The Government of Aceh Province in Indonesia has established the Social Health Insurance (SHI) called Jaminan Kesehatan Aceh (JKA) in 2006 that provide health coverage to all 4.6 million population of the province. Fee-for-service was initially used as the provider payment method in the programme until 2013. In 2014, in line with the National Health Insurance of Indonesia (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional JKN), INA-CBG (Indonesia Case-Based Group) casemix system was adopted by JKA to replace the Fee-for-Service method. This book presents outcome of the evaluation done using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods on the implementation of JKA programme. The quantitative study was conducted to assess income of three selected hospitals (Type B, C and D) reimbursed using INA-CBG groups covering more than 17,000 cases. Quantitative data analysis revealed that overall, the hospitals received 32.4% higher income when reimbursed with casemix system (INA-CBG) as compared to fee-for-service. Type D hospital is the biggest gainer with 81.0% increase in income. In conclusion, the use of Casemix (INA-CBG) as a prospective payment method has benefitted the hospitals a lot. It is hope that additional resources gained through this programme will allow the hospitals to provide optimum care to the population.

Sharing life experience on my recovery journey being an ex-offender in Singapore. I went through rehabilitation and dealt with mental stress while I was incarcerated. Applying contemporary and Islamic psychology based on my learning knowledge, I discovered how to overcome with the proper mindset to gradually develop a strong mind and a habit geared toward recovery. Consequently, based on my experience, I have implemented a self-healing methodology by attending some religious and psychological training to develop a new behavioral habit that will lead to recovery. I also developed an interest to read some professional reading materials and tools to assist in my recovery journey. Instead of concentrating on my history as an ex-offender, this book will bring you down the journey of my self-healing methodology from an Islamic psychological perspective.

In my previous book, Slow-Cooked Thoughts, I related how human life has taken an exacting toll on the planet, that the way to reverse this is to behave unselfishly towards all life forms and to share the earth's resources fairly with them, rather than taking the largest piece of the cake, leaving them only the crumbs. Tao-Tossed Thoughts also briefly refers to how an eighteen-acre land I bought thirty-eight years ago, and has been managed by a village society for the last twenty eight, becoming the first community managed conservation project in Sri Lanka. Since then, there have been a series of devastating natural disasters, such as bush fires, floods, earthquakes etc., as we continue to despoil our naturally self-sustaining wealth. In this book I delve into origins: of the universe; formation of planets; life on earth and its evolution echoing sometimes what was expounded clearly two thousand five hundred years ago. Tao-Tossed Thoughts also includes a talk I gave, Lionel Wendt, Nucleus of the `43 Group, the first modern art movement in Sri Lank and a few photo essays, some of which shed light on these topics.

Why do poems automatically arise in your head or mine? Are they the products of conscious thought or ideas lurking in our subconscious? Or due to our habit of seeking answers? Or a response to the information we received? I have been jotting down poems on various occasions in my life. And so, I decided on the title: "e;Poems Pave Our Lives."e; And my Subtitle explains what you will get from reading this book. I realize that by expressing my thoughts in poetry, I made sense of life. I could appreciate the challenges in life as opportunities and lessons! I believe that since we're all on the same journey in life, the same applies to us. I feel it's a blessing to express the emotions that you may share in this book of poems. I hope you enjoy the dialogue poems, the narrative poems, the ones a concerned citizen and a science educator would write as I reflect on the personal, national, and global issues and relate to them. With my background in research writing, I gratefully acknowledge the authors who contributed to my thoughts. And I hope learners of English may find the poems helpful and inspiring!
