The qualitative experience of telehealth access and clinical encounters in Australian healthcare during COVID-19: implications for policy

Background Adaptive models of healthcare delivery, such as telehealth consultations, have rapidly been adopted to ensure ongoing delivery of essential healthcare services during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there remain gaps in our understanding of how clinicians have adapted to telehealth. This study aims to explore the telehealth experiences of specialists, based at a tertiary hospital in the Hunter Region, and general practitioners (GP), including barriers, enablers and opportunities. Methods An interpretative qualitative study involving in-depth interviews explored the telehealth experiences of specialists, based at a tertiary hospital in the Hunter Region of Australia, and GPs, including barriers, enablers and opportunities. Data were analysed using an inductive thematic approach with constant comparison. Results Individual interviews were conducted with 10 specialists and five GPs. Key themes were identified: (1) transition to telehealth has been valuable but challenging; (2) persisting telehealth process barriers need to be addressed; (3) establishing when face-to-face consults are essential; (4) changes in workload pressures and potential for double-up; (5) essential modification of work practices; and (6) exploring what is needed going forward. Conclusions While there is a need to rationalize and optimize health access during a pandemic, we suggest that more needs to be done to improve telehealth going forward. Our results have important policy implications. Specifically, there is a need to effectively train clinicians to competently utilize and be confident using this telehealth and to educate patients on necessary skills and etiquette.

Salutogenesis and the Sense of Coherence in Young Adults Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET)

In this chapter, the authors discuss the topic of young adults not in education, employment, or training (NEETs). Although estimates of the number of NEETs vary, the problem seems to be global and growing. The many programs that try to support NEETs fail to reach them and guide them successfully into work, housing, and social participation. Helping systems regard NEETs as patients, cases, or not yet enabled adults and thereby fail to meet their needs as well as their potential. Confronting the limits of current approaches, the authors emphasise the need for a salutogenic orientation in research and practice with NEETs. They provide guidance and inspiration for novel approches and describe promising NEET initiatives. These initiatives are characterised by having a genuine health orientation, NEET participation, the centrality of learning processes, and flexible, adaptive models of individual and social development in combination with enhanced employment, education, training, and entrepreneurship opportunities.

The forecasting potential of adaptive models in tourism

The article discusses forecasting as one of the special scientific research areas which contribute to the assessment of tourist activity development prospects, the identification of key tourism development factors and effective management decision criteria. The study provides an overview of modern research methods used in Russia and other countries for making forecasts in the field of tourism. It aims at assessing the predictive capabilities of adaptive modeling, not frequently used currently in tourism research, for the quantitative analysis of tourist flows using the example of Barcelona, a major urban tourist destination in the pre-pandemic period. An example of a forecast for tourist numbers based on adaptive models is proposed, one of the key indicators showing tourist region success which have proven successful in the study of processes with a dynamic but unstable character.

ADAPTIVE MODELS OF MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES OF MANAGEMENT

The key tasks to be solved in the process of financial and economic activity of the enterprise are to ensure its economic development and strengthen its competitive position. The solution of such important tasks is taking place today in the financial and economic crisis, high dynamics of the external environment, the significant influence of risk factors, which necessitates the search for optimal management methods. In such conditions, the use of the principles of adaptive enterprise management, which are the most suitable tools for use in conditions of a high level of uncertainty and unstable business environment, becomes es-pecially relevant. A wide range of scientific works is devoted to the study of theoretical and practical issues of forming the optimal system of enterprise management in conditions of uncertainty, however, the analysis of scientific literature indicates insufficient study of the potential of adaptive models in the management of financial and economic activities. The purpose of the study is to study scientific approaches to the use of adaptive tools in the management of financial and economic activities of the enterprise. The article studies theoretical and methodological approaches to the implementation of the adaptive principle in the management of the financial and economic activities of an enterprise. In the course of the study, an adaptive-functional model for managing the financial and economic activities of an enterprise has been developed. The presented model provides an increase in the effective-ness of the management system of the financial and economic activities of the enterprise based on a combination of adaptive and functional approaches to enterprise management, and also helps to reduce the level of risk generated in the process of financial and economic activities of the enterprise by reducing the degree of uncertainty in the economic environment and increasing the level of adaptability of the system management. Further research can be aimed at optimizing analytical tools for adaptive management of financial and economic activities of the enterprise.Keywords: model, principles of enterprise management, economic efficiency, risk, strategic management, adaptation, adap-tive-functional management model, adaptive management, the concept of managing financial and economic activities.
