NEW HEALTH SYSTEMS: Integrated Care and Equity

Stephane Callens

Proceedings of the INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE, 2016, vol. 10, issue 1, 552-564

Abstract: Health inequalities are a growing concern, fueled by developments, real or perceived, of health systems in the world. It is therefore to understand the dynamics that drive health systems, to provide fair architectures and to compare different programs of integrated care that are proposed. If the persistence of health inequalities is well established, it does not receive a satisfactory explanation provided. The strongly hierarchical societies are deteriorating life expectancy. The most frequently cited mechanism is a stress factor; others emphasize advances in life expectancy in the world. The managements of health risks follow a progressive development, while the habits of the poor lead to consumption introducing many delays. These rules of life also manage health issues. The ethics of integrated care improves coordination. The expression of medical ethics based on equity is old, as well as the good cooperation of concerns in the health system. The integrated care is the basis of contemporary developments normative frameworks of health systems. The pitfalls encountered are from old definitions of specific areas for social support, the pharmaceutical therapeutic intervention, and finally behavior. Additional focus on quality and risk analysis, integrated care can improve the performance of global health, and combine universal coverage, equity and quality of care.
