Challenges:
→ Collaboration between different kinds of organizations in project consortium
→ Fixed partners during project
→ Project focus is too broad
→ Failure to address value proposition for all value network actors
→ No clear plan how to continue after the project
→ Time frame
→ The relationship between healthcare and social care systems results in difficulties in moving money between them.
→ Most health services are in general, not user-centered, and are designed and delivered according to traditional systems of care (Primary, Secondary etc.)
When talking about healthcare systems there are a few factors that we should consider essential in defining the experience; Personal payment, choice of doctor and freedom of practice

The demand of a constantly developing health service has required each professional to become highly specialised within their own field. Despite the focus for all professionals being on the delivery high quality care (Darzi, 2008); no one profession is able to deliver a complete, tailored package. This illustrates the importance of using inter-professional collaboration in delivering health care. Patient centric care is further highlighted in policies, emphasising the concept that treating the illness alone whilst ignoring sociological and psychological requirements on an individual is no longer acceptable. Kenny (2002) states that at the core of healthcare is an agreement amongst all the health professionals enabling them to evolve as the patient health requirements become more challenging but there are hurdles for these coalitions to be effective: for example the variation in culture of health divisions and hierarchy of roles. Here Hall (2005) illustrates this point by stating that physicians ignore the mundane problems of patients, and if they feel undervalued they do not fully participate with a multidisciplinary team.
...re include limited resources and primary care must be central place in the delivery of health services. I think both of these models will work by reforming the structure of health care.
The U.S. expends far more on healthcare than any other country in the world, yet we get fewer benefits, less than ideal health outcomes, and a lot of dissatisfaction manifested by unequal access, the significant numbers of uninsured and underinsured Americans, uneven quality, and unconstrained wastes. The financing of healthcare is also complicated, as there is no single payer system and payment schemes vary across payors and providers.
Having and giving respect to both the human rights and dignity to both the patients using the service, and the health care professionals that are giving out and distributing the health care service. The central role in the health process will aid in the development of the economic growth towards the health sector. The patient centered approach will end all the forms of the discrimination, since the patient is seen as overall human being, independently of the race, gender, that might be different from the other patients. All the patients are included, in the inclusion process, by the transparency and accountability.
Primary care is critical to the delivery of integrated, comprehensible health care services by clinicians accountable for addressing most personal health care needs, developing a sustained partnership with patients, and practicing in the context of family and community.

Many people do not even know a majority of the medical problems they face do not require hospitalization because there are two main types of health care, outpatient and inpatient, and that they can be vastly different in terms of care received for an individual. Outpatient means that the patient does not need to check themselves in to a facility or hospital and in many cases with modern day hospice and in-home doctorial and nursing services may never even need to visit a facility altogether for simple and routine procedures. If a problem is more severe a person may schedule to see a specialist in the field they have medical issues in, outside of hospitals once again, to receive the medical information they need on their problem. Inpatient care
Some nations through the course of developing policy have incorporated some mechanism’s that are truly unique, international health care models that have some degree of operating and serving their nations populations basically have a foundation built on a contrasting median of:
Foremost, as stated, the conception of what is the best health care system is entirely subjective. It is a question that can never truly be answered correctly by any person. While one person may believe that a certain health care system is the best, another may contend for an opposing health care system. While favorability of a particular system is subjective, the overall efficiency of a system is one that a person can develop a greater understanding of by looking at the proponents of a system. The aforementioned proponents of accessibility, costs and overall quality allow for a sterner declaration of what health care system is the most efficient overall, or which is the “best”. These three proponents are significant as they are the main actors in shaping how a health care system operates. As a result, these three proponents also have a significant impact on all people and their health. If health care is not accessible or costs so much that a person cannot afford it, then one’s health has the potential to deteriorate. As for quality, the notion is vital in that one’s health care system will not be effective if the services provided are not standard. Consequently, one should carefully examine these proponents of a health care system in order to make an educated determination on which system is overall the most effective.
Primary care are generally physician owned, physician’s usually divides their available time for walk-in and scheduled appointments. They generally provide appointments on first come first serve basis it can be either walk-in or through telephone booking. Usually they reserve some slots for urgent cases. Demand spillover is major drawback of this system. Specialty care are generally focuses on specific treatments or complex treatments. They follow open source appointments but in most of cases they require primary physical referral. Elective surgery appointments are scheduled well in advance and urgent cases are given first priority. They usually maintain more operation rooms to accommodate urgent cases. And surgeries are performed on both outpatients and
Health care systems is the patterns of beliefs about the causes of illnesses ,norms governing the choice and evaluation of treatment and institutions and settings in which the health care takes place as well as power relations that govern the interactions between patients and their healers.
The goal of Primary Health Care is better health for all but most of the countries do not have the proper comprehensiveness in planning allocating proper resources for Primary Health Care. For a continuous process of better care it requires an extensive network of functional health infrastructure with referral networks.
