“…diverse participants from various fields, which were similar to another study where varied category of health workforce were trained through an almost similar modality [44]. We found that such a comprehensive public health management program implemented in LMIC settings strengthens the competencies of public health managers, which can further be replicated in similar settings to mitigate diverse challenges in public health management.…”

“…This curriculum was purposively developed to let the participant have an exposure of adult learning methodology along with application-based [46]. The program was assessed through prepost evaluation and its implementation post-program similar to another study by K. MacVarish et al [44]. Session and the overall feedback was collected using questionnaires covering quantitative and qualitative aspects about the background information of the participants, importance of program in their job profile; the significance of different methods used for teaching overall perception of the course its usefulness and application of knowledge from the courses to their current job, similar to the study by Zackoff [47].…”

Similar to other programs, the current program was evaluated on the parameters reflecting adequacy of the content, relevancy, achievement of aim and objectives, flow of module, appropriateness of teaching methods, quality of mix of teaching methods, participation of participants, module expectations [44,46]. The distinguishing feature of the study amplifying the voice of public health management training for LMIC managers has been a comprehensive evaluation and adult learning pedagogy developed and implemented in LMIC setting.…”

Background The challenges faced by the low and middle-income countries (LMIC) in the field of public health management calls for the capacity building of qualified and trained public health managers in order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the health care delivery system. Most of the existing training programs for public health management are based in the settings of developed countries, which hinders their application in LMIC countries. The objective of this paper is to document the process of development and evaluation of a capacity building program for public health managers of various LMICs. Material and methods A training program was developed using Kern’s six-step framework with several innovative learning and assessment methodologies and evaluation using Kirkpatrick training evaluation model. Delphi technique was used for program development. Results This five to ten-day partly/fully funded six International Public Health Management Development Programs (IPHMDP) programs was conceptualized which enrolled 178 participants from 42 countries between years 2016 and 2019. Based upon the elaborative discussion in four rounds of Delphi technique, the problem and challenges faced by public health mangers and eight key competencies (viz. Leadership and governance, Project/ program planning, financial management, supply chain management, quality management, Human Resource management, monitoring and evaluation, and communication.) were identified. The group consensually agree upon a blended teaching methodology comprising of chalk and talk approach, inquiry based learning, participatory student based learning, small group instructions, gamification, project-based learning and field-based learning. There was a significant increase in participants’ knowledge score (P<0.0001) after all programs especially in the competencies of monitoring and evaluation, followed by project/ program planning, supply chain management and quality management. The majority (90%) submitted their action plan one week following the program, out of which 64% implemented their action plans within six months. A majority (54.7%) of participants were able to implement their learning once they went back by conducting similar training/ workshop/webinars in their settings. Conclusion The comprehensive public health management program in LMIC settings strengthens the competencies of public health managers which can be replicated in similar settings across LMIC to mitigate diverse challenges in public health management.

Background: Medical professionalism is considered, in modern clinical practice as the basis of the social contract between physicians and their society. It encompasses a wide range of values such as altruism, accountability, excellence, duty, service, honor, integrity, and respect for others. It has been researched extensively in the Western world, but only a dearth of studies exist in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 157 physicians working in primary health care centers in Abha and Khamis-Mushayt cities of Saudi Arabia. The study tool was a self-addressed validated questionnaire. Results: Participants in the study were 157 general physicians, of whom 63.7% were males. The Saudis were 84.1%. The mean of experience of work in years was 3.5 years. Only, 50.3% had training in medical professionalism training, whereas 49.7% did not receive any training in professionalism (the mean number of training sessions was 3.1). The mean score of professionalism was 109.1 (out of a potential total of 130 points). Participants with High professionalism were 49%, while 49.7% were found to have moderate professionalism, and only 1.3%, was with poor professionalism. Factors related to a significantly positive association with professional behavior were; higher age, being married, being non-Saudi, higher qualifications (like Diploma/MSc), increased practice experience, and professional training one is involved in. Conclusion: The participant physicians reported high levels of professional behavior. However, there is a need to focus on addressing job satisfaction factors to improve participants’ practice attitude and subsequently increase professionalism.

“…The authors also demonstrate the need to address the lack of managerial training among leaders in Nigerian health care and recommend short, term courses in hospital management and economics in short term and its inclusion in the curriculum of university programs for the preparation of young professionals (Ochonma & Nwatu, 2018). MacVarish, et al (2018) note that management training is often overlooked in many areas in which practitioners become managers in particular healthcare, which is essential in job performance, staff satisfaction and performance, and quality improvement. Since today's healthcare needs much more complex teamwork, coordinated efforts to build fundamental high-performance skills and abilities, and the development of managerial leadership skills with a policy of persuasion development and systems thinking for an effective quality improvement coalition in healthcare.…”

Collaborative Business Intelligence goes beyond the organization frame and collecting people in one virtual space in order to give their opinion concerning certain issue results in an opportunity to boost the decision-making process and make it more reasonable. Strangers solve one problem without direct interaction and use the developed results. Tourists often search for information from different sources and compare found facts. It takes a lot of time and effort. So, having an application, where users could find relevant information and use it for decisionmaking is essential. The aim of the paper is to develop an application for tourists using which they could make a decision about where and why to go. We propose an approach to collect and clear data related to tourism, preprocess and structure tourism data convenient interface and tools for collaborative analysis.
