Degree Of Order

As the health care industry adopts the language of more commercially oriented industries, terms such as best practice emerge in the health literature (Health and Community Services Victoria, 1995). This occurs often without qualification or definition and in different contexts. Consequently, there is a need to develop consistency in the use of such terms and some understanding of the concepts. This discussion revolves around the answers to questions which it is hoped will provide a framework for consistency in the use of the term best practice. As language evolves, meanings change as understanding increases and the context of usage alters. Therefore, it is neither claimed that this analysis is unchallengeable, nor that the definition is absolute. It is simply an attempt to create a degree of order in the debate on best practice; a term which has been used loosely. The two principal questions to be addressed are: what is the meaning of best practice? and is it a concept that has anything of value to offer health service management and service delivery?

The concept of Primary Health Service Management Model “Andal” (LKP Andal) in Indonesia was initiated by the Public Health Association of Brawijaya University (IKEMAS UB) to solve the health service management problem in Indonesia. LKP Andal was piloted into a first-level organization that provide the health service/facility in PG Kebonagung polyclinic in Malang district.This research uses a service design approach to explore the problems and this study also provide a service solution to the LKP Andal implementation in IT perspective that suits to the organization characteristics as an entirely service delivery process support. As the result, this study has explored 23 main problems of the entirely service delivery process and also resulted 4 service solution ideas which were visualized using Service Journey Modelling Language (SJML) to acquire more detailed images and they can become the standard communication among stakeholders.

The application of social networks in the health domain has become increasingly prevalent. They are web-based technologies which bring together a group of people and health-care providers having in common health-related interests, who share text, image, video and audio contents and interact with each other. This explains the increasing amount of attention paid to this topic by researchers who have investigated a variety of issues dealing with the specific applications in the health-care industry. The aim of this study is to systematize this fragmented body of literature, and provide a comprehensive and multi-level overview of the studies that has been carried out to date on social network uses in healthcare, taking into account the great level of diversity that characterizes this industry. To this end, we conduct a scoping review enabling to identify the major research streams, whose aggregate knowledge are discussed according to three levels of analysis that reflect the viewpoints of the major actors using social networks for health-care purposes, i.e., governments, health-care providers (including health-care organizations and professionals) and social networks’ users (including ill patients and general public). We conclude by proposing directions for future research.

Antitrust Laws

AbstractIn National Gerimedical Hospital and Gerontology Center v. Blue Cross of Kansas City, the United States Supreme Court held that there is no blanket exemption from antitrust laws for health planning activities.‘The Court also held that no specific immunity can be granted where the challenged health planning activity is not undertaken pursuant to a federal regulatory scheme. This Comment reviews the Court’s decision and concludes that the Court correctly determined that the challenged activities did not qualify for an exemption. The Comment also examines the implications of the Court's statement that, where Congress has manifested a belief that competition is ineffective in the health care industry, application of the antitrust laws should be modified. The Comment recommends that an intermediate review standard such as the “presumptive, incentive modifying approach” should be used by future courts in deciding whether the ineffectiveness of competition in a given area of health planning activity warrants immunity from antitrust scrutiny.
