Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.9K
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

3.5K
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...

Tertiary Healthcare System

1.9K
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

Current Trends in Nursing II

1.4K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Secondary Healthcare System01:11

Secondary Healthcare System

1.6K
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
  • Digital Health
  • Rural Health Equity

Background:

  • Global health disparities persist between metropolitan and rural areas.
  • Virtual hospitals (VHs) offer a promising solution to bridge healthcare access gaps in underserved regions.
  • Further research is needed on evidence-based strategies for VH implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of VHs in improving regional and remote healthcare.
  • To analyze accessibility, patient and provider experiences, and implementation factors.
  • To provide recommendations for equitable health care delivery in remote areas.

Main Methods:

  • Rapid review following WHO guidelines.
  • Systematic search of databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL) and gray literature (2015-2023).
  • Mixed methods thematic analysis of 35 included articles.

Main Results:

  • Positive clinical outcomes (e.g., reduced transmission, improved safety) reported in 26% of studies.
  • Health system benefits (e.g., cost reduction, efficiency, coverage) found in 43% of studies.
  • Barriers and facilitators related to people, processes, technology, and finances were frequently identified.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual hospitals (VHs) show significant potential to transform regional and remote healthcare.
  • Addressing implementation challenges and utilizing facilitators can lead to improved clinical results.
  • VHs can enhance patient and healthcare provider satisfaction in remote settings.
