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.
