Résumé
Objective:The aim of this study is to establish an evaluation framework for an integrated health care service system,which provides evidence for the further construction of the evaluation index system. Methods:A sys-tematic review,thematic system and expert consultation were synthetically used to screen,construct and improve the evaluation framework of the integrated health care service system. Results:The results of this study show that the fi-nalized evaluation framework of the integrated health care system contains 4 first-level indexes which include system integration,organizational integration,professional integration and service integration; and 25 corresponding second level indictors. Conclusions:The evaluation framework of the integrated health care service system constructed in this study has a strong effectiveness and suitability, which lays a good foundation for further development of the corre-sponding evaluation index system.
Résumé
Objective To analyze the performance evaluation framework and construction pathway model of international health system,and study the main theories,methods and laws of the framework construction systematically.Methods Descriptive systematic review was used to retrieve the literature, and the ideal type method was used to construct the critical pathway model,for a study of the frameworks.Results The performance evaluation framework is constructed by defining the five steps:the construction purposes,health system boundary,health system goal,health systems architecture,and health systems framework dimensions.Conclusions Purpose determines the function type of the framework,while the boundary and target determine the structure of the framework jointly.Generalized model of the health system structure and the narrowed model of the healthcare system are widely used in the health system performance evaluation.The construction of the bridge between obj ectives and structures of the health system is still faced with challenges.
Résumé
National Health Information System is mainly used to support decision-making and to improve the current national health situation.Its importance to display the current national health situation and its problems in developing countries were analyzed with the need to construct its effective evaluation framework system pointed out.Construc-tion of UML-based evaluation framework system for National Health Information System was proposed in order to support decision-making and to provide evidence for the health policy makers by comparing the evaluation frame-work systems for National Health Information System in developing countries .
Résumé
Objective To explore a new evaluation framework for talented professionals in science and technology, and design an appropriate methodology and management mechanism.Methods Key evaluation indicators were set according to the organization′s strategic objectives and innovation elements.Following the introduction to new concepts of evaluation, methods and steps were designed that could analyze evaluation results using the radar chart to achieve full-dimensional identification of different indicators, scopes or levels.Results and Conclusion A pluggablehierarchical management mechanism was established, and an organic architecture that involved data, evaluation logics and operation management was constructed.A pilot study was carried out in an institution of military medical sciences to verify the applicability of this framework.
Résumé
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to develop an evaluation framework for QI activity in medical institutions and to analyze QI activity cases by applying the developed evaluation framework. METHOD: A four-phase process was employed to develop the evaluation framework, and a descriptive survey was used for the QI case study. Data were collected in April, 2010 by examining 157 QI activity cases presented at conferences and published in Journal of Korean Society of Quality Assurance in Health Care over the past three years. Developed QI activity evaluation instruments were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 18.0 for Windows program. RESULT: A QI Activity Evaluation Framework was developed. This framework consisted of 45 items. The department with the highest level of QI participation was the nursing department. The most frequent QI activity theme was patient safety. QI activity levels in Korean medical institutions are relatively equalized without significant differences according to institution characteristics. CONCLUSIONS: From the quality aspect of QI activity, more systematic and scientific approaches are required to upgrade QI activity. This study could provide methodological guidelines for QI activity and be useful in setting goals and directions for QI activity in medical institutions in Korea.
