Their universal health care system is based on the principles of Bismark, which say that the state should provide only for those unable to provide for themselves. It’s a private insurance system, and it’s the topic of this powerpoint
The German healthcare system is a universal multi-payer system that provides coverage for all citizens and permanent residents. It is funded through statutory health insurance contributions that are paid by both employees and employers. Around 86% of the population is covered through the statutory health insurance system, while the remaining 11% have private health insurance. The system is based on principles of solidarity and subsidiarity. It provides coverage for a wide range of medical services and has consistently delivered a very high quality of care, though costs have increased and reforms have sought to control spending while maintaining standards.
- Germany has a decentralized healthcare system that is divided into outpatient, inpatient, and rehabilitation facilities. It is based on compulsory public insurance, funding from premiums, solidarity between members, and self-governance of institutions.
- The system is shared between national and state governments, with self-governing bodies delegated significant power. It provides universal coverage for a wide range of benefits and free choice of providers.
- While Germany's system has high capacity and benefits at relatively low costs, challenges remain in improving quality of care and reducing inequalities between public and private insurance.
Germany has a reputation for having one of the best healthcare systems in the world. Approximately 85% of the population are mandatory or voluntary members of the public health scheme, while the rest have private health insurance. Since 2009, all German residents must have either state or private health insurance. Germans receive three mandatory benefits - health insurance, accident insurance, and long-term care insurance, which are co-financed by employers and employees. There are two main types of health insurance - public insurance and private insurance.
The document provides an overview of the German healthcare system. It describes how the system is based on both public and private insurance, with public insurance covering around 88% of the population. Public insurance is funded through income-related contributions from employers and employees. The system aims to provide equal coverage to all citizens regardless of income or age. It covers a wide range of medical services and utilizes various strategies to ensure quality of care and reduce disparities.
Australia has a mainly tax-funded health care system, with medical services subsidized through a universal national health insurance scheme.
some review about it.
Value-based healthcare in Germany: From free price-setting to a regulated market is a report by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), commissioned by Gilead Sciences. It looks at the evolution of health technology assessment and pharmaceutical pricing reform in Germany and examines the new focus on providers and health outcomes
This document discusses health care financing in India. It defines health care financing as mobilizing and allocating funds for specific health services and payment mechanisms. India relies heavily on private out-of-pocket spending for health care, with only about 10% having health insurance. Major challenges include linking insurance to employment when most work is informal, and excluding many poor from coverage. Community-based financing models show promise in providing social inclusion and financial protection. The conclusion calls for recognizing the role of health economists and addressing health financing within broader governance, economic, educational, and social contexts.
The document discusses health sector reforms in India. It provides context on the need for reforms due to fiscal constraints and poor social indicators. Key reforms introduced include decentralization, increasing human resources, financial reforms, reorganizing the existing health system, improving health management information systems, increasing community involvement, and ensuring quality. National initiatives like the National Rural Health Mission aim to promote equity, efficiency, quality and accountability in primary healthcare. The overall goal of health sector reforms is to improve access to healthcare and ultimately population health outcomes.

(block posting lecture presented to final year medical class of University of Port Harcourt on thursday 31/05/18)
The document provides a comparison of the healthcare systems of Japan and the United States. Japan has universal healthcare coverage that provides equal access to benefits for all citizens while controlling costs. The U.S. system views healthcare as a privilege, and many Americans are uninsured or cannot afford care. Japan has lower costs for procedures, appointments, and prescriptions than the U.S. Both systems have strengths, such as the U.S. providing high quality care and Japan providing universal coverage and cost controls, but also weaknesses like the U.S. having many uninsured and high costs and Japan having long hospital stays and overuse of services.
Attended a meeting of the Los Angeles Healthcare Coalition in March 2014. Presented by Ibrahim Sankara, a French healthcare economist currently working with the UCLA School of Medicine. He presented a myriad of facts, and had a wealth of information beyond this document that facilitated a dynamic discussion of how the single-payor healthcare system in France was designed to truly serve all health needs of both citizens and non-citizens alike.
Japan has a universal healthcare system that aims to provide affordable care to all. The government regulates medical fees to keep costs low for patients, who pay between 10-30% of fees out-of-pocket depending on income. Japan has seen tremendous growth in life expectancy over the last 50 years due to economic growth and public health programs like mass cancer screenings. The healthcare system is financed through a mix of public health insurance programs and is characterized by universal coverage and equal access to care.
The Nigerian health system is pluralistic, including orthodox, alternative, and traditional systems. Healthcare is administered through three tiers - primary run by local government, secondary by state government, and tertiary by the federal government. Nigeria has a large stock of health workers, but faces many health challenges like malaria, HIV/AIDS, and lacks adequate sanitation and access to clean water. Healthcare is financed through taxes, out-of-pocket payments, donors, and health insurance though coverage of the National Health Insurance Scheme remains low, only covering formal sector employees.
This presentation is compiled from several sources and summarizes the health care system in Europe. Some of the information could be outdated and readers are encouraged to follow recent updates as well.
The Australian healthcare system provides a wide range of services, from population health and prevention through to general practice and community health; emergency health services and hospital care; and rehabilitation and palliative care.
The document discusses the challenges facing healthcare in developing countries such as India, including a growing population that is straining resources, a high burden of infectious and chronic diseases, and inequities in access and health outcomes between rich and poor. It outlines strategies to address these issues, such as improving vaccination coverage, implementing cost-effective public health programs, promoting preventive healthcare and healthy lifestyles, and strengthening existing health infrastructure through greater funding and inclusion of stakeholders. Overall, the document analyzes the current state of healthcare in developing nations and proposes approaches to enhance healthcare systems and population health.
This document discusses health care financing. It begins by defining key terms related to health care financing sources, including public expenditures, external aid, and private expenditures. It then outlines the main mechanisms of health care financing: general revenue, social insurance contributions, private insurance premiums, community financing, and direct out-of-pocket payments. For each mechanism, it provides a brief definition and description. The document concludes by stating that the role of health financing should be recognized, that it cannot be dealt with separately from other factors like governance and economic growth, and that governments need to actively participate to avoid market failures.
The document discusses health workforce management and outlines several key points for effective management. It emphasizes that people are not things and teamwork is important for achieving goals. Good leadership, communication, training, and supervision are essential for a high performing team. Conflicts will inevitably arise but should not interfere with work. The document provides guidance on leading teams, including setting objectives, motivating staff, delegating tasks, and adapting supervision styles. It also discusses organizing team activities through job descriptions, norms, coordination, and meetings. Effective management of health workers and teams is important for delivering quality healthcare.
The US spends more on healthcare than any other country, reaching $2.7 trillion in 2011 or $8,680 per person, while UK spending was 142.8 billion pounds or 9.4% of GDP. In the US, most receive insurance through employers or private purchase, while 31% use public insurance and 16% are uninsured. In contrast, UK citizens receive universal public healthcare through taxation. While the US spends more, it has lower life expectancy and poorer health outcomes than other wealthy nations, including the UK which was rated as having the most efficient and cost-effective system. The data shows clear differences between the privately-run US system and the government-run UK system.
The document summarizes a presentation on comparing the US healthcare system to other countries. It begins with defining terms like OECD, healthcare systems, and analytic methods. It then discusses the evolution of healthcare systems in OECD countries after World War II, with European nations adopting universal coverage through national systems while the US relied on employer subsidies. The presentation outlines different healthcare models - National Health Service, National Health Insurance, and mixed private/public systems - and provides examples from countries like the UK, which has a National Health Service funded mainly through taxes.

Japan has a universal healthcare system that focuses on providing coverage to all citizens. The system is paid for through taxes, payroll deductions, and co-payments. This approach aims to provide equitable access to care regardless of economic status. While Japan has lower costs, longer lifespans and better health outcomes than the U.S., its system also faces challenges around overuse of services and lack of long-term care options. The U.S. system provides high-quality care to those who can pay but leaves many uninsured and has higher costs than other countries with less effective outcomes. Both countries could improve their systems by adopting some policies from each other to increase access and reduce costs.
- Government health spending in India is very low at just over 1% of GDP, well below what is needed to meet the country's health needs. This has forced many people to rely on private healthcare, leading to high out-of-pocket costs that push many into poverty.
- Reforms are needed such as increasing public health spending to 3-5% of GDP, regulating the private sector, and implementing a universal health coverage program. However, challenges remain due to India's large population, infrastructure weaknesses, and need to balance fiscal priorities.
- Initiatives have been launched such as the National Rural Health Mission and health insurance programs, but more focus is needed on primary care, community participation, and direct

The document compares healthcare systems in several countries including Canada, France, Germany, the UK, and the US. Some key points of comparison are:
- Canada has a single-payer universal healthcare system funded through taxation. Each province administers its own plan.
- France has a hybrid public-private system where the government pays about 80% of costs and private insurance covers the rest.
- Germany has a social insurance model where citizens purchase insurance from nonprofit sickness funds based on income.
- The UK has a socialized system where the tax-funded National Health Service provides public coverage and options.
- The US has a mixed system with public options like Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance.
The document discusses how the Affordable Care Act aims to address problems in the US healthcare system like the large number of uninsured, rising costs, and quality and access issues. It will expand coverage to 32 million uninsured through Medicaid expansion and health insurance exchanges. Reforms to payment and delivery systems are also expected to help slow premium growth and reduce costs over time. Implementation will occur gradually through 2019, with many provisions taking effect in 2014 such as the individual mandate, Medicaid expansion, and state-based insurance exchanges.

The document introduces and explains the flexi fare system recently implemented on premier trains like Rajdhani, Duronto, and Shatabdi trains in India. Key points of the new system include dynamic pricing where fares increase by 10% increments as berths are booked, with the highest fares being 50% more than the base fare. The system aims to generate an additional Rs. 500 crore in revenue for the railways. Initial response has been positive, with a 30% booking rate and additional revenues of Rs. 84-81 lakh generated on the first two days of the new system.
The document summarizes the complex US healthcare system, which combines elements of different models. It discusses the major public programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP, as well as private insurance. While healthcare spending per capita is the highest in the US, the outcomes are lower than other developed countries. The US system is characterized by multiple payers and private insurers, and administrative costs are high. Finding solutions may require reexamining the underlying philosophy of the US healthcare system.
This document provides an overview of the history of healthcare in the United States and summarizes key aspects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare). It discusses the impact of the ACA on individuals, businesses, and taxes. Alternatives to the ACA proposed by Democrats and Republicans are also outlined. The conclusion emphasizes that implementing the ACA relies heavily on internet use and accurate calculation of subsidies, and questions whether young healthy people can afford coverage under the exchanges.

Canada's imagine nation challenges to improve healthcare jennifer zelmeropengovpartnership
Canada's ImagineNation Challenges aimed to improve healthcare through prizes that recognize excellence and stimulate innovation using information technology. The goals were to identify, trial, and spread novel innovations to deliver value for clinicians and patients, while fostering a community of innovators. The approach involved broad engagement through innovation challenges with prizes, supported by other organizations. The initial Ideas Challenge saw good uptake across Canada with diverse ideas ranked highly. It generated positive feedback and lessons to inform future challenges. This led to the Outcomes Challenge providing over $1 million in awards to early adopters and solutions with the most growth in four focus areas like online appointments.
The document discusses key aspects of Canada's universal healthcare system. It notes that Canadians access healthcare by obtaining a provincial health card, which allows them to visit physicians and healthcare providers without deductibles. The system is funded through taxes at both the federal and provincial levels. While Canadians generally have access to doctors and report satisfaction with the care received, some do experience waits for primary care appointments or in emergency departments. The Canadian system differs from that of the U.S. in its public funding and universal coverage of all residents.
This document discusses the importance of preanesthetic evaluation by an anesthesiologist. It aims to ensure patients can safely tolerate anesthesia and mitigate perioperative risks. Key components include documenting medical history, performing examinations, optimizing conditions, ordering tests selectively, and discussing care. History taking and physical exams detect most issues. Tests are only needed based on history, procedure, and anticipated blood loss. The evaluation helps determine a patient's fitness and perioperative risk level. Medication management and fasting guidelines are also reviewed.

It outlines the goals of each policy, such as eradicating polio and other diseases, reducing mortality from tuberculosis, and increasing access to healthcare facilities. It also discusses the National Nutrition Policy and National Education Policy of India.
This document discusses several key concepts related to health policy:
1. It identifies prerequisites for health such as peace, shelter, education, food, income, and environmental sustainability.
2. It outlines five areas for building healthy public policy: building healthy environments, strengthening communities, developing personal skills, reorienting healthcare services, and advocating for these changes.
3. It discusses prevention strategies starting from changing social and environmental risk factors and continuing support for at-risk groups. Prevention strategies are amenable to policy changes.
This document provides an overview of India's health care system and the major health issues facing the country. It describes the key components of the health care system including primary health centers, community health centers, hospitals, and national health programs. It also outlines the major health problems in India such as communicable diseases, nutritional problems, environmental sanitation issues, and medical care access issues. The document then discusses the various levels of the health care delivery system from the village level up to primary health centers, community health centers, and hospitals.
The document summarizes Germany's social insurance system, including its history and present situation. It discusses the five main parts of social insurance - health, nursing care, unemployment, pension, and accident insurance. It provides details on contribution rates, benefits provided, and how the system is financed. The document also briefly compares social insurance systems in other countries and considers future prospects for Germany's system.
The document discusses the Indian healthcare sector. It notes that healthcare is one of India's largest sectors in terms of revenue and employment. The private sector accounts for over 80% of healthcare spending. The sector is projected to grow to $40 billion this year. An aging population and expanding middle class represent opportunities for growth. However, physical infrastructure and the number of public health facilities are inadequate. The government uses price controls to improve drug affordability. [END SUMMARY]

Optimal health refers to an individual's physical, emotional, and mental well-being and their ability to achieve personal health goals. Chronic conditions are long-lasting medical issues that can be managed but not cured, and they are the leading cause of death and disability in the U.S. Maintaining optimal health through good nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle habits can help prevent chronic conditions and allow those with chronic conditions to experience fewer symptoms and a lower risk of additional health issues. However, adapting new health behaviors requires commitment over the long-term.
Shock is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body is not getting enough blood flow. The Lack of blood flow means that the cells and organs do not get enough oxygen and nutrients to function properly. Multiple organs can suffer damage as a result
This document provides information on Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder. It discusses skepticism around DID and explains that dissociation exists on a spectrum from mild daydreaming to more severe identity fragmentation. The document outlines characteristics of DID like disturbances in identity, existence of distinct alters, and types of relationships between alters. Causes like childhood trauma and abuse are explored, as are popular portrayals of DID in films and books. Assessment tools, integration in therapy, and two case studies of individuals with DID are summarized.
This document discusses coronary artery disease (CAD) and its treatment through angiography. CAD is caused by a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries that supply the heart with blood. When plaque builds up, it reduces blood flow to the heart and can cause chest pain known as angina. Angiography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the blood vessels by injecting contrast dye and taking X-rays. It is commonly used to diagnose and develop treatment plans for patients with CAD. The document then provides details on a nursing care plan for managing acute chest pain, one of the most common symptoms of CAD seen in hospitals. The plan includes assessing pain levels, providing comfort measures, administering medications, and educating the patient
A colostomy is a surgical procedure that brings part of the large intestine out through an opening in the abdominal wall. It may be temporary or permanent and is usually performed after bowel surgery or injury. Different types of colostomies include colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies, which are named based on where in the digestive tract the opening is created. Proper care and maintenance of a colostomy involves cleaning the skin around the stoma with wipes, checking it regularly with a mirror, and applying new appliances securely.
