ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Intersectoral cooperation between physicians in private practice and hospitals is highly relevant for ensuring the quality of medical care. However, the experiences and potential for optimization at this interface from the perspective of physicians in private practice have not yet been systematically investigated. The aim of this questionnaire survey was to record participants' experiences with regard to cooperation with university hospitals and to identify the potential for optimizing intersectoral cooperation. METHODS: We performed a prospective cross-sectional study using an online survey among practising physicians of all disciplines offering ambulatory care in Germany. The link to a 41-item questionnaire was sent via mail using a commercial mail distributor in which 1095 practising physicians participated. Baseline statistics were performed with SurveyMonkey and Excel. RESULTS: A total of 70.6%/722 of the responding physicians in private practice rated cooperation with university hospitals as satisfactory. Satisfaction with the quality of treatment was confirmed by 87.2%/956 of the physicians. The subjectively perceived complication rate in patient care was assessed as rare (80.9%/886). However, the median waiting time for patients in the inpatient discharge letter was 4 weeks. The accessibility of medical contact persons was rated as rather difficult by 52.6%/577 of the physicians. A total of 48.6%/629 of the participants considered better communication as an equal partner to be an important potential for optimization. Likewise, 65.2%/714 participants wished for closer cooperation in pre- and/or post inpatient care. CONCLUSION: The following optimization potentials were identified: timely discharge letters, clear online presentations of clinical contacts, improved accessibility by telephone, introduction or further development of a referral portal, regular intersectoral training and/or "get-togethers", regular surveys of general practitioners and implementation of resulting measures, further development of cross-sectoral communication channels and strengthening of hospital IT.

INTRODUCTION: Progressive pulmonary Fibrosis Abstract: Cough and dyspnea on excertion are common and early symptoms of interstitial lung diseases (ILD). Thoracic imaging (particularly computed tomography) detects such lung structural alterations early in the disease course. Knowledge of these diseases and their management is necessary in the daily business. The term "progressive pulmonary fibrosis" subsumes a heterogene group of interstitial lung diseases with a similar course of progressive fibrosis. The management of these diseases should be discussed interdisciplinary, similar to the management of the Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Antifibrotic drugs are new therapeutic options.

En la situación del dengue en El Salvador, inciden determinantes (ambientales, económicos, políticos y sociales), la constante migración del campo a la ciudad, una creciente urbanización sin planificación ni regulación alguna, pobreza, inequidad en el ingreso y condiciones de exclusión que relegan a la población en esta situación a exponerse permanentemente a condiciones de alto riesgo y vulnerabilidad que favorecen la persistencia de la transmisión de arbovirosis, entre ellos se pueden señalar crecimiento poblacional, construcción de viviendas inadecuadas que generan condiciones críticas de hacinamiento, deficiente abastecimiento de agua que obliga a las personas a almacenarla inadecuadamente, una deficiente recolección de desechos sólidos, todo lo cual genera condiciones adecuadas para la multiplicación del Aedes aegypti y la transmisión de la enfermedad. El Ministerio de Salud, anticipándose al retorno de alumnos a un aproximado de 5,000 centros escolares públicos y privados, además de la prevención en 1,600 centros de votación, se ha programado la ejecución de una jornada a nivel nacional de acciones, la cual tiene por objetivo el control del vector en su fase larvaria y adulta; así como, la realización de acciones gubernamentales de carácter preventivas, en el que se realizarán actividades de promoción de la salud encaminadas a la eliminación de criaderos y otras actividades que sean factibles de desarrollar por la comunidad.
In the situation of dengue in El Salvador, determinants (environmental, economic, political and social), the constant migration from the countryside to the city, a growing urbanization without any planning or regulation, affect poverty, inequity in income and conditions of exclusion that relegate the population in this situation to be permanently exposed to conditions of high risk and vulnerability that favor the persistence of transmission of arbovirosis, These include population growth, construction of inadequate housing that generates critical conditions of overcrowding, poor water supply that forces people to store it improperly, poor solid waste collection, all of which generates adequate conditions for the multiplication of Aedes aegypti and the transmission of the disease. The Ministry of Health, anticipating the return of students to approximately 5,000 public and private schools, in addition to prevention in 1,600 voting centers, has scheduled the execution of a day at the national level of actions, which has as its objective the control of the vector in its larval and adult phase; as well as the carrying out of preventive governmental actions, which will include health promotion activities aimed at the elimination of hatcheries and other activities that are feasible to develop by the community

Introdução: O Programa de Saúde na Escola (PSE), é uma política interministerial da Saúde e da Educação, instituída pelo Decreto Presidencial nº 6.286, do ano de 2007, com o objetivo de promoção de saúde e cultura da paz e prevenção de doenças de crianças, adolescentes e jovens em idade escolar. O programa passou por várias modificações incrementais ao longo dos anos. O município de Francisco Morato aderiu ao programa no ano de 2018. A literatura de políticas públicas evidencia a existência de variáveis que interferem na implementação de políticas, promovendo "gaps" entre a sua formulação e a sua real execução. No caso brasileiro, políticas formuladas no âmbito federal e implementadas no nível municipal, como é o caso do PSE, podem gerar desafios adicionais em decorrência de seu arranjo federativo. Objetivo: Investigar e elucidar as principais barreiras e os facilitadores da implementação do PSE no município de Francisco Morato, compreender como o programa é implementado no município e identificar como é realizada a articulação intersetorial entre as áreas da saúde e a educação para a implementação do programa. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória de natureza qualitativa, com referencial teórico pautado em análise de conteúdo delineado (Bardin, 1977), revisão bibliográfica (Salvador, 1971) e posteriores entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores e trabalhadores da linha de frente no PSE de Francisco Morato. Resultados: As entrevistas evidenciaram seis barreiras: comunicação; autonomia; planejamento do PSE e suas ações; disparidades entre os profissionais da saúde e da educação; disparidades entre as escolas estaduais e municipais e infraestrutura. Três foram os facilitadores encontrados: comunicação intersetorial municipal; autonomia; e território. Conclusão: Após análise dos resultados foi possível concluir que a articulação intersetorial entre o setor saúde e a educação, bem como a comunicação entre o nível municipal e estadual constituem desafios importantes na implementação do programa. A forma com que o programa é implementado gera desigualdade na atuação entre escolas municipais e estaduais, bem como enfraquece a sua potencialidade de ação no território onde é desenvolvida.

A inserção da Odontologia no Sistema Único de Saúde, como estratégia de transformação da prática, introduziu novas formas de organização na busca pela melhoria das condições de saúde bucal da população. O objetivo do trabalho foi identificar práticas adotadas pela Equipe de Saúde Bucal na prevenção e promoção da saúde bucal das co- munidades assistidas pela Estratégia Saúde da Família. Trata-se de uma revisão de litera- tura, com uma busca sistematizada nas bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e Scielo, utilizando os descritores: programa saúde da família, estratégia saúde da família, saúde bucal e odontologia. Os critérios de inclusão foram: estudos qualitativos, surveys e mistos, que abordem práticas adotadas pela Equipe de Saúde Bucal da Estratégia Saúde da Família, na prevenção e promoção da saúde bucal. A busca resultou em 435 estudos, após remoção das duplicatas, leitura de títulos, resumos e verificação dos critérios de inclusão foram incluídos 18 artigos. As práticas identificadas foram: educação em saúde, visita domiciliar, humanização do cuidado, educação permanente em saúde e intersetori- alidade. Os resultados mostraram que as práticas de prevenção e promoção de saúde ado- tadas pela Equipe de Saúde Bucal da Estratégia Saúde da Família foram viáveis, uma vez que emergiram de estratégias difundidas pelas políticas públicas, evidenciando a indisso- ciabilidade entre saúde bucal e saúde geral dos usuários e comunidades, contribuindo no processo de consolidação do Sistema Único de Saúde.
The inclusion of Dentistry in the Unified Health System, as a practice transformation strategy, introduced new forms of organization in the quest to improve the oral health conditions of the population. The objective of this work was to identify prac- tices adopted by the Oral Health Team in the prevention and promotion of oral health in communities assisted by the Family Health Strategy. This is a literature review, with a systematic search, in the Virtual Health Library and Scielo databases, using the descrip- tors: family health program, family health strategy, oral health and dentistry. The inclu- sion criteria were: qualitative studies, surveys and mixed, which address practices adop- ted by the Oral Health Team of the Family Health Strategy, in the prevention and promo- tion of oral health. The search resulted in 435 studies, after removing duplicates, reading titles, abstracts and checking the inclusion criteria, 18 articles were included. The identi- fied practices were: health education, home visits, humanization of care, permanent health education and intersectoriality. The results showed that the prevention and health promo- tion practices adopted by the Oral Health Team of the Family Health Strategy were viable, since they emerged from strategies disseminated by public policies, evidencing the inse- parability between oral health and the general health of users and communities , contri- buting to the consolidation process of the Unified Health System.

Despite abundant evidence demonstrating that improvements to health and education are positively correlated, and the importance of school-based platforms to achieve shared impacts, collaboration between ministries of health and education remains limited across low- and middle-income countries. Enhancing this collaboration is essential to realize mutually beneficial results, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic, which severely impacted health and education outcomes globally and highlighted the importance of resilient, domestically funded systems for delivering key social services including primary health care and education. We argue that the lack of an effective joint financing mechanism has hindered adoption of collaborative multisectoral approaches such as the WHO/UNESCO's Health Promoting Schools (HPS) model. HPS is well-positioned to organize, finance, and deliver primary health care and education services through a school-based platform and strategy. Case studies from several low- and middle-income countries highlight the need to expand limited inter-ministerial collaborations to achieve cross-sectoral benefits and ensure sustainability of HPS beyond the lifecycle of external partners' support. It is important to identify ways to widen the resource envelope for sector-specific activities and create efficiencies through mutually beneficial outcomes. This paper offers two pragmatic solutions: an inter-ministerial joint financing mechanism that starts with alignment of budgets but matures into a formal system for pooling funds, or a fixed-term co-financing mechanism that uses donor contributions to catalyze inter-ministerial collaborations. Achieving sustainability in these initiatives would require engaging the ministries of health, education, and finance; developing a common administrative, financial, and monitoring mechanism; and securing long-term commitment from all concerned stakeholders.

INTRODUCTION: For a better understanding of issues related to health-preserving activities for the benefit of city population, theoretical knowledge about the attitude and readiness of all interested parties for intersectoral cooperation is needed. The purpose of the study is to analyze readiness of the participants of health-preserving activities for intersectoral cooperation in Moscow. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In 2023, a one-time, one-time study of intersectoral responsibility, commitment and awareness, as well as satisfaction with individual health care (original test cards) was conducted among different participants in the health care of the population of the city of Moscow (n = 1007). From among them, participants were identified -workers of «medical¼ infrastructure facilities of urban space, participants-workers of other facilities (sports, culture, industry, waste disposal, transport, food, trade, education and others) and the population as a participant in intersectoral health saving. RESULTS: The research based on the original integrated assessment methodology shows insufficient readiness for intersectoral cooperation to implement health-saving activities for the benefit of Moscow population. Immature intersectoral responsibility, literacy, motivation for teamwork noted among the participants of the unified health-preserving city space determines the lack of internal conviction that it is necessary to deal with both own health, and health of other members of the urban community. CONCLUSION: The data obtained can form basis for new methodological approaches to prioritize control measures to improve intersectoral cooperation between the participants of health-preserving activities in the metropolis.
