Submitted by: Khim Margarette B. Dionisio

OBJECTIVES:

▪ to describe the institutional framework, the process, content and implementation of health care delivery system;

▪ to know the importance of nursing informatics in the Philippine Health Care Delivery System.

▪ To be able to broaden our knowledge in Nursing Informatics.

 THE PHILIPPINE HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM

▪ HEALTH CARE SYSTEM- an organized plan of health services (Miller-Keane, 1987)

▪ HEALTH CARE DELIVERY- rendering health care services to the people (Williams-Tungpalan, 1981).

THE PHILIPPINE HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM

▪ PHILIPPINE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM- is a complex set of organizations interacting to provide an arrayof health services (Dizon, 1977).

▪ HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM (Williams-Tungpalan, 1981)

- the network of health facilities and personnel which carries out the task of rendering health care to the people.

COMPONENTS OF THE HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM

▪ The Department of Health Mandate:- The Department of Health shall be responsible for the following:▪ formulation and development of national health policies, guidelines,

standards and manual of operations for health services and programs;

▪ promulgation of national health standards, goals, priorities and indicators.

▪ development of special health programs and projects and advocacy for legislation on health policies and programs.

- The primary function of the Department of Health is the promotion, protection, preservation or restoration of the health of the people through the provision and delivery of health services and through the regulation and encouragement of providers of health goods and services (E.O. No. 119, Sec. 3)

COMPONENTS OF THE HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM

WHO 6 Building Blocks of Health Systems

▪ A health system consists of all organizations, people and actions whose primary interest is to promote, restore or maintain health. This can be analysed in its totality by using different groups or blocks. The six building blocks are enumerated below. (WHO, 2010)

▪ Good health services are those which deliver effective, safe, quality personal and non-personal health interventions to those who need them, when and where needed, with minimum waste of resources. (WHO, 2010)

WHO 6 Building Blocks of Health Systems

Link to Health Services - A well-performing health workforce is one which works in ways that are responsive, fair and efficient to achieve the best health outcomes possible, given available resources and circumstances. I.e. There are sufficient numbers and mix of staff, fairly distributed; they are competent, responsive and productive. (WHO, 2010)

WHO 6 Building Blocks of Health Systems

Link to Health Workforce - A well-functioning health information system is one that ensures the production, analysis, dissemination and use of reliable and timely information on health determinants, health systems performance and health status. (WHO, 2010)

WHO 6 Building Blocks of Health Systems

Link to Health Information - A well-functioning health system ensures equitable access to essential medical products , vaccines and technologies of assured quality, safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness, and their scientifically sound and cost-effective use. (WHO, 2010)

WHO 6 Building Blocks of Health Systems

Link to Essential Medicines - A good health financing system raises adequate funds for health, in ways that ensure people can use needed services, and are protected from financial catastrophe or impoverishment associated with having to pay for them. (WHO, 2010)

WHO 6 Building Blocks of Health Systems

Link to Health financing - Leadership and governance involves ensuring strategic policy frameworks exist and are combined with effective oversight, coalition-building, the provision of appropriate regulations and incentives, attention to system-design, and accountability.

WHO 6 Building Blocks of Health Systems

Link to Governance - Leadership and governance involve ensuring strategic policy frameworks exist and are combined with effective oversight, coalition-building, regulation, attention to system-design and accountability.In the context of health governance (or stewardship) refers to the wide range of functions carried out by governments to improve population health while ensuring equity in access to services, quality of services, and patients' rights. Governance is also concerned with the roles and responsibilities of the public, private and voluntary sectors - including civil society - and their relationships with each other in pursuit of national health goals. (WHO, 2010)

Application of Health Delivery System

- Rising costs, aging and growing populations, and increasing competition for funds and resources are shifting the focus of health care delivery and management from the individual patient to the patient population. This change calls for more effective targeting of patients, more efficient assessment of needs and delivery of services, and better use of information technologies to improve population health.

(D.M. Oleske, 2009)

Application of Health Delivery System

The new Third Edition of Epidemiology and the Delivery of Health Care Services is one of the most complete and authoritative works on the subject, brimming with case studies, graphics, action lists, and learning outcomes for ease of understanding. The book’s in-depth epidemiologic framework begins with the basics (defining problems, collecting reliable data, assessing risks), moves on to offer innovative and seasoned techniques for research and service delivery, and covers a wealth of salient issues, including:

(D.M. Oleske, 2009)

Application of Health Delivery System

▪ The impact of epidemiology on public health policy.▪ Epidemiology as an essential element of infection prevention and

control.▪ Data sources with implications for population-based health services

planning and evaluation.▪ Epidemiology as a driver of quality health care.▪ Screening and surveillance in health promotion.▪ Epidemiology as a means of fostering patient safety.▪ Health service strategies for reducing epidemiologically identified

environmental health risks. (D.M. Oleske, 2009)
