Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.6K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Area of Science:

  • Disability Studies
  • Health Systems Research
  • Technology Access

Background:

  • Assistive technology (AT) is crucial for the rights of persons with disabilities.
  • Global access to AT is limited, especially in lower- and middle-income countries.
  • Stakeholder engagement analysis helps identify and address gaps in AT ecosystems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To map the Kenyan Assistive Technology Ecosystem.
  • To identify available AT products and services in Kenya.
  • To understand stakeholder relationships within the Kenyan AT network.

Main Methods:

  • An online qualitative survey was conducted in 2021.
  • Survey participants represented organizations involved in AT in Kenya.
  • The study focused on understanding the nature and strength of stakeholder relationships.

Main Results:

  • The Kenyan AT network is distributed, with government bodies and organizations of persons with disabilities as central nodes.
  • Relationships are strongest in awareness and communication, with limited active collaboration.
  • Organizations focused on innovation training are not yet well-integrated into the network.

Conclusions:

  • Greater collaboration among all AT stakeholders is essential to improve AT access in Kenya.
  • Addressing integration gaps can strengthen the overall AT ecosystem.
  • Enhanced stakeholder networks can lead to better outcomes for persons with disabilities.
