In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

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 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...

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
  • Public Health Policy
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Healthcare needs-based population segmentation is crucial for developing integrated healthcare services.
  • Policymakers often lack awareness of existing segmentation tools, leading to duplicated efforts.
  • A systematic review was conducted to identify and characterize available tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically identify all available tools for healthcare need-based population segmentation.
  • To inform policymakers in developing population-level health service programs.
  • To prevent the reinvention of existing segmentation tools.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases.
  • Inclusion criteria: tools with mutually exclusive segments and prognostic value for outcomes.
  • Characterization of tools based on formulation, base, validation, data requirements, and proprietary status.

Main Results:

  • 16 unique healthcare need-based population segmentation tools were identified from 9970 articles.
  • 9 of the identified tools had peer-reviewed validation studies.
  • Most tools share comparable segmentation bases, indicating recognized patient need profiles.

Conclusions:

  • The identified tools can aid policymakers in developing patient-centered care through tailored services.
  • Healthcare systems lacking comprehensive electronic medical records may benefit from primary data collection-based tools.
  • Future development should focus on validating primary data collection-based segmentation tools.
