The main goal of this research is the characterization of 612 patients who attend and register in the dental diagnostic and emergency clinic (CIDU) at Universidad del Valle, school of dentistry,in Cali Colombia. The fieldwork for this research was carried out between February 7 and December 16, 2011.

Health Care Policies

AbstractOver the last decades, rationing of medical treatment in the National Health Service (NHS) has moved from implicit to being increasingly explicit about what is being denied and about the procedures and reasons for such decisions. This article argues that the courts have had an important role in this process. By applying a heightened scrutiny of rationing decisions, courts have forced health authorities to make better-informed decisions and to take procedural justice more seriously to comply with, respond to and avoid judicial review. The analysis in this article reveals that litigation has contributed to incremental, but significant and enduring, changes in a social policy. It also offers insights to the paradoxes of judicial accountability in health care policies.

Background: Socioeconomic development in Malaysia and the call for Universal health coverage has resulted in comprehensive health care being easily available and accessible at an exceptionally low cost to the people. The aim was to study the health utilization pattern of a semi-urban community to determine their health seeking preference, to understand the extent to which the medical facilities are being used by them and their level of satisfaction with the services received.Methods: We used a pre-tested structured questionnaire, with face-to-face interview of representatives of randomly selected households in 2 housing estates in Kedah. The questionnaire covered education level, income, and information relevant to health service utilization. Data, after verification was transcribed into excel and analysed using Epiinfo7.2.Results: Out of 112 households visited, 80.3% was in the B40 group. Of all, 96 (85.7%) individuals chose Government healthcare with no significant difference between the B40 and others (p=0.3). Currently 52.6% have children utilizing child health services and 47.1% utilizing the maternal health services. Most (70.5%), irrespective of education level do not go for general checkup. Those that do, have an underlying medical condition. Payments for hospitalization and medications were done by 38.4% and 30.3% respectively. Most frequent investigation was X-ray, ECG, and ultrasonography. Dental checkup accounted for 50.7% of type of service utilized. Overall, 63.4% of respondents were satisfied with the level of healthcare in the country.Conclusions: This community opts for Government health care and is generally satisfied with the level of care provided.

This paper questions the conventional assumption that additional resources are the best way of improving the quality of care provided under a nation's health service. It also challenges the proposition that some diseases will always remain simply too expensive to treat. It is pointed out that the proportion of health care concerned with life and death situations is extremely small, and that the total needs related with these aspects of medical care are quite limited. Extensive evidence is quoted to the effect that in other aspects of medical treatment, dealing with chronic progressive illness and with relatively trivial disease, there is substantial misuse of resources. This arises primarily because the present patterns of morbidity and of demand for medical care have not yet been fully appreciated. In addition, administrative inefficiency has added to the wasteful use of resources. The paper argues that it is only in the caring aspects of medicine, as opposed to its preventive and curative aspects, that the potential scope for improvement in quality of care is virtually unlimited.

Information system at community health center is an information system that has several activities, such as registration, medical record, health care, and reporting.  Day to day operation, community health service, is using process manually. It is cause the stack of service. Sometime, the patient has to wait within several times. For Further, the patient did not know that the queuing is full. In order to help the problem, this paper wants to show about E-Health as service software. The research is completed by conveying the model like UML diagram. The UML diagrams are consisting such as usecase, class, activity, and component. The sequence of system construct is using Prototype Paradigm. The result is the software which has ability to service patient start from registration, medical check, medical prescription, until reporting. As an impact for Community health service is the service more efficiency. The system is able to control the medicine and reporting on day to day operation.   REFERENCES[1] Susanto, Gunawan,” Sistem Informasi Rekam Medis PadaRumah Sakit Umum Daerah (RSUD) Pacitan Berbasis WebBase”.

Health Need

UNSTRUCTURED Though health and shelter are two basic human rights, millions of refugees around the world are deprived of these basic needs. Moreover, the mental health need is one of least priority issues for the refugees. Bangladesh a developing country in the Southeast Asia where the health system is fragile and the sudden influx of thousands of Rohingya put the system in a more critical situation. It is beyond the capacity of the country to provide the minimum mental health care using existing resource. However, the refuges need immediate and extensive mental health care as the trauma, torture and being uprooted from homeland makes them vulnerable for various mental. Telepsychiatry (using technology for mental health service) opened a new window to provide mental health service for them. Mobile phone opened several options to reach to the refugees, screen them with mobile apps, connect them with self-help apps and system, track their symptoms, provide distance intervention and train the frontline health workers about the primary psychological supports. The social networking sites give the opportunity to connect the refugees with experts, create peer support group and provide interventions. Bangladesh can explore and can use the telepsychiatry to provide mental health service to the rohingya people.
