Primary Healthcare Services

2.6K
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...

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...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

4.2K
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 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:

Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

2.5K
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,...

Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

2.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Primary Health Care Systems
  • Information Technology in Medicine

Background:

  • Iranian primary health care relies on paper-based data collection.
  • Timely decision-making is hindered by manual data management.
  • Existing systems lack comprehensive electronic health record integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the progress of an electronic health record (EHR) implementation in Iranian primary health care.
  • To present the selection of summarized data for the EHR system.
  • To discuss experiences gained from a four-year pilot project.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of an electronic health record system across four urban healthcare facilities.
  • Connection of facilities to headquarters and beyond, covering all primary health care aspects.
  • Focus on the progress and lessons learned, excluding technical software engineering details.

Main Results:

  • A robust and extensible EHR software architecture and structural model were developed and implemented.
  • Four urban healthcare facilities have been successfully connected for four years.
  • The pilot project demonstrated the feasibility of comprehensive EHR in the region.

Conclusions:

  • The implemented EHR system and structural model are robust and extensible.
  • Pilot studies require clearly defined aims and durations for successful management.
  • Human factors and resistance to change are significant considerations in IT implementation.
