Impact of primary care benefits on healthcare utilisation and estimated out-of-pocket expenses in urban, rural and remote settings in the Philippines by Antonio L Dans, Arianna Maever L Amit, Leonila F Dans, Gillian Sandigan, Regine Ynez H De Mesa, Mia P Rey, Josephine T Sanchez, Cara Lois T Galingana, Nannette Bernal-Sundiang, Maria Rhodora N Aquino, Johanna Faye E Lopez, Janelle Micaela S Panganiban, Romelei Camiling-Alfonso, Jose Rafael A Marfori, Ramon Pedro Paterno, Carol Stephanie Chua Tan-Lim, Noleen Marie Fabian, Chad Lester Lastrilla, Miguel Callo

“…Background This study aimed to determine the effects of primary care interventions on healthcare utilisation and estimated out-of-pocket (OOP) expenses in selected urban, rural and remote settings in the Philippines.Methodology Context-specific measures relating to expanding healthcare provider networks, augmenting the health human workforce and subsidising transportation costs were implemented to strengthen primary care systems. In this study, two key outcomes were monitored: (1) monthly healthcare utilisation measured by the total number of outpatient consultations per site and (2) change in OOP expenses from baseline to endline within a 1 year study period.Results All sites had a positive trend in monthly outpatient consultations in healthcare utilisation over 1 year. …”

Full Static Output Feedback Equivalence by Aristotle G. Yannakoudakis

“…We present a constructive solution to the problem of full output feedback equivalence, of linear, minimal, time-invariant systems. The equivalence relation on the set of systems is transformed to another on the set of invertible block Bezout/Hankel matrices using the isotropy subgroups of the full state feedback group and the full output injection group. …”
