Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

Integrated Healthcare System01:20

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,...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model01:15

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Health Informatics
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • The aging population in Japan leads to an increase in elderly individuals requiring regular medication.
  • Elderly individuals face significant risks of medication errors, necessitating improved monitoring systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an intelligent medicine case system (iMec System) for assisting caretakers in medication monitoring for the elderly.
  • To enhance medication adherence by confirming the type, quantity, timing, and method of drug administration.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of the iMec System with RFID readers in the recipient's home to track medication and related items.
  • Utilizing RFID data to monitor the movement of medicines, foods, drinks, dishes, and utensils.
  • Applying fuzzy inference to evaluate the adequacy of medication intake based on collected data.

Main Results:

  • The iMec System successfully confirmed medication type, quantity, and timing.
  • Experiments validated the system's ability to recognize associated foods, drinks, and utensils.
  • The developed fuzzy inference method effectively evaluated the adequacy of how medicines were taken.

Conclusions:

  • The iMec System offers a robust solution for medication monitoring in the elderly population.
  • The integration of RFID technology and fuzzy inference enhances the accuracy and reliability of medication adherence checks.
  • This system has the potential to significantly reduce medication-related risks for elderly individuals and support their caretakers.
