Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

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...
Secondary Healthcare System01:11

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...

Health Information Technology (HIT)
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:
Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...
Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care to...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Health Economics
  • Biostatistics
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Evaluating health system efficiency is complex due to multi-faceted health concepts and diverse measurement units.
  • Existing methods face challenges in synthesizing numerous variables for comprehensive efficiency analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel statistical approach, Distance Based Analysis (DBA), for evaluating organizational unit efficiency.
  • To apply DBA to assess the health status and efficiency of European Union member states.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a statistical Distance Based Analysis (DBA) framework.
  • Analyzed health indicators across 27 European Union countries.
  • Utilized DBA to synthesize various health metrics into a single efficiency score.

Main Results:

  • Cyprus and Ireland were identified as having the most efficient health system sectors.
  • Greece exhibited exceptional health service indicators, though individual-level health outcomes varied.
  • DBA successfully synthesized multiple variables to provide a comparative efficiency score.

Conclusions:

  • Distance Based Analysis (DBA) offers a valuable tool for measuring health system efficiency across different regions.
  • DBA can be integrated with existing methods like Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA).
  • The selection of input and output variables is crucial and can influence the resulting efficiency scores.
