Global Best Practices in Healthcare Management: A Comparative Analysis

Abstract

Introduction: The whole of healthcare in a country is focused on the delivery of high-quality and efficient healthcare services, it will be essential to explore successful practices from abroad. Taking a comparative approach, this study finds several best practices across the globe in health system management, and identifying these core elements will help contribute to the success of healthcare systems.
Methods: A literature review was performed to search for studies and reports on best practices in healthcare management from all over the world. We searched databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and WHO reports. The included studies were appraised for their relevance, credibility, and rigor. Through thematic and pattern identification and analysis, the findings were synthesized to produce the results. 
Results: Differences and similarities in healthcare management practices have been found, as evidenced by the results of the review. The key commonalities included the focus on patient-centered care, the importance of going beyond effective communication and leveraging technology to enhance the delivery of health services. Furthermore, the presence of an explicit healthcare policy and competent leadership were demonstrated to be critical elements of a successful health system in most countries.
Conclusions: Implementing a student-approach-based clinical education. A strong and pragmatic policy, propelled by good leadership, is the formula for successful healthcare. Healthcare management practices vary across countries, pointing to the fact that there is no universal template or model for managing healthcare systems. This is an excellent benefit to healthcare professionals and planners because it will give them a broader outlook on effective practices in the world of healthcare delivery that can be adapted and implemented in the desired environment to enhance the efficient delivery of healthcare services.
