SECTION: MANAGEMENT OF CARE
CHAPTER 1 Health Care Delivery Systems
Health care delivery systems incorporate interactions between health care providers and clients within the constraints of financing mechanisms and regulatory agencies.
Health care systems include the clients who participate, the settings in which health care takes place, the agencies that regulate health care, and the mechanisms that provide financial/uni00A0support.
Most nurses deliver care within the context of health care systems. As these systems continue to become more business-driven and less service-oriented, the challenge to nursing today is to retain its caring values while practicing within a cost-containment structure.

PUBLIC FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAMS

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 is a federal statute aimed at: /uni25CFIncreasing access to health care for all individuals and instituting an individual mandate for health insurance. /uni25CFDecreasing health care costs. /uni25CFProviding opportunities for uninsured people to become insured at an affordable cost.

LEVELS OF HEALTH CARE
Preventive health care focuses on educating and equipping clients to reduce and control risk factors for disease. Examples include programs that promote immunization, stress management, occupational health, and seat belt use.
Primary health care emphasizes health promotion and includes prenatal and well-baby care, family planning, nutrition counseling, and disease control. This level of care is a sustained partnership between clients and providers. Examples include office or clinic visits, community health centers, and scheduled school- or work-centered screenings (vision, hearing, obesity).
Secondary health care includes the diagnosis and treatment of acute illness and injury. Examples include care in hospital settings (inpatient and emergency departments), diagnostic centers, and urgent and emergent care centers.
Tertiary health care , or acute care, involves the provision of specialized and highly technical care. Examples include intensive care, oncology centers, and burn centers.
Restorative health care involves intermediate follow -up care for restoring health and promoting self- care. Examples include home health care, rehabilitation centers, and skilled nursing facilities.
Continuing health care addresses long -term or chronic health care needs over a period of time. Examples include end-of-life care, palliative care, hospice, adult day care, assisted living, and in- home respite care.RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS AND LEVELS OF CARE
People: The level of care depends on the needs of the client. Licensed and unlicensed health care personnel work in every level of care.
Setting: The settings for secondary and tertiary care are usually within a hospital or specific facility. Settings for other levels of care vary.
Regulatory agencies help ensure the quality and quantity of health care and the protection of health care consumers.
Health care finance influences the quality and type of care by setting parameters for cost containment and reimbursement. SAFETY AND QUALITY
In response to concerns about the safety and quality of client care in the United States, Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) assists nursing programs in preparing nurses to provide safe, high-quality care. To draw attention to the six QSEN competencies, these icons appear throughout the review modules.
Safety: The minimization of risk factors that could cause injury or harm while promoting high-quality care and maintaining a secure environment for clients, self, and others
Patient -Centered Care: The provision of caring and compassionate, culturally sensitive care that addresses clients’ physiological, psychological, sociological, spiritual, and cultural needs, preferences, and values. The client is included in the decision- making process.
Evidence Based Practice: The use of current knowledge from research and other credible sources on which to base clinical judgment and client care
Informatics: The use of information technology as a communication and information- gathering tool that supports clinical decision -making and scientifically-based nursing practice
Quality Improvement: Care -related and organizational processes that involve the development and implementation of a plan to improve health care services and better meet clients’ needs
Teamwork and Collaboration: The delivery of client care in partnership with interprofessional members of the health care team to achieve continuity of care and positive client outcomes
THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE
The ultimate issue in designing and delivering health care is ensuring the health and welfare of the population.
