Background: Peru has increased substantially its domestic public expenditure in maternal and child health. Peruvian departments are heterogeneous in contextual and geographic factors, underlining the importance of disaggregated expenditure analysis up to the district level. We aimed to assess possible district level factors influencing public expenditure on reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child health (RMNCH) in Peru. Methods: We performed an ecological study in 24 departments, with specific RMNCH expenditure indicators as outcomes, and covariates of different hierarchical dimensions as predictors. To account for the influence of variables included in the different dimensions over time and across departments, we chose a stepwise multilevel mixed-effects regression model, with department-year as the unit of analysis. Results: Public expenditure increased in all departments, particularly for maternal-neonatal and child health activities, with a different pace across departments. The multilevel analysis did not reveal consistently influential factors, except for previous year expenditure on reproductive and maternal-neonatal health. Our findings may be explained by a combination of inertial expenditure, a results-based budgeting approach to increase expenditure efficiency and effectiveness, and by a mixed-effects decentralization process. Sample size, interactions and collinearity cannot be ruled out completely. Conclusions: Public district-level RMNCH expenditure has increased remarkably in Peru. Evidence on underlying factors influencing such trends warrants further research, most likely through a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches.Type

Assessment of Rehabilitation Infrastructure in PeruFuhs, Amy K.; LaGrone, Lacey N.; Moscoso Porras, Miguel G.; Rodríguez Castro, Manuel J.; Ecos Quispe, Rosa Lizbeth; Mock, Charles N. (W.B. Saunders, 2017-11)Objective: To assess rehabilitation infrastructure in Peru in terms of the World Health Organization (WHO) health systems building blocks. Design: Anonymous quantitative survey; questions were based on the WHO's Guidelines for Essential Trauma Care and rehabilitation professionals' input. Setting: Large public hospitals and referral centers and an online survey platform. Participants: Convenience sample of hospital personnel working in rehabilitation and neurology (N=239), recruited through existing contacts and professional societies. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Outcome measures were for 4 WHO domains: health workforce, health service delivery, essential medical products and technologies, and health information systems. Results: Regarding the domain of health workforce, 47% of physical therapists, 50% of occupational therapists, and 22% of physiatrists never see inpatients. Few reported rehabilitative nurses (15%) or prosthetist/orthotists (14%) at their hospitals. Even at the largest hospitals, most reported ≤3 occupational therapists (54%) and speech-language pathologists (70%). At hospitals without speech-language pathologists, physical therapists (49%) or nobody (34%) perform speech-language pathology roles. At hospitals without occupational therapists, physical therapists most commonly (59%) perform occupational therapy tasks. Alternate prosthetist/orthotist task performers are occupational therapists (26%), physical therapists (19%), and physicians (16%). Forty-four percent reported interdisciplinary collaboration. Regarding the domain of health services, the most frequent inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation barriers were referral delays (50%) and distance/transportation (39%), respectively. Regarding the domain of health information systems, 28% reported rehabilitation service data collection. Regarding the domain of essential medical products and technologies, electrophysical agents (88%), gyms (81%), and electromyography (76%) were most common; thickened liquids (19%), swallow studies (24%), and cognitive training tools (28%) were least frequent. Conclusions: Rehabilitation emphasis is on outpatient services, and there are comparatively adequate numbers of physical therapists and physiatrists relative to rehabilitation personnel. Financial barriers seem low for accessing existing services. There appear to be shortages of inpatient rehabilitation, specialized services, and interdisciplinary collaboration. These may be addressed by redistributing personnel and investing in education and equipment for specialized services. Further examination of task sharing's role in Peru's rehabilitation services is necessary to evaluate its potential to address deficiencies. © 2017 American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine.

La comunicación interna en una cultura organizacional basada en la promoción de la Salud. Caso DoktuzVargas Sardon, Jorge Lucas; Pezo Avila, Andrea Marlene (Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC)PE, 2019-12-03)La presente investigación busca explorar cómo la gestión de la comunicación interna, en los centros de salud privados del Perú, se utiliza como herramienta para difundir una cultura organizacional basada en el más reciente concepto de promoción de la salud propuesto por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). El modelo usado para identificar el manejo de la comunicación interna, que contribuya a una cultura de promoción de la salud, se basa en las “cinco íes” de Andrade, el cual fue adaptado posteriormente a las “seis íes” de Bustamante y al que se le ha agregado la sub-categoría de estilo de liderazgo para esta investigación. Para ello, se ha tomado al Centro Médico Doktuz como caso de estudio donde se aplicó una metodología cualitativa fenomenológica. Como resultado se obtuvo que el Centro Médico no tiene una cultura organizacional basada en la promoción de la salud institucionalizada, ya que su filosofía de salud preventiva de fácil acceso a la comunidad lo ha llevado a gestionar la comunicación interna solo desde un enfoque de salud ocupacional y de Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC).Acceso abierto

Modelo de supervisión basado en el riesgo para instituciones prestadoras de servicios de salud como herramienta para la protección de los derechos en salud en PerúBenítes-Zapata, Vicente A.; Saravia-Chong, Héctor A; Mezones-Holguín, Edward; Aquije-Díaz, Allen J; Villegas-Ortega, José; Rossel-de-Almeida, Gustavo; Acosta-Saal, Carlos; Philipps-Cuba, Flor; vbeniteszapata@gmail.com (Instituto Nacional de Salud (INS), 2016-09)Objetivos. Describir el modelo de supervisión de las Instituciones Prestadoras de Servicios de Salud (IPRESS) de la Superintendencia Nacional de Salud (SUSALUD) y evaluar los factores asociados al porcentaje de cumplimiento normativo ajustado a riesgo (%CNAR) en las IPRESS del Sistema de Salud Peruano (SSP). Materiales y Métodos. Se realizó un estudio de caso sobre el desarrollo e implementación de un modelo de supervisión ajustado a riesgo basado en la norma ISO 31000-2009. Con la IPRESS como unidad de análisis, se calcularon los %CNAR (un puntaje continuo entre 0 a 100) de las supervisiones integrales (SI) y supervisiones selectivas efectuadas durante los años 2013 al 2015. Un mayor %CNAR implica un menor riesgo operacional. Se estimaron coeficientes β con IC95% mediante modelos lineales generalizados para valorar la asociación entre el %CNAR (variable de respuesta) y el subsector, la región, el nivel de complejidad y el año de supervisión (variables de exposición). Resultados. Se ejecutaron 1444 supervisiones. En las SI, solo la Seguridad Social en Salud (ESSALUD) tuvo mayor %CNAR que los centros privados [(β=7,7%;IC95%(3,5 a 11,9)]. Las IPRESS de la Costa [β=-5,2;IC95%(-9,4 a -1,0)], Sierra [β=-12,5;IC95%(-16,7 a -8,3)] y Selva [β=-12,6;IC95%(-17,7 a -7,6)] tuvieron menor %CNAR que aquellas ubicadas en Lima Metropolitana. El %CNAR fue superior en el año 2015 [β=10,8IC95%(6,4 a 15,3)] en relación al año 2013. Conclusiones. El %CNAR difiere por subsector, región y año de supervisión. En las SI las IPRESS supervisadas en ESSALUD, Lima Metropolitana y el año 2015, tuvieron mejores puntuaciones. Se sugiere la puesta en marcha de acciones orientadas a mejorar el %CNAR con el propósito de favorecer el ejercicio de los derechos en salud en el SSP.Acceso abierto
