Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new release in the Quality Chasm Series, Priority Areas for National Action recommends a set of 20 priority areas that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other groups in the public and private sectors should focus on to improve the quality of health care delivered to all Americans. The priority areas selected represent the entire spectrum of health care from preventive care to end of life care. They also touch on all age groups, health care settings and health care providers. Collective action in these areas could help transform the entire health care system. In addition, the report identifies criteria and delineates a process that DHHS may adopt to determine future priority areas.

Download or read book Characterising Needs in Health Care Priority Setting written by Erik Gustavsson and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this thesis is needs in the context of health care priority setting. The notion of needs has a strong standing in health care policy; however, how the idea should be understood more specifically and how it should guide decisions about priority setting remain contentious issues. The aim of this thesis is to explore how needs should be characterised in health care priority setting. This matter is approached by, first, exploring and developing the conceptual structure of health care needs, and second, discussing and suggesting solutions to normative questions that arise when needs are characterised as a distributive principle. In the first article, the conceptual structure of needs in general and health care needs in particular is explored, and it is argued that a specific characterisation of health care needs is required. In the second article, the notion of health care needs is explored in relation to preferences for health care within the context of shared decision-making. The paper further discusses a number of queries that arise in the intersection between what the patient needs and what the patient wants. The third article discusses how a principle of need should handle questions about interpersonal aggregation. The paper characterises a principle of need which strikes a reasonable balance between giving priority to the worst off and the distribution of benefits with regard to interpersonal aggregation. The fourth article discusses how a principle of need should account for the fact that patients often are badly off due to several conditions rather than one single condition. It is argued that how badly off patients are should be understood as a function of how badly off these patients are when all of their conditions (for which they need health care) are considered. The frame story provides the terminological, theoretical, contextual, and methodological background for the discussion undertaken in this thesis. The conclusions of the articles are brought together and the discussion extended in the concluding discussion by sketching a number of conditions of adequacy for the concept and principle of need relevant for health care priority setting. Den här avhandlingen fokuserar på behov och behovsprinciper inom hälso- och sjukvården. Behov har länge haft en stark ställning inom hälso- och sjukvården men det är omdiskuterat hur begreppet ska förstås mer specifikt och framförallt hur det ska vara vägledande för prioriteringar inom hälso- och sjukvården. Syftet med den här avhandlingen är att karakterisera behov för sådana prioriteringar. Avhandlingen tar sig an detta syfte utifrån två ansatser. För det första, genom att undersöka och utveckla den begreppsliga strukturen hos vårdbehov och, för det andra, genom att diskutera samt ge förslag på lösningar på ett antal normativa frågor som uppstår när vårdbehov skall karakteriseras som en fördelningsprincip. I den första artikeln undersöks begreppen behov och vårdbehov utifrån den allmänfilosofiska diskussionen om behov. I artikeln karakteriseras begreppet vårdbehov på ett sätt som gör det lämpligt för prioriteringar inom hälsooch sjukvården. I den andra artikeln utforskas begreppet vårdbehov i relation till önskemål om vård inom ramen för delat beslutsfattande. I artikeln diskuteras också ett antal frågeställningar som aktualiseras i relation till den spänning som kan uppstå mellan patientens behov å ena sidan och patientens önskemål å andra sidan. I den tredje artikeln behandlas frågan om hur en behovsprincip bör hantera frågor som rör sammanvägning av olika personers behov. I artikeln karakteriseras och försvaras en behovsprincip som balanserar prioritet till de sämst ställda och hur hälsovinster bör fördelas. I den fjärde artikeln förs en diskussion om hur en behovsprincip bör göra reda för det faktum att patienter ofta lider av samsjuklighet snarare än av ett enskilt tillstånd. I artikeln drivs tesen att hur dåligt ställt en patient har det bör förstås som en funktion av hur dåligt ställt patienten har det när alla patientens tillstånd (för vilka patienten behöver vård) har tagits i beaktande, snarare än hur dåligt ställt patienten har det med avseende på det specifika tillstånd för vilket patienten skall behandlas. I kappan ges den terminologiska, kontextuella, teoretiska och metodologiska bakgrunden för diskussionen i avhandlingen. I en avslutande diskussion förs slutsatserna från artiklarna samman och diskussionen utvidgas genom att skissera ett antal adekvansvillkor för begreppet vårdbehov och behovsprinciper i vården.

Book excerpt: This book examines methods for selecting topics and setting priorities for clinical practice guideline development and implementation. Clinical practice guidelines are "systematically defined statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances." In its assessment of processes for setting priorities, the committee considers the principles of consistency with the organization's mission, implementation feasibility, efficiency, utility of the results to the organization, and openness and defensibilityâ€"a principle that is especially important to public agencies. The volume also examines the implications of health care restructuring for priority setting and topic selection, including the link between national and local approaches to guidelines development.
