Promotion of health services in a public pharmacy: Legal and economic approachThe statutory definition of a pharmacy determines it as a health care facility where authorized persons provide, in particular, pharmaceutical services. The pharmaceutical law system specifies the catalog of pharmacy tasks, the list of pharmaceutical services and the responsibilities of professional staff. However, it does not contain the accuracy of pharmaceutical care and pro-health services. Lack of precise legal regulations in this regard makes it difficult to carry out a basic pharmacy mission, namely public health protection. The pharmacy owner’s authority often has to make risky decisions at the frontier of the law. The unclear and imprecise nature of Polish pharmaceutical law often leads to over interpretation by pharmaceutical regulators and entails the risk of imposing high financial penalties on pharmacies.This article is intended to indicate the area of health-care activity of a pharmacy, which is not specified in the law, which is the provision of additional services defi ned in the system of law as “other activities”. On the basis of the analysis of the legal acts and the judgements of the administrative courts, a detailed analysis of the Polish pharmaceutical law system was made as regards the admissibility of the provision of health services in pharmacies. The analysis indicates that there exists the legal gap in the system of Polish pharmaceutical law, liquidation of which nobody cares.

Ponomarova O. Some aspects of means of individualization on the market of medical and pharmaceutical services. The article deals with some aspects of means of individualization in the market of medical and pharmaceutical services. Of particular importance is the identification of goods or services in the field of health care, in conditions of high competition in the pharmaceutical and medical markets, is for patients who consume (use) the product or service of this manufacturer, because brand awareness will not allow the patient to confuse one drug with another. Confusion in the names of medicines is quite common, but such confusion can lead to the appointment, purchase and use of a medicine with a similar name, which can have threatening consequences for human life and health.In the market of medical and pharmaceutical services, in most cases, we trace such means of individualization of participants in economic activities as trade names and trademarks (signs for goods and services). Individualization tools on the one hand individualize the entrepreneur (manufacturer) from a number of other participants in the market of medical and pharmaceutical services, and on the other - are a link between the manufacturer of the drug and the patient or between the doctor (health care facility / clinic) and the patient. A trade name is a designation under which an entity may act in a business relationship. Trademarks intended to identify and individualize the goods (services) of the manufacturer (provider) are usually associated with the name of the doctor who provides medical services or with the name of the medicinal product under which the medicinal product enters into commercial circulation and is sold on market of medical and pharmaceutical goods.There are many lawsuits regarding the similarity of the trade name of a medicinal product to another. In Ukraine, the owner of a trademark for a medicinal product may apply for protection of his rights against unfair competition to the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine and to the court for protection of infringed intellectual property rights to the mark.Companies that manufacture medicines in the process of creating a new drug name must remember that the main function of the brand name of the drug is to protect patients from misleading them, as well as to prevent medical errors due to the similarity of drug names, which can lead to to risks to life and health of patients. At the same time, the correctly and successfully chosen trade name of the drug plays an important commercial and legal role in the implementation of pharmaceutical companies in the market of medicines.Key words: means of individualization, trademark, medicine, pharmacy, intellectualproperty

ABSTRACT  Development in the health field today in addition to aiming for healing and recovery also to improve health and prevent the incidence of a disease in the community. The hospital is a place to provide health services for the community. The quality of health services can be seen from several perspectives: the perspective of the health care provider, the perspectives of the funder, the perspective of the owner of the health care facility and the patient's perspective. While patient satisfaction is the level of satisfaction experienced by patients after using health services. Quality of health services and customer satisfaction are the indicators of hospital service success. The purpose of this study was to know the description of patient satisfaction of referral of outpatient at District Hospital, Regional Hospital and Provincial Hospital. The study was conducted with cross sectional design, using questionnaire instrument. The respondent is an outpatient at the hospital who has finished receiving the service or finished treatment at the hospital, where if the patient age ≤ 15 years or difficult to communicate there must be a companion. Data retrieval is done by direct interviews to the patient or the patient's companion. The result of the research shows the description of satisfaction respondent/outpatient exit interview in the hospital that overall more than 80% of respondents /outpatient satisfied to service given in the hospital. Respondents/outpatients who work more satisfied than those who do not work, and non-PBI participants are more satisfied than the PBI participants. The conclusions of this study, most of the respondents / outpatients in hospitals are satisfied with the services provided by the hospital.   Keywords: outpatient perception, service quality, hospital

Big data analysis has enhanced its demand nowadays in various sectors of health-care including pharmacovigilance. The exact definition of big data is not known to many people though it is routinely used by them. Big data refer to immense and voluminous computerized medical information which are obtained from electronic health records, administrative data, registries related to disease, drug monitoring, etc. This data are usually collected from doctors and pharmacists in a health-care facility. Analysis of big data in pharmacovigilance is useful for early raising of safety alerts, line listing them for signal detection of drugs and vaccines, and also for their validation. The present paper is intended to discuss big data analytics in pharmacovigilance focusing on global prospect and domestic country-India.

Little is known about services provided to children and youth (C/Y) discharged from an acute care facility. Recent research has provided a foundation for efforts to supplement or complement that early work. This research investigates post-acute care (PAC) in Texas. It focuses on what differentiates those discharges that receive PAC from those that do not and on what differentiates those C/Y who receive PAC in a health care facility from those who receive home health services. The results show that only 6.4% of discharges involving C/Y receive PAC and that many factors affected the 2 issues under investigation quite differently. These results clearly demonstrate the low prevalence of PAC use for C/Y and the clear preference of using PAC home health in this population.

Utilization Of Health Services

Background: Health care in India is a complex amalgam involving various stakeholders. For decades it has been a neglected area with reluctance in increasing the inputs such as finance or infrastructure required to drive this system. Utilization and access to this health system is a key indicator and major determinant of health seeking behaviour.Methods: This community based cross sectional study was conducted from January-February 2016 in, the urban slum located in a metro city using a pretested, semi-structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed using SPSS 22.Results: More than half of the participants preferred to seek treatment from a public health care facility compared to a private. One of the most predominant determining factors on choosing a particular health facility was affordability. Main barriers perceived in utilization of health services were long waiting time at the health facility and expenditure on treatment.Conclusions: The key for ensuring adequate and appropriate utilization of health care services is in having an efficient government health care delivery system which can offer quality and affordable medical care to one and all.

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.
