Study Notes
Healthcare Provider Networks (HCPN)
- HCPN, formerly the health service delivery network, is defined in RA 11223.
- Comprises a combination of primary (barangay health stations, municipal health offices) to tertiary care providers, both public and private.
- Primary care providers navigate patients within the healthcare system, ensuring proper coordination and access to care.
Objectives of DOH AO No. 2020-2019
- Aims for a continuum of care through a people-centered and integrated health system that facilitates patient movement across different care levels.
Apex and End-referral Hospitals
- Apex hospitals are specialized institutions serving as the highest level in the healthcare pyramid (e.g., heart, lung centers).
- End-referral hospitals are tertiary facilities with various specialties and must meet DOH criteria to be considered apex.
- Apex hospitals are contracted standalone facilities under PhilHealth.
Specialty Centers
- Hospitals feature departmentalized specialties to address specific medical conditions requiring specialized training and equipment not available in primary care settings.
Referral Process
- Refers to the formal transfer of patient management between facilities, reporting up to higher resource hospitals, and returning patients to primary care providers for continuity.
Health Care Provider Definition
- Encompasses hospitals, healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses), community organizations, pharmacies, and diagnostic clinics.
Primary Care Provider Network (PCPN)
- A coordinated group of public, private, or mixed primary care providers functioning as the foundation of the HCPN.
Primary Care Facility
- Institutions that provide initial healthcare services, licensed or registered with the DOH.
- Not all RHUs qualify as primary care facilities pending DOH accreditation.
Primary Health Care
- Aiming for optimal health and well-being through equitable access to quality health services.
Primary Care Definition
- Initial, accessible, continuous, comprehensive, and coordinated care addressing various health needs with referral capabilities.
Primary Care Provider Characteristics
- Not every health care provider qualifies; must have certification in primary care from the DOH.
- Involves multidisciplinary teams delivering services in licensed health facilities.
Population-Based Health Services
- Health interventions targeting entire populations rather than individual patients.
- Examples include disease prevention, surveillance, public health policy development, and disaster response.
Individual-Based Health Services
- Services traceable to a single recipient, having a limited population-level impact.
General Guidelines for HCPNs
- Establish continuous care from primary to tertiary health services, ensuring efficient coordination mechanisms.
- Include patient navigation systems, electronic medical records, and standardized operations across HCPNs.
- HCPNs can partner with private sectors to enhance service capabilities.
Types of HCPN
- Public: Includes RHUs, secondary level hospitals, and apex institutions determined by demographic boundaries.
- Private: Mirrors public structures, driven by market forces for profit.
- Mixed: Combines public and private services based on contractual arrangements.
Components of HCPN
- Patients initially contact barangay health stations, with escalation to higher-level services as needed.
- Comprises PCPN and hospitals providing secondary and tertiary care.
Linkage to Apex Hospitals
- Apex hospitals provide specialty services not available within HCPNs, with eligibility determined by service capabilities set by the DOH.
Management Structure of the Provincial/City Health Board
- P/CHBs oversee the integrated local health system, setting policy directions and including representatives from indigenous communities.
Composition of the P/CHB
- Chairperson: Provincial governor or city mayor.
- Members include provincial health officers, health committee chairs, DOH representatives, and representatives from various sectors and communities.
