BACKGROUND
0he revie1 supported the PH+ model as a frame1or. to mo*ilize
communities and health care providers to move for1ard 1ith health sector
reform on a local" regional" and national level%
Health sector reform recognizes that all mem*ers of a community 1ith
highly diverse interests are directly concerned 1ith health and health care% Such
processes reJuire a gradual and transparent approach to development that
fosters the understanding of those involved directly in the provision of care" as
1ell as the recipients of care% &oreover" implementation reJuires
intergovernmental association and cooperation and the participation of the
private sector" non2governmental organizations" and individuals involved in
health and health care% Overall" PH+ models must *e implemented that are
comprehensive" em*race health promotion and disease prevention services" and
eFtend health services to all 1ith eIcient use of increasingly scarce resources%
,n order to shift the focus of health delivery systems from acute" curative
medicine to the inclusion of health protection and health promotion" the health
care system must decentralize some of the decision2ma.ing processes to
regional and community levels (4reen" 9CC>)% Health professions training
programs must increasingly thin. glo*ally" *ut assume a greater role in the
promotion of health 1ithin their o1n communities% Additionally" health care
providers must engage a *roader range of disciplines" such as dentistry"
medicine" nursing and non2medical groups (e%g%" community health 1or.ers) in
partnerships and coalitions for health research and health care activities%

2/ MODELS OF CARE
2/0 MODELS OF CARE FOR HEALTH CARE PRACTICE, EDUCATION, AND
RESEARCH
0heories and models of care are an integral part of healthcare practice"
education" and research (Alderson" 9CCA)% 0he choice of models" al*eit often
unac.no1ledged" shapes the 1ay practitioners" educators" and researchers
collect" analy2e" inter,ret" and disseminate information% 0o *e eDective" 1e must
deconstruct our 1ays of M.no1ingN and understanding the inBuence of the
values and philosophies forming the foundation of our practice" teaching" and
research% As 1e increasingly 1or. 1ith culturally diverse groups" .no1ledge
must *e constructed in a manner that accurately reBects the nature of
diversities and the conseJuences on responses to health (,m O &eleis" 9CCC)%
hile theories in health care may range from eFplicit hypotheses to models
or frame1or.s that are eFpressly used to guide oneKs practice or research
(Alderson" 9CCA)" conventional approaches to .no1ledge development in health
care practice" research" and education are grounded in positivist theories
(Oliver" 9CCA)% Over the past century" the medical model has *een the implicit"
default model of care%
3.1.1 Medical Model
0he conventional medical model uses a logical positivism philosophy" or
empiricism" to verify cause and aDect relationships for all human eFperiences
(ilson20homas" 9CC:)% ith this approach" the goal is to descri*e" predict" and
control human responses% (or eFample" practitioners and researchers use this
approach to locate the Mpro*lemN 1ithin the individual and orient health care
to1ard amelioration of disease rather than health% ,f Mo*serva*leN physiological
Endings are identiEed" then a prescri*ed course of action is underta.en%
0he medical model places the health2care professional as the eFpert
responsi*le for curing disease and dysfunction and MhelpingN people to achieve
Mhealth and normalcyN (Oliver" 9CCA)% 0he professional role is legitimized and
professionals are authorized to la*el people as deEcient and in need of care%
Provision of care (interventions) 1ithin the medical model focus on remediation
of personal health *ehaviors or curing *iological factors (i%e%" physical or mental
a*normality or impairment) to restore health status5 1here prevailing research
methods include controlled trials" random statistical samples" and structured
Juestionnaires% #ecause the medical model focuses primarily on individual
impairments and diseases" health is usually implicitly conceptualized as the
a*sence of disease (Peters" 9CCA)% +onseJuently" a limited perspective often
fails to eFplain many of the social and environmental factors that account for
todayKs health concerns and ineJuities around the glo*e (Parsons" 9CCC)% 0he
traditional *iomedical model does not consider the values em*edded in society"
nor onePs social positionLa reBection of socioeconomic status and povertyLas
an over2arching determinant of health status%
)
MODELS OF CARE
Practitioners and researchers often consider health care rooted in positivist
philosophy as value2free" reduci*le and isolata*le5 yet" personal histories and
eFperiences are not validated" and dialogue and sharing appear to *e irrelevant
in the process (ilson20homas" 9CC:)% /esearch and practice rooted in
traditional" empiricist methods that have separated the mind" *ody" and
eFternal environment are intrinsically pro*lematic% /irst" traditional approaches
to .no1ledge development that depend on assumptions of homogeneity"
normality" and statistical relia*ility" rather than coherent reBections of diverse
human eFperiences" have limitations in generating comprehensive models of
care (Hall" Stevens" O &eleis" 9CC>)% 0he .no1ledge gained from traditional
research produces a limited understanding a*out the inter2relationships *et1een
people" their environment" their health and their relationship 1ith their health
care provider% Secondly" o*taining *alanced po1er relationships is diIcult 1hen
research and practice is *ased on logical positivist philosophy% 3astly" a
reductionist approach to1ard research and practice can perpetuate the
underlying assumptions that one has a*out gender" race" ethnicity" disa*ility"
and class% Such an approach inhi*its gaining an understanding of critical
eFternal factors that may impact onePs health status%
Despite the technological eFcellence and sophisticated medical care that has
*een advanced *y using the medical model" its usefulness is *ecoming
increasingly limited in the current health care delivery system% Several issues
suggest a need to move *eyond the medical model and to use eFisting theories
and models that develop and employ models of care suIcient to achieve PH+
criteria%
hen health is narro1ly deEned 1ithin the medical model" diDerences in
cultural attitudes and values regarding deEnitions of MhealthN are often ignored%
&oreover" the use of diagnoses creates patient dependency on the eFpertise of
the health care professional to treat the Mpro*lemN that has *een socially and
scientiEcally constructed% ,ncreasingly" this po1er ineJuity is vie1ed as a
mechanism of control and oppression for disenfranchised groups% ith a
restricted vie1 of health" clients are seen as passive recipients of medical care"
rather than active participants 1or.ing colla*oratively and cooperatively 1ith
multiple health relevant disciplines% S.yroc.eting medical care costs" decreasing
access to health care and increasing disparities in health care status among
groups of people (1omen" aging adults" racial?ethnic minorities" disa*led people"
and children) also suggest a need to create ne1 models of care% ,deally" useful
models of care delineate the su*Hectivity and social construction of reality"
sociopolitical and economic inBuences on health care research and practice" and
the prevalence of discrimination against marginalized groups (,m O &eleis"
9CCC)% &odels that capture the compleFities of multiple determinants of health
status and the diversity and sociopolitical and historical conteFts inherent
among persons are more li.ely to achieve the desired connections *et1een
factors 1hich inBuence our understanding of health%
Philosophies and models of health care are increasingly used to address the
sociopolitical" cultural" and economic forces that may impact onePs health and to
address po1er im*alances eFperienced *y disenfranchised groups and
individuals% 0hese philosophies and models are posing important Juestions for
