Managed Care Organization
Une Managed Care Organisation (MCO) est un type d'organisation d'assurance maladie aux États-Unis. Il compte deux types d'organisations avec des modèles différents : les PPO () et les HMO (). Les HMO restreignent les soins de santé à l'intérieur d'un réseau spécifique (d'hôpitaux, de médecins, etc.), mais avec un PPO, plus coûteux, il est possible de consulter où on veut. Les HMO sont devenus très répandus depuis le , qui a notamment requis des entreprises employant plus de 25 salariés qu'elles offrent à ces derniers la possibilité de souscrire gratuitement à une HMO.
Assurance maladie
L’assurance maladie est un dispositif chargé d'assurer un individu face à des risques financiers de soins en cas de maladie, ainsi qu'un revenu minimal lorsque l'affection prive la personne de travail. Dans la plupart des pays occidentaux, une grande part de l'assurance maladie est prise en charge par l'État. C'est d'ailleurs une des composantes fondamentales de la sécurité sociale, et un devoir de l’État selon la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'homme de 1948.
Obamacare
Le Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (en français, Loi sur la Protection des Patients et les Soins Abordables), surnommée « Obamacare », est une loi votée par la législature du Congrès des États-Unis et promulguée par le président Barack Obama le . Elle constitue le principal volet de la réforme du système de protection sociale aux États-Unis, avec le Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act.
Fee-for-service
Fee-for-service (FFS) is a payment model where services are unbundled and paid for separately. In health care, it gives an incentive for physicians to provide more treatments because payment is dependent on the quantity of care, rather than quality of care. However evidence of the effectiveness of FFS in improving health care quality is mixed, without conclusive proof that these programs either succeed or fail. Similarly, when patients are shielded from paying (cost-sharing) by health insurance coverage, they are incentivized to welcome any medical service that might do some good.
Capitation (healthcare)
Capitation is a payment arrangement for health care service providers. It pays a set amount for each enrolled person assigned to them, per period of time, whether or not that person seeks care. The amount of remuneration is based on the average expected health care utilization of that patient, with payment for patients generally varying by age and health status. There are differing arrangements in different healthcare systems.
Cancer
Le cancer est une maladie provoquée par la transformation de cellules qui deviennent anormales et prolifèrent de façon excessive. Ces cellules déréglées finissent parfois par former une masse qu'on appelle tumeur maligne. Les cellules cancéreuses ont tendance à envahir les tissus voisins et à se détacher de la tumeur initiale. Elles migrent alors par les vaisseaux sanguins et les vaisseaux lymphatiques pour aller former une autre tumeur (métastase).
Pay for performance (healthcare)
In the healthcare industry, pay for performance (P4P), also known as "value-based purchasing", is a payment model that offers financial incentives to physicians, hospitals, medical groups, and other healthcare providers for meeting certain performance measures. Clinical outcomes, such as longer survival, are difficult to measure, so pay for performance systems usually evaluate process quality and efficiency, such as measuring blood pressure, lowering blood pressure, or counseling patients to stop smoking.
Preferred provider organization
In U.S. health insurance, a preferred provider organization (PPO), sometimes referred to as a participating provider organization or preferred provider option, is a managed care organization of medical doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers who have agreed with an insurer or a third-party administrator to provide health care at reduced rates to the insurer's or administrator's clients. A preferred provider organization is a subscription-based medical care arrangement.
Kaiser Permanente
Kaiser Permanente (ˈkaɪzər_pɜrməˈnɛnteɪ; KP) is an American integrated managed care consortium, based in Oakland, California, United States, founded in 1945 by industrialist Henry J. Kaiser and physician Sidney Garfield. Kaiser Permanente is made up of three distinct but interdependent groups of entities: the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. (KFHP) and its regional operating subsidiaries; Kaiser Foundation Hospitals; and the regional Permanente Medical Groups.
Single-payer healthcare
Single-payer healthcare is a type of universal healthcare in which the costs of essential healthcare for all residents are covered by a single public system (hence "single-payer"). Single-payer systems may contract for healthcare services from private organizations (as is the case in Canada) or may own and employ healthcare resources and personnel (as is the case in the United Kingdom). "Single-payer" describes the mechanism by which healthcare is paid for by a single public authority, not a private authority, nor a mix of both.
