Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.6K
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...

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...

Cancer Prevention

6.3K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

476
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Sociology of Health and Illness
  • Rural Health Disparities

Background:

  • Rural-urban cancer disparities in the U.S. disproportionately affect Black, Latino, and Native populations.
  • Existing research often overlooks the complex social and economic factors influencing rural cancer care seeking.
  • Marginalization in healthcare spaces exacerbates these disparities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and demonstrate the utility of the household production of health (HHPH) approach for studying rural cancer care.
  • To provide a contextually-sensitive framework for understanding healthcare seeking and decision-making processes in rural settings.
  • To offer alternative interpretations and new research/intervention avenues for rural cancer disparities.

Main Methods:

  • Adapting the established HHPH approach, grounded in anthropological theory, to a rural U.S. context.
  • Analyzing household resource allocation (time, money, social capital) in relation to cancer care seeking.
  • Utilizing case study examples from rural households, drawing on international HHPH research (Zambia).

Main Results:

  • The rural HHPH approach highlights the intricate relations, negotiations, and interactions within households influencing cancer care decisions.
  • It reveals how broader social structures impact resource availability and allocation for health within rural families.
  • Demonstrates the potential for alternative interpretations of existing rural cancer research.

Conclusions:

  • The HHPH approach provides a nuanced lens for understanding cancer care seeking behaviors in rural U.S. populations.
  • It emphasizes the need for interventions sensitive to the lived realities and resource constraints of rural households.
  • Further application of this approach can deepen understanding of rural cancer disparities and inform targeted strategies.
