However, in recent times, the use of technology has played a crucial role in the effective management of disease outbreaks. The 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa witnessed unprecedented applications of digital innovations to key areas of the public health response- disease surveillance, health worker training and public education; with satisfactory results. In Nigeria in particular, these interventions were partly credited with the swift containment of the outbreak and prevention of significant catastrophic damage. These technological solutions, though relatively simple, present the possibility for reverse technology transfer. Long standing protocols and approaches in disaster response currently in use in developed countries can be modified and improved upon, taking into account lesson from successes achieved using technology in the fight against Ebola in West Africa.</p>","PeriodicalId":80252,"journal":{"name":"World hospitals and health services : the official journal of the International Hospital Federation","volume":"52 3","pages":"17-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36967914","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}

The study researched mobile payment acceptability by turning a clinic to be completely cashless for a six-week period. Baseline data was collected to gauge the effects of mobile payment on administrative costs and revenue. Surveys and in-depth interviews were carried out to assess the acceptability of mobile payment among staff and patients.

The mixed public-private system in Australia has some imperfections including the fragmentation of care and limitations to fund use oversight, however overall, the system serves Australians relatively well.

Amongst the several accrediting agencies across the world, the Joint Commission International, (JCI) stands out as the gold standard in healthcare accreditation. The patient safety journey for hospitals like the Apollo Group, formally started with Apollo Hospitals, Delhi becoming the first JCI accredited Hospital in India, in 2005. In the years to come, eight hospitals of the Group also became JCI accredited; taking the number of hospitals accredited by JCI to twenty-three in the country. The National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare providers (NABH) was formed thereafter and today nearly three hundred hospitals are accredited by NABH across the country.
