Creating Systems (Healthcare Transformation Book 1)

0/5 ( ratings)

The horizontal arrangement of healthcare into primary, secondary and tertiary care is no longer useful or fiscally prudent. We must move from a service in which institutions are the dominant type or organisation to one in which systems dominate.

A 'system' is a set of activities integrated by a common set of objectives.
A 'network' is a set of individuals and organisations that deliver the system's objectives.
A 'pathway' is the route that patients usually follow through the network.

The core business of healthcare consists of symptoms such as chest pain, and conditions such as epilepsy, bipolar disorder, or asthma. A systems approach to healthcare recognises the vital importance of self-care and informal care in the management of such symptoms. It also provides a tool to ensure that the right patients access the right care, and that the care is delivered right. A systems approach can answer the currently unanswerable question: 'Are we - as patients, payers, or clinicians - getting maximum value from the resources invested in our core businesses?'

Creating Systems will also provide you with answers to such questions as:
1. What are health systems, and how are they built?
2. Why are they important?
3. How are they best managed?
4. How do systems fit in?
