DESIGNING HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS

Important Dates

Welcome to 2016 - OrlandoSDPSWHAT IS DESIGNING HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS?

“A system is a set of resources that are organized to perform des-ignated functions in order to achieve desired outcomes, Health care systems use many types of resources, organized to accom-plish a wide variety of outcomes. Four components of a health care delivery system are germane to the success for optimizing the resources: 1) the environmental and contextual factors, 2) the availability of resources and access to them, 3) the design of health care organizations or facilities, and 4) metrics to as-sess and monitor health care outcomes, population health and provider performance.”
