Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

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 limited...
Primary Healthcare Services01:30

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...
Secondary Healthcare System01:11

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

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...
Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System01:29

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

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...

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Healthcare Management
    • Health Equity

    Background:

    • Mobile health clinics (MHC) are crucial for improving healthcare access among historically marginalized populations.
    • Understanding the operational aspects and outcomes of MHC programs is essential for optimizing their impact.
    • Existing literature highlights the need for a comprehensive overview of MHC services and their effectiveness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct a scoping review of mobile health clinic programs.
    • To identify target populations, settings, services, professionals, and outcomes of MHCs.
    • To synthesize findings on barriers, facilitators, and strategies for effective MHC implementation.

    Main Methods:

    • A scoping review methodology based on the Arksey and O'Malley framework was employed.
    • A comprehensive literature search was performed across PubMed, CINAHL Complete, and EBSCO's Business Source Complete databases.
    • Data from 38 relevant articles published between 2017 and 2024 were systematically extracted and analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Key themes identified include the significance of MHC setting, professional roles, and services offered.
    • The review highlights diverse populations served and measured outcomes across different MHC programs.
    • Barriers and facilitators to MHC program success were identified, emphasizing the need for adaptable service models.

    Conclusions:

    • Mobile health clinics play a vital role in bridging healthcare disparities for underserved populations.
    • Interprofessional collaboration beyond traditional settings is crucial for delivering inclusive care.
    • Findings offer valuable insights for designing and implementing impactful mobile health services in communities facing health inequities.
