The "one data" policy driven by the government through the Ministry of Health is believed to be able to innovate and give a new face to health services. Of course, the improvement of health services starts from the smallest and lowest layers, namely Polindes. Starting from this policy and the finding of relatively low public health service problems, the authors see a health service in Polindes, which contributes positively to improving the quality of public health services. The health service is the author's view of the communication perspective through the study of Communication in the Synergy of Public Health Services Polindes (Village Maternity Post) in Tarumajaya Village, Kertasari District, Bandung Regency. The method used in this research is a case study. The results of the study revealed that public health services in Polindes are inseparable from the communication process that exists in the village. The verbal communication process includes positive synergy between the communicator and the communicant. In this case, the communicators are village midwives, village officials, namely the village head and his staff, the sub-district health center, and the active role of the village cadres involved. In contrast, the communicant that was targeted was the community in the village of Tarumajaya. This positive synergy results in a marked increase in public services, namely by providing new facilities in the village, RTK (Birth Waiting Home).   Kebijakan “one data” yang dimotori oleh pemerintah melalui Kementerian kesehatan diyakini mampu membuat inovasi dan memberikan wajah baru terhadap layanan kesehatan. Tentunya, perbaikan layanan kesehatan tersebut dimulai dari lapisan terkecil dan terbawah yakni Polindes. Berawal dari kebijakan tersebut dan masih ditemukannya masalah pelayanan kesehatan publik yang relatif rendah, penulis melihat sebuah layanan kesehatan di Polindes, yang memberikan kontribusi positif dalam peningkatan kualitas layanan kesehatan masyarakat. Pelayanan kesahatan tersebut penulis lihat dari perpektif komunikasi melaui penelitian Komunikasi dalam Sinergi Pelayanan Kesehatan Publik Polindes (Pos Bersalin Desa) di Desa Tarumajaya, Kecamatan Kertasari, Kabupaten Bandung ini dilakukan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi kasus. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa pelayanan kesehatan publik di Polindes, tidak terlepas dari adanya proses komunikasi yang terjalin di desa tersebut. Proses komunikasi verbal tersebut meliputi sinergitas positif antara pihak komunikator dan komunikan. Dalam hal ini, komunikator tersebut adalah Bidan Desa, Aparat Desa yakni Kepala Desa beserta staffnya, Puskesmas tingkat kecamatan, serta peran aktif dari para kader desa yang terlibat. Sedangkan komunikan yang menjadi target adalah masyarakat di desa Tarumajaya. Sinergitas positif tersebut menghasilkan peningkatan pelayanan publik yang nyata, yaitu dengan adanya penyediaan fasilitas baru di desa, RTK (Rumah Tunggu Kelahiran).

Community-based mental health services are important for the treatment and recovery of patients with mental health disorders. The Chinese government has made the establishment of a highly efficient community-based health service an enduring priority. Since the 1960s, community-based mental health services have been developed in many Chinese cities and provinces. National policies, including mental health regulations and five-year national mental health working plans, have been issued to support the development of quality of mental health services. The accessibility and efficiency of community-based mental health services are now highly promoted to community residents. According to the National Standards for Primary Public Health Services, community-based mental health services are one of the most important components of primary public health services. They are mainly provided via Community Health Service Centres (CHCs), by a combination of general practitioners, public health physicians, nurses and social workers. Patients receive individualized and continuous health services according to their rehabilitation status. These services include regular physical examination, health education, rehabilitation guidance, social function rehabilitation training, vocational training and referral services; family members also receive care and psychological support. Future work will focus on expanding mental health service coverage and usage, increasing awareness of mental health and decreasing stigma, and strengthening service capability to establish an integrated model to enhance the overall efficiency of mental health services.

Abstract Background: Village doctors face many challenges in providing the National Essential Public Health Service (NEPHS) program, and many factors affect the provision of these services. However, there are no studies (particularly quantitative analyses) regarding the workload of public health services provided by village doctors. In this study, we aimed to develop a quantitative analysis approach to measure the workload of NEPHS provided by village doctors in six provinces of China in 2016. Methods: Based on survey data from 300 town hospital centers (THCs) located in 60 counties in the six selected provinces, we calculated village doctors’ share of workload under the NEPHS using the equivalent value (EV) model. To define the workload and corresponding EV of each NEPHS, a series of five meetings was held with THC managers, public health workers, family physicians, nurses and village doctors. Field observations were conducted to verify the workload and EV of each service. Results: Village doctors’ share of the workload under the NEPHS program was 47.0% across the 300 sampled THCs in six provinces. The village doctors’ workload shares for different NEPHS ranged from 17.1% to 57.0%. The percentage workload undertaken by village doctors under the NEPHS program varied across different provinces, with the highest proportion 63.4% and the lowest 28.5%. Conclusions: The total NEPHS workload assigned to village doctors by THCs in the six sampled provinces exceeded the Chinese government’s requirement of 40%, but the workload proportion in some provinces was less than 40%. We suggest that local governments conduct district-level analysis of the workload among village doctors under the NEPHS program using the EV method, to identify priorities and influencing factors and implement targeted measures to promote health service provision. An EV model of the NEPHS could be built to monitor village doctors’ workload and ensure that assigned workloads are manageable.

Abstract BackgroundProviding essential public health services equally to all Chinese is one of the objectives of health system reform since 2009. Essential public health service program is to provide a package of public health services for all Chinese freely by the primary health institutions. Since the implementation of the national essential public health service program, the level of funding and the intensity of input have been continuously increasing. However, in the context of China’s economic development entering a new normal phase, the growth rate of funding for essential public health services has far exceeded the growth rate of GDP and central fiscal revenue, and the sustainability of the development of national essential public health service programs has been seriously challenged. Improving the efficiency of resource use may be an effective way to ensure the continuation of the national essential public health service program. But little evidence was available about technical efficiency in essential public health services provision. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the technical efficiency of essential public health services in Shandong province.Methods This study was a retrospective study based on the historical panel data of Shandong Province, East China. The data came from the Shandong Provincial Essential public health Service Program Database of the Medical Management Center of Shandong Provincial Health Commission, which covered all 137 counties and districts in 16 cities of Shandong Province from 2014 to 2019. The principal component analysis method was used to classify multiple output indicators of essential public health service programs, so as to achieve the purpose of generic index extraction. The efficiency coefficient transformation analysis method was used to transform the data of each principal component score after the principal component analysis of the input index of essential public health service programs. The CCR model and BBC model in the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method were used to calculate the comprehensive technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency of essential public health services.ResultsThe average comprehensive technical efficiency of essential public health services in Shandong Province showed a slight downward trend from 0.8896 in 2014 to 0.8753 in 2019. The average pure technical efficiency of essential public health services was kept at 0.99. The average scale efficiency of essential public health services showed a slight downward trend from 0.8871 in 2014 to 0.8744 in 2019. The proportion of counties and districts with the comprehensive technical efficiency of essential public health services in Shandong Province was increased from 15.3% in 2014 to 21.9% in 2019. But the proportion of counties with the pure technical efficiency decreased from 38.0% in 2014 to 35.9% in 2019. The proportion of counties with scale efficiency of essential public health services showed an upward trend, rising from 14.8% in 2014 to 22.6% in 2019, increasing by 7.8%.The ratio of effective comprehensive technical efficiency of essential public health services in Shandong Province to all counties and districts has shown a upward trend. Among them, the proportion of counties with effective pure technical efficiency was higher than the proportion of counties with efficient scale efficiency each year. At the same time, the increase in the proportion of counties with effective scale efficiency was higher than the increase in the proportion of counties with effective pure technical efficiency. The increasing proportion of effective counties in the comprehensive technical efficiency of essential public health services in Shandong Province was mainly due to the increasing proportion of effective counties in the scale efficiency and the good performance of effective counties in the pure technical efficiency. This showed that, although the investment scale of Shandong Province in the counties was gradually sufficient, there was still a phenomenon of insufficient resource investment in most counties. That would ultimately affect the sustainability of the implementation of essential public health services.Conclusion The research have demonstrated that the technical efficiency of essential public health services in Shandong Province has shown a slight downward trend, and the main reason for its downward trend was the decline in scale efficiency. The scale efficiency in essential public health services affected the technical efficiency and would ultimately threaten the sustainable development of essential public health services. It is recommended that future research directions should focus on the influencing factors and improvement measures of the scale efficiency of essential public health services.

This study examines the actions of maladministration frauds in health services particularly in the condition of Covid-19. This study aims to formulate which health services are categorized as maladministration, notably during the Covid-19 pandemic. The method used in this study is a normative research method followed by three approaches. Those approaches are the statutory approach, conceptual approach, and historical approach. The outcomes of this study indicate that the condition of the Covid-19 pandemic has opened some opportunity for maladministration fraud in the field of health services. Given the importance of public health services, notably during the Covid-19 pandemic, it is highly important to anticipate the maladministration frauds to not massively occur. When the acts of maladministration frauds still occur although attempts to prevent it have been carried out, hence the law must be present to provide justice. This paper also elucidates about actions need to be taken so that law enforcement related to maladministration frauds in the field of health services can be solved

Abstract Background: People’s satisfaction has been one important indicator to measure the health care quality in health systems. Medial resource allocation issues have also become an important concern affecting the equity and satisfaction of health service. This study aimed to study the factors affecting people's satisfaction with the services of public health management in China. Specifically, we examine the association between medical resource allocation and satisfaction with the services of public health management.Methods: To explore the associations between medical resource allocation and satisfaction with services of public health management in China, we derived data from the 2013 wave of the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS). Models were estimated using multivariable logistic regression analysis.Results: Among factors of evaluation of medical resource allocation, adequacy of medical service resources, market-oriented and insufficiently public of public health services, and convenience of access to public health services were all significantly associated with satisfaction with services of public health management except the balance of medical service resources' distribution. Also, for different service projects and areas, the link between satisfaction with health service and residents’ characteristics also depends on specific service content.Conclusions: There is a link between medical resource allocation and satisfaction with the services of public health management. Medical resource allocation does affect satisfaction with services of public health management. It is necessary to improve the adequacy, publicity of medical services, and convenience of access to public health services in China.
