Published on: January 20, 2019
Summary
Rising healthcare costs are a major concern. A shift from paternalistic to cooperative care models, focusing on wellness, can reduce illness costs and improve patient satisfaction and care quality.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Economics
- Public Health Policy
- Health Behavior
Background:
- Healthcare costs are escalating due to historical factors and patient expectations.
- Cost-reduction measures like staff reduction may compromise care quality.
- Current acute-care models are often paternalistic, not optimized for long-term wellness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore alternative healthcare models for cost reduction and quality improvement.
- To investigate the potential of a cooperative care model emphasizing wellness behavior.
- To analyze the impact of efficacy and negotiated health levels on healthcare outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis of healthcare models.
- Examination of cooperative care principles.
- Evaluation of concepts like efficacy and negotiated health levels.
Main Results:
- Cooperative care models can reduce the cost of illness.
- This approach enhances patient satisfaction and compliance.
- Emphasis on wellness behavior improves overall quality of care.
Conclusions:
- A paradigm shift towards cooperative, wellness-focused healthcare is recommended.
- Negotiated health levels and efficacy are key components for success.
- This model offers a sustainable solution to rising healthcare costs and quality concerns.

01:26Methods 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...

01:11Secondary Healthcare System
Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...
01:21Tertiary Healthcare System
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care to...
01:29Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System
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.

01:20Integrated Healthcare System
An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...
