OBJECTIVE: To estimate hospitalization rates for pneumococcal disease based on the Brazilian Hospital Information System (SIH). METHODS: Descriptive study based on the Hospital Information System of Brazilian National Health System data from January 2004 to December 2006: number of hospitalizations and deaths for pneumococcal meningitis, pneumococcal sepsis, pneumococcal pneumonia and Streptococcus pneumoniae as the cause of diseases reported in Brazil. Data from the 2003 Brazilian National Household Survey were used to estimate events in the private sector. Pneumococcal meningitis cases and deaths reported to the Notifiable Diseases Information System during the study period were also analyzed. RESULTS: Pneumococcal disease accounted for 34,217 hospitalizations in the Brazilian National Health System (0.1% of all hospitalizations in the public sector). Pneumococcal pneumonia accounted for 64.8% of these hospitalizations. The age distribution of the estimated hospitalization rates for pneumococcal disease showed a "U"-shape curve with the highest rates seen in children under one (110 to 136.9 per 100,000 children annually). The highest hospital case-fatality rates were seen among the elderly, and for sepsis and meningitis. CONCLUSIONS: PD is a major public health problem in Brazil. The analysis based on the SIH can provide an important input to pneumococcal disease surveillance and the impact assessment of immunization programs.

ABSTRAKSistem Informasi Kesehatan (SIMKes) merupakan bagian penting dari sistem kesehatan suatu negara. SIMKes adalah bentuk utama Sistem Kesehatan Nasional (SKN) yang digunakan sebagai komponen dalam pembangunan berwawasan kesehatan. Sistem informasi yang tersusun dan terkonsep akan menghasilkan luaran yang baik dan membuat masyarakat tidak buta dengan dunia kesehatan. Teknologi informasi berkembang secara cepat dan berdampak pada semua aspek kehidupan, termasuk informasi kesehatan. Perkembangan teknologi saat ini berperan penting menjadi sebuah media bagi masyarakat milenial atau tenaga kesehatan untuk mendapatkan informasi mengenai gambaran kesehatan dan persebaran penyakit atau epidemiologi di wilayahnya masing-masing. Program Hibah Kemitraan ini bertujuan untuk melatih para kader kesehatan di setiap Padukuhan di Desa Tijayan Manisrenggo Jawa Tengah bagaimana cara membuat profil kesehatan dan peta persebaran penyakit di desa tersebut dan menyajikannya secara interaktif, edukatif, dan berbasis elektronik. Sasaran utama dalam program ini adalah kader kesehatan masing-masing padukuhan yang terdapat di Desa Tijayan, meliputi Bawangan, Candran, Pogaten, dan Sorobayan. Beberapa program kegiatan untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut meliputi pengumpulan data kesehatan yang didapat melalui survey atau sensus dan data yang sudah tersedia di pusat data kesehatan desa, penyuluhan tata cara pembuatan profil kesehatan dan peta persebaran penyakit, dan pelatihan penyajian data informasi kesehatan masyarakat secara interaktif dan edukatif. Program Hibah Kemitraan ini dapat membantu melengkapi profil kesehatan masyarakat dan meningkatkan kualitas SIMKes di desa mitra.Kata kunci: profil kesehatan; sistem informasi kesehatan; sisten kesehatan nasionalABSTRACTHealth Information System (HIS) is an important component of a country's health system. HIS is the main part of the National Health System, which is used as a pillar in health-oriented development. The structured and conceptual information system produces good outcomes and prevents people from the blindness of health matters. Information technology develops rapidly and impacts most of all aspects of life, including health information. Current technological developments play an important role as a media for millennial people or health professionals to get information about health information and epidemiology in their own region. This program aimed to train health cadres in each region of the Tijayan Manisrenggo Village, Klaten, Central Java, in addition to creating an electronic health profile and epidemiology map of the village and then presenting the profile interactively and educatively. The main targets of this program were health cadres in each region of the Tijayan Village, including Bawangan, Candran, Pogaten, and Sorobayan. Some main activities to achieve the objectives included collecting health data obtained through surveys or censuses and data already available in the health data center of the village, counseling procedures for creating an electronic health profile and epidemiology map, as well as training in the interactive and educative presentation of public health information data. This program helped complete the health profile and increase the quality of health information system in the partner villages.Keywords: health information system; health profile; national health system

The Impact

All treatments, materials, instruments, exams, vaccines, tests, hospitalizations, surgeries, human resources, investigations, medicines, autopsies, among many other services provided by the National Health System (SNS). Therefore, funding is required, and the external services and supplies to which the SNS must constantly update its technologies and the necessary and continuous training and essential maintenance and cleaning expenses. Moreover, health financing has been a matter of great concern, both nationally and internationally, as health expenditures are growing faster than economic growth. Over the years, efficiency in resource allocation has always been a desirable objective, but one that is not easy to achieve. The truth is that there is much waste in allocating resources. Thereby, this study analyzes the impact of the contractualization process to which Portugal has adhered, which is most similar to a privatization model; that is, we sought to understand whether the contractualization of the SNS has a favorable effect on the economic level. However, after the entire process and development of the work, it is concluded that the contracting had a negligible impact. The repercussion that it had on the economic performance of Portuguese Hospitals was in a negative sense. In the statistical analyses it was used tests of differences between averages, to check the behavior of the economic performance of hospitals towards the contracting process. It was taken data of reports and accounts from a sample of fifteen Portuguese Hospitals S.A. that went through this contracting process from 2003 to 2017, in order to calculate the four indicators, such as: Return On Assets (ROA); Return On Equity (ROE); Economic Value Added (EVA) and the Market Value Added (MVA). For each of these indicators, were analyzed and compared the resulted effects between the period of two years before and two years after the contracting process. From the obtained results, we can conclude that contracting process had little impact on the economic performance of Portuguese Hospitals and the resulting impact was not favorable.

Abstract Background This work is aimed at evaluating the quality of Italian hospitalizations data about asbestosis and silicosis, assessing the impact of these diseases on the national health system and providing advice related to public health. Methods Italian hospital discharge data (2001–15) with diagnosis of asbestosis or silicosis were analysed by the multiple correspondence analysis and diseases epidemics were evaluated through hospitalization rates. Results Hospitalizations were concentrated in the northwestern area, referred mainly to males and oldest people, the most treated tumors were lung cancer and mesothelioma (for asbestosis) and cares were aimed at reducing symptoms and increasing blood oxygenation. Overall adjusted Italian hospitalization rates of asbestosis and silicosis were, respectively, 25.2 and 74.9 per 1 000 000 residents. With respect to asbestosis, hospitalizations treating silicosis reported doubled mortality (10.5 vs. 5.7%), longer stays (10.4 vs. 8.6 mean days) and older patients (77 vs. 72 years on average). Diseases rates reduced over time (with a steeper slope for silicosis) and in both fibroses increased hospital mortality (92.1% in asbestoses, 59.5% in silicoses) and percentage of urgent hospitalizations (116.0% in asbestoses, 56.6% in silicoses). Conclusion Hospitalizations data regarding asbestosis and silicosis are consistent. Silicosis had a higher impact than asbestosis on the Italian health system. Although data show decreasing incidence of both fibroses, multiple correspondence analysis highlights that levels of illness severity were higher in silicosis and increased over time in both diseases. Further studies investigating the effectiveness of the current health surveillance programs concerning these diseases are suggested.
