Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

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 limited...

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...

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...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

    Area of Science:

    • Health Economics
    • Healthcare Management
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Evaluating healthcare programs requires robust methods to compare effectiveness and costs.
    • Traditional methods may not adequately capture the nuances of diverse patient outcomes and resource utilization.
    • Informed decision-making in healthcare necessitates clear comparisons of alternative interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a generalized cost-effectiveness technique for comparing alternative healthcare programs.
    • To illustrate the application of this technique using programs for the care of the elderly.
    • To provide a framework for ranking healthcare alternatives based on defined standards.

    Main Methods:

    • Establishing specific criteria and standards for each outcome and cost dimension.
    • Assessing the relationship between these standards and the patient's health status.
    • Utilizing a tabular display to examine relative effectiveness and costs across different settings.

    Main Results:

    • The technique allows for a systematic comparison of healthcare programs.
    • It facilitates the ranking of alternatives based on their performance against set standards and incurred costs.
    • The tabular display offers a clear overview of program attainments.

    Conclusions:

    • The generalized cost-effectiveness technique provides a structured approach to healthcare program evaluation.
    • This method enhances the ability to compare diverse healthcare interventions, particularly for vulnerable populations like the elderly.
    • The approach supports evidence-based resource allocation and program selection.
