Over the past 30 years the health framework in which doctors and other healthcare professionals practise has changed relatively little in comparison with the enormous changes seen in transport, manufacturing, and telecommunications (Yellowlees & Brooks, 1999). In Australia, the health system, like others in developed countries worldwide, is deteriorating quickly. Productivity commission reports, parliamentary inquiries, and numerous academic papers describe the current waste and lack of focus on outcomes in our health system (Weyden & Armstrong, 2004), at a time when communities and dedicated health professionals are screaming for the resources to provide acceptable care for their communities (Jackson, 2005).

Abstract Background: Patient Priorities Care (PPC) is an innovative approach to improving care for older adults with multiple morbidities. We developed a PPC training program for healthcare professionals and describe preliminary results. Methods: We implemented PPC in a geriatrics clinic. 20 staff and trainees participated on 1) how to identify patient priorities, 2) documentation in the electronic health record (EHR), and 3) strategies to align care with priorities; and received case-based audit and feedback. Results: 250 patients participated in PPC encounters. The EHR template was subsequently integrated within an Age Friendly Health System (AFHS) note. Clinicians have integrated this AFHS template for all encounters. Conclusion: PPC is a feasible approach to the care of older adults with multiple morbidities following a structured clinician training program. PPC can be effectively incorporated into the “Matter Most” component of AFHS.

BackgroundThe health disadvantage in socioeconomically marginalised urban settings can be challenging for health professionals, but strong primary health care improves health equity and outcomes.AimTo understand challenges and identify needs in general practices in a socioeconomically marginalised Australian setting.Design & settingQualitative methodology with general practices in a disadvantaged area of western Sydney.MethodSemi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals and their patients were transcribed and analysed thematically under the guidance of a reference group of stakeholder representatives.ResultsA total of 57 participants from 17 practices (comprising 16 GPs, five GP registrars [GPRs], 15 practice staff, 10 patients, and 11 allied health professionals [AHPs]), provided a rich description of local communities and patients, and highlighted areas of satisfaction and challenges of providing high quality health care in this setting. Interviewees identified issues with health systems impacting on patients and healthcare professionals, and recommended healthcare reform. Team-based, patient-centred models of primary health care with remuneration for quality of care rather than patient throughput were strongly advocated, along with strategies to improve patient access to specialist care.ConclusionThe needs of healthcare professionals and patients working and living in urban areas of disadvantage are not adequately addressed by the Australian health system. The authors recommend the implementation of local trials aimed at improving primary health care in areas of need, and wider health system reform in order to improve the health of those at socioeconomic and health disadvantage.

RESUMOObjetivo: elucidar a relevância do financiamento do Sistema Único de Saúde sobre a eficiência das ações na média e alta complexidades nos serviços. Método: trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico, tipo revisão integrativa da literatura. Selecionaram-se os artigos no período de 2007 a 2016, nas bases de dados a LILACS, MEDLINE e ColecionaSUS, no idioma português. Estruturou-se a pesquisa em seis etapas metodológicas. Após a leitura sistematizada dos artigos os estudos foram analisados e apresentados em forma de figuras. Resultados: selecionaram-se três estudos que revelam que a produção científica apresentada é bastante reduzida e necessita de maior aprofundamento em relação à investigação e às inferências de contribuição para a melhoria dos processos em nível da média e alta complexidades, sobretudo nas consequências que os entraves causam aos serviços hospitalares. Conclusão: necessita-se de maior aprofundamento no tocante às lacunas existentes na atual metodologia de financiamento dos serviços para que sejam fomentadas ferramentas que possibilitem a melhoria contínua dos processos e garantam a real eficiência da distribuição de recursos para um sistema que gere resultados positivos em saúde.

This paper investigates an educational proposal articulated through a policy of the Ministry of Health, which aims to promote changes in the training of health professionals. An inter-institutional partnership promoted the training of specialists as Activators of Processes of Change. This study analyzes the characteristics of a post-graduate semi-distance-learning course, examining the transformation potential of health praxis. It involves the analysis of documents and interviews published in official reports of the course addressing competency profile construction, the political-pedagogical project and management and evaluation of the proposal. The analysis of data and information used the principles of the meaning interpretation method as a reference. The educational praxis of the tutors was transformed, since students became professionals in change activation. 698 activators were qualified, with a loss of 12.9%. The characteristics of the proposal enhanced participants' involvement in the construction of new capacities, highlighting the broadening of analysis and intervention in reality. Eliciting the potential of individuals and the group, and the spaces for reflection proved to be the main achievement in the construction of educational projects, in the context of the Unified Health System.

Pictorial Instructions

Animated pictorial instructions are effective resources for learning medical content (e.g., surgical procedures). Considering this, the Open University of the Unified Health System of the Federal University of Maranhão (UNA-SUS/UFMA) in Brazil employs animation in their distance learning courses. From 2009 to the present the UNA-SUS/UFMA has offered 48 e-courses to health professionals, reaching around 470,000 enrolments. The development of animated instructions at UNA-SUS/UFMA considers medical and pedagogical knowledge only, lacking information design expertise to reach communication effectiveness. Thus, a design methodology was proposed based on: (a) the results of an analytical study of 100 medical animations; (b) the outcomes of a context analysis of the UNA-SUS/UFMA design process through interviews with the heads of the educational production departments; and (c) the results of an online questionnaire with 1,735 health professionals. The methodology consists of three phases: (1) Structuring: identification and arrangement of different contents (introductory content, inventory information, steps, warnings), resulting in an animation script; (2) Representation: definition of the animation graphic appearance and technological resources (e.g., pictorial style, camera framing, interaction cues), resulting in a visual storyboard or mock-up/prototype that can be tested with users (e.g., comprehension, usability tests); and (3) Finalization: programming and production of the animation. For each phase, instruments/protocols were developed to aid decision-making (form, guidelines and checklist). To evaluate the methodology, a focus group was conducted with the animation stakeholders/developers of the UNA-SUS/UFMA. The results were positive, but suggestions were made to improve the decision-making instruments, which were considered in the methodology final design.

ABSTRACT The last few decades have witnessed a growth in the value of dentists as health professionals as they act as protagonists in the construction of public health policies. This change comes from powerful and representative dentists in the Unified Health System (acronym in Portuguese is SUS). This short theoretical essay aims to bring the reader closer to the attributes necessary for the building of a social policy and draws a parallel with the National Oral Health Policy (acronym in Portuguese is PNSB). Issues such as context-oriented health policy and the National Oral Health Policy associated with the attributes of a social policy are presented in a narrative and reflective manner. In this process, the exercise of citizenship is demonstrated, emphasizing the importance of the collective role and policy of dentist surgeons in the stages of health policies in Brazil
