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...

Secondary Healthcare System01:11

Secondary Healthcare System

2.2K
Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...

Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

2.4K
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

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.

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

1.6K
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Digital Health
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Information technology is increasingly used in healthcare for service delivery.
  • Telephone technology facilitates services like disease management and consultations.
  • Telemedicine offers a promising alternative to in-person general practice care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review evidence on telemedicine as a primary or alternative service to general practice visits.
  • To collate data on the effectiveness and application of telemedicine in primary care settings.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and ICTRP.
  • Inclusion of randomized controlled trials and other evidence levels if RCTs are unavailable.
  • Quality assessment and data extraction by two independent reviewers, with a third reviewer for consensus.

Main Results:

  • Telemedicine interventions and general practice have the potential to offer diverse healthcare services.
  • Identifying appropriate clinical outcome measures for diverse patient populations may be challenging.
  • A broad spectrum of outcome measures will be collected during data extraction.

Conclusions:

  • Telemedicine is a viable option for delivering a wide array of healthcare services.
  • Further research may be needed to standardize outcome measures for telemedicine effectiveness.
  • The review protocol adheres to PRISMA-P guidelines for systematic reviews.
