Preventive Healthcare Services

2.3K
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:

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

4.3K
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...

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.

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

16.1K
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Integrated Healthcare System

2.6K
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,...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

2.3K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Global Health

Background:

  • Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) pose a growing global health challenge, particularly in developing nations.
  • Existing healthcare infrastructures in these regions often struggle to meet the increasing demand for NCD prevention and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel preventive medical service in Bangladesh, integrating eHealth checkups and teleconsultation.
  • To assess the efficacy of stratification rules for health conditions and the short-term impact of the intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an eHealth system with sensor devices, mobile data transmission, and a data management application.
  • Deployment of eHealth checkups across five villages and five factories/offices, with automatic health categorization (green, yellow, orange, red).
  • Provision of teleconsultation and teleprescription for individuals categorized as orange or red.

Main Results:

  • Initial checkup included 16,741 subjects; 2,361 participated in a one-year follow-up.
  • Significant reduction in systolic blood pressure from 121 mmHg to 116 mmHg (P<.001) in the follow-up group.
  • Proposal of a cost-effective, sustainable program using machine learning for stratification, reducing the need for costly blood sugar measurements.

Conclusions:

  • The eHealth checkup and teleconsultation program demonstrated significant benefits for participants' health.
  • This integrated digital health approach offers an effective and sustainable healthcare system model for developing countries facing rising NCD prevalence.
