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...

Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Patient Experience Research
Quality Improvement Science

Background:

Literature suggests value creation through exceptional patient experiences, yet replicable models are scarce.
Focusing on patient experience is proposed as a key differentiator in healthcare value.

Purpose of the Study:

To refine and export a patient and family-centered care methodology.
To evaluate the impact of this methodology on patient satisfaction, clinical outcomes, and operational efficiency.

Main Methods:

The Patient and Family-Centered Care Methodology and Practice (PFCC M/P) involves a six-step process.
Key steps include council formation, current state evaluation, vision development, and improvement project identification.
The methodology was applied across three clinical programs, assessing various performance metrics.

Main Results:

Total Joint Arthroplasty (TJA) achieved 99th percentile patient satisfaction with superior clinical outcomes.
Trauma care saw increased patient satisfaction, reduced staff turnover, and elimination of lost belongings.
Orthopaedic spine care demonstrated higher patient satisfaction, reduced length of stay, and faster discharge times.

Conclusions:

The Patient and Family-Centered Care Methodology and Practice (PFCC M/P) provides a framework for enhancing healthcare value.
This methodology successfully redefines value by centering on patient and family priorities.
