica para adoptar, lograr y mantener la cobertura universal de salud; las politicas de financiacion sanitaria para mejorar la cobertura sanitaria; y los recursos humanos para las politicas de salud para lograr la cobertura universal de salud. Los hallazgos de estos estudios de pais tienen por objeto proporcionar enseiianzas que pueden ser utilizadas por los paises que aspiran a adoptar, tograr y mantener la cobertura universal de salud. Aunque el camino ala cobertura universal de salud es especifico para cada pais, los paises pueden beneficiarse de las experiencias de otros al conocer acerca de diferentes enfoques y evitar los riesgos previsibles.

Abstract

Diversity can be the cause of many problems at work and most people fail to recognise them. It is not just verbal expressions that cause confusion and distress. Beyond every gesture lies a world of meaning and interpretation. We do not all communicate in the same way. This, alongside strict policies around political correctness and inclusion, creates confusion, fear and a type of paralysis which can seriously undermine performance. 'The Diversity Dashboard' is a quick reference guide that aims to help managers to bridge the cultural gaps in their organisations. Swallow and Milnes use the analo

Abstract

The social and economic consequences of poor mental health in the developing world are presumed to be significant, yet are largely under-researched. The authors argue that mental health modules can be meaningfully added to multi-purpose household surveys in developing countries, and used to investigate this relationship. Data from nationally representative surveys in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Indonesia, and Mexico, along with special surveys from India and Tonga, show similar patterns of association between mental health and socioeconomic characteristics across countries. Individuals who are older, female, widowed, and report poor physical health are more likely to report worse mental health outcomes. Individuals living with others with poor mental health are also significantly more likely to report worse mental health themselves. In contrast, there is little observed relationship between mental health and poverty or education, common measures of socio-economic status. The results instead suggest that economic and multi-dimensional shocks such as illness or crisis can have a greater impact on mental health than overall levels of poverty. This may have important implications for social protection policy. The authors also find significant associations between poor mental health and lowered labor force participation (especially for women) and higher frequency visits to health centers, suggesting that poor mental health can have significant economic consequences for households and the health system. Finally, the paper discusses how measures of mental health are distinct from general subjective welfare measures such as happiness and indicate useful directions of future research.

Abstract

This is the second biennial volume reviewing the state-of-the-art on a wide variety of micro and macro health care management topics in the popular "Advances in Health Care Management" series. It proudly showcases reviews of both empirical and conceptual research in specific areas of health care management, including topics in three basic areas: reviews of empirical and conceptual research on health care industry-specific topics, e.g., role of physicians; reviews of empirical and conceptual research on different types of health care organizations focusing on issues specific to such organizations or their segments of the health care industry, e.g., hospitals, managed care organizations; and, reviews of empirical and conceptual research on health care organizations focusing on topics or variables which cover various sub-disciplines of management, e.g., organizational change or entrepreneurial opportunity recognition. New and established scholars discuss such topics within their expert area of research, as well as emerging themes and divergent views, giving their unique perspective on the directions that will help build theory and improve the practice of health care management.

Abstract

Panorama de la Salud: Latinoamerica y el Caribe 2020 presenta indicadores clave sobre la salud y los sistemas de salud en 33 paises de Latinoamerica y el Caribe. Esta primera edición del Panorama de la Salud sobre Latinoamérica y el Caribe fue preparada en conjunto por la OCDE y el Banco Mundial. Los analisis se basan en los datos comparables más recientes de alrededor de 100 indicadores sobre equidad, situacion de salud, determinantes de la salud, recursos y actividades, gasto y financiacion, y calidad en la atencion de salud. El editorial discute los principales desafios para la region en el contexto de la pandemia de COVID-19, incluyendo tanto el manejo de la epidemia como la movilizacion y el uso eficiente de recursos para asegurar una respuesta efectiva. El capitulo inicial, que resume el desempenƒo comparativo de los países antes de la crisis actual, está seguido por un capítulo especial sobre el malgasto en los sistemas de salud que redunda en acciones inefectivas o no mejora resultados, con el fin de redirigir esos recursos a otras areas donde son altamente necesarios.
