Delivery Models

Whether in our professional or private lives, we are all aware of the system wide efforts to provide quality healthcare services while containing the costs. Telemedicine as a method of service delivery has expanded as a result of changes in reimbursement and service delivery models. The growth and sustainability of telehealth within speech-language pathology and audiology, like any other service, depends on the ability to be reimbursed for services provided. Currently, reimbursement for services delivered via telehealth is variable and depends on numerous factors. An understanding of these factors and a willingness to advocate for increased reimbursement can bolster the success of practitioners interested in the telehealth as a service delivery method.

Quality healthcare delivery is the bedrock to exponentially accelerate the development of a country. Unfortunately, in Pakistan healthcare has been neglected since a long time, with the common man bearing the brunt of this acute situation. There are critical challenges in health care, with paucity of trained human resource and deficit of regulated infrastructure and service delivery being the predominant dilemmas. Primary and secondary healthcare are in an unseemly state, to say the least. Maternal and child health care, accident, and emergency departments and mental health are among the most undermined and forsaken areas of healthcare, primarily in the far flung Gilgit Baltistan region of Pakistan. The only way forward is if the political regime, administration and the medical personnel work in concurrence to revise the health infrastructure of the country.

In the present environment of staggering technical innovations and increasing expectations of quality healthcare it is evident that we need to fine tune our diagnostic abilities in order to fulfil patients� demands for more efficient therapies and augmented quality of life. We are looking for current trends in clinical gynecology that make use of Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy, technology not yet employed in Romanian laboratories for the clinical practice but that is rapidly becoming the worldwide method of choice for accurate characterization of the hormonal milieu essential for the requirements of women healthcare.

The increasing number of patients receiving home respiratory therapy (HRT) is imposing a major impact on routine clinical care and healthcare system sustainability. The current challenge is to continue to guarantee access to HRT while maintaining the quality of care. The patient experience is a cornerstone of high-quality healthcare and an emergent area of clinical research. This review approaches the assessment of the patient experience in the context of HRT while highlighting the European contribution to this body of knowledge. This review demonstrates that research in this area is still limited, with no example of a prescription model that incorporates the patient experience as an outcome and no specific patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) available. This work also shows that Europe is leading the research on HRT provision. The development of a specific PREM and the integration of PREMs into the assessment of prescription models should be clinical research priorities in the next several years.

India’s medical service industry is an emerging force in Southeast Asia, which should be recognized. A large portion of the country’s GDP is being earned through this sector. Paradoxically, India’s rural sphere has always been highly deprived of medical facilities even in rudimentary level. This huge imbalance was previously an issue for India to reach to a footing through innovation. India still being a developing country has majority of people living in rural areas where quality healthcare is not only difficult to avail but sometimes even hard to access. In such circumstances, an initiative like Lifeline Express (LLE) has provided the people with access to quality healthcare which has been crucially needed. It is a very simple idea but incredibly complex in terms of execution throughout the whole region. The LLE is a hospital which moves throughout rural India in a form of a fully equipped train. Since 1991, this initiative in India has generated some commendable projects through which it has served many rural Indians. Through this case, it will be comprehensible of how the train and the medical team function and will show the limitations and challenges healthcare in India is facing and how LLE has proved its fantastic ability to fight with the constraints and make healthcare reach the doorsteps of the rural people. Despite the challenges and limitations, it is also been revealed how the journey of LLE has grown from a three-coach train to seven-coach train where patients get treatment of many diseases from the early 1990s to this day.

AbstractData transfer has been forced to evolve as digital technologies are implemented throughout various aspects of the healthcare system. Despite the uniqueness of both the geography and the population of Queensland, information exchange and data communication has continued to follow this evolutionary trend. There have been a number of different health reforms designed to integrate digital innovations and allow critical data and information to be shared with the appropriate health professionals when necessary. Strict healthcare legislation has been navigated and to provide newly upgraded technologies and processes while maintaining privacy, confidentiality and security standards. A large portion of the digital revolution has been the implementation of the national run project, the My Health Record and the state run project, the Integrated Electronic Medical Record. Both are platforms that allow secure information exchange allowing patients to have improved quality of care. To maintain the steady progress, both the state and federal governments have developed strategies and visions to help provide guidance and direct for ongoing and future digital projects. They also outline areas that require further advancements to ensure Queensland is delivering equitable, high quality healthcare.

Abstract Background The Regional Internship (RI) is an extension project provided by the Federal University of Santa Maria (Brazil) that gives the medicine students a real experience of how the Primary Health Care (PHC) works, offering them a chance to grow as professionals, gaining self-trust and autonomy while being supervised by the preceptors. The cities where the program operates are small and they suffer with lack of high-quality healthcare professionals, which makes this internship also important for these communities. Worldwide, mainly in developing countries, the deficiency of proper PHC is a problem that can be attenuated by this proposal of introducing updated doctors eager to improve their skills and benefit the society. Objective The aim of the present study is to report, through the interns' exposition, how the internship was capable of contributing for the life and formation of the medicine student. Results Based on an extension project that gives the students an opportunity of a more embracing experience with the community, it is possible to notice the importance of the extension on the curricular complementation. Moreover, with the interaction between students and community, the knowledge exchange and the experience with different cultures benefit and contribute to the medical formation of these students, as well as in the population health context. Conclusions This is a part of the portfolio delivered by an academic: 'At the end of the two months of Regional Internship I have the sensation of mission accomplished and satisfaction. The experience offered by this phase of the course is incomparable, I feel more secure, more autonomous, it's like the growth that was in a constant acceleration before now suffered an exponential improve.' Key messages The benefits of Regional Internship cannot be evaluated only by quantitative indicators, but also by the individual experiences lived by interns, preceptors and a general community. After the internship period, academics conclude that they feel more confident and encouraged to face the challenges of medical life.
