Exploring the health system for sustainable and integrated acute malnutrition services applying a systems lens : the case of Afghanistan Universiteit Gent
Introduction: Afghanistan has an estimated annual burden of severe acute malnutrition in children under five of over 600,000, with less then 30% accessing care. Since 2009, acute malnutrition has been part of the country’s Basic Package of Health Services, which is outsourced for implementation to local partners and regulated by the Ministry of Public Health. A gradual transition to government implementation is expected to change the dynamics of ...
Ageing is Not a Disease: Pitfalls for the Acceptance of Self-Management Health Systems Supporting Healthy Ageing KU Leuven
Recently, a shift from curative to preventive care is promoted, by which patients are expected to become active and use diverse forms of self-management health systems (SMHS), i.e., integrated solutions that present data from multiple sensors and/or self-reports, possibly enhanced with risk assessment and decision support, to perform health-related actions. This is promoted as contributing to living longer and healthier, assisting ...
Assessment of the Barriers and Enablers of the Use of mHealth Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa According to the Perceptions of Patients, Physicians, and Health Care Executives in Ethiopia: Qualitative Study KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Digital technologies are increasingly being used to deliver health care services and promote public health.

Unlike developed countries, Sub-Saharan Africa experiences more challenges and obstacles when it comes to deploying, using, and expanding mHealth systems. In addition to ...
The Implementation of Integrated Health Information Systems – Research Studies from 7 Countries Involving the InterRAI Assessment System KU Leuven
INTRODUCTION: In the past years, governments from several countries have shown interest in implementing integrated health information systems. The interRAI Suite of instruments fits this concept, as it is a set of standardised, evidence-based assessments, which have been validated for different care settings. The system allows the electronic transfer of information across care settings, enabling integration of care and providing support for care ...

Health systems in context: a systematic review of the integration of the social determinants of health within health systems frameworks Universiteit Antwerpen
OBJECTIVE: To systematically review and analyze various ways that health systems frameworks interact with the social determinants of health (SDH), as well as the implications of these interactions. METHODS: This was a review of the literature conducted in 2012 using predetermined criteria to search three comprehensive databases (PubMed, the Cochrane Database for Systematic Reviews, and the World Bank E-Library) and grey literature for articles ...
Understanding pathways of integrating severe acute malnutrition interventions into national health systems in low-income countries : applying systems thinking to study the complexity of health systems Universiteit Gent
The study explored pathways of integrating severe acute malnutrition interventions into health systems using a theory-driven approach to understand how and why integration progressed in given contexts. Different methodologies under the realist paradigm provided increasing insights into complexity. A scoping study explored integration concepts and attributes, policies and evidence. Using a framework approach, causal loop analysis and agent-based ...
