With the development of drug resistance and the co-epidemic of HIV, tuberculosis has already started to make a comeback in wealthier countries. The WHO's solution to this global tuberculosis epidemic is the DOTS strategy, the implementation of which presents many problems. The two issues most common to the majority of locations are delay in presentation for treatment and non-completion of treatment. This review looks at the reasons for these problems in the less developed world, and addresses some solutions. The main reasons for delayed presentation are: a lack of understanding about TB; the stigma associated with the disease; the inaccessibility of treatment; and a preference for private practitioners. The main reasons for non-completion of treatment are: the stigma of the disease; a lack of information; dissatisfaction with the treatment and its delivery; and inaccessibility of treatment. Successful implementations of the DOTS strategy need to address all these issues. There is little evidence that DOT enhances treatment completion unless combined with other strategies. Community-based, patient-orientated DOTS appears to be an appropriate way of addressing many of these issues. The involvement of volunteers in community-based strategies is common, but needs more research in order for this strategy to realise its full potential.","PeriodicalId":80033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of management in medicine","volume":"16 4-5","pages":"371-400"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1108/02689230210446544","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22138793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Severe penalties, including imprisonment, suggest that fraudulent billing, and related misclassification of services provided to patients, would be greatly reduced or eliminated as a result of increased government investigation and reprisal. This study sought to measure the extent to which health information managers reported being influenced by superiors to manipulate coding and classification of patient data. Findings from a nationwide survey of managers suggest that such practices are still pervasive, despite recent counter-fraud legislation and highly visible prosecution of fraudulent behaviors. Examining variation in influences exerted from both within and external to specific service delivery settings, results suggest that pressure to alter classification codes occurred both within and external to the provider setting. We also examine how optimization influences vary across demographic, practice setting, and market characteristics, and find significant variation in influence across practice settings and market types. Implications for reimbursement programs and evidence-based health care are discussed.","PeriodicalId":80033,"journal":{"name":"Journal of management in medicine","volume":"16 6","pages":"422-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1108/02689230210450981","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22201645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
