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...

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...

Healthcare access in rural Algeria is limited, with low utilization of services. Factors like female gender, widowhood, higher income, chronic conditions, and longer travel times influenced healthcare utilization in Boussemghoun village.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Rural Health

Background:

  • Equitable healthcare access is a key Algerian health policy objective.
  • Limited research exists on healthcare access determinants in rural Algerian settings.
  • This study addresses healthcare utilization (HCU) in a remote Saharan village.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify HCU in Boussemghoun village.
  • To analyze socioeconomic and health-related factors influencing HCU.
  • To investigate spatial disparities and user experiences with local healthcare services.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional survey of 400 adult residents in Boussemghoun.
  • Structured questionnaire assessing utilization of 10 basic healthcare services over 12 months.
Rural Population
Socioeconomic Factors
  • Multivariate logistic regression analyzed determinants of high HCU.

    • Main Results:

    • Low HCU levels were observed across services (median score 4/33).
    • Factors associated with high HCU included female gender, widowed status, higher income, multiple chronic medications, recent acute health issues, and longer travel times.
    • 36.5% of participants traveled for healthcare, indicating interregional mobility.

    Conclusions:

    • Boussemghoun faces significant healthcare access challenges due to a lack of comprehensive care.
    • Frequent interregional healthcare travel highlights a mismatch between needs and local service availability.
    • Strategic interventions are crucial to reduce inequalities and improve local access to quality, multidisciplinary care.
