Assessment of managerial processes applied in multinational special education institutions.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this research is to evaluate and analyze the managerial processes applied in special education institutions operated by public and private enterprises that provide special educational needs in different countries to determine problems and develop solution proposals with a new educational management model. The quantitative data for the study were collected using the "Management Processes Scale in School Management" which was created by Gregg, and the data used in the research belong to the academic years 2020-2021. In line with the collected data, the views of 45 managers and 130 teachers across North Cyprus, Turkey, and the UK were collated. Empirical results imply that all managerial processes are strongly related to the teachers' perspective, and for managers' decision-making, organization, evaluation are favorably related to effective management in all countries.

Project description:Administrative data play an important role in performance monitoring of healthcare providers. Nonetheless, little attention has been given so far to the emergency department (ED) evaluation. In addition, most of existing research focuses on a single core ED function, such as treatment or triage, thus providing a limited picture of performance. The goal of this study is to harness the value of routinely produced records proposing a framework for multidimensional performance evaluation of EDs able to support internal decision stakeholders in managing operations. Starting with the overview of administrative data, and the definition of the desired framework's characteristics from the perspective of decision stakeholders, a review of the academic literature on ED performance measures and indicators is conducted. A performance measurement framework is designed using 224 ED performance metrics (measures and indicators) satisfying established selection criteria. Real-world feedback on the framework is obtained through expert interviews. Metrics in the proposed ED performance measurement framework are arranged along three dimensions: performance (quality of care, time-efficiency, throughput), analysis unit (physician, disease etc.), and time-period (quarter, year, etc.). The framework has been judged as "clear and intuitive", "useful for planning", able to "reveal inefficiencies in care process" and "transform existing data into decision support information" by the key ED decision stakeholders of a teaching hospital. Administrative data can be a new cornerstone for health care operation management. A framework of ED-specific indicators based on administrative data enables multi-dimensional performance assessment in a timely and cost-effective manner, an essential requirement for nowadays resource-constrained hospitals. Moreover, such a framework can support different stakeholders' decision making as it allows the creation of a customized metrics sets for performance analysis with the desired granularity.

Project description:ObjectivesResearch is key to achieving global development goals. Our objectives were to develop and test an evidence-informed process for assessing health research management and support systems (RMSS) in four African universities and for tracking interventions to address capacity gaps.SettingFour African universities.Participants83 university staff and students from 11 cadres.Intervention/methodsA literature-informed 'benchmark' was developed and used to itemise all components of a university's health RMSS. Data on all components were collected during site visits to four African universities using interview guides, document reviews and facilities observation guides. Gaps in RMSS capacity were identified against the benchmark and institutional action plans developed to remedy gaps. Progress against indicators was tracked over 15 months and common challenges and successes identified.ResultsCommon gaps in operational health research capacity included no accessible research strategy, a lack of research e-tracking capability and inadequate quality checks for proposal submissions and contracts. Feedback indicated that the capacity assessment was comprehensive and generated practical actions, several of which were no-cost. Regular follow-up helped to maintain focus on activities to strengthen health research capacity in the face of challenges.ConclusionsIdentification of each institutions' strengths and weaknesses against an evidence-informed benchmark enabled them to identify gaps in in their operational health research systems, to develop prioritised action plans, to justify resource requests to fulfil the plans and to track progress in strengthening RMSS. Use of a standard benchmark, approach and tools enabled comparisons across institutions which has accelerated production of evidence about the science of research capacity strengthening. The tools could be used by institutions seeking to understand their strengths and to address gaps in research capacity. Research capacity gaps that were common to several institutions could be a 'smart' investment for governments and health research funders.
