The current National Health Service (NHS) approach to commissioning health services is in flux. The purchasing of care from providers by general practitioner fundholders (GPFHs) and health authorities has changed with the new White Papers. GPFHs no longer exist and the commissioning role is being handed over from health authorities to primary care groups (PCGs). An understanding of the reasons for change and current arrangements will aid the consultant psychiatrist in influencing this process.

<p>This research investigates the role of health practitioner regulation in health service improvement. Over the last 25 years, service improvement has included management reforms, quality and redesign programmes, multidisciplinary teamwork, the integration of clinical information systems, and new roles for health professionals. Yet despite sustained effort, improvements tend to be localised rather than organisation or system-wide. Remedies have included attention to leadership, change management and service culture. Through the same period, there have been changes to expand and strengthen health practitioner regulation, but scant attention to whether this regulation could contribute to difficulties with health service improvement. A critical realist methodology was used to build an explanation of how regulatory policies could condition health professionals and health service organisations in ways that limit the progress of service improvement. A multilevel approach was used to discover the mechanisms that could operate among policy-makers and the health workforce, generating effects in health service organisations. The study concluded that this explanation contributes new insights to explain persistent difficulties in health service improvement.  The research began with the 19th century to understand the social conditions in the construction of the health workforce and health service organisations. Next, it identified the network of modern regulatory stakeholders in healthcare, along with the potential for their policies to operate in conflict or concert depending on the circumstances. Deficiencies were identified in the traditional accounts of health practitioner regulation, which assumes a single profession and sole practice. ‘Regulatory privilege’ was developed as an alternative theory that describes the operation of nine historically constructed regulatory levers among the multiple health professions employed in health service organisations. This theory linked the regulatory and practice levels, to observe the interactions between health practitioner regulation and policies for health service improvement. Drawing on the recent history of health reforms, eight elements were identified that characterise directions for service improvement in healthcare. Investigation of interactions between these nine levers and eight elements identified sources for policy interactions through six sector levels. Interactive effects were identified in: policy design influenced by health practitioner regulation; the leadership and management capability in health service organisations, the design options for delivery of services, the means available to coordinate services, the role opportunities and practice arrangements for health professionals, and the experience of service fragmentation by consumers.  This multilevel explanation shows how health practitioner regulation could contribute to difficulties with service improvement, even when health services have adopted best practice in their implementations. It shows how poor alignment between the regulatory and practice levels makes it unlikely that health service organisations could address certain difficulties in the ways suggested by some scholars. Given the sustained directions for health service improvement, these findings could contribute to policy thinking around how to better align the regulatory and practice levels to realise organisation or systemwide improvements in the delivery of healthcare.</p>

Abstrak Rabies di Indonesia telah berada sejak abad 18, namun hingga saat ini Indonesia belum bebas dari rabies. Hanya 8 provinsi di Indonesia yang bebas dari rabies yaitu DKI Jakarta, Jawa Tengah, Jawa Timur, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Bangka Belitung, Kepulauan Riau, Papua, dan Papua Barat, padahal Indonesia ditargetkan bebas rabies pada tahun 2030. Rabies tidak dapat diobati karena disebabkan oleh virus Lyssa, hanya dapat dicegah melalui pendekatan One Health yaitu kesehatan manusia, kesehatan hewan, satwa liar dan kesehatan lingkungan. Upaya pencegahan itu adalah dengan pemberian vaksinasi rabies ke Hewan Pembawa Rabies (HPR) dan pemberian Post Exposure Prophylaxys (PEP) pada manusia yang tergigit oleh HPR. Pemberian PEP hanya dapat dilakukan di Rabies center atau fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan primer yang ditunjuk oleh pemerintah. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peranan fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan untuk mengendalikan rabies yang sudah tersebar di 26 provinsi. Metode berupa review literatur yang dicari menggunakan kata kunci Pelayanan Kesehatan Primer, Post Exposure Prophylaxis dan Rabies di Indonesia. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah peran fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan dalam mengendalikan rabies pada manusia sangat penting, dalam hal tatalaksana pertama kali terhadap korban penyediaan Vaksin Anti Rabies (VAR) dan promosi kesehatan. Rabies dapat dicegah dengan perilaku hidup sehat, sehingga peran fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan yang ditunjuk sebagai Rabies center dapat mengoptimalkan promosi kesehatan melalui pemberian leaflet, edukasi rabies di sekolah-sekolah dasar, pemasangan spanduk rabies dan pemutaran video rabies di puskesmas atau rumah sakit di ruang tunggu pasien sehingga pasien dapat melihat dan mengetahui mengenai rabies dan pencegahannya. Kata kunci: pelayanan kesehatan, post exposure prophylaxis, dan rabies center Abstract Rabies has been in Indonesia since the 18th century, but until now Indonesia has not been free from rabies yet. Only 8 provinces in Indonesia are free from rabies, namely DKI Jakarta, Central of Java, East of Java, Jogyakarta, Bangka Belitung, The Riau Islands, Papua, and West Papua. Rabies could not be treated because it caused by the virus (named Lyssavirus), which only prevented by the approach of one health in human health, animal health and wildlife animals, and environmental health. Lyssa could be prevented by a rabies vaccine program to rabid animals and post-exposure prophylaxis (PPE) in humans who bitten by rabid animals. The provision of the PPE can only be done in Rabies center or primary health service facilities designated by the government. This writing aims to know the role of health service facilities in primary or public health centers to tackle rabies which has been spread in 26 provinces. A method of review literature that sought to use the keywords was Health services in primary, Post-exposure prophylaxis, and Rabies in Indonesia. Results were the role of health service facilities in the control of rabies in humans is very important, in terms of managing the provision of VAR and the promotion of health service. Rabies can be prevented with healthy patterns of living so that the role of health service facilities which was appointed for rabies center can optimize the promotion of health through the provision of leaflets, education in primary schools, setting banners rabies and screening of rabies in video health center or hospital patients in the waiting room so that the patient can see and know what rabies and it prevents. Keywords: health services, post-exposure prophylaxis, and rabies center

Summary For several decades, mental health services within the UK's National Health Service were provided by specialist mental health trusts. More recently many of these trusts have integrated community physical health services into their operations. We describe here how two integrated mental health trusts in England were able to make an enhanced response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Innovation is associated with improvement, however, there is little published about the “ingredients” for successful innovation in healthcare, and the skills required of Health Service Managers (HSMs) who facilitate change in their organisations.   Aim: This paper synthesizes the findings of a literature review performed to describe the organizational and contextual factors that enable and sustain innovation in healthcare settings.   Implications for the practice of Health Service Management and curriculum development have been extrapolated as innovation has been identified as a solution to escalating health system demands in a rapidly changing environment.Approach: A literature review used a systematic approach to source articles from the Scopus and Emerald databases over the period of 1993 to February 2016.  Papers were also retrieved from a BMC Health Services Research weekly alert.  Snowballing from relevant articles identified additional and significant papers.  Grey literature, peer-reviewed papers and reports were similarly reviewed to incorporate contemporary perspectives on this topic across the business, health and University sectors, and to facilitate discussion of the skills and competencies for HSMs practice and education in relation to this topic. Context: Innovation is crucial to the sustainability and viability of Australia’s world class health system.  There is potential for innovation to lead to more cost-effective and efficient ways to address the challenges of limited health budgets and increasingly complex morbidities in an ageing population. Main findings: Successful innovation according to the literature, is determined by a complex interaction of determinants including organizational culture, support and resourcing for innovation, leadership and a clear and shared vision.  An organizational culture supportive of innovation includes strong transdisciplinary communication, engaged and invested staff and recognition of the role of innovation in health improvement and outcomes.  A setting that is open to identifying, testing and evaluating initiatives for innovation requires capabilities to establish and maintain the working relationships, team dynamics and to prioritise resourcing to facilitate and sustain new ways of working, services, products or technologies.Recent research on the skills required for health service management employability and career success was also examined and identified the importance of skills such as communication, creativity and problem solving.  These skills are critical and linked to the role of the HSM in accelerating innovation in their organisations.Conclusions: The key ingredients for successful innovation in health were inferred from the literature.  HSMs are well positioned to support innovation as they possess the necessary technical and professional skillsets. The literature suggests that the development of graduate skills in the areas of communication, problem solving, and team work is critical to meet industry needs and for HSMs to enable innovation.Universities educating health service managers strive to ensure that graduates are professionals equipped to lead and manage health services. HSM graduates can foster the organizational and contextual factors that sustain and sanction innovative ideas to flourish and progress to implementation.  Current research advocates that strong industry and higher education collaboration is important to further develop the graduate attributes necessary for innovation.

To describe the role of the consultant psychotherapist in the mental health services, we must start from the situation in regard to psychotherapeutic needs in the community and the kinds of resources that can be mobilized to meet them. I should make it clear that when referring to consultant psychotherapists in the psychotherapeutic clinic I assume that optimally these specialists would be part of a comprehensive psychiatric service. For convenience I shall use the term “psychotherapeutic centre” to allow for the location of the psychotherapeutic services to vary according to circumstances in any one area. Also, although I shall speak often of the psychotherapist as though his was a rather separate contribution, I want to stress that this is partly a reflection of the present situation. Much of what I have to say about his role must become increasingly a part of the work of all psychiatrists.
