Healthcare Delivery Models

Healthcare delivery models are systems that organize how medical services are provided to patients. They define who delivers care (like doctors, nurses, or clinics), where it takes place (hospitals, outpatient centers, or home), and how services are coordinated and paid for. Different models include fee-for-service, where providers are paid for each treatment; managed care, which emphasizes cost control and prevention; and integrated care, where multiple providers collaborate to deliver comprehensive services. These models aim to improve quality, efficiency, and accessibility of healthcare for patients.
