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...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.5K
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:

  • Global Health
  • Development Economics
  • Political Science

Background:

  • Child health is critical for human and economic development, with childhood illness causing long-term damage.
  • Globalization impacts health outcomes, but variations exist, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
  • The quality of democracy may explain differences in globalization's effect on child health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between globalization, democracy, and child health in developing countries.
  • To analyze how globalization and democratic status affect infant mortality rates.
  • To determine if democracy moderates the impact of globalization on child health.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized panel data from 70 developing countries spanning 1970–2009.
  • Examined the effects of globalization, democratic status, and democratic history on infant mortality.
  • Assessed the mediating role of nutrition in the globalization-democracy-child health nexus.

Main Results:

  • Globalization is associated with reduced infant mortality.
  • Higher levels of democracy generally correlate with improved child health outcomes.
  • Democracy significantly influences the magnitude of globalization's positive effect on child health; for instance, a hypothetical democratic scenario in Côte d'Ivoire could have saved 1200 infant lives annually.
  • Nutrition emerged as a key mediator.

Conclusions:

  • Globalization and democracy are independently associated with better child health in developing countries.
  • The interplay between globalization and democracy is crucial for enhancing child health.
  • Policy interventions should consider both global economic integration and democratic governance for child health improvement.
