Many of these social factors are different for minorities than they are for whites. Policies that address gaps in these social factors therefore can address mental health status disparities. We analyze three policies and their impact on minorities: the Individuals with Disability Education Act, Section 8 housing vouchers, and the Earned Income Tax Credit. Two of the three policies appear to have been effective in reducing social inequalities between whites and minorities. Expansion of public policies can be the mechanism to eliminate mental health status disparities for minorities.Alegria, Margarita Perez, Debra Joy Williams, Sandra P01H510803/United States PHS P01MH59876/MH/United States NIMH Comparative Study Research Support, U.S. Gov't, P.H.S.

METHODS: The authors examined 27 published population-based instruments for planning or evaluating preparedness that were mostly unavailable in the peer-reviewed literature. Using the Essential Public Health Services framework, the instruments were evaluated for (1) clarity of measurement parameters, (2) balance between structural and process measures, (3) evidence of effectiveness, and (4) specification of an accountable entity. RESULTS: There was a great deal of overlap but little consistency in what constitutes "preparedness" or how it should be measured. Most instruments relied excessively on subjective or structural measures, lacked scientific evidence for measures assessed, and failed to clearly define what entity was accountable for accomplishing the task or function. CONCLUSION: Strategies for improvement include measure standardization, better interagency communication, and investment in public health practice research to develop the underlying evidence base required for developing quality measures and assessments.-Asch, Steven M Stoto, Michael Mendes, Marc Valdez, R Burciaga Gallagher, Meghan E Halverson, Paul Lurie, Nicole Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't Research Support, U.S. Gov't, Non-P.H.S.

After maximizing returns from quality and service volume, the role of regulatory policies and pay-for-performance proposals in producing quality is examined. The tension between the production of quantity and quality is demonstrated. Specifically, the model shows that increasing the costs of a quality improvement program reduces program effectiveness, sanctions for low quality will not improve the performance of high-quality providers, noncompliance with regulation can be a rational decision, and some pay-for-performance programs will not improve quality for low-quality providers. The model suggests incentive structures to improve quality for all providers. This model has application to a variety of social regulatory programs of importance in public health and health care, including health care quality (ie, regulation of nursing homes or medical laboratories) and environmental and food safety regulation.Avery, George Schultz, Jennifer Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't United States American journal of medical quality : the official journal of the American College of Medical Quality Am J Med Qual. 2007 Jul-Aug;22(4):265-73.1062-8606 (Print)17656731oDepartment of Health and Kinesiology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907, USA. gavery@ purdue.edu-22/4/265 [pii] 10.1177/1062860607300564 [doi]eng ||7.Avery, G.

STUDY DESIGN: Physicians in the networks of 8 managed care plans participating in Medicaid programs were surveyed regarding the availability and usefulness of care management practices and the overall quality of care management. The responses of physicians in plans serving predominantly Medicaid enrollees were contrasted with the responses of physicians in predominantly commercial plans who cared for Medicaid enrollees. METHODS: Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios relating to the availability of care management practices. Multiple regression techniques were used to construct comparisons of adjusted means relating to the usefulness of practices and the overall quality of care management. RESULTS: Physicians in predominantly commercial plans reported greater availability of care management practices. No patterns of differences were noted in ratings of the usefulness of practices if available. Physicians in predominantly commercial plans rated the quality of care management higher than physicians in predominantly Medicaid plans. However, there remains room for substantial improvement for commercial and other Medicaid contracting plans. CONCLUSIONS: Commercial plans add value to Medicaid programs, and efforts to discourage their withdrawal from participation are justified. However, physician evaluations support the potential for better care management in all types of contracting plans.Avery, George H Wholey, Douglas R Christianson, Jon B Comparative Study Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't United States The American journal of managed care Am J Manag Care. 2005 Mar;11(3):156-64.1088-0224 (Print)15786854VDepartment of Psychology, University of Minnesota, Duluth 55812, USA. aver0042@umn.edu 2817 [pii]eng}79Axnick, N.

The local instrument was used for local public health systems and on Native American reservations. A description of the process as well as aggregated results of the local performance assessment is presented. An importance ranking scale was combined with the performance scores to identify priority areas. Priority needs were specifically identified for developing community health profiles, working more closely with community partnerships, and increasing emphasis on health education activities. The process was a good opportunity for bringing partners together in local public health systems and for developing interest in using the more complete strategic planning tools in Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships. 1078-465916103817English||7Baker, E.

Key components of that infrastructure are a competent workforce, information and communication systems, health department and laboratory capacity, and legal authorities. As part of this transformative work, standards and assessment tools have been developed to measure the capacity and actual performance of public health systems. In addition, a number of states have examined the legal foundation for public health services and have revised and updated those authorities to improve their system's capacity in the context of evolving health challenges. Among those states are Nebraska, New Jersey, and Texas, all of which, beginning in 1999, have adopted dynamic new approaches to aligning public health's legal authorities with new missions and expectations for performance and accountability. This article describes the approaches that these three states have taken to strengthen their legal foundation for public health practice, to illuminate the perspectives legislators and health officials bring to the process, and to give decision makers in other states practical insight into the potential benefits of reviewing and restructuring public health's legal authorities. The underlying stimuli for the states' initiatives differed significantly, yet shared an important, common core. What they held in common was concern that outdated elements of the public health system and infrastructure hindrered delivery of essential public health services at the community level. Where they differed was in the type of tools they found most suitable for the job of rejuvenating those structures. The approaches taken, and the policy tools selected, reflect the unique health needs of each state, establish relationships among state and community health authorities and agencies, and provide guidance by elected and appointed policy makers. Each state continues to refine its approach as it gains experience with the new authorities.Baker, Edward L Blumenstock, James S Jensen, Jim Morris, Ralph D Moulton, Anthony D United States The Journal of law, medicine & ethics : a journal of the American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics J Law Med Ethics. 2002 Fall;30(3 Suppl):48-51.1073-1105 (Print)12508502iPublic Health Practice Program Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.eng||7IBaker, E.

The collaboration between two major government health agencies (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Health Resources and Services Administration) and three major health foundations (the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the CDC Foundation) to create the Management Academy for Public Health is unprecedented in public health over the past quarter century. We attribute this success to the unique combination of a strong foundation of relationships between the partners and a commitment to generative dialogue throughout the design and implementation of the program. The success and sustainability of the Academy derive directly from these critical success factors, serving as an exemplary model for future collaborative endeavors.Baker, Edward L Jr Fox, Claude Earl Hassmiller, Susan B Sabol, Barbara J Stokes, C Charles United States Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP J Public Health Manag Pract. 2006 Sep-Oct;12(5):426-9.1078-4659 (Print)16912603North Carolina Institute for Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, School of Public Health, CB 8165, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA. elbaker@email.unc.edu00124784-200609000-00004 [pii]engM||72Baker, E.

Public health systems in the United States are built on an infrastructure of workforce, information systems, and organizational capacity; in each of these areas, however, serious deficits have been well documented. Here we draw on two 2003 Institute of Medicine reports and present evidence for current threats and the weakness of our public health infrastructure. We describe major initiatives to systematically assess, invest in, rebuild, and evaluate workforce competency, information systems, and organizational capacity through public policy making, practical initiatives, and practice-oriented research. These initiatives are based on applied science and a shared federal-state approach to public accountability. We conclude that a newly strengthened public health infrastructure must be sustained in the future through a balancing of the values inherent in the federal system.Baker, Edward L Potter, Margaret A Jones, Deborah L Mercer, Shawna L Cioffi, Joan P Green, Lawrence W Halverson, Paul K Lichtveld, Maureen Y Fleming, David W Review United States Annual review of public health Annu Rev Public Health. 2005;26:303-18.0163-7525 (Print)15760291cThe North Carolina Institute for Public Health, Chapel Hill, 27599-8165, USA. elbaker@email.unc.edu110.1146/annurev.publhealth.26.021304.144647 [doi]engX||7#Baker, E.

METHODS: The authors review competencies in public health and health sciences librarianship. They highlight previously identified public health informatics competencies and the Medical Library Association's essential areas of knowledge. Based on points of correspondence between the two domains, the authors identify specific opportunities for partnership. RESULTS: The points of correspondence between public health and health sciences librarianship are reflected in several past projects involving both communities. These previous collaborations and the services provided by health sciences librarians at many public health organizations suggest that some health sciences librarians may be considered full members of the public health workforce. Opportunities remain for productive collaboration between public health workers and health sciences librarians. CONCLUSIONS: Drawing on historical and contemporary experience, this paper presents an initial framework for forming collaborations between health sciences librarians and members of the public health workforce. This framework may stimulate thinking about how to form additional partnerships between members of these two communities. 1536-505016059423English [://000243310600006Times Cited: 0 Cited Reference Count: 26 Cited References: *B M GAT FDN, B M GAT FDN AW 1 MIL *IN PUBL PRIV PART, PARTN DAT *WHO, PUBL PRIV PARTN HLTH *WHO, 2002, HLTH WELF SYST DEV 2 AHN M, 2000, MANAGED CARE Q, V8, P65 BIRN AE, 1999, J PUBLIC HEALTH POL, V20, P81 BUSE K, 2000, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V78, P549 BUSE K, 2000, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V78, P699 BUSE K, 2001, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V79, P748 CAINES K, 2003, IMPACT PUBLIC PRIVAT COLLINS K, 2004, PERSPECT BIOL MED, V47, P100 CSILLAG C, 1995, LANCET, V345, P1168 CSILLAG C, 2001, LANCET, V358, P47 FRENK J, 1993, HEALTH POLICY PLANN, V8, P315 HSIAO WC, 1994, HEALTH ECON, V3, P351 MURASKIN W, 1996, SOC SCI MED, V42, P1721 NEWELL JN, 2004, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V82, P92 NISHTAR S, 2004, HLTH RES POLICY SYST, V2, P5 RAMIAH I, 2005, HEALTH AFFAIR, V24, P545, DOI 10.1377/hlthaff.24.2.545 REICH MR, 2000, NAT MED, V6, P617 RIDLEY RG, 2001, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V79, P694 RIDLEY RG, 2003, EMBO REP, V4, S43, DOI 10.1038/sj.embor.embor858 SCHWARTZ JB, 2004, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V82, P661 SEN A, 1999, DEV FREEDOM, P39 SMITH R, 2000, BRIT MED J, V320, P952 WIDDUS R, 2001, B WORLD HEALTH ORGAN, V79, P713 Barr, Donald A. 0090-0036Am.

The ability to make this kind of measurement is crucial to showing the benefits of local, state, and federal funding of environmental public health programs, It is also crucial to the continuation of this funding. One local health department in Pennsylvania, the Allegheny County Health Department, implemented use of the National Public Health Performance Standards as a mechanism for measuring current performance in carrying out the 10 essential services as well as to set a benchmark for improving capacity in areas of environmental health practice. By using these standards as a tool for assessing current performance, the health department was able to focus on strengthening areas in which little or no capacity was reported. This process made it possible to set priorities and allocate resources to improve the delivery of environmental health services. The tool was re-used two years later to measure the impact this capacity-building activity had on improving the ability of the environmental health program to carry out the 10 essential services. 0022-089217802813.This article chronicled the efforts of the Allegheny, PA, health department to use the NPHPSP to take an initial measurement of capacity to carry out the 10 EPHS, and use the results to point areas odf environmental health services that were in need of performance improvement. Priority setting and resource allocation was done to reflect the results of the NPHPSP assessment. A second assessment of the NPHPSP was given two years later, and Improvements were seen, particularly in those areas identified as areas of concern by the first assessment. English}7, Barry, M.

The HMO implemented several interventions successively from 1984-87: a postcard reminder to members at high risk for complications of influenza, a computer-generated reminder to the physician at the time of any primary care visit by high-risk patients, performance feedback to chiefs of service, and, finally, retrospective feedback to each physician comparing his/her performance with that of the other physicians. We examined immunization rates for a group of members older than age 65, a high-risk group under age 65, and a group of diabetic members who had not been subject to the reminders (vs a group who had been covered by the program). Vaccination rates were increased in those diabetic members who received reminders. Nevertheless, among members younger and older than age 65 whose experience was observed over three flu seasons, a significant increase in vaccination rates was not achieved until physician feedback was added to the program. We conclude that each element of the reminder and feedback program has contributed to the overall increase in vaccination rates at the HMO and that effective ongoing influenza immunization programs can be implemented in practice settings with appropriate systems support.Barton, M B Schoenbaum, S C Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't United states American journal of public health Am J Public Health. 1990 May;80(5):534-6.0090-0036 (Print)23275273Harvard Community Health Plan, Brookline, MA 02146.eng||7/7Baum, N.

Competing needs for resources and a plurality of values can challenge public health policymakers and practitioners to make fair and effective decisions for their communities. In this paper, the authors offer an analytic framework designed to assist policymakers and practitioners in managing the ethical tensions they face in daily practice. Their framework is built upon the following set of six considerations: determining population-level utility of the proposed action; demonstrating evidence of need and effectiveness of actions; establishing fairness of goals and proposed implementation strategies; ensuring accountability; and, assessing expected efficiencies and costs associated with the proposed action. Together, these considerations create a structured guide to assist decision-makers in identifying potential ethical challenges and in assessing the moral considerations that underlie public health practice - and possibly even, if the conditions are met, reduce the creation of ethical tension. Although the authors'empirical experiences provide the basis for the framework advanced here, their approach remains to be tested and evaluated by public health practitioners.

The mandate for State intervention for social goals has also been under a sustained ideological challenge. These circumstances, together with other developments within the New Zealand health service, prepared the way for the development of the first set of health goals and targets. Six criteria were used to identify health problems for which goals and targets could be set. Ten areas were included, and specific, timed and quantified targets were set in each area for the year 2000 with shorter term targets for 1995. The Minister of Health gave priority to three areas: tobacco control, secondary prevention of cervical cancer, and reduction of road accident injury and death. An important aspect of the program is that the goals and targets are to be the focus of the annual contract between the Minister of Health (the primary funder of health care) and the Area Health Boards (the primary providers of health care). A matrix of policy options is presented for resource allocation and public health. The case study described represents one solution to the set of policy choices presented by fiscal and ideological challenge; the "new managerialism" has been allied with the "new public health." The authors argue that a combination of ideological renewal and fiscal probity has preserved a vigorous role for the State in health and health care. This matrix of policy options also underlines the necessity to consider health outcomes, as well as organizational goals, in the evaluation of the performance of health systems. 0020-73141644506Englishk://000182632100006ISI Document Delivery No.: 674HV Times Cited: 9 Cited Reference Count: 84 Cited References: 1994, MMWR, V143, P129 1997, MMWR, V46, P837 *ALPH CTR, 1996, STAT IN, V10, P2 *CDCP, 2000, HIV AIDS SURVEILLANC, V12, P14 *CDCP, 2000, TRACK HIDD EP TRENDS *CDCP, 2002, MMWR-MORBID MORTAL W, V51, P13 AJZEN I, 1980, UNDERSTANDING ATTITU AJZEN I, 1985, ACTION CONTROL COGNI, P11 AJZEN I, 1988, ATTITUDES PERSONALIT AKERS R, 1977, DEVIANT BEHAV SOCIAL ANDRULIS DP, 1997, HEALTH AFFAIR, V16, P131 BANDURA A, 1986, FDN THOUGHT ACTION S BANKOLE A, 1999, FAM PLANN PERSPECT, V31, P264 BECKER M, 1974, HLTH BELIEF MODEL PE BLUM RW, 2000, AM J PUBLIC HEALTH, V90, P1879 BREWSTER KL, 1994, DEMOGRAPHY, V31, P603 BROWN LK, 1992, J ADOLESCENT HEALTH, V13, P651 BROWN SS, 1995, BEST INTENTIONS UNIN CATES W, 1992, FAM PLANN PERSPECT, V24, P122 CATES W, 1992, FAM PLANN PERSPECT, V24, P75 CATES W, 1993, SEX TRANSM DIS, V20, P174 CATES W, 1996, AM J EPIDEMIOL, V143, P311 CHILMAN C, 1980, US DEP HEW PUB COSTA FM, 1995, J RES ADOLESCENCE, V5, P93 CROSBY RA, 2001, J ADOLESCENT HEALTH, V28, P410 CUSHMAN LF, 1998, FAM PLANN PERSPECT, V30, P240 DICLEMENTE RJ, 1991, J ADOLESCENT HEALTH, V12, P385 ELLIOTT D, 1985, EXPLAINING DELINQUEN FISHBEIN M, 1975, BEILEF ATTITUDE INTE FLAY BR, 1994, ADV MED SOCIOL, V4, P19 FORD K, 2001, FAM PLANN PERSPECT, V33, P100 FORTENBERRY JD, 1997, J RES ADOLESCENCE, V7, P307 FOX LJ, 1995, J AM MED WOMEN ASSOC, V50, P129 FURSTENBERG FF, 1990, FAM PLANN PERSPECT, V22, P54 GERONIMUS AT, 1993, AM J EPIDEMIOL, V137, P213 GORDON RL, 1996, ANNU REV PUBL HEALTH, V17, P489 GRIMES DA, 1997, MODERN CONTRACEPTION GRIMLEY DM, 1995, HEALTH EDUC QUART, V22, P20 HALVERSON PK, 1997, MILBANK Q, V75, P113 HAWKINS JD, 1985, J PRIM PREVENT, V6, P73 HUMPHRIES HO, 1994, SEX TRANSM DIS, V21, P217 JANZ NK, 1984, HEALTH EDUC QUART, V11, P1 JESSOR R, 1991, ADOLESCENCE PROBLEM KAPLAN HB, 1984, J HEALTH SOC BEHAV, V25, P270 KESTELMAN P, 1991, FAM PLANN PERSPECT, V23, P226 KLERMAN LV, 1993, INFLUENCE EC FACTORS, P38 KRIEGER N, 1994, INT J HEALTH SERV, V24, P265 LEVY SR, 1995, J SCHOOL HEALTH, V65, P145 LEVY SR, 1995, J SCHOOL HEALTH, V65, P28 LINDBERG LD, 1998, MATERN CHILD HLTH J, V2, P201 MECHANIC D, 1978, MED SOCIOLOGY COMPRE, P53 MERTZ KJ, 1998, SEX TRANSM DIS, V25, P225 MOORE KA, 1995, ADOLESCENT PREGNANCY MOORE KA, 1995, ADOLESCENT SEX CONTR MORGAN C, 1995, ADOLESCENCE, V30, P277 MOTT FL, 1996, FAM PLANN PERSPECT, V28, P13 MUSICK JS, 1993, POOR PREGNANT PSYCHO OETTING ER, 1986, J COUNS DEV, V65, P17 OETTING ER, 1986, J COUNS DEV, V65, P29 OLSEN RJ, 1990, J LABOR ECON, V8, P341 ORPINAS PK, 1995, J ADOLESCENT HEALTH, V16, P216 ORR DP, 1992, J PEDIATR, V120, P311 ORR DP, 1993, PEDIATRICS, V91, P873 PETRAITIS J, 1995, PSYCHOL BULL, V117, P67 POLANECZKY M, 1994, NEW ENGL J MED, V331, P1201 RAUCHELNEKAVE H, 1994, ADOLESCENCE, V29, P91 RESNICK MD, 1993, J PEDIAT CHILD HLTH, V29, P1 ROBINSON RB, 1994, ADOLESCENCE, V113, P28 SANTELLI JS, 1995, FAM PLANN PERSPECT, V27, P74 SANTELLI JS, 1997, FAM PLANN PERSPECT, V29, P261 SIEVING R, 1997, ARCH PEDIAT ADOL MED, V151, P243 STANTON B, 1994, PEDIATRICS, V93, P966 STANTON BF, 1996, J ADOLESCENT HEALTH, V18, P10 STEINER M, 1993, FAM PLANN PERSPECT, V25, P234 TAYLOR D, 1997, OBSTET GYNECOL, V89, P199 THORPE KE, 1999, HLTH CARE DELIVERY U, P464 TWADDLE A, 1979, SICKNESS BEHAV SICK TWADDLE AC, 1969, J HEALTH SOC BEHAV, V10, P105 UDRY JR, 1994, SEXUALITY LIFE COURS, P187 VENTURA SJ, 2001, TRENDS PREGNANCY RAT, V49 VENTURA SJ, 2002, NATL VITAL STATISTIC, V50 WEISMAN CS, 1991, FAM PLANN PERSPECT, V23, P71 WOODSONG C, 1999, SOC SCI MED, V49, P567 ZIMMERMAN RS, 1995, J ADOLESCENT RES, V10, P383 1054-139XJ.

This article is a report of the evaluation of the content and criterion validity of the local public health performance assessment instrument, and the content validity of the state public health performance assessment instrument. METHODS: Health department performance is measured using a set of indicators developed for the 10 Essential Services of Public Health and a model standard for each indicator. Content validity of each model standard in the local instrument was addressed by community partners along the following dimensions: the importance of each standard as a measure of the associated Essential Service, its completeness as a measure, and its reasonableness for achievement. All standards for each Essential Service were then judged in terms of their completeness in measuring performance in that service. Content validity of the state instrument was evaluated in a group interview of health department staff members from three states. Criterion validity of the local instrument was assessed for a sample of eight public health departments in Florida and six in New York by examining documentary evidence for selected responses. Criterion validity was also evaluated for a sample of Florida local public health departments and one Hawaii public health department by comparing state health department staffs' judgments of performance against the instrument score. RESULTS: Criterion validity was upheld for a summary performance score on the local instrument, but was not upheld for performance judgments on individual Essential Services. The NPHPSP standards based on the Essential Services have validity for measuring local public health system performance, according to community partners. The model standards are valid measures of state performance, according to state public health departments in three states. CONCLUSIONS: Within the scope of the validity evaluations completed, the NPHPSP state and local performance assessment instruments were found to be valid measures of public health performance. 0033-354914563908English||75/Beaulieu, J.

DESIGN: A cross-sectional exploratory survey was used to examine the perceived value of credentialing for PHNs and the perceived barriers to obtaining or maintaining the C/PHN credential as the primary variables of interest. SAMPLE: Data were collected from 655 PHN members of national public health nursing organizations who participated in an online survey. MEASUREMENT: Responses related to the perceived value of credentialing were analyzed using factor analysis and descriptive statistics. Data regarding perceived barriers to the C/PHN credential were analyzed through descriptive statistics and through the Borda Count Method for analysis of ranked data (Tannenbaum, 1995). RESULTS: Similar to nurses in other specialties, study participants perceived that credentialing has a high personal value for PHNs, but that certification provides less value in terms of extrinsic recognition. Respondents identified issues related to the lack of external recognition as particular barriers to the C/PHN credential. CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide guidance to public health nursing leaders and inform discussions regarding the development of credentialing systems within the field of public health.Bekemeier, Betty Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't United States Public health nursing (Boston, Mass.)

Twenty-one states had already been participating for some years in The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Turning Point Initiative.

However, the magnitude of funds leveraged and the factors that facilitate success in leveraging are rarely researched. An example of one of these grant-funded initiatives is the National Turning Point Initiative. Twenty-one states received funding from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as part of this initiative to establish and implement strategic goals for achieving significant statewide public health system improvement through diverse, cross-sector partnerships. Leaders from 17 of these 21 states participated in a two-phased study regarding the leveraging of additional funds for their public health infrastructure improvement activities. This article reports on the second phase of the study. In this phase, key informant interviews were conducted to examine how leveraging of resources occurred as part of this large national initiative. Findings indicate that the combination of a comprehensive planning process and a broad-based partnership was crucial in securing resources to expand their efforts. The ability to strategically respond to unexpected events and opportunities also helped states use their plans and partnerships to "make the case" for additional resources to improve their public health infrastructure.Bekemeier, Betty Riley, Catharine M Padgett, Stephen M Berkowitz, Bobbie Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't United States Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP J Public Health Manag Pract. 2007 Nov-Dec;13(6):649-54.1078-4659 (Print)17984721^School of Nursing, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA. bettybek@u.washington.eduG10.1097/01.PHH.0000296143.87046.85 [doi] 00124784-200711000-00018 [pii]eng "Berkowitz, B.

There is a common belief that increases from one source will be offset by decreases in others, as when a local agency might decide it must increase taxes in response to lowered federal or state funding. This study tests this belief through a cross-sectional study using data from Missouri local public health agencies, and finds, instead, that money begets money. Local agencies that receive more from federal and state sources also raise more at the local level. Given the particular effectiveness of local funding in improving agency performance, these findings that nonlocal revenues are amplified at the local level, help make the case for higher public health funding from federal and state levels.Bernet, Patrick Michael United States Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP J Public Health Manag Pract. 2007 Mar-Apr;13(2):188-93.1078-4659 (Print)17299324[Florida Atlantic University College of Business, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA.

Based on a meeting held by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in 1996, the authors discuss the complications inherent in the way markets and products are defined by key stakeholders, including economists, policymakers, federal antitrust officials, purchasers, and the competitors themselves. CONCLUSION: The consensus among those who study this issue is that the way competitors, markets, and geographic areas are currently defined, and the ways of measuring competition, are inadequate, due mainly to the fact that both the measures and the definitions have been constructed from very limited data. Confounding this is the fact that analyses of competition are undertaken for such a wide variety of uses and that creating one database to solve the problems mentioned can be extremely daunting. RECOMMENDATIONS: Future research should examine ways to develop better definitions of the new healthcare structures that are competing with each other and ways to create measures of competition that include these new structures. To remedy gaps in the ability to measure competition, the field might also benefit from a public use data file, similar to the Area Resource File (ARF), that would contain HMO data according to geographic area, as well as provider data, employer data, payer data, and sociodemographic data.xBernstein, A B Gauthier, A K Review United states Health services research Health Serv Res. 1998 Dec;33(5 Pt 2):1421-38.0017-9124 (Print)9865227(Alpha Center, Washington, DC 20036, USA.eng}7B Bialek, R.20004Building the science base for public health practice51-86Journal of public health management and practice JPHMP65Health-Services-Research-methods Public-Health-Administration Public-Health-Practice Quality-Assurance,-Health-Care-methods Diffusion-of-Innovation Health-Services-Research-organization-and-administration Health-Services-Research-standards Quality-Assurance,-Health-Care-organization-and-administration Quality-Assurance,-Health-Care-standards United-States methods organization-and-administration standards HumansH; Research Support, Non U.S. Gov't; Research Support, U.S. Gov't, P.H.S.HThis article explores the need for and current state of the science base in public health practice.

Findings suggest that many ethnic minority groups view their health care situations differently and, often, more negatively than whites. A substantial proportion perceived discrimination in receiving health care, and many felt that they would not receive the best care if they were sick. Most differences remained when socioeconomic characteristics were controlled for.

Bowser, R, Univ Illinois, Coll Law, Chicago, IL 60680 USA.CARDIAC-SURGERY MANAGED CARE HEALTH-CARE OUTCOMES STATE ACCESSArticleRMany new methods for measuring the quality of health care have been devised since 1970. For the past ten years, the health care field has been struggling to integrate industrial models into its quality improvement systems. In order to judge whether regulation has evolved in tandem with these developments, three critical questions are examined: Is regulation improving the quality of health care? Are regulators integrating che tools of quality research into their oversight activities? Is there a way to combine continuous quality improvement (CQI) and modern methods of quality measurement into a new regulatory format? An exploration of these questions produces relatively little evidence that regulation has moved in the recommended direction, although there are some encouraging signs that regulators are becoming more responsive to the issues.://000077653800008| ISI Document Delivery No.: 150FR Times Cited: 21 Cited Reference Count: 49 Cited References: 1997, MODERN HEALTHCA 0630, P78 *BUR NAT AFF, 1996, HLTH LAW REPORTER, V5, P1845 *BUR NAT AFF, 1996, HLTH LAW REPORTER, V5, P390 *BUR NAT AFF, 1997, HLTH LAW REPORTER, V6, P22 *HOSP ASS NY, 1993, REC CHANG HLTH CAR R *NAT COMM QUAL ASS, 1994, HLTH PLAN EMPL DAT I *RAD STAT HLTH GRO, 1995, BRIT MED J, V310, P1045 ANDREW G, 1996, FEDERATION B, V83, P228 ANNAS GJ, 1995, NEW ENGL J MED, V333, P1647 AYRES I, 1992, RESPONSIVE REGULATIO BERWICK DM, 1990, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V263, P347 BRENNAN TA, 1996, NEW ENGL J MED, V335, P1963 BRENNAN TA, 1996, NEW RULES REGULATION BREYER S, 1982, REGULATION REFORM BURSTIN HR, 1992, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V268, P2383 BURSTIN HR, 1997, UNPUB DETERRENCE MAL DERBYSHIRE RC, 1969, MED LICENSURE DISCIP DERMAN H, 1997, ARCH PATHOL LAB MED, V121, P287 ENTHOVEN AC, 1997, HEALTH AFFAIR, V16, P44 GARDNER J, 1996, MOD HEALTHCARE 0617, P68 GOSFIELD AG, 1997, HEALTH AFFAIR, V16, P26 GRUMBACH K, 1995, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V274, P1282 HALVERSON PK, 1997, MILBANK Q, V75, P113 HANNAN EL, 1994, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V271, P761 JENCKS SF, 1997, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V277, P419 JOST TS, 1989, OHIO ST LJ, V50, P1 LEAPE LL, 1993, QUAL REV B, V19, P144 LIU LL, 1997, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V278, P293 MANDL KD, 1997, ARCH PEDIAT ADOL MED, V151, P915 MARINER WK, 1996, NEW ENGL J MED, V335, P1986 MELLETTE PM, 1986, U RICH L REV, V20, P315 OLEARY
