Towards a new architecture, categories and taxonomy of healthcare

Expresso9 September 2026 at 07:00

The article proposes a new architecture for healthcare, questioning the traditional way of organizing and categorizing medical services. The central idea is to abandon the logic based on medical specialties as the main criterion for organizing care.

The proposal suggests that, instead of asking "which specialty does this patient belong to?", health professionals should ask other fundamental questions: what care does the patient need, what stage of their health journey are they at, what outcome is sought, and what competencies should be mobilized to respond to the patient's needs.

This approach represents a paradigm shift in thinking about the organization of healthcare, moving from a model centered on specialties to a model centered on the real needs of patients and the intended outcomes.
