Regional Terms01:12

Regional Terms

16.5K
Regional terms describe anatomy by dividing the body parts into different regions that contain structures involved in contributing similar functions. Using these terms helps increase the accurate description and identification of the particular region of interest or region affected by the disease.
Primarily, the human body has two major regions, the axial and appendicular regions. The axial region comprises regions from the head to the abdomen and makes up the central body axis. In contrast,...

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,...

Primary Healthcare Services

2.5K
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...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia

1.6K
Intravenous regional anesthesia or the Bier block technique is used to anesthetize a specific limb or extremity. It uses exsanguinated or blood-drained vessels to transport local anesthetics or LAs to the peripheral nerve trunks. Lidocaine without vasoconstrictors like epinephrine is most commonly used for this technique. Other drugs used are prilocaine, ropivacaine, and chloroprocaine. Bupivacaine is not recommended for this technique due to its high cardiac toxicity.
One of the advantages of...

Anatomy of the Brain: Major Regions

11.7K
The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. It consists of four main parts: the cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, and brainstem.
The cerebrum is the largest section of the brain and divides into left and right hemispheres, separated by a deep fissure. The cerebral outer layer of grey matter — the cerebral cortex — comprises elevations called gyri and shallow groves called sulci. The inner portion of white matter includes long nerve fibers known as axons, which connect...

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants01:19

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants

18.7K
To promote clear communication, for instance, about the location of a patient's abdominal pain or a suspicious mass, anatomists and clinicians typically use imaginary lines to categorize the abdominopelvic cavity into either four quadrants or nine regions to identify organs in the cavity.
The simpler quadrants approach, which is more commonly used in medicine, subdivides the cavity with one horizontal and one vertical line that intersects at the patient's umbilicus (navel). The four...

Summary

Regionalization of health services in Amazonas faces challenges due to municipal asymmetry and bureaucratic institutions. Insufficient financing and governance hinder effective healthcare network management in the region.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Services Management
  • Regional Planning

Background:

  • The State of Amazonas, Brazil, is undergoing a health services regionalization process.
  • Understanding the dynamics of this process is crucial for improving healthcare access and delivery in the Amazonian context.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the health services regionalization process in the State of Amazonas, focusing on the Manaus Surroundings health sub-region.
  • To identify the social, institutional, and political factors influencing regionalization efforts.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative, descriptive, and analytical research design.
  • Data collection through interviews, document analysis, and internet reviews.
  • Guided by the concept of health regionalization.

Main Results:

  • The study identified a social environment characterized by asymmetry, verticality, competitiveness, and weak inter-municipal relations.
  • Local institutions exhibit a bureaucratic profile, and political agents show limited understanding of their operating conditions.
  • Financing, governance, and technical capacity are insufficient to overcome identified healthcare network management issues.

Conclusions:

  • The regionalization of health services in Amazonas is hampered by structural social and institutional weaknesses.
  • Political actors often attribute management challenges to geographical factors, overlooking critical issues of capacity and governance.
  • Addressing these deficiencies is essential for successful health system strengthening in the region.
