Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.9K
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...

Introduction to Developmental Psychology

Developmental psychology explores the changes and continuities in human abilities throughout life, encompassing physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social dimensions. Human development is not restricted to growth, but includes aspects of decline, particularly in physical abilities as individuals age. Developmental psychologists seek to understand how people change as they age and how their mental and social skills evolve.Developmental MilestonesA key concept in developmental psychology is...

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...

Population Growth00:57

Population Growth

23.2K
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Public Health
  • Maternal and Child Health

Background:

  • The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) aimed to improve child survival (MDG-4) and maternal health (MDG-5).
  • Significant global progress has been made, but many countries are unlikely to meet the 2015 targets.
  • Effective interventions exist, yet substantial gaps in coverage persist, hindering the achievement of these goals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the progress and persistent challenges in achieving MDG-4 and MDG-5.
  • To emphasize the critical need for universal access to life-saving interventions for mothers and children.
  • To advocate for increased focus on maternal and child health within global health initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • This is a review and commentary piece, not a primary research study.
  • It synthesizes existing knowledge on the status of MDG-4 and MDG-5.
  • It identifies key challenges and proposes priorities for future action.

Main Results:

  • Global progress towards MDG-4 and MDG-5 targets is insufficient, with few countries expected to achieve them by 2015.
  • Despite the availability of efficacious interventions, coverage rates remain low, indicating missed opportunities for saving lives.
  • Access to both community-level services and health facilities is crucial for preventing maternal and neonatal deaths.

Conclusions:

  • Ensuring universal access to proven interventions is the primary challenge in improving maternal and child survival.
  • Community-based services and facility-based care are both essential components of effective maternal and child health strategies.
  • The global health community must prioritize maternal and child health, regardless of their specific research or practice areas.
