Integrated Care Pathways

Context: Integrated care pathways (ICPs) are an increasingly common approach to the standardization and integration of health-care practice in the NHS. They delineate interdisciplinary critical decision points and evidence-based daily treatment regimens for patients in specific disease groups. ICP champions assert that they have the potential to decrease medical errors, increase the accuracy of data capture, increase the efficiency of personnel and ultimately improve the quality of patient care. Despite the theoretical benefits of ICP use, there was anecdotal evidence of staff unease and audit evidence of variable compliance with ICPs at a district general hospital (DGH). Objective: This focus group study was one of the three interdependent methodologies used to investigate the attitudes of health-care professionals towards ICPs in a DGH. It was anticipated that thematic analysis of the focus group discussion would facilitate further the interpretation of qualitative data already analysed in a previous phase of the project, and inform the development of a survey questionnaire investigating the attitudes of the health-care professionals towards ICPs. Design: Ten focus groups comprising on average, six health-care professionals were conducted. The staff involved included doctors, nurses, professions allied to medicine, a member of the Community Health Council and non-clinical managers. The focus groups included staff with a range of seniority and speciality. Results: Analysis of the data achieved facilitated the confirmation and identification of themes underpinning the focus group discussion. These are reported here and illustrated by representative quotations. Conclusion: The focus group study provided a valuable insight into the attitudes regarding ICPs of over 60 health-care professionals. The themes identified were used to facilitate the development of a survey questionnaire to explore them in a quantifiable way. Focus group methodology proved to be a useful way to explore emerging issues in depth, and to observe areas of disagreement among staff.

AbstrakDi tingkat nasional dan daerah telah terdapat kebijakan publik, program dan kegiatan untuk menanggulangi HIV/AIDS, namun jumlah kasus HIV/AIDS meningkat setiap tahun. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui efektivitas collaborative governance antarpemangku kepentingan dalam pelayanan komprehensif berkesinambungan untuk menanggulangi HIV/AIDS di Kota Surakarta. Penelitian ini merupakan studi kasus jenis exploratory. Informan ditentukan dengan menggunakan purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada 2 Juli – 2 September 2013 dengan wawancara mendalam, observasi, focus group discussion, dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis data dengan model analisis interaktif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberi dan penerima layanan berperan dalam penanggulangan HIV/AIDS sesuai tugas dan fungsinya masing-masing. Program pencegahan dan penjangkauan, layanan kesehatan, reduksi bahaya, dan pemberdayaan belum efektif karena komitmen terhadap tujuan dan sikap saling percaya antarpemangku kepentingan belum optimal, petugas lapangan kurang profesional, terdapat konflik laten antarpemangku kepentingan, kurang optimalnya koordinasi antaranggota Komisi Penanggulangan AIDS Daerah Kota Surakarta dan rendahnya anggaran untuk penanggulangan HIV/AIDS karena HIV/AIDS belum menjadi isu prioritas dalam pembangunan daerah. Disimpulkan bahwa kolaborasi governance antarpemangku kepentingan belum efektif. Untuk meningkatkan kualitas dan efektivitas kolaborasi governance antarpemangku kepentingan, harus ada norma, struktur, dan proses yang jelas dalam menanggulangi HIV/AIDS.AbstractThere have been public policies, programs and activities to cope with HIV/AIDS in Indonesia at national and local level, but number of HIV/AIDScases is increasing every year. This study aimed to determine effectivity ofcollaborative governance between stakeholders in a sustainable comprehensive service to cope with HIV/AIDS in Surakarta City. This study was an exploratory study. Informants were selected using purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted on 2 July – 2 September 2013 using in-depth interview, observation, focus group discussion, and documentation. Technique of data analysis was an interactive analysis model. Results showed that service provider and receiver had taken roles in HIV/AIDS coping based on their own duty and function. Prevention and outreach, healthcare service, harm reduction and empowerment programs had not been yet effective because of less optimal commitment to purpose and mutual trust between stakeholders, less professional fieldworkers, latent conflict occurred between stakeholders, less optimal coordination between AIDS Coping Commission of Surakarta City members, and low budget for HIV/AIDS coping as HIV/AIDS is not yet a priority issue in regional development. In brief, collaborative governance between stakeholders is not yet efffective. To improve the quality and the collaborative governance effectivity between stakeholders, there should be any clear norm, structure and process in coping with HIV/AIDS.

Angka penderita HIV/AIDS yang tinggi menjadi salah satu masalah kesehatan di Kabupaten Jayawijaya. Keadaan sumber daya manusia dari sisi jumlah, kualifikasi, distribusi dan kapasitas menjadi salah satu faktor utama dalam penanggulangan HIV/AIDS di Kabupaten Jayawijaya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji keadaan sumber daya manusia dalam program penanggulangan HIV/AIDS di Kabupaten Jayawijaya. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara mendalam pada 18 inforaman dan 1 kelompok Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Penentuan informan penelitian dengan prosedur purposive, yang terdiri pejabat Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten, Komisi Penanggulangan AIDS Daerah, Kepala Puskesmas, Pemegang Program HIV/AIDS dan Non Government Organization. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sumber daya manusia untuk program penanggulangan HIV AIDS di Kabupaten Jayawijaya masih terjadi masalah pada sisi jumlah, kualifikasi, distribusi maupun peningkatan kapasitasnya. Kekurangan tenaga HIV AIDS terjadi pada tingkat Dinas Kesehatan dan Unit Pelayanan di Puskesmas. Hal ini menyebabkan penumpukan beban kerja tenaga karena harus merangkap sebagai programer kegiatan lainnya. Jenis tenaga HIV AIDS yang tidak mencukupi adalah tenaga analis kesehatan (tenaga laboratorium), tenaga apoteker, dokter, dan tenaga konselor HIV AIDS. Distribusi tenaga kesehatan masih banyak yang berpusat di daerah perkotaan. Dari sisi peningkatan kapasitas, Dinas Kesehatan telah rutin melakukan pelatihan kepada tenaga HIV AIDS, tetapi masalah yang terjadi adalah adanya fenomena pindah tugas tenaga kesehatan yang telah mengikuti pelatihan.

Assets church members believed they needed to engage in effective HIV/AIDS prevention and control activities. We used the three-step forum focus group discussion (FFGD) methodology to elicit responses from 32 church leaders and lay members, representing five denominations in Aba, Nigeria. Concrete resources, health expertise, finances, institutional support, capacity building, and spiritual support connected to the collective interest of members were indicated as useful for church members to engage in HIV/AIDS prevention and control activities. Adequate planning and delivery of cost-effective, appropriate and sustainable health promotion programs require an understanding of perceived church-based assets.
