Reorienting hospitals

Innovating hospital care

Description

Reorienting hospitals involves restructuring healthcare delivery to prioritize prevention, community engagement, and integrated care over traditional curative and inpatient services. This strategy aims to address inefficiencies, reduce healthcare costs, and improve population health by shifting resources toward primary care, health promotion, and outreach programs. Essential actions include redesigning hospital roles, fostering multidisciplinary collaboration, and aligning services with local health needs, thereby remedying fragmented care and overreliance on hospital-based treatment.
