Abstract Background In recent years, health centers in the United States have embraced the opportunity to train the next generation of health professionals. The uniqueness of the health centers as teaching settings emphasizes the need to determine if health professions training programs align with health center priorities and the nature of any adjustments that would be needed to successfully implement a training program. We sought to address this need by developing and validating a new survey that measures organizational readiness constructs important for the implementation of health professions training programs at health centers where the primary role of the organizations and individuals is healthcare delivery. Methods The study incorporated several methodological steps for developing and validating a measure for assessing health center readiness to engage with health professions programs. A conceptual framework was developed based on literature review and later validated by 20 experts in two focus groups. A survey-item pool was generated and mapped to the conceptual framework and further refined and validated by 13 experts in three modified Delphi rounds. The survey items were pilot-tested with 212 health center employees. The final survey structure was derived through exploratory factor analysis. The internal consistency reliability of the scale and subscales was evaluated using Chronbach’s alpha. Results The exploratory factor analysis revealed a 41-item, 7-subscale solution for the survey structure, with 72% of total variance explained. Cronbach’s alphas (.79–.97) indicated high internal consistency reliability. The survey measures: readiness to engage, evidence strength and quality of the health professions training program, relative advantage of the program, financial resources, additional resources, implementation team, and implementation plan. Conclusions The final survey, the Readiness to Train Assessment Tool (RTAT), is theoretically-based, valid and reliable. It provides an opportunity to evaluate health centers’ readiness to implement health professions programs. When followed with appropriate change strategies, the readiness evaluations could make the implementation of health professions training programs, and their spread across the United States, more efficient and cost-effective. While developed specifically for health centers, the survey may be useful to other healthcare organizations willing to assess their readiness to implement education and training programs.

Abstract Background Rural access to health care remains a challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa due to urban bias, social determinants of health, and transportation-related barriers. Health systems in Sub-Saharan Africa often lack equity, leaving disproportionately less health center access for the poorest residents with the highest health care needs. Lack of health care equity in Sub-Saharan Africa has become of increasing concern as countries enter a period of simultaneous high infectious and non-communicable disease burdens, the second of which requires a robust primary care network due to a long continuum of care. Bicycle ownership has been proposed and promoted as one tool to reduce travel-related barriers to health-services among the poor. Methods An accessibility analysis was conducted to identify the proportion of Ugandans within one-hour travel time to government health centers using walking, bicycling, and driving scenarios. Statistically significant clusters of high and low travel time to health centers were calculated using spatial statistics. Random Forest analysis was used to explore the relationship between poverty, population density, health center access in minutes, and time saved in travel to health centers using a bicycle instead of walking. Linear Mixed-Effects Models were then used to validate the performance of the random forest models. Results The percentage of Ugandans within a one-hour walking distance of the nearest health center II is 71.73%, increasing to 90.57% through bicycles. Bicycles increased one-hour access to the nearest health center III from 53.05 to 80.57%, increasing access to the tiered integrated national laboratory system by 27.52 percentage points. Significant clusters of low health center access were associated with areas of high poverty and urbanicity. A strong direct relationship between travel time to health center and poverty exists at all health center levels. Strong disparities between urban and rural populations exist, with rural poor residents facing disproportionately long travel time to health center compared to wealthier urban residents. Conclusions The results of this study highlight how the most vulnerable Ugandans, who are the least likely to afford transportation, experience the highest prohibitive travel distances to health centers. Bicycles appear to be a “pro-poor” tool to increase health access equity.

Abstrak Masalah balita gizi buruk cenderung menurun pada tahun 2018, namun di beberapa daerah kasus gizi buruk meningkat menjadi KLB. Salah satu penanganannya melalui pemulihan di puskesmas. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui sejauh mana penanganan gizi buruk dilakukan oleh tenaga kesehatan puskesmas dan kader posyandu. Desain penelitian menggunakan pendekatan mix methods, berlokasi di Kalimantan Barat, Banten, Jawa Barat dan Nusa Tenggara Timur. Dua kabupaten dipilih dari masing-masing provinsi, selanjutnya dari tiap kabupaten diambil satu puskesmas yang banyak kasus gizi buruk. Informan penelitian adalah Tenaga Pelaksana Gizi (TPG) puskesmas dan kader posyandu. Data yang dikumpulkan meliputi pelayanan gizi dan kesehatan, makanan terapi, dan penyuluhan serta peranan kader. Cara pengumpulan data dengan wawancara, in-depth interview dan diskusi kelompok terarah. Analisis data kuantitatif disajikan secara deskriptif dan kualitatif dengan content analysis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar puskesmas di daerah penelitian menangani gizi buruk dengan cara rawat jalan. Belum semua TPG puskesmas mendapat pelatihan gizi buruk, hanya sebagian puskesmas menggunakan makanan terapi sedangkan lainnya menggunakan makanan tambahan yang tidak sesuai dengan pedoman. Dukungan sebagian kader dalam penanganan gizi buruk di puskesmas berupa penemuan kasus gizi buruk dan merujuknya, membagikan PMT ke rumah balita. Penanganan balita gizi buruk di puskesmas belum optimal karena tidak didukung dengan ketersediaan input berupa makanan terapi dan belum semua TPG mendapat pelatihan gizi buruk. Pelatihan gizi buruk untuk tenaga puskesmas perlu ditingkatkan dan sistem pengadaan makanan terapi di daerah perlu diperbaiki, agar kualitas pelayanan gizi buruk menjadi lebih baik. Kata kunci: gizi buruk, TPG, PMT, sistem pengadaan, pelayanan kesehatan Abstract The problem of severe malnutrition children under five years old tends to decline in 2018. One of the treatment measures was through recovery at the health center. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent to which severe malnutrition children was handled by health center nutrition officer and posyandu cadre. Mix methods approach was used as research design and the study was located in West Kalimantan, Banten, West Java and East Nusa Tenggara Provinces. Two districts were chosen, then one health center from each district was selected based on the highest severe malnutrition cases. The informants were nutrition officer of health center and posyandu cadres. The data collected were nutrition and health services, therapeutic food, counseling, and the role of cadres. Data was collected through interview, in-depth interview, and focus group discussion. Quantitative data analysis was presented descriptively and qualitative data was presented with content analysis.The majority of health centers handled severe malnutrition children in outpatient treatment setting. Not all nutrition officer of health centre have received training in handling severe malnutrition. Only some health centers used therapeutic food while others used supplementary foods that was not recommended. The support of cadre was seen in the form of finding cases of malnutrition and distributing supplementary food to the malnourished children’s homes. The handling of malnourished children in health centers was not optimal, because it was not supported by the availability of therapeutic food and not all nutrition officer have been trained. For recommendations, nutrition training for health center staff needs to be increased and the system for provision therapeutic food in the regions needs to be improved in order to improve the quality of nutrition services. Keywords: severe malnutrition, health center nutrition officer, mix methods, indepth interview, content analysis

To better understand existing capacity and help organizations plan for the strategic and expanded uses of data, a project was initiated that deployed contemporary, Hadoop-based, analytic technology into several multi-site community health centers (CHCs) and a primary care association (PCA). An initial data quality exercise was carried out after deployment, in which a number of analytic queries were executed using both the existing electronic health record (EHR) applications and in parallel, the analytic stack. Each organization carried out the EHR analysis using the definitions typically applied for routine reporting. The analysis using the analytic stack was carried out using those common definitions established for the Uniform Data System (UDS) by the Health Resources and Service Administration.  In addition, interviews with health center leadership and staff were completed to understand the context for the findings.The analysis uncovered many challenges and inconsistencies with respect to the definition of core terms (patient, encounter, etc.), data formatting, and missing, incorrect and unavailable data. At a population level, apparent underreporting of a number of diagnoses, specifically obesity and heart disease, was also evident in the results of the data quality exercise, for both the EHR-derived and stack analytic results.Data awareness, that is, an appreciation of the importance of data integrity, data hygiene and the potential uses of data, needs to be prioritized and developed by health centers and other healthcare organizations if analytics are to be used in an effective manner to support strategic objectives. While this analysis was conducted exclusively with community health center organizations, its conclusions and recommendations may be more broadly applicable.
