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

2.1K
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...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.3K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors01:29

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors

271
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drug levels in a patient's blood or body tissues to manage and optimize therapy. TDM is crucial for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, like warfarin and phenytoin, where incorrect doses can lead to treatment failure or severe side effects. This monitoring ensures the dosage administered is within a safe and effective range. The factors affecting therapeutic drug monitoring include:Patient-Specific Factors:a.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Policy
  • Pharmacoeconomics

Background:

  • Medicine enhances quality of life and longevity by combating diseases.
  • Equitable access to medicines is a fundamental human right.
  • The concept of essential medicines (EMs) aims to improve supply chains and rational prescribing in resource-limited settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the role of essential medicines (EMs) in improving healthcare accessibility and affordability.
  • To highlight the importance of rational drug selection and use in healthcare.
  • To emphasize the need for collaboration in achieving equitable medicine access.

Main Methods:

  • Review of essential medicines (EMs) principles and World Health Organization (WHO) policies.
  • Analysis of the impact of EM policies on drug accessibility, affordability, and distribution.
  • Discussion of the role of training programs in drug information and adverse drug reactions.

Main Results:

  • The implementation of EM policies has improved the quality of medicine use, particularly in developing countries.
  • EMs facilitate better procurement, storage, distribution, and dispensing of medicines.
  • Training programs enhance drug information dissemination and adverse drug reaction reporting, boosting healthcare access.

Conclusions:

  • Essential medicines (EMs) are crucial for ensuring rational drug use and improving healthcare quality.
  • Effective implementation requires appropriate selection, adequate dosing, correct information, and affordable costs.
