Strategic Approach

During the past 10 years, financial pressures on health service providers have led toa quest for more efficient service delivery and many consequential changes to theorganisation and utilisation of staff. This study investigated the organisationalresponses to such pressures by four major South Australian hospitals and the level ofinvolvement of hospital human resource staff in the staffing issues associated withstrategic planning. With one exception, there was little contribution from qualifiedhuman resource professionals to staffing decisions involving medical and nursingpersonnel and little value was placed on their potential input by other professionalgroups. If, as suggested by writers on strategic human resource management, humanresource practice is moving toward a more strategic approach, then there is a largecredibility gap for human resource staff to overcome within the South Australianhealth service.

The article examines ICT use in health service provision in Namibia. The patterns of ICT use for health services by patients, public and private health service providers are not yet fully understood. This study describes ICT applications in health service delivery to patients in the Khomas and Oshana regions of Namibia. The study interviewed 134 patients and 21 health service providers. Factor analysis on ICT use identified three main factor groupings namely, ‘high technology’, ’mobile technology’ and ‘traditional technology’. Multinomial regression results showed the major factors affecting multiple ICT awareness in the two regions as functional literacy, diverse sources of health information services, age and educational level of the patients. Logistic regression results on individual ICT use identified functional literacy, personal privacy, cost of ICT, age, education, and positive perceptions about ICT applications in improving health services as statistically significant factors influencing adoption by both rural and urban patients in Namibia.
