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,...

Introduction To Health Care Delivery System

4.2K
The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) advocates for a patient-centered, effective, safe, timely, equitable, and effective healthcare system. The National Priorities...

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...

Traditional Level Of Health Care System

3.5K
The levels of care describe the services provided in the healthcare system. Accordingly, there are six levels of the traditional healthcare system in the US: preventive, primary, secondary, tertiary, restorative, and continuing healthcare. A nurse must understand how the healthcare industry organizes and provides services within these levels of care.
The preventive healthcare service includes tests for screening. Preventive health care services include identifying and reducing disease risk...

    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Stakeholders increasingly evaluate health systems using performance metrics.
    • Definitions of
    • high-performing
    • health systems vary widely.
    • A consistent definition is lacking.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To systematically review definitions of
    • high-performing
    • health care delivery systems.
    • To identify common definitions and metrics used.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of English-language articles (2005-2016).
    • Searched PubMed, WorldCat, and NY Academy of Medicine Grey Literature.
    • Extracted definitions, dimensions, and metrics of high performance.

    Main Results:

    • No consistent definition of a high-performing health system was identified.
    • Quality (93%) and cost (67%) were the most common dimensions.
    • Most studies used multiple dimensions, but few used five or more.

    Conclusions:

    • The lack of a standardized definition impedes healthcare system comparison and performance-based rewards.
    • A consensus definition for high performance in healthcare is needed.
