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...

Erythropoiesis01:14

Erythropoiesis

4.7K
Red blood cells  (RBCs) transport oxygen to all body tissues. These cells survive only for 120 days and then need to be replenished. Erythropoiesis is the process of RBC production. In healthy individuals, erythropoiesis ensures all tissues are amply supplied with oxygen. In addition, blood loss due to injury leads to a drop in the physiological oxygen level that will cause erythropoiesis. Any defect in erythropoiesis leads to several physiological disorders, including thalassemia, anemia,...

Factors Affecting Erythropoiesis01:24

Factors Affecting Erythropoiesis

3.6K
The cardiovascular system regulates the number of erythrocytes in the bloodstream to ensure optimal oxygen transport. It also prevents over-proliferation of these cells, which helps to maintain blood viscosity and flow rate.
Several factors influence the erythrocyte production rate, with tissue oxygen level being among the most critical. Intense exercise or high altitudes can cause tissue hypoxia, which triggers the kidneys to release more erythropoietin (EPO) into the bloodstream.
EPO then...

Disorders of Erythrocytes01:27

Disorders of Erythrocytes

1.2K
Disorders of erythrocytes, or red blood cells (RBCs), include a range of conditions affecting their number, shape, or function.
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
On the other...

Summary

Global anaemia reduction targets for women are unachievable. A new health economic model shows a feasible 17% reduction by 2030 is achievable, offering realistic progress for human development.

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Health Economics
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Anaemia poses significant global health and economic challenges.
  • Current international targets for anaemia reduction in women of reproductive age are unlikely to be met.
  • Existing targets may be aspirational rather than based on achievable interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel method for setting feasible and ambitious global health targets.
  • To establish achievable reduction targets for anaemia in women of reproductive age using a health economic model.
  • To assess the cost-effectiveness of interventions for anaemia reduction.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a country-level health economic model for anaemia target setting.
  • Integrated country-specific data on anaemia prevalence, intervention effectiveness, costs, and cost-effectiveness thresholds.
  • Applied interventions to maximize health gains within country-level cost-effectiveness thresholds (1x GDP per capita).
  • Assessed uncertainty using Monte Carlo simulations and scenario analyses.

Main Results:

  • An ambitious, achievable, and cost-effective global anaemia reduction target for women aged 15-49 by 2030 is 17% (95% UI 5-34).
  • The maximum achievable reduction, removing cost constraints, is 22% (11-36).
  • The current 50% Sustainable Development Goal reduction target is unachievable with existing interventions.
  • Country-specific reduction targets vary from 0% to 29%.

Conclusions:

  • Value-based global anaemia reduction targets should be lower than current international commitments.
  • Setting targets based on achievable interventions and cost-effectiveness in diverse country contexts provides better incentives for progress.
  • This approach offers more realistic forecasts for human development and global health initiatives.
