residents perception of duty hour limits through teaching Hospital Accreditation status experience in taiwan
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2017Co-Authors: Tsung-hsi Wang, Brian C. Drolet, Kun-yu Tsai, Yu-fu LiuAbstract:Residents' work overload is a rising issue in Taiwan. Duty hours of the residents in the United States have been limited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Common Program Requirements since 2003; similar standards were not implemented in Taiwan until 2013. Taiwanese duty hour standards are the work hour limits adopted as part of the required teaching Hospital Accreditation status. In January 2015, the Ministry of Health and Welfare conducted a national survey for all house officers in Taiwan. We collected data including those on demographics and perceptions of residents regarding duty hour limits. Most respondents reported positive perceptions of the duty hour standards. They felt that these limits will improve resident education, quality of life, and patient safety. The strong incentive to follow the regulations (through teaching Hospital Accreditation) could help protect residents (and patients) from unsafe working conditions. However, further studies on the influence of shortened duty hour on professional development are necessary for future improvement.

implementing a national Hospital Accreditation program the zambian experience
International Journal for Quality in Health Care, 2002Co-Authors: N Bukonda, Paula Tavrow, H Abdallah, Karen Hoffner, J TemboAbstract:Objectives. This study describes the development of the Zambia Hospital Accreditation Program from 1997 to 2000. Ten major milestones are presented and discussed, as are challenges to the program. Design. Data were collected through a review of written documents, interviews with major stakeholders, Hospital visits, and discussions with implementers. Main outcome measures. Zambia has successfully developed Hospital standards that are relevant and potentially achievable by its Hospitals. Half of Zambia’s 79 Hospitals have received educational surveys, and 12 have also received the full Accreditation survey. Significant improvement in compliance with standards occurred in overall scores, and in seven out of 13 functional areas. However, the program has stalled due to lack of sufficient funds, lack of legal standing for the Zambia Health Accreditation Council, difficulties in retaining qualified surveyors, and indecision on how to handle Accreditation results. In addition, serious resource constraints in Hospitals and the need for ongoing facilitation have hindered their full participation in the program. It is estimated that the program costs about US$10 000 per Hospital to complete the cycle. Conclusions. Having a developing country sustain an Accreditation program requires dedicated funds, government and donor commitment, continual adaptation, ongoing technical assistance to Hospitals, and a functioning Accreditation body. In Zambia, the accrediting Council was stymied by a heavy workload, lack of legitimacy and budget authority, and the government’s indecision on incentives and feedback. Long delays arose between Accreditation surveys and feedback of written results. Zambia has now begun to include some Accreditation standards in performance audits and is considering decentralizing survey functions.

setting up a national Hospital Accreditation program the zambian experience
2000Co-Authors: N Bukonda, H Abdallah, J Tembo, Karin N JayAbstract:In 1997 Zambia became one of the first countries in sub-Saharan Africa to launch a national Hospital Accreditation program. In mid-2000 a team of researchers was organized to assess the milestones and successes of the Zambian Accreditation program and document the challenges it faces. This documentation included reviewing relevant documents and budgets interviewing key policy-makers and stakeholders and examining Accreditation survey data. To assess the performance of the program the report referred to a framework of seven vital elements for an Accreditation programs success. The research team compiled 10 milestones of the Zambia program: 1) recognizing the need to improve quality; 2) choosing the right Accreditation model; 3) setting up the formal structure; 4) developing and testing standards; 5) training surveyors; 6) conducting consultative surveys; 7) refining policies and procedures; 8) developing the database; 9) conducting full Accreditation surveys; and 10) interpreting findings and making Accreditation decisions. They also noted that the program is at a critical juncture and urgently needs to resolve some important issues. Most important of these is to finalize the Accreditation manual for Hospitals to achieve legal status and an administrative structure for the Zambia Health Accreditation Council to communicate the results of the first round of Accreditation surveys and to determine how to assist Hospitals that do not achieve Accreditation status.
