Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

4.2K
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.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

14.2K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

2.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Investigates the intersection of political economy, institutional factors, and population health outcomes.
  • Contributes to understanding upstream determinants of health beyond traditional public health research.

Background:

  • The relationship between corruption and population health is underexplored in public health literature.
  • Existing research often overlooks macro-level structural determinants like corruption.
  • This study addresses the gap by examining corruption's impact on mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between corruption and mortality rates globally.
  • To explore the pathways through which corruption affects population health.
  • To inform policy by highlighting the link between combating corruption and improving health outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes country-level data from 102 nations between 2008 and 2018.
  • Employs econometric methods, including instrumental variables and the Mundlak approach.
  • Uses historical cultural factors as instrumental variables to address endogeneity concerns.

Main Results:

  • A significant positive relationship was found between corruption levels and higher mortality rates.
  • Corruption is associated with reduced government revenue, weaker fiscal capacity, and misallocation of public funds, particularly in health care.
  • The impact of corruption on mortality is moderated by the level of public goods provision.

Conclusions:

  • Corruption is a significant upstream determinant of population health, impacting health financing and resource allocation.
  • Addressing corruption should be considered a public health priority.
  • Combating corruption aligns with and supports global health objectives, such as the Sustainable Development Goals.
