The importance of effective health management in improving patient outcomes: A systematic review
Keywords:
healthcare, health management, patientAbstract
Effective health management is a critical component of achieving desired patient outcomes in modern health systems. However, despite the efforts of policy makers and analysts in the healthcare sector, the role of management remains an area where there are significant gaps in knowledge. This paper aims to present the results of a systematic review of the literature examining the relationship between health management and patient outcomes. The review aims to integrate and synthesize the existing evidence base to answer the following question: How can care systems and practices be managed and organized to achieve better outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes? The importance of this question is emphasized by an introduction to the policy issues that undoubtedly face our healthcare system and those of other countries in the developed world. By combining clinical, organizational and professional administrative measures, improvements in access, coordination, clinical and human outcomes are sought.
