Healthcare system

A healthcare system, also sometimes referred to as health care system or as healthcare system, is the organization of people, institutions, and resources that deliver health care services to meet the health needs of target populations.

There is a wide variety of health systems around the world, with as many histories and organizational structures as there are nations. Implicitly, nations must design and develop health systems in accordance with their needs and resources, although common elements in virtually all health systems are primary healthcare and public health measures.

In some countries, health system planning is distributed among market participants. In others, there is a concerted effort among governments, trade unions, charities, religious organizations, or other co-ordinated bodies to deliver planned health care services targeted to the populations they serve. However, health care planning has been described as often evolutionary rather than revolutionary

Cutting inappropriate use of diagnostic procedures improves the quality of health care and the appropriateness of treatment, reduces wastage of health resources, and protects patients from undue risks and inconveniences. However, programs to reduce inappropriate use also require resources. Therefore, costs deriving from inappropriate use should be estimated before considering implementing programs to reduce it. However, the evidence on the rate of inappropriate use of LSMRI is sparse
