To create, by 2012, a network of Promoting Health companies in the Province of Bergamo, with at least 10% of companies with over 90 employees (about 10,000 workers) adherent, and attending up to 15% by 2015.The work was carried out by building partnerships and collaboration with Confindustria Bergamo and the main healthcare and Union stakeholders in the province, selecting good practices and experimenting feasibility and effectiveness in two mid-sized companies, before extending the proposal A system of accreditation was defined. Member companies should implement a at least 18 good practices in three years. The areas of good practices are: nutrition, tobacco, physical activity, road safety, alcohol and substance and wellbeing. The results are surprising in terms of network and adhesion. Currently 46 companies are involved (over 9,200 employees).The model seems to work well and in our opinion is extensible on a larger scale.

Empresas Promotoras de Salud, Instituciones Prestadoras de Salud, Oligopsonio,Health Promoting Companies, Health Care Institutions, Oligopsony ,Medicine (General) ,R5-920 - Abstract
¿Qué es un Oligopsonio? Es una situación del mercado, que aparece cuando existen muy pocos compradores y todos son mayoristas. Estos al ser únicos, tienen un control especial sobre el precio de los productos, pues los productores tienen que adaptarse como dé lugar, a las exigencias del comprador en materia de precio y cantidad. Las Empresas Promotoras de Salud en Colombia se comportan exactamente de la misma forma, con un agravante, que las Instituciones Prestadoras de Servicios de Salud, Clínicas y Hospitales en Colombia (que reportan a la Superintendencia Nacional de Salud), sometidas a condiciones financieras injustas y en el proceso de quiebra, se ven abocados a aumentar peligrosamente los Costos de No Calidad en Salud con el consiguiente efecto sobre la población colombiana.

La Superintendencia Nacional de Salud, esta facultada desde el año 2007, para aplicar como la herramienta de control, a las Empresas Promotoras de Salud, la intervención forzosa administrativa para administrar, con la finalidad de lograr el cumplimiento de su objeto social en momentos de crisis. Sin embargo, el ejercicio de la intervención, significó, en la mayoría de los casos, la liquidación de varias EPS en el país, quedando en duda la efectividad de la misma. De acuerdo con lo anterior, se realizó la evaluación de la medida de control, desarrollada en la legislación financiera, para establecer si logra dimensionar las fallas en el ejercicio de las funciones del aseguramiento, descritas en el articulo 14 de la ley 1122 de 2007. Es un estudio cualitativo de tipo explicativo, que tuvo como fuentes de información primarias la legislación vigente en la materia hasta el año 2018 y los funcionarios de la Superintendencia Delegada para las Medidas Especiales de la dirección para EAPB, quienes aplican la normatividad relacionada con la intervención forzosa administrativa para Administrar. Se emplearon como técnicas de recolección de la información la realización de entrevistas semiestructuradas a los funcionarios de la Superintendencia y el análisis interpretativo de las normas, de acuerdo con lo señalado en los artículos 27, 28, 29 y 30 del Código Civil Colombiano. Mediante una matriz, conforme a las categorías de análisis previamente definidas (causales de la medida, procedimiento de intervención, efectos de su declaratoria, elección del Agente Especial interventor y responsabilidad del Estado derivada de las actuaciones del interventor), se hizo el ejercicio de codificación abierta y axial, extrayendo de cada fuente de información los segmentos de información relevante, se identificó la regularidad y diversidad entre las normas y los relatos de los funcionarios, triangulando las fuentes, organizándolas por categorías para su presentación. Como resultado de la investigación, se encontró que la medida, tal y como se encuentra contemplada en el Estatuto Orgánico del Sistema Financiero, y sus adecuaciones parciales al Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud, no resulta idónea para la superación de la crisis de las Empresas Promotoras de Salud encontrándose el Estado, el SGSSS y el usuario, en riesgo, teniendo en cuenta que la toma de posesión para administrar, no logra la protección del derecho fundamental a la salud de los afiliados a la EPS sujeta a intervención. The National Superintendency of Heath authorized since 2007 it is a control tool for health promoting companies and is responsible for archieving its corporate purpose in time of crisis. However this meant in most cases the liquidation of several EPS in the country because of this the effectiveness of this administration is being in doubt. In accordance with the above the control measure developed by the financial legislation was evaluated to determine the kind of failures in the procedure described in the article 14 of the law 1122 of 2007 were known. It is a qualitative study of explanatory type that had as primary information sources the current legislation on the subject until 2018 and the officials of the delegated superintendence for the special measures of the management for EAPB who apply the regulations related to the forced intervention to administer. Information gathering techniques were used semi-structured interviews and interpretive analysis of the standard to the officials of the superintendence in accordance with articles 27, 28, 29 and 30 of the Colombian civil code thought a matrix according to the category of analysis previously defined (causes of the measure procedure of intervention effects of its declaration election of the special intervention agent and responsibility of the state derived from the actions of the intervention agent). The exercise of open and axial coding was done by extracting the segments of relevant information from each source of information regularity and diversity between the norms and reports of the officials were identified triangulating the sources by organizing them by categories for presentation. As a result of the investigation the measure is found as it is in the organic state of the financial system and its partial adjustments to the general social security system in health it is not suitable for over coming the crisis of health promoting companies finding the state the SGSSS and the user at risk. Taking in account that the taking of possession to administer does not achieve the protection of the fundamental right for the health of the members affiliated with the EPS subject to the intervention.

La presente investigación sobre la crisis financiera que afecta al Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud en Colombia ahonda en las características del modelo de seguridad social en salud que se implementó a partir de la Ley 100 de 1993 y el desequilibrio financiero generado a raíz de la falta de controles administrativos por parte del Ministerio de Salud que fue aprovechado por las Empresas Promotoras de Salud, llevando al sistema a un grave crisis que aún persiste, siendo una de las causas principales los recobros excesivos por altos costos de medicamentos y tratamientos médicos contribuyendo a debilitar el Sistema de Salud. En los últimos días, la Fiscalía General de la Nación ha citado a Carlos Palacino, otrora Presidente del conglomerado Saludcoop EPS para imputarle cargos por los delitos de enriquecimiento ilícito y por desviar los recursos de la salud de los afiliados a Saludcoop hacia patrimonios particulares, en lo que constituye el escándalo de corrupción más grave de la última década en Colombia. Los hechos que dieron lugar a la investigación penal se remontan hacia unos seis años atrás, cuando empiezan las investigaciones de la Contraloría General de la República y de la Procuraduría General de la Nación, ante graves denuncias de corrupción que se formularon por parte del Senador Jorge Enrique Robledo y por el columnista de la Revista Semana Daniel Coronell, en donde señalaban a Palacino de enriquecerse a costa de los recursos con los cuales se debía atender a los pacientes de la que llegó a ser la EPS más grande del país en solo 10 años de haber sido creada. Para el año 2011 el Presidente de la República anunció ante el país que gracias a la labor coordinada de las autoridades se logró desmantelar un cartel de la corrupción en materia de recobros al Fosyga. El Senador Jorge Enrique Robledo ha denunciado en debate de control político adelantado en el Senado en agosto de 2016, como ya lo ha venido haciendo en distintos escenarios, que el Ministerio de Salud no ha tomado acciones efectivas para frenar la corrupción en el sistema de salud, que a cambio de defender a los pacientes las medidas que se toman buscan proteger las 10 inversiones de las EPS y ha indicado que por culpa del Ministerio –ante la liquidación de Saludcoop EPS- se han perdido 1,4 billones de pesos que esa EPS se apropió en forma irregular según fallo proferido por la Contraloría General de la Nación que quedó en firme desde el año 2014. The present investigation on the financial crisis that affects the General System of Social Security in Health in Colombia delves into the characteristics of the model of social security in health that was implemented from the Law 100 of 1993 and the financial imbalance generated as a result of the lack of administrative controls by the Ministry of Health that was taken advantage of by Health Promoting Companies, leading the system to a serious crisis that still persists, one of the main causes being excessive recoveries due to high costs of medicines and medical treatments contributing to weaken the Health System. In recent days, the Office of the Attorney General of the Nation has quoted Carlos Palacino, former President of the conglomerate Saludcoop EPS, to charge him with the crimes of illicit enrichment and to divert health resources from the Saludcoop affiliates to private patrimonies. what constitutes the most serious corruption scandal of the last decade in Colombia. The facts that gave rise to the criminal investigation go back to about six years ago, when the investigations of the Comptroller General of the Republic and the Attorney General of the Nation begin, before serious denunciations of corruption that were formulated by Senator Jorge Enrique Robledo and by the columnist of the magazine Semana Daniel Coronell, where they pointed out Palacino to be enriched at the expense of the resources with which patients had to be attended, of which it became the largest EPS in the country in only 10 years have been created. For the year 2011, the President of the Republic announced to the country that thanks to the coordinated work of the authorities, a cartel of corruption in the matter of recoveries to the Fosyga was dismantled.Senator Jorge Enrique Robledo has denounced in debate of political control advanced in the Senate in August 2016, as he has done in different scenarios, that the Ministry of Health has not taken effective actions to stop corruption in the health system , that in exchange for defending patients the measures taken seek to protect the 10 investments of the EPS and has indicated that because of the Ministry -with the liquidation of Saludcoop EPS- 1.4 trillion pesos have been lost that EPS It was appropriated in an irregular manner according to a ruling made by the Office of the Comptroller General of the Nation, which became final since 2014.

Issue Addressed: There are concerns that unhealthy industries may use sponsorships to align their brands with the increased popularity of professional women's sporting events. This study aimed to identify and compare the sponsors of Australian male and female professional sporting teams in relation to unhealthy industries (alcohol, gambling, discretionary food and drink, and venues) and health‐promoting companies and organisations (charities, government departments, and educational institutions). Methods: A web‐based scan was conducted from July to October 2021 to identify team and uniform sponsors, with descriptive statistics used to identify and compare results. Results: About one tenth of sponsors (team n = 269; 10.9%; uniform n = 62; 10.6%) were for unhealthy industries. Men's teams had a greater number of these sponsors as compared to women's teams. Just under 10% of sponsors were for health‐promoting organisations (team n = 210; 8.5%; uniform n = 44; 7.5%), with women's teams more likely to have these sponsors as compared to men's teams. Conclusions: Professional sport provides an important opportunity to facilitate health‐promoting rather than ‐harming sponsors. Health‐promoting sponsors are more prominent in women's sport, but as women's professional sport continues to grow in popularity, there is a need for policy, funding, and support to prevent engagement with unhealthy industry sponsorship and create a level playing field with men's sport. So What?: Mechanisms should be developed to help sporting codes, particularly women's sport, to adopt business models that are not reliant on industries that cause harm. Establishing strong relationships with health‐promoting organisations may provide alternative sponsorship opportunities for sporting teams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

9. Movement Behaviors and Cognitive Health for Office Workers

Bojsen-Møller, Emil and Bojsen-Møller, Emil
- Abstract
The lifetime trajectories of movement behavior and cognitive functioning depend on complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. There is substantial evidence suggesting that physical activity benefits cognitive functions. However, how sedentary behavior and the composition of movement behaviors (i.e., sleep, physical activity, and sedentary behavior) influences cognitive functions remains to be elucidated. Observational studies suggest that sedentary time is unfavorably related to cognitive functions in older adults, but the majority of evidence comes from self-reported estimates of movement behavior, which are rather weakly related to device-based measures. Furthermore, while evidence suggests that structured exercise can have protective effects on cognition in inactive older adults, much less is known about how midlife movement behavior is related to cognitive functions. Thus, knowledge of how midlife movement behavior relates to and possibly affects cognitive functions and its underlying mechanisms is much needed. This thesis is part of a larger research project investigating how movement behaviors relate to and influence cognitive function, mental health, and neurophysiological mechanisms underpinning these. The project specifically targets healthy office workers and is co-produced with employers of office workers and health-promoting companies. This thesis aimed to investigate how movement behaviors relate to and influence cognitive functions and neuroplasticity among office workers. The first study investigated cross-sectional relationships between device-measured movement behavior and cognitive functions among 334 office workers. The results revealed no association between total time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity or sedentary behavior and cognitive functions, suggesting that this association may not be as robust as previously suggested in older populations or as inferred from self-report. The second study investigated t, Utvecklingen genom livet av såväl kognitiv förmåga som fysiskt aktivitetsmönster beror på en komplex interaktion mellan arv och miljö. Det finns stark evidens för att fysisk aktivitet kan förbättra kognitiv förmåga, men vi saknar kunskap om hur stillasittande och det sammansatta fysiska aktivitetsmönstret (omfattande sömn, fysiskt aktivitet och stillasittande) påverkar kognition. Observationsstudier på äldre har visat att mer stillasittande tid är relaterat till sämre kognitiv prestation, men de flesta av dessa studier har utgått från självskattat stillasittande. Självskattningar av fysisk aktivitet och stillasittande är ofta ganska svagt associerade till uppmätt fysiskt aktivitetsmönstret. Emedan träning har visat sig ha en skyddande effekt på äldres kognition, så vet man fortfarande väldigt lite om hur det fysiska aktivitetsmönstret i den arbetsföra befolkningen relaterar till och påverkar kognition. Därför behövs det kunskap om hur fysiskt aktivitetsmönster i medelåldern påverkar kognition och vilka mekanismer som ligger till grund för denna effekt. Avhandlingen är en del av ett större forskningsprojekt som syftar till att undersöka hur kontorsarbetares fysiska aktivitetsmönster relaterar till och påverkar kognition, psykisk hälsa och neurofysiologiska mekanismer för dessa. Kunskapen samproduceras med arbetsgivare och friskvårdsföretag. Syftet med denna avhandling var att belysa hur kontorsarbetares fysiska aktivitetsmönster relaterar till och påverkar kognition och neuroplasticitet. Avhandlingens första studie undersökte sambandet mellan fysiska aktivitetsmönster och kognitiva förmågor bland 334 kontorsarbetare. Studien visade inga samband mellan total tid i medel-till-högintensiv fysisk aktivitet eller stillasittande och prestationen på kognitiva tester. Detta tyder på att sambandet som tidigare påvisats i äldre mellan fysiskt aktivitetsmönster och kognitiva funktioner inte går att generalisera till medelåldern.

- Abstract
El proyecto denominado Angel Heart, nace como apoyo al servicio de hospitalización domiciliaria a personas con diagnóstico de enfermedad crónica, toda vez que la población mundial refleja un aumento en personas mayores de 60 años en su gran mayoría quienes son diagnosticadas con este tipo de enfermedades. Actualmente el servicio es ofrecido por las empresas promotoras de salud (EPS) quienes, de acuerdo a la legislación colombiana, deben ofrecer este servicio de atención. Con el fin de apoyar la labor de las EPS se creará un centro de mando liderado por especialistas de diferentes ramas de la salud, quienes serán notificados de los cambios de los pacientes a través de un dispositivo tecnológico de acuerdo a los parámetros establecidos en el momento de la contratación del servicio, generando alertas tempranas sobre el estado de salud del paciente y atención oportuna por parte de la entidad, permitiendo salvar vidas., The project denomind Angel Heart, was born as a support to the home hospitalization service to people with a diagnosis of chronic disease, each time the world population reflects an increase in people over 60 years of age in their great majority who are diagnosed with this type of diseases. Currently the service is offered by health promoting companies (EPS) who, according to Colombian legislation, must offer this service. With the final purpose to support the work of the EPS, a command center will be created led by specialists from different branches of health, who will be notified of the changes of the patients through a technological device according to the parameters established at the time of contracting the service, generating early alerts about the patient's health status and timely care by the entity, saving lives.

The present intervention proposal has as its fundamental purpose, to positively impact the financial processes of the institutions that provide health services, which have as their main corporate purpose, the sale of the same, to the different health promoting companies, being the billing process, the most sensitive and directly responsible for processing the information that must be submitted periodically to each Responsible Payment Entity (ERP). The proposal seeks to reduce the rates of objections or glosses, in the accounts that are presented to the health promoting companies, through an adequate internal process that must be strengthened according to each particular need, in the institutions that provide health services, which which implies deep reforms that include adoption of regulations by health institutions and care and administrative personnel, with clear and defined institutional policies that lead to the improvement of the return of resources. The main motivation for the preparation of this improvement proposal is to be able to intervene early in all those aspects that are grounds for objections, which implies that not only the administrative area must be involved in this process, but also the It must involve the care area, so that everything that corresponds to the improvement of pertinent and timely care, can be seen more strengthened and thus involve them in the solution of the problem.

La propuesta busca la reducción de los índices de objeciones o glosas, en las cuentas que se presentan ante las empresas promotoras de salud, mediante un adecuado proceso interno que se debe fortalecer según cada necesidad particular, en las instituciones prestadoras de servicios de salud, lo cual implica reformas profundas que incluyen adopción de la normatividad por parte de las instituciones de salud y el personal asistencial y administrativo, con políticas institucionales claras y definidas que lleven al mejoramiento del retorno de recursos. La motivación principal de la elaboración de la presente propuesta de mejoramiento, es poder intervenir de forma precoz todos aquellos aspectos que son causales de objeciones, lo cual implica que se debe involucrar en este proceso, no solo el área administrativa, sino, que también se debe hacer partícipe al área asistencial, de forma que todo lo que corresponda al mejoramiento de las atenciones pertinentes y oportunas, puedan verse más fortalecidas y de esta forma involucrarlos dentro de la solución del problema Especialización Especialista en Auditoria de la Calidad en Salud Monografías

Health is an increasingly important issue in the workplace, but the dissemination of health-promoting interventions in companies, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), remains limited. Inter-organizational networks seem to be a promising approach to promote and implement workplace health management (WHM) in SMEs. This study analyses the establishment and coordination of the network 'ERZgesund—Healthy Companies in the Ore Mountains' for WHM in SMEs in a rural area of Germany. The case study, which builds on a mixed method approach (expert interviews, participant observations and document analysis), finds that ERZgesund evolved from a top-down approach (politically initiated, regionally anchored and financed from promotional funds). The network's hierarchy is disproportionately vertical, and the project group has limited decision-taking power and limited opportunities to act, which has reduced their overall engagement in the network. We conclude that although long and stable relationships are important for successful networks, change—especially at the leadership level—can lead to increased engagement of network participants if the hierarchy within the network is horizontally aligned. The findings of this explorative case study contribute to the planning process, the development and implementation of network structures, and successful WHM interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This study aimed to understand the lived experiences of patients with cancer that facing inequities in oncological care in the city of Medellín. Patients and Methods: A qualitative study was conducted based on the theoretical and methodological elements of the grounded theory, specifically the description and conceptual ordering of Corbin and Strauss. Sixteen patients with cancer, who belonged to low (n=5), middle (n=4) and high (n=7) social classes, were included by theoretical sampling with category saturation. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed in a category system based on the three social classes. Results: The patients were aged between 23 and 71 years old, and they were diagnosed with different types of cancer such as breast, cervical, prostate, stomach, leukemia and lymphoma. Patients' experiences showed that diagnosis, specialized care, treatment and hospital discharge were different based on their social class. Conclusion: Patients' lived experiences associated with cancer reflect complex social situations, in which social determinants affect the level of citizens' empowerment and self-management against the risks of get disease and die. Being part of low and middle social classes meant being subjected to a dehumanized, cold, impersonal and discontinuous treatment, in which healthcare was focused on the disease instead of individuals' preferences and values. In contrast, patients belonging to the high class had the resources necessary to face risks, which ensured access to more humanized and individualized healthcare. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: To describe the implementation of a postfracture care program in a private hospital in Colombia, the results achieved after the program's first year, and the challenges encountered.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of the first year's outcomes. The program was implemented following best practices described in the "Capture the Fracture" framework. We assessed the management of fractures before the launch of the program. A multidisciplinary group was established to collaborate on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with osteoporotic fractures. A full-time program coordinator was appointed. We analyzed the program's clinical outcomes and limitations.Results: One-hundred and ninety patients were included in the study, with an average age of 76.7. Hip fracture was the most frequent one (33.6%). After the first year of implementing the program, 39.4% of patients received osteoporosis treatment, with an adherence rate of 73%. The incidence of subsequent falls was 5.8% and 1% for new fractures.Conclusions: The implementation of a program for patients' care with fragility fractures is challenging for healthcare institutions. The role of a full-time coordinator is critical for the proper operation of such programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Childhood obesity is increasing in the Middle East and across the globe, due to several environmental factors found in schools and at home. Therefore, implementing Child Nutrition Programmes in schools is essential to deliver nutrition education, school meals, and training to children, teachers and caregivers. We have designed a qualitative study on focus groups using interview based questionnaires, which was applied to 48 kindergartens, 20 parents, two bookstores and 12 global nutrition consulting companies. SPSS 21 was used to analyse the frequency and percentages of the data. This study focused on the barriers and factors that will contribute to the successful implementation of Child Nutrition Programmes in the kindergartens of Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, the respondents showed positive attitudes towards developing child nutrition programmes with the following activities: nutrition education for children, training/workshops for teachers and parents and meal planning for healthy meals at home. According to global consulting companies, the greatest obstacles to the delivery of nutrition programmes to educational institutions are lack of awareness, cost coverage and high resistance and reluctance. Parent pressure, marketing uniqueness and awareness generation should be addressed prior to the programme’s implementation to facilitate programme appreciation and parental acknowledgment. Finally, support from the government and non-government organisations will facilitate the successful implementation of the Child Nutrition Programmes thereby reducing the incidence of childhood obesity in the kindergartens of Saudi Arabia.

Managers have been neglected in health literacy research. There still is little known about the health-literacy status and needs of commercial industry managers. This article reduces the existing knowledge gap by presenting findings of an exploratory qualitative study. We conducted 23 separate semi-structured interviews of managers from all management levels (low, middle and top) and experts in the field of health management and/or personnel management. The qualitative interviews were analysed according to Mayring's content analytic approach using MAXQDA. The findings indicate that managers do have considerable information levels about existing health topics and relevant problems but have difficulties of discernment as to which sources of information can be activated or accessed in a timely fashion due to work and information overload. Even those who devise strategies often fail in implementing health-literate behavior. Experts and managers had fairly consistent views on the importance of health literacy among managers. Most agreed that mental health was neglected and that company conditions were important in influencing the ability to act in a way that promoted health literacy. The findings also show that strengthening of managerial self-perception, self-regulation and self-control, raising awareness and ability to take personal responsibility for one's own health, developing skills in handling large amounts of information and fostering open and trusting communication are all essential.

La experiencia del cliente es uno de los factores decisivos a la hora de mantener y fidelizar a los usuarios, una empresa que gestione de manera adecuada su propuesta de valor en cada una de sus áreas y que ésta sea lo más acorde a lo que el cliente requiere, de seguro conseguirá un buen segmento de mercado y podrá mantenerse en los primeros lugares. En este estudio se pretende validar si las empresas promotoras de salud del régimen contributivo en Colombia pueden gestionar de mejor manera la experiencia del cliente. Teniendo en cuenta que este sector es altamente normativo y que el seguimiento que hacen los entes de control es riguroso en cuanto a la prestación del servicio, conociendo de antemano que la salud es un derecho de la población. Para esto se tomará en cuenta el modelo Customer 360, que consta de cinco etapas que al desarrollarlas generan una propuesta de la mejor forma de gestionar la experiencia, así mismo se validará como el aprovechamiento de los canales de atención, la gestión del cliente interno, el conocimiento de las expectativas del cliente y la mejora continua de los procesos redundan en beneficios para este tipo de organizaciones. The customer experience is one of the decisive factors when it comes to maintaining and retaining users, a company that appropriately manages its value proposition in each of its areas and that this is the most consistent with what the customer requires, you will surely get a good market segment and you will be able to stay in the first places. This study aims to validate whether the health promoting companies of the contributory regime in Colombia can better manage the customer experience. Taking into account that this sector is highly normative and that the monitoring done by the control entities is rigorous in terms of service provision, knowing in advance that health is a right of the population. For this, the Customer 360 model will be taken into account, which consists of five stages that when developed generate a proposal of the best way to manage the experience, and it will also be validated as the use of service channels, internal customer management, Knowledge of customer expectations and continuous process improvement result in benefits for this type of organization.

The academy takes part in the debate on the Colombian health system with research and reflection articles that can have an effect only if they are based on evidence. What is the academic evaluation of the health system and to what extent is based on the evidence? This article presents a systematic review of the literature, identifies the research methods used by the authors of 103 items found in Scielo, and assesses the level of evidence of published work. The literature recognizes the merit of the system consisting of the extension of coverage, and questions three aspects of the system: the weakness of public health and prevention, the rules that emphasize profitability, and the unfulfilled promise of the perfect competition as a mechanism to control costs and improve service and quality. The evidence is weak: there are no articles on the first (strongest) level of evidence, and the majority is concentrated on the sixth (weakest) level. The article concludes that the critique of the system and the reform proposals are based on weak evidence, which explains its rather marginal role in the political debate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Health sector reform was implemented in many Latin American countries in the 1980s and 1990s, leading to reduced public expenditure on health, limitations on public provision for disease control, and a minimum package of services, with concomitant growth of the private sector. At first sight, Ecuador appeared to follow a different pattern: no formal reform was implemented, despite many plans to reform the Ministry of Health and social health insurance. The authors conducted an in-depth review and analysis of published and gray literature on the Ecuadorian health sector from 1990 onward. They found that although neoliberal reform of the health sector was not openly implemented, many of its typical elements are present: severe reduction of public budgets, "universal" health insurance with limited coverage for targeted groups, and contracting out to private providers. The health sector remains segmented and fragmented, explaining the population's poor health status. The leftist Correa government has prepared an excellent long-term plan to unite services of the Ministry of Health and social security, but implementation is extremely slow. In conclusion, the health sector in Ecuador suffered a "silent" neoliberal reform. President Correa's progressive government intends to reverse this, increasing public budgets for health, but hesitates to introduce needed radical changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study underscores the need to incorporate and integrate different perspectives in the implementation of health literacy interventions. To develop health-promoting companies, further research has to provide guides to action for managers and investigate ways in which health literacy can be promoted among managers on all hierarchical levels. Key messages Industry managers in this study agreed that their mental health has been neglected and company conditions were important in influencing the ability to act in a way that promoted health literacy. This study reduces the knowledge gap about the health literacy of managers. Further research should focus on promoting mental health and providing guides to action for managers and companies.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy and in turn, the one that most affects the working population whose treatment implies an economic burden to the health system. The aim of this research was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of conventional surgical treatment and local infiltration of corticosteroids for carpal tunnel syndrome in the Colombian working population. Considering that it is one of the most prevalent occupational diseases, in the country from the perspective of the third payer (Health Promoting Companies and Occupational Risk Insurers). A cost-effectiveness study was carried out in which alternatives of surgical and medical treatment for this pathology were compared, through a decision tree was elaborated in the clinical scenario of a worker with a severe carpal tunnel syndrome for a time horizon of one year, in which the associated direct and indirect costs were included. The results from the scenario and time horizon proposed in relation to this pathology, none of the alternatives turned out to be dominant within the plane of cost-effectiveness. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of the surgery compared to the application of corticosteroids was 1,974,945.68 pesos for 0.6 cases of improvement. In the sensitivity analysis of Monte Carlo, the local application of corticosteroids was cost-effective in 100% of the cases according to the proposed threshold. El síndrome del túnel del carpo (STC) es la neuropatía por atrapamiento más frecuente y, a su vez, la que más afecta a la población trabajadora, cuyo tratamiento implica una carga económica para el sistema de salud . El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el costo-efectividad del tratamiento quirúrgico convencional y la infiltración local de corticoides, para el síndrome del túnel del carpo, en población trabajadora colombiana . Teniendo en cuenta que es una de las enfermedades de origen laboral más prevalentes en el país, se realizó un estudio de costo efectividad, desde la perspectiva del tercer pagador (Empresas Promotoras de Salud y Aseguradoras de Riesgos Laborales), en que se compararon alternativas de tratamiento quirúrgica y médica, para esta patología, para lo cual, se elaboró un árbol de decisión en el escenario clínico de un trabajador con un síndrome del túnel del carpo severo, para un horizonte temporal de un año, en el que se incluyeron los costos directos e indirectos asociados . Los resultados para el escenario y horizonte temporal propuesto en relación con esta patología es que ninguna de las alternativas resultó ser claramente dominante, dentro del plano de costo-efectividad . La razón de costo-efectividad incremental de la cirugía en comparación con la aplicación de corticoides fue de $1 .974 .945,68, por 0,6 casos de mejoría . En el análisis de sensibilidad de Montecarlo, la aplicación lo- cal de corticoides fue costo-efectiva en el 100% de los casos, de acuerdo con el umbral propuesto. Incluye referencias bibliográficas

According to the answers of employers to the representative IAB establishment panel 2004, one-fifth of the companies in Germany voluntarily carried out or financially supported measures for the protection or promotion of the health and well-being of their work force. The proportion of health-promoting companies was above average in all East German federal states as well as in Bavaria, in Saarland and in Lower Saxony. North Rhine-Westphalia was precisely average. In East Germany, almost one-fourth and in West Germany just under one-fifth of all companies surveyed carry out health-promoting measures.Work-site health promotion varies considerably depending on the corresponding federal states, industrial branches and company sizes. Work-site health promotion has ,up to now, been concentrated in big companies and groups. An under-representation of work-site health promotion is observed above all in small and very small companies and particularly in the catering trade. Work-site health promotion was principally determined by analyses of sickness leaves and surveys on health protection in the work place which were mentioned in about 9% and 8% of the companies interviewed. 6% of the companies provided courses on health-relevant ways of behaviour. About 4% of the companies maintain health circles and 5% realised other health promoting measures. Further correlation analyses reveal that in companies with a workers council/staff council, work-site health promotion was significantly much more common. This correlation is especially strong in small and medium-size companies. The longitudinal analysis of the IAB establishment panel 2002 and 2004 reveals much dynamism in work-site health promotion. On the one hand, half of the companies involved in work-site health promotion in 2002 had stopped their commitment to work-site health promotion by 2004. Sustainability remains one of the biggest challenges in work-site health promotion. On the other hand, a bit more than one tenth of the repeatedly interviewed companies started health-promoting activities in 2004. According to the longitudinal data set, altogether 29% of the companies were reached by work-site health promotion measures (for the years 2002 and 2004).

Background: The valuation of medicines as health needs vary depending on the stakeholders involved (users, prescribers, managers, etc.) and their expectations. These factors modulate the role of medicines as a health need and influence access to medicines, and could be useful to explain the rising of Judicialization of access to medicines. Aim: To conduct a comparative analysis of the causes and consequences of judicialization of access to medicines in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Chile from the perspective of medicines as health needs. Methods: A qualitative, cross-country study was carried out in these 4 countries. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 50 representatives of the different stakeholders involved in the judicialization of access to medicines, including Executive branch, Judiciary, health system managers, patient organizations. The interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis used a framework approach based on the theoretical model for medicines as health needs. Findings: Representatives from Argentina, Brazil and Colombia considered judicialization of access to medicines as a widespread phenomenon in their respective countries. Meanwhile in Chile, the respondents highlighted that most lawsuits related to the right to health were filed against private insurers because of unjustified increases in the insurance premiums. The comparative analysis showed that judicialization of access to medicines emerged in the four countries regardless of the constitutional protection or the health system population coverage. Among the causes were mentioned difficulties in guaranteeing access to covered medicines and the influence of pharmaceutical marketing on needs assessment and prescription behaviours. The interviewees highlighted the pressure to health system managers to fulfil their responsibilities as a positive impact of litigation. In contrast, the funding of medicines without evidence of efficacy or safety was considered a negative impact. Only in Brazil, judicialization has had impact on R&D policies. In Colombia, litigation also encouraged the recognition of the right to health as a fundamental right and the development of policies for controlling medicines prices. Conclusion: The results suggest that applying the adopted theoretical model creates the possibility of identifying critical points to guide policy makers to improve the health systems performances and to control lawsuits for access to medicines.

- Abstract
Aims: To determine the frequency of excessive polypharmacy (≥15 medications) in an outpatient population from Colombia and the variables associated with this condition.Methods: A cross-sectional study using a systematised database of 6.2 million affiliates of the Colombian Health System. All patients treated uninterruptedly with 15 or more medications for 3 months (January-March 2017) were included. Sociodemographic, pharmacological, potential drug interactions, and prescribers' variables were identified.Results: A total of 264 patients with prescriptions of ≥15 medications were identified; with an estimated prevalence of excessive polypharmacy of 108.4 per 100 000 people. The mean age was 67.7 ± 17.8 years and 60.6% were females. The mean number of medications per patient was 20.1 ± 4.5 and 48.9% (n = 129) had 20 or more. The most used were antiulcer medications (89.0%; n = 235), antihypertensives (85.6%; n = 226), analgesic/antipyretic (80.3%; n = 212), psychiatric/neurologic medications (78.5%; n = 207), statins (67.4%; n = 178), acetylsalicylic acid (59.5%; n = 157), and vitamins (57.2%; n = 151). On average, each patient had 21.0 ± 11.4 drug-drug interactions and were attended by 6.2 ± 3.1 physicians. Being treated by seven or more physicians (OR: 5.09; 95% CI: 1.64-15.79) increased the probability of receiving more than 20 medications.Conclusions: Drugs for treatment of chronic conditions prevailed, especially in elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions; however, some groups of medications without clear indications, such as antiulcer medications or vitamin supplements, also had extensive use. A main factor that increases the probability of polypharmacy greater than 20 drugs is care by seven or more physicians, which shows a fragmentation in patient care by the country's health system, without achieving co-ordination and integration between the different agents involved in medical care, also influenced by different physicians' practice patterns.

El artículo tiene como propósito caracterizar las principales barreras que sufre la población colombiana al intentar acceder a los servicios de salud. Es un observacional descriptivo exploratorio que emplea técnicas tanto cuantitativas como cualitativas; se basó en los registros de Peticiones, Quejas, Reclamos y Sugerencias que llegaron a la Superintendencia Nacional de Salud de Colombia entre enero-2102 y Junio-2013; además, empleó entrevistas a profundidad a usuarios de los servicios de salud, a funcionarios de las Empresas Promotoras de Salud de Bogotá y de Puntos por el Derecho a la Salud de la Secretaría de Salud de Bogotá. Los usuarios de este estudio evidenciaron limitaciones desde la entrada y búsqueda de la atención por fallas en la comunicación para acceder a los Servicios de Salud; en la continuidad del servicio, se encuentran con barreras derivadas por las autorizaciones, falta de oportunidad para citas médicas especializadas, procedimientos quirúrgicos y entrega de medicamentos. Con base a los hallazgos se puede concluir que las barreras que perciben los usuarios generan percepciones negativas y efectos perjudiciales tanto para éstos, como para sus familias. The scope of this paper is to characterize the main barriers faced by the Colombian population when they attempt to gain access to health services. It is an observational, descriptive and exploratory study using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. It was based on the records of Petitions, Complaints, Claims and Suggestions sent to the National Department of Health of Colombia between January 2102 and June 2013. In-depth interviews were conducted with users of health services, as well as officials of the Health Promoting Companies and Outlets for Right to Health of the Health Department of Bogotá. The study is based on domains proposed by Frenk et al for effective access to health services. Users of this study found limitations starting at admission and search for care due to communication failures in accessing health services. For ongoing care services, they encountered barriers resulting from the need for authorizations, lack of availability of specialist medical appointments, surgical procedures and drug delivery. Based on the findings, the conclusion reached is that the barriers perceived by users generate negative perceptions and harmful consequences both for them and for their families.

La globalización e interdependencia entre países cada día es más ágil debido al avance de la tecnología específicamente por la facilidad de las telecomunicaciones; lo anterior ha permitido desarrollo económico y financiero entre países, en este contexto las políticas sociales deben ser consideradas igual de importantes, pues en la actualidad el gasto de los estados orientado a dichas políticas se ha visto restringido impactando directamente a la población. La salud hace parte de estas políticas y la globalización debe ser una oportunidad para su desarrollo, en el sentido de adoptar mejores prácticas de administración eficiente que permitan maximizar los recursos permitiendo el cubrimiento de las necesidades de la población con oportunidad y calidad. En el Estado Colombiano el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social, ha trabajado desde 1998 en el Plan Nacional de Salud con la orientación y políticas de la Organización Mundial de la Salud OMS y Organización Panamericana de la Salud, organismos que actúan como autoridad directiva y coordinadora en asuntos sanitarios y salud pública a nivel internacional; aunado a dichas estrategias el Estado Colombiano también ha emitido directrices establecidas en la Ley 100 de 1993 por la cual se crea el sistema de seguridad social integral, esta ley determina que Empresas Promotoras de Salud EPS e Instituciones Prestadoras de Servicios IPS (dentro de las cuales están los Hospitales de III y IV nivel), cumplan con la aplicación del Sistema Obligatorio de Garantía de Calidad, para acceder a la oferta de servicios de salud. Globalization and interdependence between countries is every day more quick due the technological advances, specifically for ease of telecommunications; this has allowed economic and financial development between countries, in this context, social policies should be considered equally important, because nowadays the spending of the states that is aimed to these policies has been restricted, directly impacting the population. The health is part of these policies and the globalization should be an opportunity for their development, in sense of taking better efficient management practices to maximize the resources and allow the coverage of the population needs with timeliness and quality. In the Colombian Government, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection has worked since 1998 on the National Health Plan, directed by the World Health Organization WHO policies and Pan-American Health Organization, these organisms act as directive and coordinator authority on sanitary issues and health public in an international level, connected to such strategies the Colombian Government has also issued guidelines established in Law 100 of 1993, by which is created the Integral Social Security System. This law determines that the Health Promoting Companies HPC and Services Provider institutions SPI (within which are the Third and Fourth level Hospitals) should fulfill with the application of the Mandatory Quality Assurance System, to access to the offer of health services.
