title: Institutional preparation and capacity building for Thailand's adoption of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Project 
abstract:Research Title	Institutional preparation and capacity building for 	Thailand’s adoption of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) 	ProjectResearcher 	Suthawan Sathirathai, et al.Funding	Health Systems Research InstituteYear	2004AbstractThe objective of the research report entitled “Institutional Preparation and Capacity Building for Thailand’s Adoption of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Project” is to present Thailand’s strategy for implementing the CDM project especially in the field of laws and regulations. This will be used as the main database for negotiations and a basis for decision-making concerning the selection of the projects for the benefit of the people and country. To carry out the study, the researchers organized fora for the exchange of views and knowledge on CDMs both in the public and private sectors. Other research methods used consist of the review and analysis of related laws as well as the collection of data on CDMs in industrialized countries.  	The outcome of the study shows that the implementation of CDM has enabled Thailand, which enjoys great potential for attracting foreign investments, to increase her capability of achieving sustainable development in line with the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol. Two main issues to be considered are, firstly, the fact that Thailand may have legally-binding targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the future; secondly, the country may also lose other opportunities, should it expedite the implementation of CDM without careful consideration. It is therefore imperative to establish a basic guideline relating to the selection criteria for CDM projects to ensure that there are sound modalities and procedures as well as clear rules on the rights to issue Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) as far as national entities and CDM project owners are concerned. Besides, these rules should enhance the reliability and transparency of the CDM implementation process as well as provide the CDM process with institutional mechanisms to check the performance of related agencies and organizations.

title: The evaluation of circumstances for choosing a health service unit on voluntary basis in 5 pilot provinces 
abstract:The National Health Security Law of B.E. 2545, in Chapter 1 stated that the right to receive public health service is assured and in section 5 the people’s right are indicated to receive an efficient public health service of high quality. In section 6 it is stated that people, who intend to use their rights according section 5, must submit an application for registration to the unit or office, which they want to choose for their regular health service: The unit they want to choose had been identified by the National Health Security Office. Those who are registered must comply with regulation procedures and conditions defined by the Local Health Committee. Convenience and needs of individual’s will be considered. It is obvious that the Act intends to open an opportunity for people to make use of their rights for universal health care coverage and that they can choose where to receive regular health services according to their needs and convenience. But there is still the opportunity of the Committee as well as the respective unit to define by themselves proper criteria and condition which health service unit should be chosen based on the convenience and needs of a given individual. The Ministry of Public Health and the National Health Security Office decided to conduct a pilot project which did allow people to make use of the right within the universal health care coverage scheme, also named 30-baht scheme (golden card), to choose their regular health care unit by themselves on a voluntary basis. The project was conducted in the provinces Prae, Saraburi, Surin, Songkla and the Pravej district of Bangkok Metropolitan. The corresponding offices in each province issued a regulation in October 2545 by defining the period of 2-3 months while the people could contact the offices in case they want to change the main or sub-main health service unit they previously had been allocated to, to select another one according to their needs. At the start of the project people were allowed to use the services at the defined health service unit since late 2545 up to present. This study project was divided into 4 sub-projects for the purpose of monitoring and evaluating. The main results and significant findings are summarized and concluded in this report. Recommendations are made for policy formulation and project management. The model tested, in which the people could choose the health service units according to their needs will provide guidelines for consideration of the National Health Security Office and related units or organizations at local level. 1.

title: Informal working conditions and health problem : a case study of industrial home-based work 
abstract:Informal Working Conditions and Health Problem:A Case Study of Industrial Home-Based Work At present, most of informal jobs employed in Thailand are mainly in the group of manufacturing industries.  The majority of these informal jobs are putting-out system, i.e., the subcontraction some parts of the manufacturing work to private homes.  As a consequence, the health of the workers in these home-based industrial work is at risk.  The case study of these informal jobs are bronze work, seed-making, fishing-net, hand-weaving, garment and gem-cutting	The result of studies found that the manufacturing process of these industrial works cause the health hazard to the workers and their family members as well as some environmental damage of their communities.  The level of health risk ranging from the highest are the following: bronze work, seed-making, fishing-net, hand-weaving, garment and gem-cutting.  In regard to the health problem, most of the workers’ illness are believed to be due to the working condition.  Most significantly, the result from the diagnosis of some doctors reveals that these industrial work are dangerous to the workers’ health and are the main cause of the illness of their family workers.	Aside from the health problem, another interesting point is that these home-based industrial workers have to invest on their own capital expenditure but earn lower wage than the minimum wage rate.  They have to face the health problem without the responsibility of their employers.  Therefore, the best solution in to set up a health insurance system for these informal home workers.  The system which is run by the community organization.  Their employers and the government have to share the responsibility.

title: Multi-centered study of anesthesia related adverse events in Thailand: The Thai anesthesia incident study (TAIS) 
abstract:Objectives: To develop and institute a methodology for the study of anesthesia related adverse outcome in 20 hospitals in Thailand: 7 university hospitals, 5 tertiary hospitals, 4 general hospitals and 4 district hospitals.Methods: The Thai Anesthesia Incident Study (TAIS) was prospectively conducted by collecting data of all consecutive anesthetics in preplanned structured data entry form (form 1). The database including patients demographics, anesthetic, surgical factors and anesthesia related adverse anesthetic records and hospital charts and interview attending anesthesia personnel. Data were collected and entered by double entry technique and analysis of outcomes determined for preoperative intraoperative and 24 hours postoperative periods.Results: The 86265 patients were take care by anesthesia personnel. The mean (S.D.)age, weight and height of the patients were 38.5 (21.4) years, 53.2 (18.4) kg. And 146.6 (38.5) cm. In this study 87.5 % of patients were classified as ASA physical status 1 or 2 and 31.2 % were in emergency setting. The six most common choices of anesthesia were general anesthesia (61%), spinal anesthesia (23.3%), total intravenous anesthesia (5.5%), monitor anesthesia care (3.4%), brachial plexus block (2.9%) and epidural anesthesia (1.2%) respectively etc. There were 53 cases (0.1%) of cardiac arrest and 17 cases (0.02%) death within 24 hours due to all etiologies. The common respiratory adverse events were desaturation 123 cases (0.1%), difficult intubation 83 cases (0.1%), reintubation 26 cases (0.03%) and esophageal intubation 19 cases (0.02%). Other important adverse events were coma/CVA/convulsion 9 cases, myocardial ischemia or infarction 8 cases, anaphylactoid or anaphylaxis 9 cases. The systemic events were 10 cases of drug error, 18 cases of equipment malfunction or failure, 5 cases of anesthesia personnel hazard, 6 cases of unplanned hospital admission and 27 cases of unplanned ICU admission.Conclusion: This was first large anesthesia epidemiological data which can be implied to anesthesia practice in Thailand.

title: The reporting system of adverse drug reaction in Medicine unit of Sappasittiprasong hospital by multidisplinary approach 
abstract:The reporting system of adverse drug reaction in medicine unit of Sappasittiprasong hospital by multidisplinary approach	The study intended to increase the efficiency of in-patient ADR reporting, that emphasized on moderate and severe cases. Multidisciplinary medical team had been established and run the quasi-experiment in 8 medicine wards. The variables were numbers of ADR case report compared with numbers of ADR case between before and after the experiment. ADR cases were assessed the causality by Naranjo’s Algorithm. The efficiency of ADR reporting was evaluated in 3 period time, followed at before study, 3 months and 8 months after implementation. The results were analyzed in descriptive statistics.Results:  Moderate ADR reports increase in term of efficiency, 0 % (0/12) before study to 75 % (6/8) after 3 month and 100 % (6/6) after 8 month. Severe ADR reports increase from 0 % (0/0) before study to 100 % (1/1) after 3 month but not found any case after 8 month. The number of moderate ADR reports increased 74 reports and severe ADR reports increased 16 reports after implementation of multidisciplinary team. Rare ADR and ADR occurred from new drugs were reported too.  79 patients were notified ADR history in those patient drug profile and advised them  to aware by themselves. In 2000, 149 ADR case reports have been reported compare with only 7 case reports in 1999.Conclusions:   Multidisciplinary team could improve an efficiency of moderate and severe ADR case reports and showed that this developed system trend to run continuously. So multidisciplinary team should be used in full system of Sappasittiprasong Hospital and should be studied in another hospitals in the next time. ADR reporting in the hospital should be run in more proactive manner.

title: Potential of women society for AIDs management 
abstract:Potential of Women Society for Aids Management	AIDS patients tended to be stigmatised by society resulting their broken families. AIDS crisis reflected inability of public organisations and people’s understanding to cope with AIDS. Social movement for AIDS was an interesting activity to handle such a crisis. A number of AIDS / HIV female patients associated together with objectives to manage AIDS problems for AIDS women in northern region. This study was to explore women ability of doing social movement in two issues. The first issue was grouping and developing its task groups for managing AIDS problems for northern AIDS women. The second issue was developing its potential and ability for AIDS management. 	Qualitative technique was used in this study. 3 studied groups were AIDS / HIV female patients, women society for community development and female members of local administrative organisations. The study found that awareness of problems and their impact was a driving force for women to gather into society and possess civic consciousness. Management potential and ability were largely developed and promoted by NGOS instead of public organisations. However, the infected group’s flexibility to manage their own issues was limited due to little confidence received for their management ability which were perceived by the NGOS while the second group, the community development society was given more flexibility for AIDS management. The second group then became the consultant for the first group. 	A lack of civic consciousness in members of local administrative organisations was a significant inhibitor for AIDS management in local areas. Their concern was more on development of community infrastructure which led to less budget for AIDS management. It is recommended that developing more concrete working partnership in these three groups should be put into practice.

title: The cost per unit of health services in Health for All : a case study of Health Servic Center(No 16) 
abstract:The Cost per Unit of Health Services in Health for All:  a Case Study of Health Service Center (No. 16)To illustrate the cost of services in health promotion and prevention , out patient (OPD) and dental care through a Health Service Center (No.16) Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. The analysis of the cost components could be used as key data for future planning, budgeting and resources preparing for the short and long terms.The cost centers were categorized to be executive, services and supporting unit. The simultaneous  equation  method was employed to allocate all costs from other associated cost centers to the service unit.The unit cost per visit was  372.76  baht, while the unit cost per capitation was  532.83  baht . The unit cost of health promotion and prevention per capitation  was  288.95  baht, whereas the unit cost of OPD per capitation   183.47  baht and the unit cost of dental care per capitation  55.37  baht. The labor cost accounted for 83.67  per cent, capital cost  6.09  per cent and material cost  10.24  per cent of the total cost.  Unit cost of OPD and dental care was lower than the proposed budget while the unit cost  of health promotion and prevention was higher. That could because of some patients seeking the OPD care from the King Chulalongkorn Hospital, while the health promotion and prevention offered was more than other Health Service Centers provided. The labor cost was the main factor to be improved for more efficient and the decrease  of labor cost would be in the short and long term strategies respectively.
