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...

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...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

564
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...

Factors Affecting Drug Response: Overview

1.9K
When it comes to infants and young children, they are typically administered smaller doses of medication in comparison to adults. This is primarily because their organ functions still need to fully develop, meaning their bodies are not as efficient at metabolizing or eliminating drugs. Additionally, their blood-brain barrier is more permeable than in adults. As a result, high concentrations of drugs can easily penetrate the central nervous system (CNS), potentially leading to neurological...

The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) advocates for a patient-centered, effective, safe, timely, equitable, and effective healthcare system. The National Priorities...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.0K
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:

  • Pediatric Healthcare
  • Complex Care Management
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Children with medical complexity (CMC) incur high healthcare costs, representing a significant burden on healthcare systems.
  • Complex care programs (CCP) have shown promise in reducing healthcare utilization and improving parental satisfaction for CMC.
  • Understanding the mechanisms behind these improvements from a parental perspective is crucial for optimizing care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore parental perspectives on the reasons for decreased emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalization length of stay among CMC enrolled in a CCP.
  • To identify key enablers within CCPs that contribute to reduced healthcare resource utilization.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing in-depth, semi-structured interviews with parents of CMC in a CCP.
  • Interviews guided by a guide co-constructed with an interdisciplinary team, including a parent partner.
  • Thematic analysis used to inductively identify key themes from the collected data.

Main Results:

  • Parents identified personalized care, family empowerment, and guidance as key program enablers contributing to reduced hospital care utilization.
  • Improvements in the child's medical baseline condition were also noted as a factor, though not directly attributed to program support.
  • The clinical nurse coordinator was highlighted as central to facilitating these supportive strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Personalized care, parental empowerment, and guidance are critical strategies within CCPs that can decrease ED visits and hospital length of stay.
  • The role of the clinical nurse coordinator is pivotal in implementing these strategies and supporting families.
  • These findings offer valuable insights for enhancing CCPs to better serve CMC and their families.
