8 Questions
What are some of the components that may comprise an HSII?
Job aids, medication supply chains, and infrastructure improvement
Why is it important to define all components of an HSII and its context?
To adjust expected results for different scenarios
What is one potential positive effect of an HSII on health outcomes?
Improved health outcomes
Why should unintended negative consequences of an HSII be measured and included in the analysis?
To adjust expected results for different scenarios
What can be used to compare outcomes of different HSIIs?
Burden of disease measures, such as DALYs or QALYs
What is a potential negative consequence of HSII implementation?
Neglect of other patient care areas
What is the standard practice in individual medical intervention economic evaluations?
To measure and include adverse events in the analysis
What should be considered in the analysis of HSII positive effects?
Feasibly measurable positive effects
Study Notes
- Health system improvement interventions (HSIIs) to improve healthcare quality can be complex and context-dependent.
- HSIIs may have multiple components, such as training, job aids, medication supply chains, record-keeping, and infrastructure improvement.
- The actual activities comprising an HSII may vary depending on the context.
- Defining all components of an HSII and its context can help adjust expected results for different scenarios.
- HSIIs often have multiple positive effects on health outcomes.
- Feasibly measurable positive effects should be considered in the analysis and reported as a composite score.
- Unintended negative consequences of an HSII should be measured and included in the analysis.
- Burden of disease measures, such as DALYs or QALYs, can be used to compare outcomes of different HSIIs.
- HSII implementation may lead to neglect of other patient care areas.
- Standard practice in individual medical intervention economic evaluations is to measure and include adverse events in the analysis.
Test your knowledge on health system improvement interventions (HSIIs) designed to enhance healthcare quality. Learn about the components, context-dependency, and potential positive and negative effects of HSIIs. Understand the importance of measuring outcomes, unintended consequences, and adverse events in healthcare interventions.
