Introduction To Health Care Delivery System01:18

Introduction To Health Care Delivery System

3.9K
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...

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...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

650
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Equity Theory01:26

Equity Theory

263
Equity theory explains how our sense of fairness influences the dynamics of close relationships. Rooted in social psychology, the theory posits that individuals evaluate fairness by comparing the ratio of their contributions to the rewards they receive. Relationship satisfaction is highest when these ratios are perceived as balanced between partners, promoting mutual reciprocity and a sense of justice.Equity vs. Equality in RelationshipsEquity is distinct from equality. Fairness does not...

Secondary Healthcare System01:11

Secondary Healthcare System

2.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Health Equity Studies
  • Population Health Management

Background:

  • Health system delivery processes significantly influence health equity.
  • Limited guidance exists for measuring and reporting health inequities in key population health outcomes.
  • A novel measurement solution is proposed to address these gaps.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a "lens of equity" approach for measuring health inequities.
  • To disaggregate common health measures, such as breast cancer screening rates, by neighborhood and race.
  • To integrate equity metrics into corporate scorecards and support improvement initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Adopted a "lens of equity" concept to analyze health data.
  • Incorporated race/ethnicity (from electronic health records) and a surrogate for family income into measurement systems.
  • Added an equity category to system scorecards and utilized data insights tools.

Main Results:

  • Endeavor Health exceeded its breast cancer screening equity goal within one year.
  • Mammography adherence increased from 73% to 82.6% among residents in the lowest-income neighborhoods served.
  • The analytic approach demonstrated success in improving health equity for a key outcome.

Conclusions:

  • Thoughtful design of analytics and data systems is crucial for healthcare measurement and improvement.
  • The presented "lens-of-equity" analytic approach can be extended to other social determinants and health statuses.
  • This framework enables targeted policy and strategy initiatives to advance health equity.
