Compliance and Efficiency of a Center-based Referral System in the Easy Access to Rehabilitation Services Program among Center-based Referral partners in Luzon
Hearing loss is the second most prevalent disability in the Philippines. While over 102 million people live in the Philippines, the small number of ear and hearing health professionals limit access services––only 661 registered otorhinolaryngology specialists and only 75 audiologists serve the entire population,
Aimed at supporting increased services with Community Ear and Hearing Care activities, Better Hearing Philippines, Inc. developed a Center-based Referral System to address diagnostic evaluation and management of ear and hearing problems under the Easy Access to Rehabilitation Services (EARS) Program. This qualitative study seeks to evaluate compliance of trained community based workers and efficiency of the Program in addressing ear and hearing problems from communities under-served by professionals.
- To determine compliance of trained community-based workers
- To determine the efficiency of the a center-based referral based system
- To determine the factors influencing the compliance and efficiency of a center-based referral system
