Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare management, the Satellite Medical Model has emerged as a strategic solution to enhance service delivery by decentralizing care through a network of satellite facilities connected to a central hub hospital. This model not only improves accessibility and optimizes resource utilization but also addresses workforce shortages, particularly in underserved regions. Rooted in the hub-and-spoke design from the transportation sector, the Satellite Medical Model facilitates efficient healthcare services, allowing primary care units to manage routine cases while more complex conditions are referred to specialized facilities. Despite its advantages, the implementation of this model faces significant challenges, including technical issues related to data security and interoperability, financial constraints, and operational complexities. This paper explores the potential of the Satellite Medical Model in modern hospital management, examining both its benefits and challenges. By identifying strategic approaches to mitigate these barriers, this study aims to provide healthcare leaders with actionable insights to effectively adopt this model, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and greater operational efficiency in healthcare delivery.
