Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.5K
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...

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...

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...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

1.9K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Bioethics
  • Information Systems

Background:

  • Digital transformation is reshaping all sectors, with digital health emerging as its application in healthcare.
  • Existing digital health models risk compromising privacy, human rights, dignity, and autonomy due to business-driven goals.
  • Current laws and system architectures exhibit significant weaknesses in protecting individual rights within digital health ecosystems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the ideologies, beliefs, and goals driving digital transformation in health and their impact on human rights.
  • To identify weaknesses in current digital health frameworks concerning privacy, dignity, and autonomy.
  • To propose an alternative model, human-centric digital health (HCDH), prioritizing human rights and values.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a comprehensive literature review of 560 research articles on digital transformation in health.
  • Analyzed guiding ideologies, beliefs, and goals, assessing potential consequences for human rights and privacy.
  • Employed systems thinking and system modeling to develop a multi-view system model for HCDH.

Main Results:

  • Identified significant vulnerabilities in current laws, regulations, and system architectures regarding privacy, dignity, and human rights.
  • Highlighted risks associated with business-world ideologies (neoliberalism, privatization, data commodification) in digital health.
  • Developed a human-centric digital health (HCDH) system model using five views: ideas, health data, principles, regulation, and innovations.

Conclusions:

  • Current digital health approaches pose substantial risks to human rights, privacy, dignity, and autonomy.
  • Human-centric digital health (HCDH) offers a framework aligned with human rights and values, supporting dignity, privacy, and autonomy.
  • Future-proofing HCDH requires extending human rights, adopting restricted informational ownership of health data, and developing new legal frameworks.
