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...

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.

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

1.7K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Public Health
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Decolonizing global health lacks a formal definition and clear objectives.
  • Existing research predominantly originates from the Global North, with limited representation from other regions.
  • Studies often exclude non-English publications and research prior to 2019, potentially limiting diverse perspectives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize research on decolonizing global health and identify existing gaps.
  • To examine the decolonization of global health curricula and authorship in indexed journals.
  • To build a shared understanding among global health scholars regarding decolonization efforts.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of 155 identified records, with a focus on global health curricula and authorship.
  • Inclusion of studies from all global regions for comprehensive geographical representation.
  • Exclusion of studies solely focusing on racism, non-English publications, and those prior to 2019.

Main Results:

  • Most studies were published from 2021 onward and originated from the Global North.
  • Key topics included curricula, the COVID-19 pandemic, and authorship equity for Global South scholars.
  • Global South voices remain underrepresented in indexed journals, with limited focus on actionable strategies for power shifts.

Conclusions:

  • Mentorship programs for Global South academics are recommended to build research capacity, grant writing, and leadership skills.
  • Broader structural reforms are needed, including equitable funding, decolonized research agendas, and dismantling hierarchical systems.
  • Collaborative networks are critical for dismantling oppressive systems and fostering a truly decolonized global health agenda that advances social justice and health equity.
