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...

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...
Nursing Ethical Principles II01:27

Nursing Ethical Principles II

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's cancer...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Palliative Care
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Children's palliative care (CPC) is a distinct specialty, closely linked to adult palliative care.
  • CPC globally has a low profile and limited accessibility, despite a significant number of children requiring its services.
  • High-quality pediatric palliative care is a global concern, with millions of children worldwide needing care annually.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the global need for accessible children's palliative care.
  • To emphasize the importance of a public health approach in developing CPC services.
  • To advocate for integrated models of CPC within existing healthcare systems.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on the status of global children's palliative care.
  • Analysis of demographic data regarding the pediatric population requiring palliative care.
  • Examination of public health strategies and service integration models for CPC.

Main Results:

  • A significant global population of children requires palliative care annually.
  • Current CPC provision is inadequate and inaccessible in many parts of the world.
  • A public health approach and service integration are identified as key strategies for CPC development.

Conclusions:

  • Children's palliative care requires increased global attention and accessibility.
  • A public health framework is essential for the effective development and delivery of CPC.
  • Integrating CPC into existing health structures is vital for meeting the needs of children requiring palliative care.
