Using routinely collected data to determine care cascades of hypertension and type-2 diabetes management in China: a cross-sectional study
Summary China’s National Essential Public Health Service Package (NEPHSP) aims to promote health for all at the primary health care level and includes a focus on hypertension and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, there are limited contemporary data to quantify the care cascades of hypertension and T2DM in primary health care.
Community health extension workers’ training and supervision in Ethiopia: Exploring impact and implementation challenges for non-communicable disease service delivery
The context: Health extension worker role in delivering non-communicable disease services Our findings showed that although the scope of work for HEWs in the newly revised HEP encompasses the prevention, promotion, early screening of NCDs and referral of suspected cases to PHC units, their role was generally limited to NCD prevention services.
The impact of COVID-19 on essential health service provision for endemic infectious diseases in the South-East Asia region: A systematic review
Non-peer reviewed sources of information for HIV and TB Three non-per reviewed information sources were identified from 2 multilateral organisations (The Global Fund and the World Health organisation) and 1 Government report (Government of Nepal) that reported on changes to service provision for TB, HIV, or both as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The impact of COVID-19 on essential health service provision for noncommunicable diseases in the South-East Asia region: A systematic review
Summary Background COVID-19 has had a profound impact on the health systems of the 11 countries of the WHO South East Asia Region. We conducted a systematic review of studies that used quantitative and comparative approaches to assess the impact of the pandemic on the service provision of four noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) (cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes) in the region.
Collaborative Commissioning: regional funding models to support value‐based care in New South Wales
With rising expenditure, growing chronic disease burden, and widening inequalities, the health system is in urgent need of redesign Although Australia has a high performing health system, like most high income countries, it faces unbridled growth in health care spending — now exceeding 10% of the gross domestic product.1 In New South Wales, universal access to health care is provided for about 8 million people.

Loading metrics Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article Genevieve Coorey , David Peiris, Tim Usherwood, Lis Neubeck, John Mulley, Julie Redfern Genevieve Coorey, David Peiris, Tim Usherwood, Lis Neubeck, John Mulley, Julie Redfern Published: June 20, 2019 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0218447 Figures Abstract Introduction eHealth strategies targeting health-related behaviour often incorporate persuasive software design.
A computer‐guided quality improvement tool for primary health care: cost‐effectiveness analysis based on TORPEDO trial data
High quality health systems are a major focus for health care reform in Australia.1 In July 2015, Medicare Locals were replaced by 31 primary health networks (PHNs) with the aim of improving population health.
The NASSS framework for ex post theorisation of technology-supported change in healthcare: worked example of the TORPEDO programme
Abstract Background Evaluation of health technology programmes should be theoretically informed, interdisciplinary, and generate in-depth explanations. The NASSS (non-adoption, abandonment, scale-up, spread, sustainability) framework was developed to study unfolding technology programmes in real time—and in particular to identify and manage their emergent uncertainties and interdependencies.
Task-sharing for the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases
The UN's Sustainable Development Goal 3.4 aims to reduce premature mortality due to non-communicable diseases by a third by 2030. To achieve this goal, WHO estimated in 2013 that an additional 17·4 million health workers were needed worldwide, with the greatest shortage in southeast Asia (where 6·9 million workers are needed), followed by Africa (which needs 4·2 million workers). 1 WHOHealth workforce requirements for universal health coverage and the sustainable development goals.
Cardiovascular disease risk and comparison of different strategies for blood pressure management in rural India
There are three important findings from this large cross-sectional study. First, a substantial proportion of this rural Indian population is at elevated risk of CVD. Second, many low-risk individuals currently receive BP lowering therapy, while treatment gaps among intermediate- and high-risk populations remain.
Developing cardiovascular disease risk programs in India-Why location and wealth matter
Assessment of a person’s total or absolute risk of a cardiovascular disease (CVD) event based on multiple risk factors is superior to assessment of single risk factors when identifying who is at greatest risk of a CVD event [1]. In this issue of PLOS Medicine, a study by Rifat Atun and colleagues outlines the use of CVD risk prediction equations for population health rather than for clinical purposes [2].
Implementation science: Relevance in the real world without sacrificing rigor
The need for implementation science in health is now broadly recognized, and a working understanding of the qualities that make an implementation study “good” is needed more than ever before. As defined by Mittman and Eccles, implementation research “is the scientific study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of research findings and other evidence-based practices into routine practice, and, hence, to improve the quality and effectiveness of health services.
Gender inequalities in cardiovascular risk factor assessment and management in primary healthcare
Objectives To quantify contemporary differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor assessment and management between women and men in Australian primary healthcare services. Methods Records of routinely attending patients were sampled from 60 Australian primary healthcare services in 2012 for the Treatment of Cardiovascular Risk using Electronic Decision Support study.
Gender inequalities in cardiovascular risk factor assessment and management in primary healthcare
While differences in CVD assessment and management between women and men have been observed in other countries, the extent to which this may be an issue in Australian primary healthcare is unknown. We aimed to determine whether measurement of CVD risk factors and guidelines recommended medication prescriptions varied between women and men in a large Australian primary healthcare cohort. There is evidence that risk assessments and medication adherence have a positive impact on outcomes.
ACOs Holding Commercial Contracts Are Larger And More Efficient Than Noncommercial ACOs
Accountable care organizations (ACOs) have diverse contracting arrangements and have displayed wide variation in their performance. Using data from national surveys of 399 ACOs, we examined differences between the 228 commercial ACOs (those with commercial payer contracts) and the 171 noncommercial ACOs (those with only public contracts, such as with Medicare or Medicaid).
Patients’ and Providers’ Perspectives of a Polypill Strategy to Improve Cardiovascular Prevention in Australian Primary Health Care
Methods and Results—In-depth, semistructured interviews (n=94) were conducted with health providers and patients from Australian general practice, Aboriginal community-controlled and government-run Indigenous Health Services participating in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial evaluating a polypill-based strategy for high-risk primary and secondary cardiovascular disease prevention.
