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...

The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...
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...
Specialized Care Centers and Settings-I01:30

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-I

Specialized care settings or centers are situated in convenient locations within the community and offer care to a specific group or population. They consist of daycare facilities, mental health facilities, rural health facilities, educational institutions, industries, shelters for the homeless, and rehabilitation facilities.
Daycare centers
They provide several functions. Some facilities care for healthy newborns and children whose parents work, while others are medically focused and care for...

Area of Science:

  • Health Economics
  • Healthcare Policy
  • Medical Technology Assessment

Background:

  • The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented the new technology add-on payment (NTAP) program.
  • NTAP provides additional Medicare payments for qualifying breakthrough technologies within the hospital inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the NTAP program's structure and function.
  • To evaluate the spending and impact of the NTAP program on Medicare value.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the NTAP program criteria for technology qualification.
  • Evaluation of Medicare spending patterns associated with NTAP-approved technologies.

Main Results:

  • CMS criteria effectively limit qualifying technologies for NTAP.
  • NTAP has improved payment adequacy for new, qualifying breakthrough technologies.
  • The program shows potential for enhancing overall value within Medicare.

Conclusions:

  • The NTAP program represents a significant step towards improving value in Medicare.
  • Carefully established criteria and adequate payment are key to the program's success.
