Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

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...

Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics

Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics

Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

Mechanical Ventilation Boot Camp Curriculum

Published on: March 12, 2018

Main Results:

Vietnam has 12 medical universities with a national curriculum framework.
Medical training duration varies (4 or 6 years), with residency programs available.
A lack of a national licensing exam hinders quality standardization.

Conclusions:

Implementing a national licensing exam is recommended to ensure consistent training quality.
The curriculum includes non-medical subjects that warrant evaluation for their impact on medical training quality.
Further assessment is needed to optimize the medical education system for Vietnam's healthcare needs.
