There are various definitions of “care models”. However, the most important characteristic remains the mode of delivery of health services. The care model has been defined more precisely as a conceptual tool that is a standard that associates concept, belief and intention linked in different ways (1). This means that people receive care when needed, with optimal use of resources and from the appropriate provider. ****find reference…..A model of care depends on a descriptive image of the practice that characterizes the real objective of the care. Therefore, it may be different depending on the target group or the healthcare system used. For better understanding, listed below are examples of some healthcare models (strengths and weaknesses) studied during the course;1. Guided care model; one of the most efficient models for chronic patients, offers high-quality chronic care for these patients, as multiple (interdisciplinary) healthcare professionals are available for them, ensuring patient satisfaction(2).2. Chronic care model; takes a broad approach to ensure improved patient care and health outcomes, as it is patient-centered and involves the community(3).3. Preventive care model; Prevention is one of the most effective ways to reduce healthcare costs, although, if used unnecessarily, it could increase costs. However, it is a unique model that focuses on the patient-doctor relationship and aims to prevent disease/mortality through regular screening and hospital visits(4).4. Patient-centered care; this depends a lot on the relationship between doctor and patient. It revolves around patient needs, what matters to patients and can be very effective in reducing both costs and symptoms if communication is effective(5).
