abstract: 'Background: Despite governments striving for responsive health systems
|
|
|
|
and the implementation of mechanisms to foster better citizen feedback
|
|
|
|
and strengthen accountability and stewardship, these mechanisms do not
|
|
|
|
always function in effective, equitable, or efficient ways. There is
|
|
|
|
also limited evidence that maps the diverse array of responsiveness
|
|
|
|
mechanisms coherently across a particular health system, especially in
|
|
|
|
low-and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts. Methods: This scoping
|
|
|
|
review presents a cross-sectional `map'' of types of health system
|
|
|
|
responsiveness mechanisms; the regulatory environment; and evidence
|
|
|
|
available about these; and assesses what is known about their
|
|
|
|
functionality in a particular local South African health system; the
|
|
|
|
Western Cape (WC) province. Multiple forms of indexed and grey
|
|
|
|
literature were synthesized to provide a contextualized understanding of
|
|
|
|
current `formal'' responsiveness mechanisms mandated in national and
|
|
|
|
provincial policies and guidelines (n = 379). Various forms of secondary
|
|
|
|
analysis were applied across quantitative and qualitative data,
|
|
|
|
including thematic and time-series analyses. An expert checking process
|
|
|
|
was conducted, with three local field experts, as a final step to check
|
|
|
|
the veracity of the analytics and conclusions made. Results: National,
|
|
|
|
provincial and district policies make provision for health system
|
|
|
|
responsiveness, including varied mechanisms intended to foster public
|
|
|
|
feedback. However, while some are shown to be functioning and effective,
|
|
|
|
there are major barriers faced by all, such as resource and capacity
|
|
|
|
constraints, and a lack of clarity about roles and responsibilities.
|
|
|
|
Most mechanisms exist in isolation, failing to feed into an overarching
|
|
|
|
strategy for improved responsiveness. Conclusion: The lack of synergy
|
|
|
|
between mechanisms or analysis of varied forms of feedback is a missed
|
|
|
|
opportunity. Decision-makers are unable to see trends or gaps in the
|
|
|
|
flow of feedback, check whether all voices are heard or fully understand
|
|
|
|
whether/how systemic response occurs. Urgent health system work lies in
|
|
|
|
the research of macro `whole'' systems responsiveness (levels,
|
|
|
|
development, trends).'
