Healthcare Agencies II01:17

Healthcare Agencies II

1.1K
There are various healthcare agencies in the United States—some of which are managed by religious institutions and others by different government branches.
Parish nursing is a growing specialty nursing profession that focuses on holistic healthcare, health promotion, and illness prevention. It blends professional nursing practice with a health ministry, focusing on health and healing within the context of a Christian community. Parish nurses serve as health educators, referral sources,...

Secondary Healthcare System01:11

Secondary Healthcare System

2.0K
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...

Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

2.2K
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...

Primary Healthcare Services

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...

Preventive Healthcare Services

2.1K
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:

Healthcare Agencies I

Healthcare agencies provide healthcare services to people. In the United States, voluntary agencies are often non-profit centers sponsored by donations, grants, or fundraisers. One such organization is Meals on Wheels, which provides meals to the elderly and homebound. The American Heart Association and the American Lung Association are other non-profit community organizations. Doctors and nurses are frequently active members of these organizations, which offer health checks and educational...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Health Economics
  • Applied Data Science

Background:

  • Commercial insurers aim to optimize healthcare resource allocation.
  • Predictive analytics can identify high-risk members for targeted interventions.
  • Previous interventions often lack rigorous evaluation of impact on specific healthcare utilization metrics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a commercial insurer's predictive analytics-driven intervention on healthcare utilization.
  • To assess the impact of targeting high-risk individuals identified by a claims-based algorithm.
  • To determine if the intervention reduced emergency room visits, specialist visits, and hospitalizations.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a regression discontinuity design to analyze the intervention's impact.
  • Utilized a claims-based algorithm to generate member-level healthcare utilization risk scores.
  • Compared healthcare utilization between members above and below an arbitrary outreach cutoff point.

Main Results:

  • Predictive analytics-driven outreach significantly reduced emergency room visits.
  • Targeted interventions led to a decrease in specialist visits.
  • No statistically significant reduction was observed in hospitalization rates.

Conclusions:

  • Predictive analytics interventions can effectively reduce certain types of healthcare utilization, such as ER and specialist visits.
  • The arbitrary nature of cutoff points in resource-constrained interventions warrants careful consideration.
  • Further research is needed to understand the impact on hospitalizations and optimize intervention design.
