How Are Women Who Are Making Less Than $2 a Day Using Mobile Tech? Posted by AnneryanHeatwole on Mar 09, 2012 March 8th is International Women's Day and to mark the occasion, the GSMA mWomen Programme has released a study called " Striving and Surviving – Exploring the Lives of Women at the Base of the Pyramid ." Drawn from 2,500 interviews with women (aged 16-64 in both rural and urban areas) living on less that $2 a day in Egypt, India, Papua New Guinea, and Uganda, the report looks at how mobile technology influences the way women approach health, economic development, and family relationships, and what mobile operators can do to reach more low-income women. The report is divided into three parts; part one looks at the social, cultural, and economic factors that women at the base of the economic pyramid face in their daily lives, part two looks at the role of mobile technology in their lives, and part three looks at how technology can be used to further reach low-income women. 80% reported being connected to friends and family
mHealth Alliance Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability News, Press Releases, Feeds, Events and More Model for Future Health Care Services | Developing Better Services | DHSSPS(NI) Under DBS we are working to develop a model of health care which will provide high quality, safe services which are accessible for all and provided by well trained, motivated staff in modern settings. Over the next twenty years two distinct forces will define the shape of our health services, namely: Greater provision of generalist services within communities or on a day-patient or out-patient basis than is the case at present. The role of hospitals is to support community-based care services in promoting health and wellbeing. Within each Board area, the Area Programme Board has responsibility for taking forward the developments under Developing Better Services. The overarching model for future health care services has been set out in Regional Strategy “A Healthier Future: A Twenty Year vision for Health and Wellbeing in Northern Ireland 2005-2025”.

Five Payment Models: The Pros, the Cons Back to Table of Contents | February 2011 Five Payment Models: The Pros, the Cons, the Potential By Janet Silversmith on behalf of the MMA Work Group to Advance Health Care Reform ■ Among the leading strategies to reform health care is the development and implementation of new payment models. The goal is to change the way physicians, hospitals, and other care providers are paid in order to emphasize higher quality at lower costs—in other words, to improve value. In an effort to build on its health care reform activities that began in 2005, the Minnesota Medical Association convened a work group in 2010 to develop recommendations on how payment reform can best be advanced. ■ Payment ModelsThe five payment models that the MMA work group reviewed are fee for service, pay for coordination, pay for performance, episode or bundled payment, and comprehensive care or total cost of care payment. Several different perspectives can be used to evaluate payment models. References1.
