These include, among others, barriers between public health and clinical-surgical medicine; among levels and types of health professionals; among the differing perspectives and sometimes opposing interests of patients, health professionals, health policymakers, and other stakeholders; and between the public and private sector.
Adopting a systems-thinking perspective, the Program facilitates and promotes dialogue between medical and non-medical fields to produce insights, methods, networks, and opportunities related to the improvement of the health of individuals and populations and the development of the Philippine health landscape.
The flagship project of the Program is Philippine Primary Care Studies (PPCS). The PPCS is a series of quasi-experimental pilot studies in representative settings in the Philippines: corporate, rural, and geographically isolated disadvantaged areas (GIDAs). The PHSD will also conduct studies, surveys, and data mining on health systems enhancements and outcome measures such as patient satisfaction, knowledge and quality of primary care, financial risk protection, and administrative efficiency.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Contact” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:20|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Oswald%3A300%2Cregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1553561285950{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1553561219656{margin-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-envelope-o” color=”custom” size=”xs” align=”center” custom_color=”#a5a5a5″ css=”.vc_custom_1553561202044{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1578451117598{margin-top: 18px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}”][email protected][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
