Insights

The Children and Young People's Health Partnership (CYPHP) model improves integrated care for children with common health issues. This economic evaluation assesses its cost-effectiveness and impact on health outcomes for children and young people.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Pediatric Health
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • The Children and Young People's Health Partnership (CYPHP) Evelina London Model of Care offers integrated healthcare for children and young people (CYP).
  • It incorporates population health management, specialist multidisciplinary clinics, and professional training resources.
  • Implemented in South London since April 2018, its effectiveness is being evaluated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a within-trial and beyond-trial economic evaluation of the CYPHP model.
  • To compare the resource use and health outcome impacts of CYPHP against enhanced usual care.
  • To assess cost-effectiveness from National Health Service/Personal Social Service and societal perspectives.

Main Methods:

  • A cluster randomised controlled trial involving 90,000 CYP under 16 across 23 general practitioner (GP) practice clusters.
  • Cost-effectiveness analysis of a sample of 2,138 CYP with asthma, eczema, or constipation.
  • Health outcomes measured using the Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory and Child Health Utility 9 Dimensions (CHU-9D) for quality-adjusted life years (QALYs).
  • A 10-year long-term model to extend the analytical horizon.

Main Results:

  • Economic evaluation will quantify resource use and health outcome impacts.
  • Cost-effectiveness analysis will determine the value of CYPHP for specific pediatric conditions.
  • Cost-benefit analysis will integrate parental well-being using the Warwick-Edinburg Mental Well-being Scale.

Conclusions:

  • The economic evaluation will provide crucial data on the value of integrated care models like CYPHP.
  • Findings will inform decision-making for community-based pediatric healthcare, particularly in urban settings.
  • Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, policy briefs, and community events.

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

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...

Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Secondary Healthcare System01:11

Secondary Healthcare System

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.

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

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...
