JAMA
|July 4, 1977
Resumen
El nivel de capacitación médica no afectó a los costos totales de tratamiento para enfermedades agudas. Sin embargo, los profesores y asistentes médicos incurrieron en mayores gastos de laboratorio y medicamentos, especialmente para los pacientes con malos resultados.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Economía de la salud economía de la salud.
- Cuidado ambulatorio de la atención ambulatoria.
- Educación médica y educación médica.
Sus antecedentes:
- La evaluación de los costos de atención médica es crucial para la asignación de recursos.
- Comprender las variaciones de costos entre los diferentes tipos de proveedores es esencial para una prestación eficiente de atención médica.
- El impacto del nivel de capacitación del proveedor en los costos del tratamiento en entornos ambulatorios requiere una investigación adicional.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar la relación entre los niveles de formación médica y los costos médicos directos.
- Para comparar los costos asociados con los episodios de enfermedad aguda tratados por profesores, residentes y asistentes médicos.
- Para identificar los factores de costo y su correlación con los resultados de los pacientes.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis retrospectivo de 1.700 episodios de enfermedad aguda en clínicas de atención ambulatoria.
- Categorización de los proveedores en profesores, residentes de práctica familiar (por año) y asistentes médicos.
- Examen de los costos totales y los costos de los componentes (laboratorio, medicamentos, etc.) En el caso de las personas que se encuentran en situación de exclusión social.
- Definición de un "buen resultado" como un retorno al funcionamiento habitual.
Principales resultados:
- No hay diferencias significativas en el costo total promedio por episodio basado en el tipo de proveedor.
- Diferencias significativas (P < .05) en los costos de laboratorio y medicamentos entre los tipos de proveedores.
- La facultad y los asistentes médicos incurrieron en costos más altos, especialmente para los pacientes con malos resultados.
- No hay diferencias significativas en los costos o las tasas de buenos resultados entre los residentes de primer, segundo y tercer año.
Conclusiones:
- El tipo de proveedor influye en los componentes de costo específicos (laboratorio, medicación) en lugar de los costos directos generales en la atención aguda ambulatoria.
- Los costos más altos asociados con los profesores y asistentes médicos pueden estar relacionados con los resultados de los pacientes.
- El nivel de capacitación médica, dentro de los años de residencia, no tuvo un impacto demostrable en la rentabilidad o los resultados de los pacientes en esta cohorte.

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...

01:26Traditional Level Of Health Care System
The levels of care describe the services provided in the healthcare system. Accordingly, there are six levels of the traditional healthcare system in the US: preventive, primary, secondary, tertiary, restorative, and continuing healthcare. A nurse must understand how the healthcare industry organizes and provides services within these levels of care.

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.

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...
01:28Hospitals-I
Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...
01:30Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II
Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
