Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.8K
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...

Introduction To Health Care Delivery System

3.5K
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...

Integrated Healthcare System

2.1K
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,...

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...

Secondary Healthcare System01:11

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...

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Health Systems Strengthening
  • Public Health Interventions

Background:

  • Global health initiatives require effective measurement of health interventions and implementation strength.
  • Existing health system models inadequately capture dynamic, multi-level relationships between system components.
  • Save the Children developed the Pathway to High Effective Coverage (Pathway) framework for strategic planning and M&E.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the Pathway to High Effective Coverage as a health systems thinking framework.
  • To describe its application in strategic planning, monitoring, and evaluation.
  • To demonstrate its utility in achieving high effective coverage and health impact.

Main Methods:

  • Iterative development and refinement of the Pathway framework.
  • Literature review and consultations with global health experts.
  • Testing and application of the framework in real-world health programs.

Main Results:

  • The Pathway is a robust framework analyzing system, policy, and delivery factors.
  • It comprises six key components: national readiness, system structures, management capacity, implementation strength, effective coverage, and impact.
  • Applications demonstrated its utility in strategic planning, progress monitoring, and evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • The Pathway offers a cohesive framework for assessing and coordinating actions to improve health coverage and impact.
  • Its application facilitates comprehensive monitoring and evaluation.
  • The framework shows potential adaptability for diverse health areas and sectors.
