Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provider-Led Population Health Management: Key Healthcare Strategies in the Cognitive Era, Second Edition draws connections among the new care-delivery models, the components of population health management, and the types of health IT that are required to support those components. The key concept that ties all of this together is that PHM requires a high degree of automation to reach everyone in a population, engage those patients in self-care, and maximize the chance that they will receive the proper preventive, chronic, and acute care. While this book is intended for healthcare executives and policy experts, anyone who is interested in health care can learn something from its exploration of the major issues that are stirring health care today. In the end, the momentous changes going on in health care will affect us all.

Download or read book Managing Affordable Healthcare Services for Emerging Economies written by Rahul Gope and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare service delivery in emerging economies comes with great contradictions: that despite being fast growing economies, healthcare remains unaffordable to the large chunk of its population particularly for patients belonging to the bottom of the pyramid (BoP). Thus the modern healthcare systems are missing out on the "Uncaptured Potential" of the Emerging Markets. In order to offer affordable healthcare to its citizens the developing countries face many challenges. Primarily qualified manpower at different levels and their willingness to work in remote as well as smaller cities and towns. These countries also faces constraints with traditional government system, fast growing private sector and lack of financial support for its citizens. Many private players including hospitals and medical device companies are developing schemes for healthcare delivery in Emerging Markets. However, models developed for resource rich environment will be less applicable for countries like India and other emerging countries need to develop their own mixed models of care delivery and improve the same based on their experience. In this book, the reader gets a holistic operations perspective on developing tailored and affordable service delivery models for Emerging Economies. The Book is divided into 4 Sections, Section 1 gives details on the demand side in terms Indian Healthcare Economics, the economic burden of diseases and the challenges and opportunities existing in these emerging economies , Section 2 focuses on the supply side, by finding out technical efficiencies of healthcare delivery systems and exploring the reasons of inefficiency and poor scale up, while Section 3 focuses on developing sustainable and profitable innovations and healthcare ventures for emerging markets and Section 4 Shows the advent of telemedicine and Artificial intelligence and their use cases in emerging markets. Our Effort has been to put together analysis and findings what we obtained from set of rigorous research, surveys, literature reviews, expert interviews, mathematical modelling and statistical analysis. Also for better understanding and to back our hypothesis and models, we had included real world case studies at various points. The book also presents more than 20 Successful healthcare models from various emerging economies and tries to device a long term strategy in order to harness the untapped potential of healthcare delivery in Emerging Economies.

This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrating Social Care into the Delivery of Health Care: Moving Upstream to Improve the Nation's Health was released in September 2019, before the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic in March 2020. Improving social conditions remains critical to improving health outcomes, and integrating social care into health care delivery is more relevant than ever in the context of the pandemic and increased strains placed on the U.S. health care system. The report and its related products ultimately aim to help improve health and health equity, during COVID-19 and beyond. The consistent and compelling evidence on how social determinants shape health has led to a growing recognition throughout the health care sector that improving health and health equity is likely to depend â€" at least in part â€" on mitigating adverse social determinants. This recognition has been bolstered by a shift in the health care sector towards value-based payment, which incentivizes improved health outcomes for persons and populations rather than service delivery alone. The combined result of these changes has been a growing emphasis on health care systems addressing patients' social risk factors and social needs with the aim of improving health outcomes. This may involve health care systems linking individual patients with government and community social services, but important questions need to be answered about when and how health care systems should integrate social care into their practices and what kinds of infrastructure are required to facilitate such activities. Integrating Social Care into the Delivery of Health Care: Moving Upstream to Improve the Nation's Health examines the potential for integrating services addressing social needs and the social determinants of health into the delivery of health care to achieve better health outcomes. This report assesses approaches to social care integration currently being taken by health care providers and systems, and new or emerging approaches and opportunities; current roles in such integration by different disciplines and organizations, and new or emerging roles and types of providers; and current and emerging efforts to design health care systems to improve the nation's health and reduce health inequities.

Book excerpt: The process of moving research insights into clinical practice can be slow and a gap often remains between best practices, frequently developed within single sites or small populations, and general practice delivered at a population scale. The field of implementation science seeks to mend this gap by promoting the adoption and appropriate use of effective interventions, practices, and programs, which includes the study of scale-up and spread of innovations. While hard-to-engage sites may have unique characteristics from sites that are engaged quickly or earlier, they are not typically differentiated in scale-up and spread processes. Thus, there is a lack of information about hard-to-engage sites and how to tailor approaches to these sites in scale-up and spread efforts. The objective of this project is to use systematic review and qualitative interview methods together to understand strategies available to scale up and spread clinical and administrative practices across large healthcare systems such as the VHA, with a focus on "hard-to-engage" sites.
Download or read book Scaling Up Health Services Delivery for Bottom of the Pyramid Populations in Lower and Middle Income Countries written by Ramanjeet Sohal and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context: While there have been many successful global health pilots and initiatives that have been implemented, often organizations struggle to scale interventions that have proven efficacy and effectiveness. Within the global health literature, there are limited studies that examine the strategies health services organizations employ to advance delivery for disadvantaged populations in lower-and-middle-income countries. Objectives: The objectives of this thesis are three-fold. First, the thesis provides in-depth case study analysis of an organization that has successfully scaled its operations for the bottom of the pyramid populations in multiple countries in Africa. Second, the thesis analyzes strategies private sector organizations use to achieve scale in lower-and-middle-income countries. Third, the thesis illustrates how value chain integration strategy advances scale up of health services delivery in resource-poor settings. Design: We use a qualitative research methodology to provide rich nuance about empirical phenomena by extending prior research on scaling up health services delivery and applying strategic management frameworks to analyze the phenomenon. While we predominantly employ qualitative case study methodology, we supplement our analysis using exploratory statistical analysis. Results: Many health services organizations operating in lower-and-middle-income country contexts struggle to achieve goals of scale, sustainability and inclusion. Using value chain integration as a framing logic, this research demonstrates that organizations should not try to do everything themselves, especially activities where other actors in the ecosystem have superior skills and positions. We identify three main mechanisms for using value chain integration strategy to scale up health services delivery: identifying mutual dependency with partners, creating an efficiency core and building a strong set of four types of management skills, including financial skill, quality management, supply chain management, and client relationships. Conclusion: The novel contribution of this thesis emerges from the use of a strategic management conceptual framework (i.e., value chain integration) to analyze a health services research context and problem (i.e., health care delivery by an NGO in Africa). Further mixed-methods research, which includes disconfirming or negative case sampling, is needed to examine whether and how health services organizations in resource-constrained environments deploy value chain integration strategies to achieve expansion and deliver services to disadvantaged populations.
Download or read book Innovating Healthcare Systems for Emerging Economies written by Abhishek Ekka and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's world, more globalized than ever, emerging markets are fueling two thirds of the world's corporate revenue growth. Across the developing world, where demand exceeds supply, people increasingly rely on private health care organizations to address their health needs. While demand for affordable and quality care continues to rise on one side, on supply side the cost of care is increasing particularly due to human resource cost, infrastructure cost, drugs, medical devices, logistics cost etc. Hence healthcare service delivery in emerging economies comes with great contradictions: that despite being fast growing economies, healthcare remains unaffordable to the large chunk of its population particularly for patients belonging to the bottom of the pyramid (BoP). Thus the modern healthcare systems are missing out on the "Uncaptured Potential" of the Emerging Markets. In order to offer affordable healthcare to its citizens the developing countries face many challenges, primarily qualified manpower at different levels and their willingness to work in remote as well as smaller cities and towns. These countries also face constraints with traditional government system, fast growing private sector and lack of financial support for its citizens.

Book excerpt: Wall Street Journal Bestseller "The pick of 2014's management books." –Andrew Hill, Financial Times "One of the top business books of the year." –Harvey Schacter, The Globe and Mail Bestselling author, Robert Sutton and Stanford colleague, Huggy Rao tackle a challenge that determines every organization’s success: how to scale up farther, faster, and more effectively as an organization grows. Sutton and Rao have devoted much of the last decade to uncovering what it takes to build and uncover pockets of exemplary performance, to help spread them, and to keep recharging organizations with ever better work practices. Drawing on inside accounts and case studies and academic research from a wealth of industries-- including start-ups, pharmaceuticals, airlines, retail, financial services, high-tech, education, non-profits, government, and healthcare-- Sutton and Rao identify the key scaling challenges that confront every organization. They tackle the difficult trade-offs that organizations must make between whether to encourage individualized approaches tailored to local needs or to replicate the same practices and customs as an organization or program expands. They reveal how the best leaders and teams develop, spread, and instill the right mindsets in their people-- rather than ruining or watering down the very things that have fueled successful growth in the past. They unpack the principles that help to cascade excellence throughout an organization, as well as show how to eliminate destructive beliefs and behaviors that will hold them back. Scaling Up Excellence is the first major business book devoted to this universal and vexing challenge and it is destined to become the standard bearer in the field.
