  3. Institute of Medicine Ten Rules for System Redesign • Care is based on continuous healing relationships; • Care is customized according to patient needs/values; • The patient is the source of control; • Knowledge is shared and information flows freely; • Decision making is evidence-based; • Safety is a system property; • Transparency is necessary; • Needs are anticipated; • Waste is continuously decreased; and, • Cooperation among clinicians is a priority.

  4. Levels of the Health Care System (Berwick, 2002) • Level 1: Patient and Community • Experience of patients • Level 2: Microsystem • Functioning of small units of care delivery • Level 3: Organization • Functioning of organizations that house microsystems • Level 4: Environment • Policy, payment, regulation, accreditation • Shapes behavior, interests and opportunities of Level 3 organizations

  5. Defining Health • Medical Model Health defined by lack of presence of illness or disease (health defined by non-health) • Illness defined by person – Disease by medical professional • Sociological (Parsons) – Health is state of optimum capacity to fulfill social roles • Defined disease/illness not needed • But can be “ill” and still perform(?)

  6. Defining Health Society for Academic Emergency Medicine – Health is a state of physical &mental Well-being that facilitates the achievement of individual and social goals. WHO – Health is a complete sate of physical, mental &social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.

  8. Defining Health • ..And the Community Health Model: • Add care, prevention, health promotion & health education to attain holistic health • So what makes the most sense…Are these all “functional” definitions: • Are they feasible/doable? • Do they delineate reasonable boundaries for a health system? • How do we decide????

  9. Health Determinants & Justice • Health Determinants: • Lifestyle (personal?) • Environmental (social?) • Heredity • Care • Justice • Market – health/health care is individual good • Social – health/health care is social good
