Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

722
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...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.3K
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...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.6K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

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.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Regional Economics

Background:

  • The Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle is a key national strategy, necessitating equitable health resource distribution.
  • Understanding regional variations in health resource allocation is crucial for targeted policy interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze and quantify regional differences in health resource allocation within the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle.
  • To identify areas with superior and inferior health resource distribution.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal analysis of health resource data from 2017 to 2021 across 42 regions.
  • Utilized the entropy weight technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) and the rank sum ratio (RSR) methods for evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Licensed (assistant) physicians per 1000 population (3.01) in the region was slightly below China's average (3.04) in 2021.
  • Chongqing's Yuzhong district ranked highest, while several regions in Chongqing and Sichuan Province were identified as having poor health resource allocation.
  • The entropy weight-TOPSIS method revealed significant variations, with specific districts in Chongqing and cities in Sichuan ranking in the top 10 or bottom 10.

Conclusions:

  • Obvious regional disparities in health resource allocation exist within the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle.
  • Chongqing's health resource allocation is polarized, whereas Sichuan Province's is more balanced but lacks prominent leading regions.
