Introduction To Health Care Delivery System

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...

Standards of Care I

Standards of Care I

Federal statutes profoundly impact nursing practice, providing critical guidelines to ensure patient care is equitable, accessible, and of the highest quality. The following laws address distinct aspects of healthcare provision and patient rights:

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...

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services 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...

Healthcare Agencies I

Healthcare Agencies I

Healthcare agencies provide healthcare services to people. In the United States, voluntary agencies are often non-profit centers sponsored by donations, grants, or fundraisers. One such organization is Meals on Wheels, which provides meals to the elderly and homebound. The American Heart Association and the American Lung Association are other non-profit community organizations. Doctors and nurses are frequently active members of these organizations, which offer health checks and educational...

Affordable access to care for the undocumented.

The Hastings Center Report

|September 19, 2014

Summary

Excluding undocumented immigrants from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) denies essential health insurance. Expanding coverage could be cost-neutral due to increased tax revenue and reduced emergency care costs.

Area of Science:

Public Health
Health Policy
Immigration Studies

Background:

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) excludes nearly 12 million undocumented immigrants, including millions of children, from accessing state and federal health insurance exchanges.
This exclusion denies access to affordable and reliable healthcare, sending a message that their well-being is not a societal priority.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the implications of excluding undocumented immigrants from health insurance exchanges.
To evaluate the potential financial impact of extending healthcare access to undocumented populations.

Main Methods:

Review of existing healthcare policy, specifically the Affordable Care Act.
Analysis of a recent study from California examining the costs and benefits of expanding state-supported care to undocumented immigrants.

Main Results:

Extending ACA marketplace access and subsidies to undocumented immigrants would necessitate additional funding.
A California analysis suggests that increased state sales tax revenue from managed care organizations and decreased county spending on uninsured emergency care could offset expansion costs.

Conclusions:

The exclusion of undocumented immigrants from the ACA represents a significant policy gap.
Expanding health insurance access to undocumented immigrants may be financially viable, with potential cost offsets through economic contributions and reduced uncompensated care.
