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

2.3K
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

29.7K
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
  • Development Studies
  • African Studies

Background:

  • Sub-Saharan Africa's diversity complicates a uniform assessment of progress.
  • The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) aimed to improve global well-being.
  • Child mortality (MDG4) is a key indicator of development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess progress on Millennium Development Goal 4 (child mortality reduction) in Sub-Saharan Africa.
  • To explore the interconnections between child well-being and other MDGs (poverty, education, maternal health).
  • To provide a nuanced overview acknowledging regional complexities.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of progress towards MDG4 targets over a 15-year period.
  • Inclusion of related indicators from MDG1 (poverty/hunger), MDG2 (education), and MDG5 (maternal health).
  • Qualitative synthesis of diverse regional contexts and events.

Main Results:

  • Expected progress on child mortality reduction is summarized, highlighting regional variations.
  • The intricate links between child mortality and socio-economic factors are discussed.
  • Limitations of a generalized approach are acknowledged.

Conclusions:

  • Assessing MDG progress in Sub-Saharan Africa requires acknowledging significant heterogeneity.
  • Child mortality reduction is closely tied to advancements in poverty, education, and maternal health.
  • Future goal-setting must consider these complex interdependencies and regional specificities.
