SANOPSys
Southern Africa Nurse, Organisation, Patient and System Outcomes
SANOPSys aspires to be an African focal point of leadership and governance in nursing science, by providing a synopsis of the quadruple aim of health care in South Africa, namely Nurse, Organisation, Patient and System outcomes.
Overall Aim
The overall aim of the SANOPSys research programme is to develop a South African Institute of Excellence (IoE) in scholarship and training related to leadership and governance in nursing science in the next 5 years, and then to advance to a Southern African Development Community (SADC) IoE in scholarship and training related to leadership and governance in nursing science in the next 10-15 years.
The Quadruple Aim of Health Care
The pursuit of quality health care for all South Africans is highly complex. It depends on an intricate balance between the quadruple aim of health care (Institute for Healthcare Improvement, 2017) being to:
Healthcare Aim 1
Patient
Improve the patient's experience of care.
Healthcare Aim 2
Organisation
Reduce per capita cost of healthcare.
Healthcare Aim 3
Systems
Improve the health of populations.
Healthcare Aim 4
Nurse
Improve nurses' and multi-disciplinary team members’ wellbeing.
Programme Focus
Therefore, the SANOPSys research programme established a focus on Southern Africa Nurse (Healthcare aim 4), Organisational (Healthcare aim 2), Patient (Healthcare aim 1) and System (Healthcare Aim 3) outcomes.
