Services utilities

To avoid cluttering up the flow-sheet, it is not normal practice to show the service headers and lines on the process flow-sheet. The service connections required on each piece of equipment should be shown and labelled. The service requirements for each piece of equipment can be tabulated on the flow-sheet.

The development of any program must take into consideration the maintenance tasks that need be carried out and the resources available, thereby ensuring that product quality and personnel safety standards are met. It follows that operational demands, whether they be from a service utility installation, a production line, a mainframe computer or an office environment, will play a major part in reaching the decision as to what type of maintenance program requires implementation.

Techniques are needed to record services used by patients, families and others affected by a mental health problem or its treatment. Techniques are also needed to calculate the associated unit costs. These are separate activities. Many instruments have been developed to collect service utilization data.

Evaluate Effectiveness, Accessibility, and Quality of Personal and Population-Based Health Services. This service calls for ongoing evaluation of health programs, based on analysis of health status and service utilization data. 

There are, however, those who have no specific financial support or capacity to pay for health care services and who are not eligible for any type of entitlements. These individuals must rely on some form of charity care or services. In addition, there are those who, for reasons of geographic remoteness or total inability to gain access, have no access to health care services. This group represents a complex, resource-based demand model, which also has an equally complex pattern of health care system and services-utilization requirements. 

The financial conundrum. There are a myriad of choices for funding the prescription benefit. Costs could be financed as they are right now with Part B participation. Beneficiaries and the government contribute to the benefit. Workers and retirees enrolled in employer-sponsored heath plans will have to be taken into account. Beneficiaries who are on Medicaid will present issues that the state and federal governments will have to resolve. Recent drug benefit proposals for the low-income participants have indicated a strong preference for full or partial subsidies for the premium payments and cost sharing for the prescriptions and pharmaceutical services utilized. 

Cash subsidies may or may not specify the inputs they subsidize They include lump-sum payments and block contracts to provide a set of services tax rebates (on the construction of health facilities in underserved areas, for example) and capitated payments based solely on a catchment population. (A capitation payment that depends on the number of patients actually using a provider regularly or a system in which patients lose access to service when they shift to a different provider is a demand-side subsidy, as it is linked to the output of service utilization.)...
