The original aims of the UK's National Health Service were to provide universal healthcare that was free at the point of use, financed collectively through taxes and national insurance, and comprehensive from cradle to grave. While the NHS has increased life expectancy and access to services, it has only partially achieved its aims as regional differences remain, social class gaps in health persist, and waiting lists require prioritizing access to care.

Digital Programme Update; Child Health and Maternity Services
The document discusses plans for a digital child health program in the UK. It aims to (1) provide appropriate access to child health information for all involved in children's care, (2) introduce basic digital capabilities like interoperability between health records and personal health records, and (3) overcome current challenges like paper-based records and fragmented information across different systems. The program will start by standardizing a core set of 33 health events that can be exchanged between key systems like maternity records, child health records, and personal health records. This will lay the foundation for gradually expanding the scope and sophistication of digital child health services in subsequent years.
Academic Health Science Networks supporting strategic commissioning
Dr Liz Mear, Chief Executive of the Innovation Agency, presented at NHS Confed 17 on Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) supporting strategic commissioning and bringing innovators, commissioners, clinicians and patients to together to develop closer collaboration and a demonstrably clearer understanding of NHS needs and opportunities.
Healthy.io - ECO 19: Care closer to home
The document discusses smartphone-enabled home testing of albumin levels using a kit from Healthy.io to screen for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Over 1 million people in the UK have undiagnosed CKD. Home testing can reduce health inequalities by enabling more accessible screening, especially in hard-to-reach populations who often miss clinic-based screening. A pilot program using Healthy.io's home testing with 499 patients found 11% had previously undiagnosed albuminuria, 72% completed the home test, and 96% preferred home testing over clinic visits. An economic model found that testing just 30% of previously untested high-risk patients over 5 years could save over £209 million
ECO 12: The remote care of mental health patients

Telehealth Secrets 2019: Lessons from Single Payer System - Dawniela Hightowe...
This document compares telehealth models in Canada and the US. Canada has adopted telehealth more widely due to its publicly-funded healthcare system, with close to 500,000 annual telehealth events. Telehealth is used primarily for specialty care follow-ups and chronic disease management. The Canadian model shows telehealth can reduce barriers to access, travel costs and wait times when reimbursement is not the main driver. While Canada lags in patient-driven telehealth, the US model may converge with more specialty-initiated telehealth and on-demand consults as reimbursement models evolve.
ROC self management
The document describes ROC, a digital health platform that provides remote and self-management support for patients with chronic conditions like IBD, cancer, and mental health issues. It allows patients to track symptoms and receive personalized advice, while also keeping clinicians updated. The platform aims to enable needs-based care rather than clinic-based care. It uses artificial intelligence to analyze patient-reported data and recommend self-management resources, integrate with NHS systems, and provide feedback to improve patient outcomes and experiences.

M. Samir Qamar PAFP Direct Primary Care Discussion
This document discusses direct primary care (DPC), a model of healthcare delivery where patients pay doctors a monthly fee in exchange for basic medical services. It outlines several benefits of DPC including increased efficiency, revenue, and patient satisfaction as well as enhanced work-life balance for doctors. The document also notes that DPC is gaining traction due to factors like the Affordable Care Act and is recognized in the laws of several states either through formal legislation or guidelines.
Telehealth Secrets 2019: Tyranny of Proximity in Healthcare Choice - Reed Mol...
The document discusses the "tyranny of proximity" in healthcare, where physical proximity is the primary factor in how patients select doctors and clinics. This puts stress on local health systems and limits choice. Telehealth has potential to alleviate challenges by allowing patients to choose from providers across states. However, telehealth also faces adoption challenges. The document argues that overcoming these challenges requires effort across the healthcare ecosystem to promote virtual visits by providers, payors developing integrated experiences, and consumer sites prioritizing virtual visits. Doctor.com and VSee are working on integration to help achieve these goals and increase telehealth adoption.

Nurse practitioners are expected to dramatically increase in number by 2025 to help address the growing need for primary healthcare providers. Currently there are over 222,000 nurse practitioners in the United States, and this number is projected to grow to over 244,000 by 2025. Over 80% of nurse practitioners receive training in primary care, making them well suited to address healthcare needs. As the population ages and gains insurance coverage, nurse practitioners are poised to help millions more Americans access affordable healthcare.

This document discusses the high level of co-morbidity between physical and mental health conditions. It notes that 4.6 million people in the UK have both a long-term physical illness and mental health condition, costing the NHS £10 billion per year. Integrating physical and mental health support can lead to reduced costs, hospital admissions, and length of stays. Examples are given of successful integrated programs that have improved outcomes and reduced costs for patients with conditions like COPD. Overall, the document argues that better integration of physical and mental healthcare is needed to improve outcomes and reduce the high costs of treating co-morbid conditions separately.
Jsna presentation for vsc 8032011
The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) identifies current and future health and wellbeing needs in a local population based on existing services and evidence of effectiveness. It provides a comprehensive picture of needs and inequalities. The JSNA involves project boards and is intended to be accessible, user-friendly, and linked to strategic initiatives and feedback. It produces executive summaries, key priorities, findings, and detailed reports for professional and strategic planning. Local developments since 2009 include refreshing core datasets and adding new chapters. In the future, GP consortia and local authorities will have a shared obligation to prepare the JSNA through health and wellbeing boards to understand needs and agree shared priorities and strategies across organizations.

- Many health and social care services in England provide good quality care, despite challenges, but substantial variation remains. 71% of adult social care and 83% of GP practices were rated good, though some receive poor care.
- Some services are improving, but others are failing to improve or experiencing deterioration. Almost half of services rated "requires improvement" did not change after re-inspection.
- Demand is unprecedented due to an aging population with complex needs, stretching budgets. By 2015/16, NHS providers overspent £2.45 billion and councils spent £168 million more than planned.
- Adult social care sustainability may be reaching a tipping point, affecting hospitals through more emergency admissions and delayed discharges

Public attitudes to the NHS
The document summarizes findings from the British Social Attitudes survey, an annual survey of 3000 British adults, on public attitudes towards the NHS. Key findings include:
- Nearly 9 in 10 respondents agreed that the government should support a national health system that is tax-funded, free at the point of use, and provides comprehensive care for all.
- Over half of respondents felt the general standard of NHS care had stayed about the same over the last 5 years, while 22% felt it had gotten better.
- Respondents were willing to travel further for more specialized or complex care but less so for services like A&E or GP care. Nearly half were prepared to travel further even if it risked closure of

This document discusses several challenges facing the healthcare system including health inequality, the changing role of hospitals in Ireland and internationally, and the push toward integrated care due to demographic factors. It notes that hospitals are increasingly expected to work more closely with primary care, social care, and community services to provide coordinated care across settings. Internationally, some healthcare systems like Kaiser Permanente in the US have reduced costs by emphasizing preventive care and shifting care delivery out of hospitals when possible. The growing elderly population is also increasing cost pressures on healthcare systems.

The total population comprises of 48.5% males and 51.5 % female. The county has two main healthcare facilities that provide services to the community of radius of approximately 10-miles. The Mission Hospital Regional Foundation Centre acts as a communal ship due to its functions. Besides, the mission health Centre is prominent to partner with other facilities such as CHOC Children’s (Burgess, Shaw & Kellas, 2011). The two healthcare facilities provide services to a total of nine municipalities at Viejo. These municipalities are San Juan Capistrano, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Mission Viejo, Ladera, and Rancho Santa Margarita.

Also, the mission health Centre is prominent to partner with other facilities such as CHOC Children’s (Burgess, Shaw & Kellas, 2011).
The facilities serve nine municipalities which include: San Juan Capistrano, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Mission Viejo, Ladera, and Rancho Santa Margarita.
THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT
Common senior medical situations
The Golden Age Hospital performs an important role in the community because it provides quality healthcare services to infected people and the old.
Many common health conditions affect the old age in the municipality.
Some of the health conditions include: heart attack conditions, lungs problems, and coronary diseases.
Presently, it is challenging to deal with these health conditions due to lack of enough facilities.
Thus, an extra wing of the Golden Age Hospital will help to provide quality health care.
Common senior medical situations
The makeup of the Golden Age Hospital in the Mission Viejo and its surroundings is useful because it provides quality healthcare services to infected people and the old. Many common health situations affect the old age in the municipality. These most common health conditions include heart attack conditions, lungs problems, and coronary diseases, which has been reported in places like Aliso Viejo and Laguna Hills (Collins, Connor, Mott & Hickey, 2015). Currently, dealing with these common healthcare conditions is challenging because there are no enough health facilities that can provide all needed services to the public. In most cases, senior medical situations need special attention which should be addressed with more care. Therefore, there is need for an extra wing at the Golden Age.

Therefore, there is need for an extra wing at the Golden Age Hospital that should be specifically responsible to handle senior medical conditions only.
Major Medical Institutions
The senior healthcare institution in the municipality is the two hospitals located in Viejo that primarily provide acute healthcare services and respite healthcare services to the elderly. These healthcare services are susceptible; thus, it can allow caregivers to attend to other daily routines.
Market Research and Segmentation
Targeting and location of Golden Age Hospital
According to the current situation in the city, there is a need for more wing of the facility to prove healthcare services to the aging population that requires more attention. The development and modernization of more extensions in the facility will help to provide supplementary services to the two existing hospitals to deliver excellence healthcare services to old people. Statistically, in the nine counties, around 17.5 % of the total population is fifty-five years of age assuming the average age is 77 years (Ha ...
Professor David Oliver
The document discusses making health services fit for purpose for an aging population. It notes that systems were designed for episodic care but are now serving people with complex, long-term conditions. This mismatch means people get passed between silos without coordination. The document advocates focusing on prevention, early intervention, and inverting the traditional triangle model of care. It argues that while some care is excellent, services must improve outcomes, experiences, safety, efficiency and fairness. Solutions proposed include education, inspection, empowering patients, and clinical leadership to spread best practices. Recent reforms in England present opportunities to redesign pathways and better integrate health and social care.

Investment in Primary Care, Michael Fine, MD - SLC 2015
(1) Primary care has a public purpose of improving population health outcomes at affordable costs. Investing in primary care services like open access, extended hours, quality improvement activities, and increasing patient enrollment can generate returns through better health and lower healthcare spending.
(2) There are multiple potential sources of investment in primary care, including state departments of health, Medicaid, Medicare, health plans, employers, and foundations. Investment approaches may differ between more conservative "red states" and liberal "blue states".
(3) To stimulate investment in primary care, advocates should build political support among patients, speak with a unified voice, work with state governments and payers, and provide leadership.

2. The Explicit Health Guarantees (GES) plan established in 2005 to provide universal access to treatments for 69 prioritized health conditions.
3. How the GES plan ensures coverage, access, funding and quality of treatment for chronic kidney failure and kidney transplants in Chile.
Equality & Diversity 1
This document discusses equality and diversity initiatives at a healthcare trust. It summarizes schemes to promote race, disability, and gender equality. For race equality, it notes differences in patient and workforce demographics. For disability equality, it outlines key concerns for deaf patients, such as access and communication barriers. It also proposes solutions like sign language training for staff. For gender equality, it analyzes differences in health issues, healthcare use, and outcomes between men and women. The trust recognizes it must tailor services to both genders and collect gender-specific data. Overall, the trust aims to better understand and meet the needs of its diverse patient population.
Where is the NHS now?
The document summarizes the progress of the NHS in England between 1997 and 2010 based on criteria for a high-performing health system. Key successes included reducing waiting times, establishing clinical standards, and improved health outcomes for major diseases. However, challenges remained around access to services, health inequalities, patient experience in mental health, and demonstrating value for money. Moving forward, ensuring consistent quality and addressing long-term conditions would be priorities in light of tighter budgets.

The document discusses the future of healthcare and General Health System's strategic plan to transform care delivery. It notes that healthcare spending is rising while community health is not improving. General Health System aims to focus on population health and value-based care through initiatives like a telehealth program, price transparency tools, and expanding access to primary and specialty care across multiple campuses and clinics. The system has received numerous quality awards and aims to continue leading the transition to a more affordable and accessible healthcare model.
Health care in australia
Health care in Australia is delivered through both public and private systems. The public system is funded through taxes and Medicare provides universal healthcare access. Private health insurance can be purchased for services like hospitals and extras. Approximately 90% of health spending currently goes to treating illness rather than prevention. There is a push to increase funding for prevention to improve health and control costs as the population ages. New technologies have improved disease detection but also increase costs.

Nzis Sp Health
Under New Zealand's public health system, all essential hospital treatment is free to all residents. A person's first point of contact with the health system is typically their general practitioner (GP). GPs provide primary care services on a partially subsidized basis. More serious conditions require referral to specialists within the public hospital system, where treatment is free. The public system also provides free maternity care, child health services, prescriptions subsidies, and dental care for children.

effect of gangs
Glasgow was branded the murder capital of western Europe due to high murder rates, with more than 170 gangs in the city and stabbings accounting for half of all murders in Scotland. Most deadly attacks in Glasgow are fueled by alcohol or drugs and involve stabbings, typically carried out by males aged 16 to 29 who know the victim. Crime rates in Glasgow are also higher than in New York City.
Gangs 3
Gangs engage in vandalism like graffiti by writing their names and tags on buildings. They also engage in violent crimes, especially in Scotland where knife attacks are common. Joining a gang means expected to fight with other gangs, which can result in injury or death. Gangs use social media and phones to organize fights with rival gangs.
Gangs 2
Gangs engage in antisocial and destructive behaviors like vandalism, fighting, and drug and alcohol abuse that negatively impact communities. Their activities destroy the local environment, scare residents who don't feel safe, and influence younger people to join gangs. Gangs organize fights through social media and when members are under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Their violence places a financial burden on health services and leaves families heartbroken by deaths from gang attacks.
Gangs
1. Gangs in Scotland typically use knives rather than guns in fights, and alcohol is usually involved in starting rivalries between gangs. Common drinks include Buckfast, cider, vodka, and cheap drinks.
2. The term "Ned" refers to stereotypical young working class males who engage in anti-social behavior like hooliganism, drinking, and petty crime. However, not all youths wearing tracksuits or Burberry should be labeled as such.
3. The most deprived areas in Scotland according to statistics are located in Glasgow and Edinburgh, with Glasgow having the highest rates of child poverty.
Crime 1
The document discusses several factors that contribute to gang violence and anti-social behavior in neighborhoods. It notes that gangs fight due to influences like alcohol, drugs, boredom, and seeking adrenaline rushes. They mark their territory through vandalism and graffiti with their gang logos. Older gang members encourage younger ones, perpetuating fighting across generations. Gangs communicate through websites, phone calls, texts, and chat rooms to organize fights. Their behavior stresses local residents, with one woman moving due to issues caused by youths in her area. Potential solutions proposed include creating youth clubs, more education, facilities, and increased police patrols.
Pass Modern Studies Higher
The document provides guidance for students taking the Modern Studies exam in Scotland. It outlines the format, timing, and requirements for Paper 1 and Paper 2. Paper 1 involves answering questions from different sections and choosing between two response models. Paper 2 involves a decision-making exercise using three sources of information. The document provides sample essay titles and advice on preparing responses, including using evidence, maintaining focus on the question, and time management. It emphasizes the importance of planning, using sources effectively, and demonstrating balanced analysis in Paper 2.
DME
The document provides guidance on how to tackle the Decision-Making Exercise (DME), which makes up Paper 2 of the Higher Grade exam. The DME tests the ability to evaluate complex source materials and make a decision. It has two parts: 1) answering evaluating questions about 3 sources and 2) writing a report to advise on a course of action using evidence from the sources. The summary focuses on the key steps for each part, including spending 20 minutes on part 1 and 55 minutes on planning and writing the report. Sources should be cross-referenced and background knowledge included to support the decision. Common mistakes to avoid are also outlined.
Health & Wealth
The document discusses several aspects of the UK healthcare system, including:
1) The NHS is publicly funded through national insurance, income tax and charges. It provides universal coverage for primary care through general practitioners and hospitals.
2) Private health insurance covers around 10 million people and provides an alternative to the NHS, but some argue it creates inequality and impacts the NHS.
3) There are inequalities in health outcomes based on factors like socioeconomic class, geography, gender and ethnicity. Improving lifestyle choices could help reduce these inequalities.
4) Community care aims to allow the elderly to remain independent at home but is underfunded and standards of care homes vary, while informal carers receive little support.
Health Inequalities
There are many factors that influence health inequalities in the UK, including geographical area, racial group, gender, and social class, with social class having a strong link to poverty. While health has improved overall, gaps between higher and lower social classes persist and may be widening. Approaches to solving health inequalities debate whether the focus should be on collective government action to address root social and economic causes, or more individualistic approaches emphasizing personal responsibility and lifestyle changes. Current thinking in the UK and Scotland incorporates elements of both, with a greater emphasis on prevention through social inclusion and poverty reduction policies.
Health & Social Class
The document discusses how social class is related to health in the UK, with three main points. Wealthier people tend to have better health due to factors like education, lifestyle, and living environment. Lower social classes have less access to healthy, nutritious foods and are more likely to develop cancer and other diseases from occupational hazards or unhealthy behaviors. Geography also plays a role, as those living in more impoverished areas face greater health risks. Overall, the data shows that people in lower social classes in the UK are much more likely to suffer from poor health outcomes.
Inequalities - Health Care Provision
There are significant inequalities in health outcomes and healthcare spending across different regions of the UK. Mortality rates are highest in Scotland, yet Scotland receives the highest funding per capita for healthcare. However, more funding does not necessarily correlate with better health outcomes, as areas within countries also show inequalities. Factors like deprivation, rurality, and access to services may better explain the health differences between regions.
Inequalities in health - social class
1) Numerous studies over many years have found a link between socioeconomic status and health inequalities in the UK, with those in lower social classes experiencing worse health outcomes.
2) The Black Report of 1980 and subsequent reports like the Acheson Report of 1998 found that factors like low income, unemployment, poor housing and education were key causes of health inequalities and that the gap between social classes was widening.
3) These reports recommended policies to reduce poverty and increase spending on health education to prevent illness, but UK governments were often critical of the findings and reluctant to implement the recommendations.
Inequalities in health - lifestyle
Lifestyle factors such as diet, obesity, smoking, and lack of exercise have a significant effect on health. Poor diet and lack of exercise are the main causes of rising obesity levels in the UK, where over half of adults are overweight. Obesity rates are higher among lower social classes and have increased health costs. Improving diet and increasing exercise levels are important for addressing health inequalities.
Inequalities in health care
The report studied health inequalities across the UK and found a widening gap between northern and southern areas. The six worst health areas were located in Glasgow, Scotland. People living in poorer areas had higher rates of poverty, infant mortality, and preventable death. The report concluded that reducing health inequalities required government action to tackle the underlying causes of poverty.
Health and wealth
Wealth in the UK is measured based on assets like housing, pensions, savings, and income sources like employment, benefits, and self-employment. While the UK has a GDP per capita of £17,300, making it the 19th richest in the OECD and 24th richest country globally, relative and absolute poverty remain issues, with relative poverty defined as lacking necessities and absolute poverty as being deprived of basic needs. Poverty levels grew in the 1980s when the richest 10% saw income rise 65% while the poorest saw a 13% drop, and have remained high, with 1 in 4 people and 1 in 3 children living in poverty. Recent trends show fewer poor families with children or pensioners,
Health comparison
The document discusses health inequalities in the UK based on findings from several government reports since 1842. It shows a strong link between poverty and poor health, though overall health has improved. Two nearby areas, Drumchapel and Bearsden, are compared, showing Drumchapel residents are much more likely to die young from common causes like heart disease. Recommendations are sought for reducing the health divide in West Dunbartonshire, particularly for young people.
voter behaviour
Social class is no longer the dominant factor in shaping political attitudes and voting behavior. While some residual class loyalty remains, factors like personality, policy issues, media influence, and regional differences now play a larger role in how people vote. Voters are also more volatile and willing to change their party alignments. With more floating voters, political parties must now appeal to a wider range of demographic groups and policy priorities to attract votes.
Wealth and Health
The document discusses causes of inequalities in wealth and health such as unemployment, low income, age, gender, and race. It outlines UK government strategies to reduce these inequalities, including legislation, directing resources to the old and children, advertising campaigns, welfare-to-work programs, and promoting individual responsibility and social inclusion. The government has had mixed success in meeting its targets to improve wealth, health, and reduce inequalities, but overall progress has been more positive than negative.
DME
This document provides guidance on how to pass a decision making exercise (DME). It advises the reader to carefully read three sources of information, answer evaluation questions about each source in short simple answers, and write a report using the sources that refers to problems the decision could cause and has a conclusion. It stresses integrating external information into the report, carefully managing time, and treating the entire paper 2 exam as a DME to pass.
