SUMMARYWe used a mathematical model to describe a regional outbreak and extrapolate the underlying health-service resource needs. This model was designed to (i) estimate resource gaps and quantities of resources needed, (ii) show the effect of resource gaps, and (iii) highlight which particular resources should be improved. We ran the model, parameterized with data from the 2009 H1N1v pandemic, for two provinces in Thailand. The predicted number of preventable deaths due to resource shortcomings and the actual resource needs are presented for two provinces and for Thailand as a whole. The model highlights the potentially huge impact of health-system resource availability and of resource gaps on health outcomes during a pandemic and provides a means to indicate where efforts should be concentrated to effectively improve pandemic response programmes.

Health Service Resource

Public sector psychotherapy differs from private practice in its explicit responsibility for a population. This has major implications, with the need to ration a scarce resource inevitably affecting clinical practice. De facto rationing has existed within the National Health Service (NHS) for years, and the ‘unconscious' processes involved must be made explicit if NHS psychotherapists are to deal with their broader responsibilities, and influence current changes in the Health Service. Resource issues and the related psychological conflicts shape clinical practice and thus theoretical concepts. The effects on practice could be seen as a series of unhappy compromises, or a stimulus to the creative development of a specific NHS psychotherapy, as envisaged by Sigmund Freud.

Resource State

The issues about method of resources availability measurement in system integration are discussed. Firstly it analyzes the change of system resource state and discusses the mechanism of transmission of failures based on resource faults. Secondly the method of resource faults-based health measurement, and the representation of classification and formalization for resources in system integration, and the theoretical means of availability metrics of resources and resource platform are provided. The formal representation of the resource structure embodies the managing properties including resource object type, nature and state etc. And it shows the expression for degradation process of resource and events of faults production. That highlights the significance of resource integration to traditional management.
