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...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. 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...

Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Health Information Technology and Healthcare Information System

Health Information Technology and Healthcare Information System

Health Information Technology (HIT)
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:

Primary Healthcare Services

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...

Introduction to GIS

Introduction to GIS

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are tools for storing, analyzing, and displaying spatial data alongside related attributes. Unlike traditional information systems that address general queries, GIS incorporates spatial components, enabling users to answer "where" and "how far." For example, GIS can process housing data linked to geographic locations like zip codes, allowing insights into population density or housing distribution through thematic maps.GIS integrates technologies such as...

Area of Science:

Global Health
Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD)
Disability Studies

Background:

International development initiatives often overlook the inclusion of people with disabilities.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) presents opportunities for socioeconomic participation but requires accessibility.
Assistive Technology (AT) is integral to ensuring equitable access to ICTs for persons with disabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

To advocate for inclusive ICT-based international economic development for people with disabilities in low- and middle-income countries.
To highlight the necessity of a comprehensive ICT and AT ecosystem for sustainable access.
To inform policymakers, practitioners, and service providers on critical inclusion strategies.

Main Methods:

Literature review on accessible ICTs in international development.
Analysis of practice cases demonstrating the impact of accessible technology.
Commentary synthesizing findings on ecosystem factors influencing access.

Main Results:

Accessible ICTs can significantly improve economic participation and reduce exclusion for people with disabilities.
The accessibility and utilization of ICTs are heavily influenced by the surrounding ecosystem, including policy, legislation, service delivery, and financing.
Government policies and the quality of service systems can either facilitate or impede access to technology.

Conclusions:

People with disabilities in developing countries encounter substantial socioeconomic barriers.
Accessible ICTs offer a pathway to mitigate these barriers, but technological advancements alone are insufficient.
A comprehensive ecosystem approach is essential for ensuring sustainable, scalable, and affordable ICT access and utilization for persons with disabilities.
