title: Oral Health Care Utilization Among Thai Working Age Population in 2013 
abstract:The objective of this study was to analyze the utilization of oral health care among Thai working age
population by using database of the Health and Welfare Surveys conducted by the National Statistical
Office in 2013. The surveys covered 27,960 households nationwide. Data were then weighted to represent
the total population. It was found that in overall, 98.7% of working age population was covered by any
health insurance scheme, of which national health insurance scheme (UC) shared 64.8 %. Among those
insured, only 9.3% reported having oral health care during the past year. Regarding area and income, it
was found that Civil Servants’ Medical Benefit Scheme (CSMBS) with high income clients from Bangkok
Metropolitan have the highest accessibility to oral health care of 22.5% compared to those national health
insurance scheme of 7.0-8.5% or 2.7-2.9 times higher. Furthermore, 45% of cases reported abstain to use of
their health insurance for oral health care and even 51.7% for UC scheme. Among UC scheme holders,
84.4% preferred seeking private services. The result reflects the challenge in access to oral health care. It is
necessary to develop measures to increase access to public services with effective and appropriate mechanisms.

title: Cross-subsidization of Healthcare Financing at the Hospital Level: Case Studies of Selected Public Hospitals in Thailand 
abstract:Objective: This empirical study investigates hospital’s incentives in responding to the difference in
reimbursement policies. Specifically, it seeks to identify and analyze possible cross-subsidization across
health schemes within the public hospitals in Thailand.
Methods: This observational study employed a mixed-methods research design. Qualitative
contents were collected from focus-group interviews of 30 hospital administrators in three selected public
hospitals, and content analysis was primarily used to synthesize a mental model of how hospital
administrators making decisions related to the concept of cross-subsidization. Quantitative data analysis
was used to compliment the qualitative contents on the issues of unit-cost difference, difference between
charge and cost, and difference between reimbursement and cost across health schemes.
Results: Content analysis reveals four emerging themes. First, the concept of cross-subsidization
is perceived differently among hospital administrators. Second, payment policies create obstacles to
hospitals’ financial management. Third, organizational factors also create obstacles to hospitals’ financial
management. Lastly, hospitals respond to payment policies of health schemes by various measures. These
findings are supported by quantitative results, which suggest the unit costs and the differences between
reimbursement and cost vary across health schemes after controlled for other patient characteristics.
Nonetheless, no evidence suggests that hospitals cost-shift by increasing prices charged to out-of-pocket
payment patients to compensate for the loss.
Discussions: Despite no strong evidence of cross-subsidization, we found three patterns of
decision-making of hospital administrators related to cross-subsidization, including implementing no
management practices for cross-subsidy, initiating organizational practices to reduce negative financial
impacts, and attempting to negotiate with health schemes on a fair reimbursement rate. Hence, policymakers
should adjust financing policies to adequately pay for health services provided. When evaluating the
impact of any payment policies, policymakers should consider not only an impact to patients of any
particular health scheme, but also an impact to other patients groups within the hospitals. Future studies
should utilize time-series data to determine a causational relationship between payment policies and
cross-subsidization at the hospital level.

title: Evaluation of Dental Services Quality 
abstract:In 2010, the Dental Council has prepared Thai Dental Safety Goals and Guidelines 2010 which was
distributed to members to learn and put into practice. It could be adjusted according to different context
of use to ensure maximum safety for both service providers and recipients. The purpose of this study was
to evaluate the dental service quality in Dontan Hospital against the Thai Dental Safety Goals and Guidelines
2010. Data was collected from 240 patients using a questionnaire to access patient treatment quality
according to Thai Dental Safety Goals and Guidelines 2010. The evaluation also assessed 240 copies of
complete medical records and self-evaluation was included. The methodology used is the quantitative
analysis of frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The process started from July 1 and
ended on July 30, 2014. The study found that : 1. On average, patient evaluated the quality of treatment at
92.8 percent. 2. The average of completeness of information, especially in dentistry was about 66.3 percent.
3. Self-assessment evaluation was done at 89.09 percent for patient safety, the improvement of communication,
safe dental treatment, safe infection control and complete record. Nonetheless, there are also
rooms for improvement. Written treatment plan in complicated cases needs to be recorded. Quality of
service in pediatric treatment could be improved by using the dental dam.

title: Evaluation of Abnormal CXR Findings in Annual Check-up Program 
abstract:Chest x-ray is one of the examinations/tests of the annual check-up program in Thailand. Routine
CXR is also occasionally required of future employees, or university students before admission. However
in many countries prevalence of abnormal chest x-ray on annual checkup is low yield and high cost. Purpose: The study aims to determine the prevalence of abnormal annual check-up CXR in Pua Crown
Prince Hospital and to find out the correlation between age group and prevalence of abnormal CXR.
Methodology: Descriptive analysis and to cross sectional design were used in this study. All patients
who came for annual checkup and CXR at Pua Crown Prince Hospital during 1 January to 31 December
2013 were included. All of CXR evaluated by radiologist were analyzed by using SPSS 21. Findings:
Among 1,569 cases of annual checkup at Pua Crown Prince Hospital during 1 January to 31 December
2013, 1,446 routine CXRs were found and 21 films were technically poor. Consequently 1,425 films were
included in this study. Prevalence of abnormal CXR was 3.15% and 1.82% of abnormal CXR was cardiomegaly.
Lung abnormality was 0.63%. The remaining abnormalities were scoliosis of thoracic spine and
renal stone. Discussion: Prevalence of abnormal screening chest x-ray on annual medical checkup is low.
Most of abnormal findings were cardiomegaly. Findings of lung abnormality were low. Screening CXR
would also lead to unnecessary radiation, and false-positive screening resulting in physical risk, unwarranted
anxiety and more expenditure. Screening CXR is appropriately reserved for high-risk patients and
those with relevant clinical findings.

title: Following up of Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Managed with Non-dialytic Treatment 
abstract:The first treatment option for end stage renal disease patients is dialysis. However, some patients
select non-dialysis treatment (NDT). Currently, data on clinical outcome of this treatment modality is
limited. Therefore, a retrospective cohort study was performed to evaluate clinical outcomes of chronic
kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 patients managed with NDT, including survival, factors affecting survival,
and hospitalization. The data was reviewed from the first date approaching to stage 5 (glomerular filtra-tion rate < 15 ml/min/ 1.73 m2) for at least 2 years, until death, or until the end of the study. A total of 72
patients who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were included to the study. The mean age was 65.4 years old.
The most common cause of CKD was diabetes mellitus (n = 35, 48.6%). The most common co-morbidity
was hypertension (n = 54, 38.6%). The most common reason for selecting NDT was lacking of a caregiver.
The median overall survival was 26.1 months. One-year and two-year survival rates were 80.0% and
59.0%, respectively. There were 307 occasions of unplanned visit, and 115 of these were related to renal
causes (37.5%). A total of 56 (77.8%) patients were hospitalized on 179 occasions. One hundred and two
(57.0%) of these were due to renal causes. This study demonstrates that the survival time of NDT patients
was approximately 2 years. There were high numbers of unplanned visits and hospitalization among
these patients. Therefore, NDT modality should be considered as a choice only for patients who are
contraindicated or not eligible for dialysis, or who would not be beneficial from dialysis.

age group of isolates were < 1 year (137 cases 26.5 %). Serotypes of Salmonella isolated from stool were
438 samples and blood were 79 samples by Kauffmann-White scheme and Sven Gard method. Salmonella
serotype Weltevreden was the most predominant 120 samples (27.4%) followed by serotype Typhimurium
97 samples (22.1%) isolated from stool. Salmonella serotype Enteritidis was the most predominant 31 samples
(39.2%) followed by serotype Typhi 19 samples (24.1%) isolated from hemoculture Drug susceptibility of
Salmonella by the disk diffusion method with 5 antimicrobial agents such as Ampicillin, Tetracycline,
Co-trimoxazole, Chloramphenicol and Norfloxacin. Salmonella strains isolated from stool were the most
predominant resistant to Ampicillin (54.5%), followed by Tetracycline (45.2%). Salmonella strains isolated
from hemoculture were the most predominant resistant to Ampicillin (36.0%), followed by Tetracycline
and Co-trimoxazole (28.0%). All of Salmonella isolated were susceptible to Norfloxacin (100%).
The results showed serotype and drug resistance pattern of Salmonella isolated from stool and blood
for fundamental data and guidance in selecting antimicrobial agents in Trang, Phathalung and Songkhla

title: Family Participation in Supporting Drug Use for Thai Elderly with Chronic Diseases 
abstract:The Objectives of this study were to investigate family participation in
supporting drug use for Thai elderly with chronic diseases and to create a
handbook for families who are assisting in treatment of Thai elderly with chronic
diseases.
Key informants are elderly's family, where the elder has at least one
chronic disease, in lower northern areas. The key informants are composed of
two main groups; the elderly with a chronic disease and their family members.
Purposive sampling and in-depth interview with interview guide were used for the
study. Data collection and content analysis were conducted from early in
October, 2013 until late in June, 2014. Data saturation was achieved with 50
cases. The results from this part were employed to make a handbook for families
who are assisting in treatment of Thai elderly with chronic diseases. The
handbook was reviewed by three specialists. After editing, the handbook was
evaluated by those families. Frequency, mean and standard deviation were
employed for analysis in this part.
The results showed that there were nine types of family participation
in supporting drug use. Those were 1) taking the elderly to see their physicians,
2) travelling to get medicine for the elderly, 3) tracking physician's appointments,
4) assisting with correct drug use, 5) assisting with appropriate diet, 6) maintaining
correct medication schedule, 7) preparing drugs for each meal, 8) monitoring
symptoms of drug use, and 9) building both self-esteem and esteem in others.
Several obstacles to good support were identified. They are
employment outside the family, misunderstandings between family members
and the elderly about the capabilities/self-support of the elderly, lack of
knowledge about chronic diseases and drug use in the elderly and weak family
relationships. In terms of handbook evaluation, the families had a good level of
satisfaction in every item evaluated.
