Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Health Literacy

Health Literacy

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative programs,...

Integrated Healthcare System

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Concepts of Health and Illness

Concepts of Health and Illness

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Medical Terminology
Digital Health

Background:

Effective ehealth systems rely on standardized clinical terminologies for seamless data exchange.
SNOMED CT is widely recognized as a suitable standard for clinical information sharing.
Potential exists for patient and citizen terminologies to be overlooked with widespread SNOMED CT adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the significance of citizen and patient terminologies within the context of interconnected ehealth environments.
To advocate for the integration of diverse voices in digital health communication.
To analyze the implications of prioritizing standardized terminologies over layperson terminology.

Main Methods:

Literature review on ehealth terminology standards.
Analysis of the role of citizen-generated health data.
Conceptual framework development for inclusive ehealth terminology.

Main Results:

Standardized terminologies facilitate interoperability but may not capture the full spectrum of patient experience.
Citizen terminologies offer valuable insights into personal health narratives and preferences.
Integrating diverse terminologies can enhance patient-centered care and shared decision-making.

Conclusions:

While SNOMED CT is vital for clinical data, it is essential to incorporate citizen and patient voices for holistic ehealth.
Future ehealth frameworks must accommodate a plurality of terminologies to ensure inclusivity.
Valuing the citizen's voice is paramount for a truly connected and patient-centric digital health ecosystem.
