Secondary Healthcare System

1.8K
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...

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...

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...

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Healthcare Management
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Health Quality Ontario released a Primary Care Performance Measurement Framework in 2014.
  • Numerous recommended measures and limited data availability necessitated a prioritization process.
  • The Steering Committee for the Primary Care Performance Measurement (PCPM) initiative addressed this challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the prioritization process for selecting high-value performance measures.
  • To outline initiatives undertaken to implement the PCPM framework in Ontario.
  • To advance primary care performance measurement and reporting.

Main Methods:

  • A prioritization process was established by the PCPM initiative's Steering Committee.
  • Two subsets of high-value performance measures were selected: system-level and practice-level.
  • The article details the process, results, and implementation initiatives.

Main Results:

  • A prioritization process successfully identified key performance measures.
  • Implementation initiatives have been initiated to advance the PCPM framework.
  • The study highlights the non-linear and incremental nature of performance measurement system implementation.

Conclusions:

  • Establishing a primary care measurement framework and prioritizing measures are crucial for system improvement.
  • The implementation of performance measurement systems is an ongoing, adaptive process.
  • Ontario's experience provides insights into advancing primary care performance measurement.
