Manpower planning: a suitable case for treatment?

The article sets out the current pressures on the health service to radically revise the processes of manpower planning in use. Issues discussed include the conventional problems of managing uncertainty over longer timescales and the use of relevant data. However, the need for raised awareness across all professions of the sources of influence on the service is also discussed. The use of scenario planning approaches is suggested. A case example is provided of a trial attempt to examine the major forces influencing the N.W. Thames RHA, in order to derive from them the manpower and training implications. Detailed data from the early stages of the project are presented, illustrating the impact of technological advances and of social trends on health care delivery. Interim conclusions are then drawn from this work.

Public Health Service--health systems agencies and state health planning and development agencies; certificate of need reviews. Notice regarding certificate of need programs.

This Notice sets forth advance information regarding amendments to the regulations governing certificate of need reviews by health systems agencies and State health planning and development agencies. This Notice is intended to provide early guidance to States prior to publication of interim final regulations implementing the amendments to certificate of need provisions of the Public Health Service Act made by the Health Planning and Resources Development Amendments of 1979 (Pub. L 96-79). This early guidance will assist the States in beginning to revise their certificate of need laws. Under the amended provisions of the Public Health Service Act, the planning agencies are required to review and determine the need for proposed capital expenditures, institutional health services and major medical equipment. The Secretary intends to publish these interim final regulations within a few weeks. Following consideration of comments which will be solicited with regard to the interim regulations, the Secretary will publish an analysis of the comments and will revise those regulations as appropriate.

Health and loyalty promotion visits for new enrollees: results of a randomized controlled trial.

Managed care needs effective and efficient ways to orient new members, enhance trust and loyalty, and offer prevention and self-care education and services. Recent adult enrollees of Kaiser Permanente (Northern California) were randomly assigned to one of three intervention conditions (n = 286) (individual visit with a physician, physician visit plus a visit with a health educator, a group visit of eight new members led by a physician and health educator) or a random control group (n = 278). Outcomes were gauged via pre- and post-visit questionnaires and a 20-min telephone survey at baseline and at a 6-month follow-up. Compared to controls, attendees of the three interventions had higher satisfaction, self-rated prevention knowledge, acceptance of health plan guidelines, and were more likely to plan to remain in the health plan. Group visit attendees stood out as experiencing the greatest benefits and were especially likely to report saving a telephone call or visit to their doctor by using a self-care handbook.
