The experience of low- and middle-income countries (LMC) with respect to regulation and legislation in the health sector is in marked contrast to that of Canada and Europe. It is suggested that the degree to which regulatory mechanisms can influence private sector activity in LMC is quite low. However, there has been little work done on exploring just how, and to what extent, these regulations fail. Through the use of stakeholder interviews, this study explored the effectiveness of regulations directed at the private-for-profit sector (general practitioners, private clinics and hospitals) in Zimbabwe. The study found that there was limited and asymmetric knowledge of basic regulations among government bodies and private providers. However, there was a clear feeling that regulations are not being implemented and enforced effectively. A variety of opportunistic practices have been observed among private providers, including: practices of self-referral, where patients are sent to other services the provider has a financial interest in; over-servicing; doctor-patient collusion to collect health insurance payments; and the use of unlicensed staff in private facilities. Key factors limiting effectiveness of regulation in the health sector include the over-centralization and lack of independence of the regulatory body, the absence of legal mechanisms to control the price of care, and the lack of knowledge by patients of their rights. The study also identified a number of potential strategies for improving the current regulatory environment. For example, in order to improve monitoring, 'informal' arrangements between the centralized regulatory body and local authorities developed. There is a need to develop ways to formalize the role of these authorities. In addition, professional associations of private providers are also identified as key players through which to improve the impact of regulation among private providers. Increasing consumer access to information and knowledge is another potential way to improve information within the regulatory process as well as implementation. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To explore the type of private practice supplementary income-generating activities of public sector doctors in the Portuguese-speaking African countries, and also to discover the motivations and the reasons why doctors have not made a complete move out of public service. DESIGN: Cross-sectional qualitative survey. SUBJECTS: In 1996, 28 Angolan doctors, 26 from Guinea-Bissau, 11 from Mozambique and three from S Tomé and Principe answered a self-administered questionnaire. RESULTS: All doctors, except one unemployed, were government employees. Forty-three of the 68 doctors that answered the questionnaire reported an income-generating activity other than the one reported as principal. Of all the activities mentioned, the ones of major economic importance were: public sector medical care, private medical care, commercial activities, agricultural activities and university teaching. The two outstanding reasons why they engage in their various side-activities are 'to meet the cost of living' and 'to support the extended family'. Public sector salaries are supplemented by private practice. Interviewees estimated the time a family could survive on their public sector salary at seven days (median value). The public sector salary still provides most of the interviewees income (median 55%) for the rural doctors, but has become marginal for those in the urban areas (median 10%). For the latter, private practice has become of paramount importance (median 65%). For 26 respondents, the median equivalent of one month's public sector salary could be generated by seven hours of private practice. Nevertheless, being a civil servant was important in terms of job security, and credibility as a doctor. The social contacts and public service gave access to power centres and resources, through which other coping strategies could be developed. The expectations regarding the professional future and regarding the health systems future were related mostly to health personnel issues. CONCLUSION: The variable response rate per question reflects some resistance to discuss some of the issues, particularly those related to income. Nevertheless, these studies may provide an indication of what is happening in professional medical circles in response to the inability of the public sector to sustain a credible system of health care delivery. There can be no doubt that for these doctors the notion of a doctor as a full-time civil-servant is a thing of the past. Switching between public and private is now a fact of life. 相似文献

The behavior of private sector health care providers will depend critically on the environment within which they operate. A bewildering array of possible regulatory and incentive setting structures exist. Most developing countries have the basic legislation for regulation, but there are frequently difficulties in enforcing such controls. While process aspects of quality of care regulation are often the responsibility of professional organizations, these organizations may have limited incentives to be active in ensuring high quality medical car.e There has been less experience with the use of incentives to encourage appropriate behavior amongst private providers: this appears a promising area for further work. Above all, adequate information is essential both for the enforcement of regulations and the application of incentive mechanisms. 相似文献

The use of private health care providers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is widespread and is the subject of considerable debate. We review here a new model of private primary care provision emerging in South Africa, in which commercial companies provide standardized primary care services at relatively low cost. The structure and operation of one such company is described, and features of service delivery are compared with the most probable alternatives: a private general practitioner or a public sector clinic. In a case study of cost and quality of services, the clinics were popular with service users and run at a cost per visit comparable to public sector primary care clinics. However, their current role in tackling important public health problems was limited. The implications for public health policy of the emergence of this new model of private provider are discussed. It is argued that encouraging the use of such clinics by those who can afford to pay for them might not help to improve care available for the poorest population groups, which are an important priority for the government. Encouraging such providers to compete for government funding could, however, be desirable if the range of services presently offered, and those able to access them, could be broadened. However, the constraints to implementing such a system successfully are notable, and these are acknowledged. Even without such contractual arrangements, these companies provide an important lesson to the public sector that acceptability of services to users and low-cost service delivery are not incompatible objectives. 相似文献

The impact of decentralisation, socioeconomic changes and healthcare reforms in Indonesia on type and distribution of healthcare providers and quality‐of‐care has been unclear. We examined workforce trends for healthcare facilities from 1993 to 2007 using the Indonesian Family Life Surveys. Each included a sample of public and private healthcare facilities, used standardised interviews for numbers and composition of staffing, and quality‐of‐care vignettes. There was an increase in multiprovider facilities and shift in profile of solo providers—increasing proportions of midwives and drop in doctors in rural areas (including facilities with doctors) and nurses in urban areas. Quality‐of‐care scores were low, particularly for nurses as solo providers. Despite increased numbers of healthcare workers and growth of the private sector, outer Java‐Bali and rural areas continued to be disadvantaged in workforce capacity and quality‐of‐care. The results have implications for accreditation and in‐service training requirements, the legal status of nurses and private sector regulation. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Value-adding partnerships have emerged as a preferred strategy of private health care providers to achieve high-quality, low-cost provider status. This same strategy can be applied by public sector providers through the creation of public-private partnership organizations (3POs). Strategies to build 3POs between local governments and their medical communities currently under development are outlined. The conceptual and practical aspects of implementing 3POs are presented. 相似文献

Appropriate practice of pharmacovigilance in Nigeria will require total involvement of the private medical practitioners considering their number and closeness to the community. Thus, the understanding and attitude of Doctors practicing in the private sectors, towards Pharmacovigilance, was investigated. A consecutive sampling was used to distribute two hundred and seventy questionnaires to consenting doctors in the private hospitals of the Lagos West Senatorial District. The response rate was 93% and the results showed that majority of the respondents, 208 (82.9%), have heard about pharmacovigilance and a large percentage (79.3%) defined pharmacovigilance correctly. However, most of the respondents, 141 (56.2%), did not know how to report ADRs and where to obtain the ADR forms (71.7%). Only 14 (5.6%) of the respondents reported ADRs in the last one month. However, the majority of the respondents (89.6%) were willing to practice pharmacovigilance if they are trained. There were significant associations (p < 0.05) between previous areas of practice of the respondents; the respondents' academic qualifications; years of experience and reporting of ADRs. The NPC has already been organizing series' of trainings for doctors on pharmacovigilance, however, more periodic trainings should be organized for doctors especially those practicing in private hospitals. The curriculum of medical schools should be reviewed for its pharmacovigilance content. 相似文献

The private medical sector is an important and rapidly growing source of health care in India. Private medical providers (PMP) are a diverse group, known to be poorly regulated by government policies and variable in the quality of services provided. Studies of their practices have documented inappropriate prescribing as well as violation of ethical guidelines on patient care. However, despite the critique that inequitable services characterise the private medical sector, PMPs remain important and preferred providers of primary care. This paper argues that their greater involvement in the public health framework is imperative to addressing the goal of health equity. Through a review of two research studies conducted in Pune, India, to examine the role of PMPs in tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS care, the themes of equity and access arising in private sector delivery of care for TB and HIV/AIDS are explored and the future policy directions for involving PMPs in public health programmes are highlighted. The paper concludes that public-private partnerships can enhance continuity of care for patients with TB and HIV/AIDS and argues that interventions to involve PMPs must be supported by appropriate research, along with political commitment and leadership from both public and private sectors. 相似文献

通过系统分析中国社会办医的现状,为进一步促进社会办医提出政策建议。根据国内外文献,社会办医疗机构和公立医疗机构在医疗费用和服务质量方面并没有显著差异,并且由于社会办医促进市场开放与公平竞争,公立医院和整个医疗卫生服务市场的绩效也因此有所提高(正向溢出效应)。尽管如此,由于中国长期计划经济自上而下的资源配置与行政干预,社会办医长期未能得到健康发展,主要政策障碍包括准入方面存在隐形限制、经营方面缺乏税收鼓励、用人方面缺少优质医师资源。因此,建议调整区域卫生规划的功能从“封顸”向“兜底”过渡,尽快制定有利于社会办医的土地政策和人才政策,进一步完善相关配套措施,促进社会办医在中国的健康发展。 相似文献

This paper addresses three issues. First, why did market competition emerge in the U.S. health care system? Second, once free of regulatory constraints, how is the structure of the medical care system likely to evolve? Three, what are the implications of market competition for the public as well as for providers? The medical system in the U.S. was highly regulated and conventional wisdom assumed a continuation of these trends. Further, the economic motivation of existing providers was to maintain the status quo; market competition threatens their economic well being. Market competition was primarily a result of private sector forces. Several actions by the government, both intentional and unintentional, aided these private forces. Second, economies of scale and consumer preferences for different delivery systems appear to be important determinants of the new market structure. Lastly, market competition is forcing a redistribution of incomes, both between providers as well as between providers and taxpayers. There is also increasing concern over the plight of the medically indigent, as inadequate government payments become more obvious in a price competitive system. 相似文献

This study analyses the size and the characteristics of the private medical market in Guangzhou. Legislations related to the regulation of private medical establishments are examined. Data collected reveal that private sector provision of health services in China is still small and lacks sophistication. The article recommends further reforms in the fees and charges system; loosening of the restrictions of public doctors to undertake private practice; contracting-out some of the state health services to private practitioners; and, creating a more favourable environment for private investment in the health care industry. 相似文献
