Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Introduction To Health Care Delivery System01:18

Introduction To Health Care Delivery System

The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) advocates for a patient-centered, effective, safe, timely, equitable, and effective healthcare system. The National Priorities...
Primary Healthcare Services01:30

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...
Traditional Level Of Health Care System01:26

Traditional Level Of Health Care System

The levels of care describe the services provided in the healthcare system. Accordingly, there are six levels of the traditional healthcare system in the US: preventive, primary, secondary, tertiary, restorative, and continuing healthcare. A nurse must understand how the healthcare industry organizes and provides services within these levels of care.
The preventive healthcare service includes tests for screening. Preventive health care services include identifying and reducing disease risk...
Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...
Secondary Healthcare System01:11

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Public Health Policy
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • China's health system faces challenges in balancing service delivery and financing.
  • Significant disparities exist in health-system performance across regions and income levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply comprehensive health-system performance measurements for China.
  • To assess national and regional health-system performance, focusing on coverage and catastrophic medical spending.

Main Methods:

  • Creation of a national and regional health-system performance measurement framework.
  • Analysis of health-system coverage, healthcare delivery, and medical expenditure data.

Main Results:

  • Maternal and child health services show good performance, while non-communicable disease management is poor.
  • 14-16% of households faced catastrophic medical expenditure; affordability issues worsened in rural areas.
  • Significant regional inequalities and income-based disparities in health coverage and affordability were identified.

Conclusions:

  • China's health system demonstrates mixed performance, with notable gaps in non-communicable disease care and equitable affordability.
  • Current health system reforms require evaluation against performance indicators, highlighting existing data gaps.
