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,...

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...

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...

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

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
    • Medical Informatics
    • Clinical Data Management

    Background:

    • Computer-based patient data is crucial for care, research, and reporting.
    • Current abstracting and coding systems (e.g., ICD, CPT, MeSH) lack sufficient detail for diverse applications.
    • Application developers often create proprietary coding schemes due to standardization gaps.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review existing medical coding and abstracting schemes.
    • To identify impediments to the acceptance of standardized medical coding.
    • To discuss current initiatives aimed at developing comprehensive medical terminologies.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing abstracting, electronic record, and comprehensive coding systems.
    • Analysis of challenges hindering the adoption of standardized coding.
    • Examination of emerging medical nomenclature efforts.

    Main Results:

    • No single standard currently supports all functions of coded patient data (care, reporting, decision support, research).
    • Existing systems like ICD, CPT, and MeSH are inadequate for detailed data requirements.
    • Several initiatives (SNOMED, UMLS, Read Codes, GALEN) are working towards unified medical language.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a critical need for a comprehensive, standardized medical coding system.
    • Overcoming resistance and technical challenges is key to adopting new terminologies.
    • Efforts like UMLS and SNOMED represent significant progress toward unified medical language standards.
