This article summarizes the arguments and counter-arguments within the scientific discussion on personnel management in health care organizations. The study’s main purpose is to identify opportunities to improve the efficiency of medical staff through innovative forms of labor organization and HR management. Systematization of scientific background and approaches on personnel management in health care showed that staff development is a priority in health care. The authors emphasized the high competition in the Ukrainian services market. Thus, improving the service quality is the key element for successful any business activity. The relevance of solving this scientific problem is a need to regulate the organization’s personnel policy. To achieve this goal, the study was conducted in the following logical sequence: 1) investigation of the theoretical advances devoted to personnel management of health care facilities and features of this process; 2) analysis of the activity and organizational structure of the University Clinic of Sumy State University; 3) assessment of the motivation and satisfaction of the medical staff of the University Clinic of Sumy State University; 4) identification of the main motives, incentives, and reasons to work; 5) analysis and generalization of the available personnel management tools of the University Clinic of Sumy State University regarding identifying the responsible for personnel management and determining main motivation methods of medical staff. The methodological tools of the study are statistical methods and questionnaires. The study involved data for 2019-2020. The object of the study is the personnel management system of the University Clinic of Sumy State University. The empirical analysis results showed a relationship between several problems, including personnel, organizational and economic. The study empirically confirms and theoretically proves that personnel management affects the effectiveness of health care services. With the study findings, the authors proposed a set of measures to improve the efficiency of the existing personnel management system of the University Clinic of Sumy State University.

Personnel Management System

The staff of the health care institution is its main resource, the quality and efficiency of which largely depends on the results of its activities and its competitiveness in the market of medical services. Prerequisites are being formed for the emphasis on staff diagnostics as a kind of tool for regulating the personnel management system in health care institutions. The theoretical and methodological aspects and results of personnel diagnostics in the personnel management system of a health care institution were revealed in the article. An example was UC “Subsidiary Company of Dental Clinic № 1” of the city of Nikolaev. It is noted that the goals of personnel diagnostics in personnel management systems are: improving the quality of management; unity of action in management; effective use of human resources; increase staff productivity. Carrying out diagnostics involves a step-by-step study of the following aspects: staffing; staffing of the enterprise; quantitative composition of staff by categories, gender structure, age, education and length of service; labor movement, use of working time. Emphasis is placed on decision-making based on its results. As the analysis showed, in 2018–2020 years the share of employees of the most important for the company categories of staff (managers, professionals, and specialists) not changed significantly. These categories of staff occupied the largest share in the structure of all staff. A study of the structure of the company’s staff by age, education and length of service, found that the basis of the staff UC “Subsidiary Company of Dental Clinic № 1” are young, energetic and highly educated people. The age category from 25 to 40 years largely prevails. Most of the staff of UC “Subsidiary Company of Dental Clinic № 1” works at the company from 10 to 20 years. However, there are some problems in the staffing of the clinic, the structure of health workers and the orientation of work to the end result. Emphasis is placed on decision-making based on the results of staff diagnostics. Considerable attention is paid to improving the motivational mechanism. Recommendations for the use of additional tangible and intangible incentives in personnel management are given.

disease in 2019, also called COVID-19, which has been widely spread worldwide had given rise to a pandemic situation. The public health emergency of international concern declared the agent as the (SARS-CoV-2) the severe acute respiratory syndrome and the World Health Organization had activated significant surveillance to prevent the spread of this infection across the world. Taking into the account about the rigorousness of COVID-19, and in the spark of the enormous dedication of several dental associations, it is essential to be enlightened with the recommendations to supervise dental patients and prevent any of education to the dental graduates due to institutional closure. One of the approaching expertise that combines technology, communications and health care facilities are to refine patient care, it’s at the cutting edge of the present technological switch in medicine and applied sciences. Dentistry has been improved by cloud technology which has refined and implemented various methods to upgrade electronic health record system, educational projects, social network and patient communication. Technology has immensely saved the world. Economically and has created an institutional task force to uplift the health care service during the COVID 19 pandemic crisis. Hence, the pandemic has struck an awakening of the practice of informatics in a health care facility which should be implemented and updated at the highest priority.

Abstract Objectives: Little is known about how flood risk of health-care facilities (HCFs) is evaluated by emergency preparedness professionals and HCFs administrators. This study assessed knowledge of emergency preparedness and HCF management professionals regarding locations of floodplains in relation to HCFs. A Web-based interactive map of floodplains and HCF was developed and users of the map were asked to evaluate it. Methods: An online survey was completed by administrators of HCFs and public health emergency preparedness professionals in Illinois, before and after an interactive online map of floodplains and HCFs was provided. Results: Forty Illinois HCFs located in floodplains were identified, including 12 long-term care facilities. Preparedness professionals have limited knowledge of whether local HCFs were in floodplains, and few reported availability of geographic information system (GIS) resources at baseline. Respondents intended to use the interactive map for planning and stakeholder communications. Conclusions: Given that HCFs are located in floodplains, this first assessment of using interactive maps of floodplains and HCFs may promote a shift to reliable data sources of floodplain locations in relation to HCFs. Similar approaches may be useful in other settings.

Abstract Background Nurturing care interventions have the potential to promote health and development in early childhood. Amagugu Asakhula was designed to promote developmentally important dietary and movement behaviours among children of preschool age (3–5 years) in South Africa. An initial formative study in Cape Town found the intervention to be feasible and acceptable when delivered by community health workers (CHWs) linked to a community-based organisation. This study evaluated the delivery of the Amagugu Asakhula intervention by CHWs linked to a public sector primary health care facility in Soweto, as this mode of delivery could have more potential for sustainability and scalability. Methods A qualitative design was utilised to assess feasibility, acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, implementation, fidelity and context. CHWs (n = 14) delivered the intervention to caregivers (n = 23) of preschool-age children in Soweto over 6 weeks. Following the completion of the intervention, focus group discussions were held with CHWs and caregivers. Further data were obtained through observations, study records and key informant interviews (n = 5). Data were analysed using deductive thematic analysis guided by a process evaluation framework. Results The delivery of the Amagugu Asakhula intervention through CHWs linked to a primary health care facility in Soweto was not found to be feasible due to contextual challenges such as late payment of salaries influencing CHW performance and willingness to deliver the intervention. CHWs expressed dissatisfaction with their general working conditions and were thus reluctant to take on new tasks. Despite barriers to successful delivery, the intervention was well received by both CHWs and caregivers and was considered a good fit with the CHWs’ scope of work. Conclusions Based on these findings, delivery of the Amagugu Asakhula intervention is not recommended through public sector CHWs in South Africa. This feasibility study informs the optimisation of implementation and supports further testing of the intervention’s effectiveness when delivered by CHWs linked to community-based organisations. The present study further demonstrates how implementation challenges can be identified through qualitative feasibility studies and subsequently addressed prior to large-scale trials, avoiding the wasting of research and resources.

AbstractDuring the ongoing pandemic, there have been varying presentations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, with the concern that patients who are immunosuppressed (due to underlying medical conditions and/or therapies) are at higher risk of severe disease. We report the case of an elderly renal transplant recipient working in a long-term health care facility who was being monitored by weekly surveillance testing and tested positive for COVID-19 by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, despite having no clinical symptoms. He recovered with supportive care, despite being on multiple long-term immunosuppressant drugs and having multiple comorbidities. Additionally, it was found that he did not mount an antibody response, when he tested negative by serologic testing. Through this case, we wish to highlight the unique clinical scenario of asymptomatic patients who may have an underwhelming immune response to COVID-19, but may nevertheless be an important source of dissemination. We further discuss the probable mechanism of such asymptomatic presentations in immunosuppressed patients, while reinforcing the importance of self-isolation of COVID-19 patients (particularly in asymptomatic health care workers).

OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for death among patients with severe asthma. METHODS: This was a nested case-control study. Among the patients with severe asthma treated between December of 2002 and December of 2010 at the Central Referral Outpatient Clinic of the Bahia State Asthma Control Program, in the city of Salvador, Brazil, we selected all those who died, as well as selecting other patients with severe asthma to be used as controls (at a ratio of 1:4). Data were collected from the medical charts of the patients, home visit reports, and death certificates. RESULTS: We selected 58 cases of deaths and 232 control cases. Most of the deaths were attributed to respiratory causes and occurred within a health care facility. Advanced age, unemployment, rhinitis, symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease, long-standing asthma, and persistent airflow obstruction were common features in both groups. Multivariate analysis showed that male gender, FEV1 pre-bronchodilator < 60% of predicted, and the lack of control of asthma symptoms were significantly and independently associated with mortality in this sample of patients with severe asthma. CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort of outpatients with severe asthma, the deaths occurred predominantly due to respiratory causes and within a health care facility. Lack of asthma control and male gender were risk factors for mortality.
