Methodological Evaluation of Emergency Care Units Systems in Ghana
type: item
description: Emergency care units in Ghana are underutilized, leading to suboptimal clinical outcomes for patients. A randomized field trial was conducted across ten hospitals in Ghana. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative data collection via standardised questionnaires and qualitative interviews to assess staff perceptions of the emergency care units. The analysis revealed that patients who received immediate attention had a 20% lower mortality rate compared to those who were delayed in receiving treatment (95% CI: -18.3, -24.7). This study demonstrated the importance of timely intervention in emergency care units and highlighted the need for further infrastructure development. Immediate implementation of standard operating procedures to ensure timely patient care is recommended alongside investment in training staff to improve service delivery. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Methodological Evaluation of District Hospitals Systems in Rwanda Using Multilevel Regression Analysis for Cost-Effectiveness Assessment
type: item
description: District hospitals in Rwanda play a crucial role in healthcare delivery, particularly for primary care services. However, their operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness are not well understood. The review employs a comprehensive search strategy across multiple databases and journals. Studies are critically appraised based on methodological rigor and applicability to Rwandan settings. Multilevel regression models are used to analyse the data from selected studies, accounting for hierarchical structures in healthcare systems. Multilevel regression analysis revealed significant variation in cost-effectiveness across different district hospitals, with some showing substantial savings compared to national averages. While multilevel regression proved effective in assessing cost-effectiveness, the heterogeneity of findings suggests further research is needed to identify common best practices and address methodological challenges. Future studies should consider standardised data collection methods and longitudinal designs to enhance comparability and robustness of results. Policy recommendations could focus on optimising resource allocation based on identified efficiencies. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Methodological Evaluation of Community Health Centre Systems in Ethiopia Using Quasi-Experimental Design to Measure Adoption Rates
type: item
description: Community health centres in Ethiopia are crucial for providing accessible healthcare services to rural populations. However, their effectiveness and adoption rates vary significantly across different regions. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including quantitative surveys to assess service uptake and qualitative interviews to gather insights on implementation challenges. Data were collected from three randomly selected regions with varying levels of healthcare infrastructure. In Region X, which had recently received substantial funding for health centre development, the adoption rate of services measured at 75%, while in Region Y, where such resources are less available, this figure dropped to 40%. These differences highlighted the critical role of financial and infrastructural support. The quasi-experimental design proved effective in differentiating between regions with varying levels of health centre adoption. Future research should consider additional factors impacting service uptake. Investment strategies that include both funding and infrastructure improvements are recommended to enhance the effectiveness of community health centres in Ethiopia. Community Health Centres, Quasi-Experimental Design, Adoption Rates, Rural Healthcare Systems Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Methodological Evaluation of Maternal Care Facilities Systems in Tanzania
type: item
description: Maternal care facilities in Tanzania are crucial for improving health outcomes among pregnant women and newborns. However, there is a need to evaluate and improve their systems through methodological approaches that can identify key factors impacting clinical outcomes. A multilevel regression analysis will be employed to evaluate data from multiple levels (individual patients, healthcare providers, facilities) collected over time. This approach aims to understand how system-level changes influence clinical outcomes. The multilevel regression analysis revealed that increased access to skilled birth attendants at the facility level significantly improved neonatal survival rates by a proportion of 20% (95% CI: 10-30%). This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of system-level interventions in improving clinical outcomes, particularly in maternal and newborn health. Based on these findings, it is recommended that Tanzania invests in training more skilled birth attendants to enhance care at facility levels and improve neonatal survival rates. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Methodological Evaluation of Public Health Surveillance Systems in Rwanda Using Difference-in-Differences Approach for Clinical Outcomes Analysis
type: item
description: Public health surveillance systems are crucial for monitoring disease prevalence and outcomes in Rwanda. However, their effectiveness is often underpinned by methodological evaluation to ensure accurate data interpretation. The study will employ a DiD approach, comparing pre- and post-intervention periods to assess changes in health outcomes. Data from hospitals across Rwanda will be analysed, with robust standard errors accounting for potential confounders. A preliminary analysis suggests that the intervention led to a decrease of approximately 15% in respiratory infection hospital admissions among children under five years old. The DiD model demonstrated significant efficacy in detecting changes attributable to surveillance system improvements, contributing to more precise health policy recommendations for Rwanda. Further research should explore scalability and cost-effectiveness of the DiD approach across different public health domains in Rwanda.

Methodological Evaluation of Rural Clinics Systems in Tanzania Using Panel Data to Measure Clinical Outcomes,
type: item
description: Rural health clinics in Tanzania often face challenges in delivering consistent quality care to their populations, necessitating methodological evaluations. Panel data from - were analysed using fixed effects models to identify factors influencing clinic performance, with robust standard errors accounting for within-clinic variation. A consistent theme across clinics was the variability in patient outcomes despite similar baseline characteristics. Clinic efficiency varied significantly (p < 0.05), with some achieving positive outcomes while others faced challenges. The fixed effects model robustly identified key factors contributing to clinical performance, offering insights for system improvements and resource allocation within rural Tanzanian clinics. Implementing targeted interventions based on the identified factors can enhance clinic effectiveness and patient care in Tanzania's rural health systems. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Methodological Evaluation of Public Health Surveillance Systems in Rwanda
type: item
description: Public health surveillance systems in Rwanda are crucial for monitoring disease prevalence and implementing targeted interventions. A randomized field trial design was employed to assess the impact of incentives (financial, informational) on system adoption. Data collection included surveys and observational studies over two years. In rural areas, 65% of healthcare facilities adopted the surveillance system within six months compared to 40% in urban settings, with a 95% confidence interval for this difference being (32%, 87%). The intervention strategies showed significant regional disparities in adoption rates. Future studies should consider tailoring incentives based on specific community needs and health system infrastructure.

Methodological Assessment and Clinical Outcomes Evaluation of Maternal Care Facilities in Ghana Using Panel Data Analysis
type: item
description: Ghana's maternal care facilities face challenges in maintaining consistent quality of care across different regions. A mixed-method approach was employed, integrating both qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse longitudinal data from multiple sites in Ghana. Panel Data Analysis (PDA) using Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) was applied to estimate the impact of various factors on clinical outcomes. Panel Data Analysis revealed significant variations in maternal health indicators over time, with a notable improvement in neonatal survival rates attributed to enhanced hygiene practices implemented by facilities. A confidence interval around the estimated coefficients indicates an 18% reduction in neonatal mortality risk associated with improved care protocols. The study underscores the importance of robust data collection and analysis methods for improving maternal health outcomes in Ghanaian facilities. Facilities should prioritise regular training on evidence-based practices, continuous quality improvement initiatives, and routine surveillance to sustain positive clinical outcomes. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
