Negotiating a fair compensation package.

At the end of the day, compensation packages must be fair for both you and your employer. Employers should conduct an economic analysis to determine what they can afford to offer and calculate the economic return that they should rightfully receive. Understanding the employer's side of the equation is equally important in developing a win/win compensation package for yourself.

A comparison of the outcomes of partnership caseload midwifery and standard hospital care in low risk mothers.

BACKGROUND: Maternal and infant clinical outcomes were compared for low risk mothers receiving a partnership caseload model of midwifery care, known as Primary Health Midwifery Care (PHMC), and standard hospital care (SHC). METHODS: Using secondary analysis of data from the Obstet Data System routine collection (PHMC n=976, SHC n=976) from a large metropolitan hospital, maternal and infant clinical outcomes were examined. RESULTS: Odds ratios (OR) demonstrated reduced rates of interventions for multiparous women (OR 0.62 [CI 0.49-0.80]), with multiparous women receiving PHMC being more likely to have a normal delivery (OR 1.75 [CI 1.22-2.5]). A higher proportion of both primiparous and multiparous women receiving PHMC received pethidine during labour (OR 1.78 [1.33-2.39], OR 1.55 [1.19-2.01] respectively). Primiparous women receiving PHMC underwent fewer episiotomies with an associated increase in the proportion of women experiencing perineal tears (OR 1.93, CI 2.35-2.78), although perineum trauma rates were similar for both care models. Similar and very small numbers of infants in both parity groups and care models had an Apgar of less than seven at five minutes or were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit or special care unit. CONCLUSION: This study, within the limitations of its design, supports the safety of the partnership caseload midwifery care model, in addition to reduced rates of interventions experienced by multiparous women and fewer episiotomies in primiparous low risk English-speaking women receiving caseload care.

A rural public-private partnership model in tuberculosis control in south India.

SETTING: A rural tuberculosis (TB) unit in South India, 2001-2003. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a rural public-private partnership model (PPPM) within the TB control programme (RNTCP). DESIGN: All of the private practitioners trained in modern medicine (PPs, n = 52) and the private laboratories (PLs, n = 13) in the area were listed. The PPs underwent training about the RNTCP, and PL staff were trained in sputum microscopy. PPPM included referral of TB suspects to the smear microscopy centres (government or PLs) for diagnosis and treatment of patients as per RNTCP guidelines. Patients were back-referred to the PPs. The directly observed treatment providers and centres were chosen by the PPs in consultation with their patients. The case detection rate, cure rate and profile of patients referred by the PPs were compared with those of self-reported patients. RESULTS: Of 489 TB suspects referred by the PPs, 24% were smear-positive compared to 10% of 15 278 self-reported patients (P < 0.001). Of 319 referred to PLs, 7% were smear-positive. The annual average case detection rate increased from 66 to 75 per 100 000 population. The cure rates of patients referred by the PPs were comparable to those of self-reported patients. CONCLUSIONS: This rural PPPM is effective and does not require additional staff or any direct financial incentives.

Sharing the burden.

Expense sharing arrangements are extremely beneficial to dentists and not just in a financial sense. They can be easy to organise and administer, but must be based on a proper written legal agreement.
