The problem-oriented medical model struggles with chronic conditions and patient empowerment. A new goal-oriented approach prioritizes individual health goals and physician-patient collaboration for better outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Medical Philosophy

Background:

  • The prevalent problem-oriented model excels in acute care but is limited in managing chronic illnesses, health promotion, and life events.
  • This model often centralizes control with the physician, potentially disempowering patients and hindering interdisciplinary teamwork.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a goal-oriented approach as a more versatile and patient-centered alternative to the traditional problem-oriented model.
  • To enhance physician-patient collaboration and support a broader range of healthcare needs, including preventive and long-term care.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual framework development contrasting problem-oriented and goal-oriented healthcare models.
  • Analysis of model compatibility with interdisciplinary team approaches and patient empowerment.

Conclusions:

  • A shift towards a goal-oriented healthcare model can improve management of diverse health issues and promote patient autonomy.
  • This approach offers a more positive and adaptable framework for modern healthcare, focusing on achieving individual health aspirations.
