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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Comparative Health Systems
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Public healthcare systems globally strive for optimal organization to fund healthcare services.
  • Healthcare systems are broadly categorized as Bismarck or Beveridge models, with Beveridge systems often showing poor performance.
  • The Libyan Health system is identified as inefficient, underperforming, and lacking clear objectives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the French Health Care System (FHCS) as a potential model for improving the Libyan National Healthcare services.
  • To identify key features, challenges, and future trends of the FHCS.
  • To assess the applicability of FHCS organizational aspects to the Libyan context.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of global healthcare organizational structures.
  • Comparative analysis of the French Health Care System (FHCS) and its performance metrics.
  • Identification of transferable elements from the FHCS to address Libyan healthcare system deficiencies.

Main Results:

  • The French Health Care System (FHCS) is recognized by WHO and European Health Consumer Powerhouse as a top-tier, efficient, and comprehensive system.
  • The FHCS demonstrates a practical model for organizing modern national health services.
  • The review identifies specific aspects of the FHCS that could inform improvements in the Libyan healthcare sector.

Conclusions:

  • The French Health Care System (FHCS) presents a successful model of healthcare organization with high efficiency and broad coverage.
  • Lessons learned from the FHCS can guide the reorganization and enhancement of the Libyan National Healthcare services.
  • Adopting elements of the FHCS could lead to a more responsive and effective healthcare system in Libya.
