Recognising the foundational role of patient participation in enhancing clinical outcomes, healthcare organisations increasingly integrate patient inputs and resources into their management strategies. Patient and family advisory councils represent a primary form of collective patient engagement at the organisational level. Patient and family advisory councils actively engage in all levels of the hospital system to enhance quality improvement and meet the demands of patients. Despite recognised importance, empirical evidence regarding their roles as strategic resources and impact on hospital performance remains unexplored. Incorporating patient engagement into the social resource-based view, this study addresses how comprehensive strategic resources are associated with a hospital's quality of care and patient satisfaction outcomes. Utilising hospital-level data from 2018 to 2020, a cross-sectional time-series ordered logit analysis examines the quality of care and patient satisfaction models. The findings reveal that patient engagement, physical resources, and human capital are positively associated with hospital quality of care and patient satisfaction. In contrast, a social resource—a minority population—is negatively associated with hospital outcomes. This study contributes theoretical and practical implications. It synthesises patient engagement into the Social Resource-Based approach and provides consistent empirical evidence. In addition, it suggests evidence for practitioners to develop and manage patient engagement as a strategic resource.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47637,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Health Planning and Management","volume":"40 2","pages":"346-357"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142676888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, programme integration can unintentionally impact service provision and disrupt the overall organisation of service delivery. In this paper, I examine the integrated programme for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and explore the challenges related to the deployment of health workers. Specifically, I investigate the institutional processes that shape the work of health workers and the working conditions in district hospitals. To explore the social organisation of the implementation of the integrated NCD programme, I employed institutional ethnography as a research method. Data collection involved interviews, participant observation, and document reviews. Data analysis was conducted using social mapping, analytical writing, and textual analysis methods. The findings of the study suggest that due to staff shortages and a lack of doctors, health workers are continuously subjected to deployment and often required to undertake multiple tasks and responsibilities without any incentives or non-monetary benefits. Administrators perceive health workers in integrated programs as additional human resources available for use in district hospitals. However, the removal of health workers from integrated programs can have negative implications for service delivery and patients' health outcomes. Finding of the study suggests that it is recommended that administrators improve the staff recruitment process and promptly address the grievances of health workers to enhance healthcare delivery.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47637,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Health Planning and Management","volume":"40 2","pages":"335-345"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142644915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
