Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.2K
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 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...

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

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...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.6K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

This review summarizes evaluated interventions to maintain essential health services in low- and middle-income countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings can guide future preparedness for health system disruptions.

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Public Health
  • Health Systems Research

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic significantly challenged global health systems, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
  • Maintaining essential maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health services was critical amidst pandemic control efforts.
  • A lack of organized information hindered country-level decision-making for essential service continuity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and summarize evaluated interventions aimed at sustaining essential maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health services in LMICs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To identify lessons learned from these interventions to inform future preparedness and response strategies.
  • To facilitate the use of evidence-based interventions in subsequent health system disruptions.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review was conducted using Embase, MEDLINE, and Global Health databases.
  • Literature published between January 1, 2020, and December 26, 2022, was included.
  • Data on setting, population, service type, intervention, and evaluation were extracted and summarized quantitatively and narratively.

Main Results:

  • 30 studies described 32 evaluated interventions, primarily implemented in Africa and Southeast Asia.
  • Interventions focused on maternal/newborn health (56%) and child/adolescent health (56%), addressing access (94%), fear (31%), and workforce shortages (25%).
  • Common interventions included telehealth (69%), adapted care protocols (56%), and health education (40%), predominantly led by public or non-profit sectors.

Conclusions:

  • A growing body of evidence exists for interventions supporting essential health services in LMICs during COVID-19.
  • LMIC decision-makers can utilize inventories of implemented interventions and evaluations for evidence-based strategy implementation.
  • Tools for high-quality operational and implementation research during disruptions are needed for enhanced preparedness.
