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...

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...

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a conceptual framework and theories from strategy and complex system analysis.
  • Developed an eHealth Strategy Development Framework based on existing literature.
  • Emphasized a systematic and methodical approach for strategy creation.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive eHealth Strategy Development Framework is presented.
  • The framework enables institutions, regions, and countries to create defensible eHealth strategies.
  • It guides wise investment and ensures alignment with local needs and evidence.

Conclusions:

  • A robust eHealth strategy is essential for guiding national digital health initiatives.
  • The developed framework offers a practical tool for countries to define their eHealth trajectory.
  • Implementing this framework promotes effective resource allocation and sustainable eHealth ecosystems.
