Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Health Informatics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The United States lacks a comprehensive national database for critical care.
  • Existing national intensive care unit (ICU) registries vary globally.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of established national ICU databases.
  • To describe international patterns in critical care delivery and data collection.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search of MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science.
  • Inclusion of projects describing national critical care delivery in any language.
  • Extraction of database characteristics: ICU type, establishment year, data entry, and variables.

Main Results:

  • 185 manuscripts were included, identifying 30 countries with national ICU registries.
  • Registries capture diverse data: demographics, vital signs, comorbidities, diagnoses, treatments, severity scores, and outcomes.
  • Data entry often combines automated abstraction and manual entry with validation.

Conclusions:

  • Mature national ICU registries offer valuable insights for developing a U.S. program.
  • Such a program could facilitate benchmarking, needs assessment, quality improvement, and research.
  • International experiences can guide the establishment of a unified U.S. critical care database.
