- little to no concepts of diseases causes or processe
46
Primitive procedures
- blood letting, emetics: isolation and quarantine

- hospitals were just a place to separate the sick from the healthy
47

- hospitals grew in number from 100 to more than 5000
49

54
comparison in medicine and technology in 1900 to 2015
1900: No antibiotics or vaccines, TB was little understood. There were no screening tests, or medical treatments for infections or diseases. They didnt understand how lifestyle changes like diet and exercise can improve your life
2015: Most diseases are preventable though lifestyle changes. For ex: Stopping smoking can prevent lung cancer. Theres now screening for certain diseases and cancers. Diseases can also be prevented by exercise and diet

US has
- the largest annual healthcare expenditure across all the countries
- mortality rate and life expectancy is also below the average in most industrialized countries
61
US Relative performance compared to OECD avg
US has many factors lower than OECD avg like life expectancy in both males and females, low mortality rate, high obesity, high asthma
62
Socialized Medicine (Beveridge Model)
- Provides health care to all citizens and is financed by the gov. through tax payments
- employs practitioners, owns facilities and administers the healthcare system
63
Examples of Socialized Medicine
UK, Cuba, Spain and New Zealand
64
Decentralized National Health Program (Bismarck Model)
- employers and employees are required to obtain private health insurance usually provided by nongovernment insurance companies
- these health insurance plans do not make a profit and must include all citizens
- facilities like hospitals and clinics are privately owned
65
Examples of Bismarck Model
Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Japan and Switzerland
66
National health Insurance
Socialized health insurance model
- a single government-run insurance program that finances health care services that are provided by private payers with negotiated reimbursement
- health care delivery facilities are mostly privately owned
67
National health Insurance example
Canada and Taiwan
68
Out of pocket model
- found in the majority of the world and is common in developing countries
- no private health insurance or gov. sponsored health care system
- accompanied by shortages of healthcare facilities, low expenditures and poor health outcomes
- people that can afford health care get it and those who cant afford it stay sick and die
69
Out-of-Pocket example
Africa, India, China, and South America
70
How does funding effect health care delivery?
Public funding focuses on efficient allocation of resources
- higher proportion of public funding -> better and more equitable health outcomes
- better outcomes partially due to more equitable distribution of scarce resources
71
Developed Countries
High Income Economies
- Mostly industrialized capitalist democracies
- Strong health infrastructures
- Positive healthcare outcomes
72

77
Reasonable access to services is assured
plan is run by a nonprofit, public organization accountable to the provincial government
78
Structure of Canadian Health Care System
- Private insurance is allowed as supplemental coverage
- public facilities often have long wait times
- Private facilities provide better access to services and higher paid MDs
- must rely on private supplemental Rx coverage or out-of-pocket
79
Medicare
- covers outpatient prescription drugs for the following groups: seniors, low-income individuals, and patients with specific diseases states
80
German health care system
Krankenkasse "sickness funds"

- worlds oldest national health care system
- 85% of germans covered
- 11% have private insurance
- 4% recieve free medical services

86
Principles of UK health care system
- True socialized medicine
- most services are provided by practitioners that work for the government
- gov. controls establishment of primary-care practices
- secondary and tertiary care is provided by hospitals
- patients must be referred by their GP and wait times can be long
87
National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE)
- evaluates efficacy and cost-effectiveness of all NHS- approved drugs
88
Negative Formulary

89
Principles of Cuban Health Care System
1: Healthcare is right
2. Health care is the responsibility of the state
3. Preventative and curative services are integrated
4. Everyone participates in the function of the health care system
5. Health care activities are integrated with economic and social development
90
The US has
elements of all 4 models of health care
- Employer based benefits-Bismarck model
- VA, military, and Native American health systems- Beveridge Model
- Elderly, disabled, indigent in Medicare/Medicaid- National Socialized health insurance model
- Uninsured- out-of-pocket
91
Implications for US
- The U.S relies on private systems and funding for health care
- people with the ability to pay can get best possible health care
- spends more per person on health care than any other country yet doesn't achieve better health outcomes on average
92
Public health
is strongly linked to government regulations, policies, and political activity
93
Improving economic performance
- make patients more sensitive to health care costs and quality
- report costs, quality, and quantity (performance) of services of providers to promote competition
- design physician and hospital reimbursement with incentives to reduce costs
