AimThe major objectives of this study were to evaluate the existing pediatrics health care service provisions and utilizations of the public polyclinics in Barbados. Furthermore, the aim was to assess if the existing manpower resources were adequate.BackgroundBarbados has a mixed health care system consisting of both a socialized and a private health care system. The Ministry of Health commissioned a needs assessment survey of the pediatrics primary health care at the public polyclinics.MethodsPrimary data were collected through interviews with the public primary health care providers. Secondary data were collected from the Barbados Census Data and Ministry of Health statistics. Data were analyzed to assess the pediatrics primary health care service utilization and adequacy of existing resources at the polyclinics.FindingsIn 2012, there were 62 934 visits from children <16 years of age to the public polyclinics in Barbados and this accounted for 39.1% of all visits (both adults and children) to the polyclinics. An overall 16.7% of the visits were from children less than five years old to the Well Child Clinic for immunization and for growth and development monitoring; 32% of all physician consultations at the polyclinics were for children <16 years. Utilization of health services by children at the polyclinics was 5245 visits/month. Given an expected monthly demand for 10 822 visits from children, the polyclinics serve 48.5% of the primary health care demand for children in Barbados.ConclusionsThe public polyclinics play a pivotal role in the pluralistic primary health care system in Barbados. They fulfill nearly half of all the primary care demand and more importantly provides for almost the entire immunization demand, and thereby ensuring high coverage.The existing resources, if used optimally, would reduce the long consultation time observed in this setting, and thereby increase the capacity considerably.

For the last few decades, demographic changes require new and expensive medical innovations, which ultimately put the health care system under financial pressure. Therefore, provision of efficient services for the sustainability in health care system is mandatory. The objective of this study is to explore the performance of health care services provided in 55 OIC member countries during 2011 and 2015.The bootstrap Data Envelopment Analysis and Truncated regression approach have been applied to observe the health system and estimate the efficiency score  in 55 OIC member countries. The findings of DEA show that cost efficiency (CE), technical efficiency (TE) and allocative efficiency (AE) of health care system of OIC member countries on average are 0.52, 0.72, and 0.70, respectively. It indicates that OIC countries are not good at selecting cost efficient input mix. The results of truncated regression approach indicate that out-pocket health expenditures is the most important determinant relative to other indicators. It is suggested that it is hard to improve the overall health system at most efficient level. For this purpose there is a need to educate the mass and provide the better opportunities so that people can earn handsome amount, through which they may have better health care.

Abstract The perspective of homeless adults on their health care service utilization is not well studied. This article describes a study that used in-depth, semistructured interviews with 18 individuals to highlight the viewpoints of homeless people who are frequent users of the emergency department (ED) about the influence of life events on service utilization. Participants reported high levels of pain and comorbid psychiatric, substance use, and medical conditions. They also reported an identifiable pattern of health care utilization, often centered on a crisis event, influenced by high perceived medical needs, inability to cope after crisis, predisposing vulnerability from social determinants of health, and health care system factors. A social work case management intervention often led to a period of stability and use of ED alternatives. Modifiable targets for intervention at the health care system and local levels include improving trust and convenience of ED alternatives, enhancing consistency of care at ED-alternative sites, and educating those at risk of frequent ED use about community alternatives.
