The Way

Change is not a new phenomenon in the health care industry, and reactions to change are determined by many things—personal experiences and professional responsibilities to name a few. Gradual transformation in the way health care information is managed is now being met with an opportunity for swift and significant change with regard to how this information is aggregated and used. This article addresses these opportunities for change from an enterprise perspective.

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.

Using Data

ABSTRACT Objective: to investigate the evolution and estimate the shortage of Speech, Language and Hearing professionals in Primary Health Care between 2005 and 2015. Methods: a mixed ecological study using data from the National Registry of Health Facilities and the Primary Health Care Information System. A descriptive analysis regarding the evolution of the number of professionals working in Primary Health Care over this period, in Brazilian states and regions, was conducted. The ratio of professionals per 100,000 inhabitants for the years 2005, 2010 and 2015, and the shortages in 2015, were estimated. Results: in 2005, there were 1,717 professionals working in Primary Health Care, that is, one per 100,000 inhabitants. In 2015, there were 4,124, increasing to 2.1/100,000. In 2015, the shortage in supply was 55.1%, varying widely across the states. Conclusion: the shortage in supply is equivalent to an absence of Speech, Language and Hearing service coverage within Primary Health Care for more than half of the Brazilian population. It is worth noting that a conservative parameter was adopted to conduct this estimate. The results suggest a process of consolidation for the inclusion of Speech, Language and Hearing professionals within Primary Health Care, however, still characterized by insufficient and unequal supply across the nation.
