dc.description.abstract |
The study was aimed at furthering the health objectives of the government's Reconstruction and
Development Programme (ANC 1994b) in the area of primary health care. .
The purpose of the study was to examine the possible reduction of medical scheme claims for
cardiovascular disease by means of primary health care, so that medical scheme benefits do not
become exhausted so rapidly.
The overall outcome of the study showed that if cardiovascular disease could be diagnosed and
treated early, the financial benefits could be substantial. This was illustrated by the comparison
of primary, secondary and tertiary treatment of cardiovascular disease using case studies over a
period of one year.
Recommendations centered around nurse-based primary health care for cardiovascular disease
and the cost-effective management of the medical scheme. It was concluded that as a result of
nurse-based primary health care, costs could be contained so that medical scheme benefits
would not become exhausted so rapidly. |
