Introduction To Health Care Delivery System01:18

Introduction To Health Care Delivery System

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...

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...
Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe and...
Nursing Diagnosis01:22

Nursing Diagnosis

Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.
The nursing diagnosis focuses on evidence-based...
Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II01:25

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II

Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...
Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model01:15

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

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 illness...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Public Health
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Multimorbidity presents significant healthcare challenges, necessitating coordinated care for patients with multiple chronic conditions.
  • Current healthcare models often focus on single conditions, leading to fragmented care for patients with complex health needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and pilot a patient-centered integrated care model using Patient Need Groups (PNG) to manage multimorbidity.
  • To transition from condition-based care to a coordinated, multi-provider approach for improved patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the Adjusted Clinical Groups (ACG) classification to segment patients into Patient Need Groups (PNG).
  • Developing and implementing PNG care programs initially at the hospital level, with plans for regional expansion.
  • Integrating primary care, specialist, and community services into a cohesive care program.

Main Results:

  • The study outlines a phased implementation strategy, starting with hospital-level refinement and progressing to regional integration.
  • Identified key elements for success: stakeholder acceptance, infrastructure development, and multi-condition quality standards.
  • Exploration of a regional information platform to enhance provider and patient communication.

Conclusions:

  • The PNG model offers a framework for effective, sustainable management of multimorbid patients.
  • Successful implementation requires addressing systemic challenges like resource allocation and funding alignment.
  • The ultimate goal is to improve care coordination, leading to seamless, integrated care and enhanced health maintenance.
