Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

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...

Background:

Racial minorities are underrepresented in allied health professions.
Pathway programs aim to bridge this gap by providing career exposure and mentorship.
A pilot program was developed to address this disparity.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the impact of a pilot pathway program on increasing underrepresented minority (URM) students' interest in health professions.
To explore the effectiveness of career exploration and mentorship in engaging URM students.

Main Methods:

A pilot program was implemented involving high school students from a healthcare magnet school.
Participants engaged in healthcare presentations, skills sessions, and workshops with professionals.
Students were matched with mentors based on their career interests.

Main Results:

Twenty-two students participated in the pre-post survey study.
The program included career exploration, mentor-mentee meetings, and professional workshops.
Participants reported a higher likelihood of pursuing healthcare careers post-program.

Conclusions:

Preliminary findings indicate that pilot pathway programs can enhance URM students' interest in healthcare careers.
Such programs show promise in diversifying the allied health workforce.
Further research is warranted to validate these findings in larger cohorts.
