Developing the resilience of hospitals in this period of crisis is no longer a choice but rather has become a matter of course for survival. The use of this concept to understand how organizations can overcome the current crisis seems relevant insofar as the research will first identify the human and organizational constraints that are a source of vulnerability for public hospitals and then understand the main practices undertaken by the university hospital to deal with the COVID-19 crisis in terms of the HR function, and finally see to what extent these practices can contribute to the resilience of the public hospital.

Background. The safe use of medicines largely relies on consumers reading the labeling and packaging carefully and accurately, and being able to comprehend and act on the information presented. We aimed to conduct local study on consumers’ perceptions, attitudes and use of written drug information. Methods. A survey included 200 adults of the public in 13 community pharmacies and one main hospital (the University Hospital) in Tripoli city of Libya, using a structured interview technique. Results. The results showed that 73% of participants read drug labels with variation from always (39.72 %) to rarely (10.95%). About 42.46% of pharmacy customers read the Patients Package Inserts (PPIs) routinely, however; 53.42% of them faced difficulties in understanding the labelling. Foreign languages and small font sizes of written information were the most barriers to participants` comprehensibility (44.69 %, 34%) respectively. The findings indicated that 59 % of the respondents were used to obtain information from pharmacists. Despite the relatively high rate of reading to drug labels among pharmacy customers; more than half of them were unable to interpret information correctly. Conclusion. The study demonstrated the need for the implementation of educational and awareness programs for patients by pharmacists to improve the health literacy of medication labels. Steps must be taken to ensure that medicines in Libyan market are supplied with bilingual and non-technical language labels.

Public Hospital Reform

The public hospital reform has lasted 5 years in China; however, the operation development status and trends of public hospitals have not been systematically evaluated in Pudong New District. We first applied the technology of longitudinal index to assess the development of public hospitals there. The quantitative data were mainly gathered by taking health statistics database from 2009 to 2014. The results showed that overall operating index presented a down-up trend, with the highest point in 2014 and the lowest point in 2012. Overall operating index, development foundation index, and management condition index were found to be statistically different ( P = .010, P = .016, P = .031) in different years, whereas the service operation index and financial risk index were not so ( P = .543, P = .228). Moreover, the results demonstrated that no obvious difference was observed in the overall operating index between the general and specialized hospitals ( P = .327), which was the same in the 4 first-class indexes. However, there were statistical differences in the overall operating index and development foundation index among these 5 years ( P = .018, P = .036), but none in the service operation index, management condition index, and financial risk index ( P = .503, P = .062, P = .177). No interaction effects were discovered between year and hospital categories in the current study ( P = .673, P = .375, P = .885, P = .152, P = .288).

It is no secret, unhappily, that the study of theatre in the colleges and universities of this country is a discipline under siege, but the severity of the problems received strong confirmation in New York State this fall when two of the most distinguished and long-established (over a century in both cases) programs in the country were, with little warning, faced with draconian cuts or outright extinction. The fact that one, the state University of Albany, was the flagship school of the public system, and the other, Cornell University, was one of the state's most distinguished private institutions, suggests the scope and impact of these actions. At Albany, four other programs are being terminated along with theatre—Classics, Russian, Spanish, and French—while at Cornell the extent of the severe cuts imposed on the theatre program—almost a quarter of the total budget of the department (which also shelters dance and film)—are being suffered by no other program in the university. The prominence of these two schools in a state that has long claimed a central position in American theatre makes them particularly significant symbolically of a discipline in crisis, and this has impelled me to engage in serious and sometimes painful reflections on that discipline, the basis of the present essay.

We mobilize theories of corporate governance and the theory of the social psychology of decision-making small groups to understand the operational process of the public hospital supervisory board. More precisely, we empirically test the mediation relationship of the decision-making process (effort norms, use of knowledge and skills, and conflict cognitive) between its structure (size, the composition, and diversity) and the performance of its roles (strategy, control, and service). A total of 320 questionnaires coming from members of the French public hospital supervisory board were collected. The aggregation of these individual answers generates a sample of 159 public hospital supervisory boards. The results of the tests of the assumptions of the research model confirm the fact that the structure of the supervisory board does not influence the performance of its roles. However, supervisory board effort norms positively affect the performance of its roles positively. Only effort norms and the use of knowledge and the skills partially play the role of mediator between the supervisory board structure and the performance of its roles. Practical and theoretical implications are exposed in the discussion.

PURPOSE: Analyze the effect of some measures on the costs of bariatric surgery, adopting as reference the remuneration of the procedure provided by the Unified Health System (SUS). METHODS: A retrospective evaluation conducted in the Costs Section of the University Hospital of Ribeirão Preto, of the costs involved in the perioperative period for patients submitted to bariatric surgery from 2004 to 2007. Changes in the routines and protocols of the service aiming at the reduction of these costs during the study period were also analyzed. RESULTS: Nine patients in 2004 and seven in 2007 submitted to conventional vertical banded "Roux-en-Y" gastric bypass were studied. All patients presented good postoperative evolution. The average cost with these patients was R$ 6,845.17 in 2004. Even though an effort was made to contain expenditures, the cost in 2007 was of R$ 7,525.64 because of the increase in the price of materials and medicines. The Government remuneration of the procedure in the two years was R$ 3,259.72. CONCLUSION: Despite the adoption of diverse measures to reduce the expenditures of bariatric surgery, in fact there was an increase in the costs, a fact supporting the necessity of permanent evaluation of the financing of public health.

BACKGROUND:The patients' health care choice is diverting from the private health provider to the public hospital due to introduction of various schemes and incentives by the policy makers. The limited resources are posing a challenge to the hospital administrator in escalating demands, diversity and complexity of diseases of patients. The hospital performance enhances steadily by the monitoring authorities' surveillance. It is an effective method for improving quality care in the public hospital. The Hawthorne effect is a term referring to the tendency of people to work harder and increases in effectiveness of organization when they are being observed. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the performance of a teaching hospital during surveillance by calculating the hospital indices, using the Pabon Losso Model. 2. To evaluate whether the Hawthorne effect is the cause of the increase in the effectiveness of hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was a prospective and record based cross-sectional study and conducted at Government teaching hospital over a period of 18 months. RESULTS: st A total of 18 months period census report was recorded from January 2016 to June 2017and hospital indices were estimated. The 1 phase of surveillance (January- 2016 to May -2016), where immense supervision was present, with performance feed- back, BOR was 88.65, nd ALOS was 3.932, BTR was 7.074 and BTI was 0.54, 2 phase of surveillance which was intensied with communication and committee meetings rd (June-2016 to October- 2016), BOR was 95.59, ALOS was 3.49, BTR was 7.03 and BTI was 0.886, 3 phase weaning period, where a little th supervision (November -2016 to February-2017) BOR was 87.8, ALOS was 4.1, BTR was 6.413 and BTI was 0.5725 and 4 phase self sustain stage or no observations phase, BOR was 92.6, ALOS was 3.47, BTR was 6.547 and BTI was 0.28. CONCLUSION: The surveillance of higher authorities over the hospital had increased the performance. Hospital efciency is reected by increased hospital indices. The cause and effect is the “Hawthorne effect”. Therefore it is concluded that the surveillance increases the performance and efciency of the public hospitals.

Abstract Backgrounds Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women. Breast cancer imposes a considerable economic burden on the health system. This study aimed to compare the cost of breast cancer among patients who referred to private and public hospitals in Iran (2017). Methods This was a prevalence-based cost of illness study. A total of 179 patients were selected from private and public hospitals using the census method. The researcher-constructed checklist was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22. Results The estimated total mean (SD) direct cost of patients who referred to the private hospital and the public hospital was $10050 (19480) and $3960 (6780), respectively. Further, the total mean indirect cost of patients who referred to the private hospital was lower than those referring to the public hospital at $1870 (%15 of total costs) and $22350 (%85 of total costs), respectively. These differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Breast cancer imposes a substantial cost on patients, health insurance organizations and the whole society in Iran. Therefore, the adoption of effective measures for the prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer is urgently needed.
