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...

Patient-centered Care

2.2K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Public Health Policy
  • Healthcare Systems Research

Background:

  • Global environmental degradations like climate change pose significant public health threats.
  • Planetary Health is an emerging field emphasizing the interconnectedness of human health, non-human organisms, and ecosystems.
  • Current Western healthcare systems face challenges in affordability, equity, and sustainability, often prioritizing hospitals over primary care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for the integration of a Planetary Health perspective within healthcare systems.
  • To highlight the potential of primary care in addressing environmental health impacts and driving societal change.
  • To propose necessary transformations in primary care roles, activities, and organization.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of Planetary Health principles.
  • Review of current healthcare system limitations and the role of primary care.
  • Argument for redefining primary care to incorporate socio-environmental determinants of health.

Main Results:

  • Healthcare systems must adapt to environmental changes and accelerate societal transformations towards sustainability.
  • Primary care, with its holistic and community-based approach, is well-positioned to contribute to Planetary Health.
  • Significant redefinition of primary care roles and enhanced interprofessional collaboration are required.

Conclusions:

  • A profound transformation of the entire health system, with a key role for public health, is necessary.
  • Primary care can be a crucial frontline for implementing Planetary Health by integrating environmental determinants and fostering sustainable care models.
  • Strengthening synergies between health and sustainability sectors is essential for a successful transition.
