A number of factors and conditions hinder and restrict access to the health care system and its different services; these barriers to access put at risk the health of people by affecting adequate processes. Objective: To carry out a literature review on barriers to access to the health care system and visual health services in Colombia and around the world. Methodology: A literature review was carried out based on a search of the Medline, ScienceDirect, and Pubmed databases, as well as indexed public health journals and the websites of the Local Health Authority, the World Health Organization, the Pan American Health Organization, the UNESCO, and the Brien Holden Vision Institute. Results: The main barriers related to demand, both in general services and in visual health, are the lack of perception on the need for service and lack of economic resources; at the offer level, the existing policies constitute a real obstacle. Conclusions: Awareness-raising in the population, together with the implementation of health policies that grant equal access to health care services, are fundamental to prevent people from being affected, to a large extent, by barriers related to demand or offer, regardless of their location or level of income.

Improving the quality of patient care and patient outcomes is a major concern internationally.  In a developing health care system, implementing quality improvement is challenging due not only to resource and workforce issues but also cultural factors.  Using the method of a focussed literature review, this paper discusses the importance of assessing a societal view of culture, social mores and customs, and power relationships in quality improvement activities using the intensive care unit as an exemplar.   We conclude that implementing quality improvement strategies in a developing health care system needs to address the broader perspectives of social and cultural systems particularly hierarchical relationships and issues of non-disclosure.

Care System

Kesehatan ibu dan anak menjadi salah satu perhatian penting dalam bidang kesehatan.  Anak sehat merupakan modal dasar hadirnya generasi yang berkualitas. Untuk itu memerlukan pemenuhan gizi yang optimal dalam proses pertumbuhan dan perkembangannya. Namun pada kenyataaannya, satu dari tiga anak atau sekitar 8 juta anak mengalami pertumbuhan tak maksimal yang diakibatkan oleh berbagai kondisi kekurangan gizi. Tapi harus diingat bersama bahwa permasalahan di system pelayanan kesehatan dapat tertangani dengan baik jika melibatkan seluruh profesi kesehatan dalam Interprofessional Collaboration.  Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisa artikel mengenai aplikasi health system dalam Interprofessional collaboration pada penanganan gizi buruk. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain literature review dengan melakukan penelusuran literatur di beberapa database, yakni Proquest, EBSCO, dan Sciencedirect. Artikel yang digunakan dengan rentang publikasi tahun 2005-2016. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dari artikel yang dikumpulkan, diperoleh hasil bahwa model Betty Neuman bisa diterapkan dalam konteks pelayanan multidisiplin yang menguatkan terlaksananya Interprofessional Collaboration sebagai upaya untuk mencegah fragmentasi dalam pemberian pelayanan untuk klien sehingga model ini dapat bekerja dengan baik dalam tatanan pelayanan yang berbasis multidisiplin

Diabetic Macular Edema is a major cause of visual impairment in economically active population, being responsible for a significant impact in quality of life in the affected population, as well as high costs to the health care system. Over decades, some studies have compared treatments using Laser, Anti-VEGF and intravitreous corticosteroids, establishing protocols to reach effectives therapies. Thus, it is essential an entire understanding of available therapies to reach the goal of disease control, in an individual basis and in a collective health care system, as efficient as possible.

Care System

Purpose – This paper focuses on the analysis of the most common tools that health care organizations use to assess the quality of the delivered services, the patient surveys. In line with the results of a systematic literature review on the issue, the study embraces service ecosystem perspective to understand why these surveys are unable to grasp actors’ disposition to co-create value for the health care system. Methodology – An in-depth literature review based on PRISMA framework explored 34 works on the topic of patient surveys in order to trace the evolution of the relationship users/providers and to highlight the criticalities related to the adoption of patient surveys in service-oriented era. The study discusses critically their efficacy to understand how they can affect (positively or negatively) the viability of a health care service eco-system. Findings – The literature review highlights patient surveys inability in grasping the real perception that patients have of experienced services and in involving them in value co-creation, through their engagement in service design and delivery. Moreover, the results reveal the need to adopt Service Dominant (S-D) Logic and service eco-system perspective to reread the traditional tools to measure quality in healthcare. For this reason, the metaphor of health service eco-system “infection” is launched, depicting the negative influence of patient satisfaction surveys on value co-creation and the subsequent service eco-system viability. Practical implications – The study shows that assuming a service eco-system perspective based on S-D logic, health care system should boost and preserve value co-creation processes. Moreover, institutions should foster those “rules of the game” that institutionalize the contribution of health providers to value co-creation, defining specific strategies to avoid the “infections” of health care service eco-system, e.g. investing and promoting non-detrimental tools.Originality – This study represents one of the first attempts to reread the tools used to assess patient embracing a service eco-system perspective. Interesting implications have been presented in terms of the negative effect that traditional assessment tools have on providers, patients and the whole society.
