Healthcare management models are frameworks that guide the planning, organization, delivery, and evaluation of health services. They can vary in terms of their scope, goals, strategies, and outcomes. However, no single model can fit every context or situation. Therefore, healthcare managers need to customize their models to meet the unique needs of their stakeholders, such as patients, providers, payers, regulators, and communities. In this article, we will explore how healthcare management models can be adapted to different settings, challenges, and opportunities.
The first step to customize a healthcare management model is to assess the current situation of the health system or organization. This involves identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) that affect the performance and quality of health services. The assessment should also consider the external and internal factors that influence the health needs, expectations, and preferences of the stakeholders. For example, some factors could be demographic changes, epidemiological trends, technological innovations, policy reforms, or cultural values.

Again I can’t but mention the whole idea of design thinking. You cannot design something for people you have not spoken to. This is a fundamental error often times made by leadership both in and outside the healthcare industry.

The simple principle like ask before talk. That is how it can be customised to be relevant to the system and to be really contextual
The next step is to define the vision and mission of the health system or organization. The vision is a statement of the desired future state or outcome of the health services. The mission is a statement of the purpose or reason for existence of the health system or organization. The vision and mission should reflect the values and principles of the stakeholders, as well as the goals and objectives of the healthcare management model. For example, some vision and mission statements could be to improve access, quality, efficiency, or equity of health services.

I have developed a patented computer application using artificial intelligence for otolaryngology. Up to 20-50% of all urgent care complaints are related to ENT. This app is going to be a great a.djunct to telemedicine and to urgent care where it brings healthcare providers to the level of the specialist.

The third step is to choose the appropriate healthcare management model that aligns with the vision and mission of the health system or organization. There are many types of healthcare management models, such as integrated, decentralized, market-based, or public-private. Each model has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the context and situation. The choice of the model should be based on the evidence, best practices, and lessons learned from other health systems or organizations that have adopted similar models. For example, some criteria to compare and contrast models could be cost-effectiveness, patient satisfaction, provider engagement, or health outcomes.

The most appropriate model is what the team accepts or considers most relevant to the stakeholders in the ground and what will be acceptable to all the team members
The fourth step is to adapt the chosen healthcare management model to the specific needs of the health system or organization. This involves modifying or adjusting the model to suit the local conditions, resources, and capacities. The adaptation should also address the gaps, challenges, and barriers that may hinder the implementation or sustainability of the model. For example, some adaptation strategies could be to tailor the model to the cultural norms, legal frameworks, or organizational structures of the health system or organization.

Increasing engine model configurability to meet the expectations of a large majority of stakeholders that want to integrate as many futuristic features into a single system as possible.Second thought is system will be more resilient if it is open to integration.
The fifth step is to implement and monitor the healthcare management model in the health system or organization. This involves developing and executing a plan that outlines the activities, roles, responsibilities, timelines, and budgets for the model. The implementation should also involve the participation and communication of the stakeholders, as well as the training and support of the staff. The monitoring should involve collecting and analyzing data that measure the inputs, processes, outputs, and outcomes of the model. For example, some monitoring indicators could be service utilization, quality indicators, financial indicators, or patient-reported outcomes.

The final step is to evaluate and improve the healthcare management model in the health system or organization. This involves assessing the impact and effectiveness of the model on the health services and the stakeholders. The evaluation should also identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of the model, as well as the lessons learned and best practices. The improvement should involve making changes or modifications to the model based on the evaluation findings and feedback from the stakeholders. For example, some improvement actions could be to scale up, replicate, or innovate the model.
